How Holy Spirit was rejected.
Acts 21:11, Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘In this way the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’”
This should be a question that we should ask, what will the Jewish leader will tie and hand it over to the gentiles. Who is the owner of the belt?
Paul is the owner of the belt and that may mean that the Jews in Jerusalem will kill Paul and the other disciples. When they kill and destroy all of them then No one will do the distribution of Holy Spirit just like the Disciples did.
Holy Spirit itself says that, in this way the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’”
What were Paul and the other disciple doing? Actually, Paul was distributing the spirit of God to the people. Pauls was doing the work because he himself got the spirit of God and he Distribute them including the other disciples.
However, God was with the Israel people and also, Jesus come down and did his work in Israel. And then, what is it that will be handed over to the gentiles?
Holy Spirit itself said all this things right after the death of Jesus Christ and also after the day of Pentecost
God was with the Israel and He gave Jesus to them to unite all of use and then Jesus went up to God and asks God to send Holy Spirit in his name and Holy Spirit came down first in Israel.
However, most of them did not believe in Jesus and what was given by God was rejected. Therefore, they reject Jesus even after death and they reject Holy Spirit as well by killing the ones that distribute Holy Spirit especially the Apostles. Just because they already know God. They think that all the things Jesus did and also the disciples did was not true.
It confirmed it here,
Acts 13:46,[SUP]46 [/SUP]Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.
Isaiah 63:10, Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he himself fought against them.
But the question is where Holy Spirit is now? And where is the Work of the Holy Spirit Now? It’s in God’s hands. We need to find it because with the baptism of Holy Spirit we cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Acts 8:16-19, [SUP]14 [/SUP]the apostles in Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria had accepted the word of God. So they sent Peter and John to the people in Samaria. [SUP]15 [/SUP]When Peter and John arrived, they prayed for the Samaritan believers to receive the Holy Spirit. [SUP]16 [/SUP]These people had been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, but the Holy Spirit had not yet come down on any of them. This is why Peter and John prayed. [SUP]17 [/SUP]When the two apostles laid their hands on the people, they received the Holy Spirit.
The bible says that in line 14, “people of Samaria accepted the word of God” just like you and me when we accepted the word of Christ in the beginning when we first become Christians.
And they “baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, but the Holy Spirit had not yet come down on any of the”
And then it says that “they send Peter and John”- Why do they have to send peter and John?
“Peter and john prayed for the Samaritan believer”- they accepted word Jesus Christ and they believed Just like you and me.
And then it says that, “these people had been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, but the Holy Spirit had not yet come down on any of them”.
If Jesus promises to send Holy Spirit to us then they should already have Holy Spirit and they do not need peter and John to put their hand on them to pray for them in order to receive Holy Spirit because they accepted the word of God and they also believe and Holy Spirit should automatically went to them. How is possible that peter and John have to go and pray for them.
It continues line 17, “When the two apostles laid their hands on the people, they received the Holy Spirit”.
Romans 11:14, [SUP]14 [/SUP]in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy[SUP] and[/SUP] save[SUP] some[/SUP] of them.
