outpouring of the Holy Spirit on a Global Scale -- "Acts 2:16-18 But this
is that which was spoken by the [O.T.] Prophet Joel (Joel 2:28-29); And
it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My
Spirit upon all [global] flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, and your young [unlearned] men shall see visions, and your
old men shall dream dreams: And on My [common] servants and on My
[common] handmaidens I will pour out in those days of My Spirit; and
they shall prophesy:" -- "Romans 10:16-18 But they [people] have not
all obeyed the Gospel. For Esaias [Isaiah] saith, Lord, who hath
believed our report? **So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by
the Word of God. ***But I say, Have they not heard? ***Yes verily, their
sound [the Gospel via the Holy Ghost] went into ***all the earth, and
their words unto the ends of the world."
"Acts 10:6-20 He [Apostle Peter] lodgeth [in hiding] with one Simon a tanner [a Levitically unclean occupation],
whose house is by the sea side: he [Apostle Peter] shall tell thee [Cornelius] what thou oughtest to do. And when
the angel which spake [through a vision - not directly] unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household
servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; And when he had declared all these things
unto them, he sent them to [the seaside city of] Joppa. On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh
unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop [roof] to pray about the sixth hour: And he became very hungry, and
would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into **a trance [generally a trance is considered a bad thing as
it is God shutting a person down momentarily so God can talk directly to a person w/o an (argumentative) reply
from the person, or worse a trance is a demon shutting a person down and hindering our freewill], And saw heaven
opened, and a certain vessel [tray] descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let
down to the earth: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted [unclean] beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and
creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. [the trance transitions
to a vision as Peter can now reply (argumentatively) to God] But Peter said [what God didn't want to hear], Not so,
Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common [lit. G2839 (koinos) i.e. Levitically unclean, common] {note:
Christianity by Levitical standards would be considered unclean (that is why so many still gravitate to and try to
follow Levitical Laws i.e. Tithe and Sabbath because there is an appearance of cleanliness) however the cleansing
blood of Jesus cleans all sins and it is our faith in the blood of Jesus that saves us and not any works of the Law (i.e.
tithes, works)} or unclean [G169 (akathartos) i.e. immoral, profane]. And the voice spake unto him again the second
time, What ***God hath [with the blood of Jesus] cleansed [lit. G2511 (katharizo) i.e. purified], that call not thou
common. This was done thrice [three times - Father, Son, Holy Spirit] {Peter argued with God three times}: and the
vessel [container of unclean animals] was received up again into heaven. Now while Peter doubted in himself what
this *vision which he had seen should mean {and it meant a lot because God started the vision by putting Peter in a
trance}, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry [asked directions] for [the tanner]
Simon's house, and stood before the gate, And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were
lodged there. While Peter thought on the vision, ***the [Holy] Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for ***I [Holy Spirit] have sent them
[Gentiles who would become the first (non-Jewish) Christians]." -- Note: The agency of spreading the Gospel
message [in a now clean world (note: how the world i.e. environmentalism always reiterates that the physical world
is in a sense clean, BUT then wrongly asserts that humans make the world unclean adding yet more bondage to our
already difficult human condition)] and of convicting [still spiritually unclean] mankind of sins (Romans 2:4) is the
exclusive domain of the Holy Spirit on earth. It is mankind that enters into the Temple of God [the body of Jesus
Christ] and then, once in the Temple of God, we participate in the Kingdom of God at the exclusive leading and
directing of God the Holy Spirit "for ***I [Holy Spirit] have sent them."
