The Coming of the Holy Spirit (2:1-4).

It must be recognised what Pentecost was. It was not the day of the crowning of the King. That had already taken place in Heaven (Matthew 28:18; Mark 16:19; Daniel 7:13-14). It was the day when His crowning was publicly declared to earth in His coming to dwell in His people so as to establish the Kingly Rule of God throughout the earth. It was the day when God entered His people forming them as a new creation, making them one in the spiritual body of Christ, sealing them as representative of His whole people. God entered them. What more need we say?
