The Impact of a NEW World Universal Auxiliary Language to be established in the world SOON! Pt 2
In Acts 2;1-11 we read; “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were ALL with ONE accord in ONE place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled ALL the house where they were sitting.” Notice that on the BIRTH of the Church of God (the Day of Pentecost) in Jerusalem ALL of the members were there as being instructed by Christ waiting for the “comforter” (the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD) to come and to be poured upon the whole congregation! This will mark the beginning of a NEW birth in the lives of those 1st Century believers and Christians who would be used by God mightily to do a MIGHTY and POWERFUL work for Him through His SPIRIT! Because they were to be filled with “power from on HIGH!”
POWER Greater Than the Energy of Wind
Notice that a sound as of a “mighty” RUSHING WIND came in the house where they were ALL sitting in Acts 2;2. Jesus had explained this further to Nicodemus earlier before His crucifixion and death; “The wind bloweth were it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth; so is everyone that is born (or begotten) of the Spirit” (John 3;8). You cannot see wind. Wind is compared to spirit. It is INVISIBLE. That’s why mortal FLESH, as we now are, cannot SEE the Kingdom of God. Those who inherit it will be spirit and will normally be invisible to eyes still human.
Jesus was comparing also the POWER of the Holy Spirit to that of wind. A scientist of the US Weather Bureau, Dr. J. Murray Mitchell, Jr., Research Climatologist, said that the energy of one average hurricane (like CAT 1 Hurricane ERNESTO which is causing havoc and disasters right now in the Atlantic and the Caribbean) is much greater than an A-bomb such as the one who destroyed Hiroshima. That was also the kind of energy which had caused the imprint of Christ’s body on the shroud of Turin. There is another passage, understood by almost none, that really reveals our astonishing transcendent potential as SPIRIT BORN children of God!
It begins in Hebrews 2, verse 6. But first, notice this about Christ, in chapter 1;

“God...hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son (Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit), whom He hath appointed heir of ALL things [Moffat and others, the universe], by whom also He made the worlds; who, being the brightness of His glory, [Moffat] stamped with God’s own character and upholding [sustaining] the universe by the word of His power...” (Heb. 1;1-3). ALL POWER, in heaven and earth (Matt. 28;18) has been given to Christ. He is now Chief Executive of God’s Government of the UNIVERSE.
Continuing now in the Acts 2 account; verses 3-11; “And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire (Please recall that God is a consuming FIRE! See Heb. 12;29.), and it sat upon each of them. And they were ALL filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues (or languages), as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were ALL amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold are not all these which speak Galileans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea (Today’s State of Israel), and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.”
Christ explains the IMPORTANCE of Being in “ONE ACCORD” and in “ONE MIND” through the UNITY of the SAME SPIRIT!
This is what He said to Philip in John 14;10-26; “Believest thou not that I AM in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself; but the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works. Believe me that I AM in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these (which He has done) shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask (Him in prayer) in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask ANYTHING in my name, I will do it. If ye love me keep my commandments (The Ten Commandments). And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter (His Holy Spirit), that He may abide with you FOREVER; Even the Spirit of truth (the PLAIN and SIMPLE TRUTH); whom the world cannot receive (now), because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him; but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you (during the Feast of Pentecost). I will not leave you comfortless! I will come to you (through the in-dwelling of His Spirit in us!). Yet a little while (after His crucifixion would take place), and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me (working in you); because I (will) live in you, ye shall live also. At that day (the day of Pentecost) ye shall know that I AM in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He (or she) that hath (obeyed) my commandments, and keepeth them, he (or she) it is that loveth me, and he (or she) that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him (or her), and will manifest myself to him (or her). Judas saith unto Him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will ’keep my words (my commandments) and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him (in the form of the Holy Spirit), and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings (again His commandments) and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you ALL THINGS, and bring ALL THINGS to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” So there won’t be any type of Dementia nor Alzheimer decease in us who are Christ’s because Paul told Timothy the following; “For God hath not given us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 1 Tim. 1;7.
