HHMI ~ Two Houses and NT ~ Pt 23 ~ Peter Speaks to both Northern and Southern Kingdom on Pentecost

And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Acts 2:5 Who WERE the people who gathered in Jerusalem on the Feast of Shavuot, also known as Day of Pentecost? We tend to think they were “Christians” from all over the Middle East. Did you know that, besides the Jews of the Southern kingdom, that there were also many members of the tribes from the Northern kingdom who came to Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Shavuot? And when all the members of all 12 tribes were gathered together in ONE ACCORD and in ONE PLACE….then the Holy Spirit was poured out in rushing wind and Holy fire! (Acts 2: 2-3) And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia…Acts 2:7,9 Here Peter speaks to the Southern Kingdom: But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words. Acts 2:14 Here, Peter speaks to the Northern Kingdom: Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know. Acts 2:22 Here, Peter speaks to the WHOLE house of Israel, all 12 tribes: Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Acts 2:36 Why was the spirit poured out in such demonstration of power? Could it be that it was because all 12 of the scattered tribes were GATHERED in ONE PLACE at ONE TIME….so that the Spirit of God could be poured out upon all of them? Could it be that this is also a prophetic foreshadowing of what God will do ONCE AGAIN in the last days, that He will pour out His spirit upon all flesh (Joel 2: 28-30)…when He gathers and unites all 12 tribes?
