I don’t know...what do you see? Acts 8,9,and 10 should give you the answer you are looking for.

Actually I was asking you personally. Read the two paragraphs in juxtaposition again, if you would, and tell us what they represent.

..i..don't..know..what you're..grasping..for :)

I will tell you this, not ALL the signs of the "day of the Lord" appeared at Pentecost. There were the "signs in the earth beneath" but not "wonders in the heaven above." There were the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, the tongues, and visions, and prophesying, but NOT the "'blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke,". Nor was the "sun turned into darkness and the moon into blood." Acts 2:17-20. Why? Because Israel was given the chance at Pentecost to turn to Christ and accept Him as Messiah. But the nation, as a whole did not. Why didn't God pour out His wrath on the nation at that point? The beginning of the propechy of Joel concerning the Last Days happened..the completion of his prophecy did not. Why not?
