My 1GOD Testimony

 

Like most people who were not raised in a churched family, I was clueless about the Bible, although I believed in God from childhood.

Not all ONES are created equal. -religiously speaking.

The Lord was drawing me in my late 20's and when a trauma event happened to me, I realized how messed up my life was and I reached out in prayer with all my heart to call upon Jesus, not really knowing if He would answer. 

In the months that followed, I was drawn to read the Bible and suddenly it seemed, I wanted to go to church.  So I called my mother to go with her to her sleepy little Baptist church and I began to attend faithfully.

I remember my Baptist "new convert" class. Another lady and myself sat there while the pastor explained the trinity doctrine to us and said "do you understand?" God is three persons.

We both nodded in ignorance.

2 years later I was introduced to the "Oneness" version and swallowed it hook, line, and sinker. Becoming an advocate for it and I was reading scripture for myself. "One God and He is Jesus."
I learned our view thoroughly and became a hard-nosed Pharisee in the process.

Knowing about God, knowing theology, and knowing religious observances can never take the place of knowing the Lord, and will often become a substitute for knowing God. This can be a lifelong process and God may reveal things to us that our church experience cannot.

So from trinitarian Baptist to Oneness (aka Modalist) Pentecostal/ non-denominational for 35 years. I was the guy that put tracts on the cars in other church parking lots, debated all comers. Zealous. Acts 2:38 or hell.
I followed the pulpit and the theology books and passing the District Board,  was ordained and on the path to the <professional> Ministry.

30+ years went by...we transitioned into a non-denominational, watered-down, luke warm assembly. Doctrine was not important.
But I still held to my Oneness theology, just not as dogmatic as before.

THE QUESTION:
Then one day a friend who had gone to a UPC church in Modesto, and read the Bible, asked me about John 20:17,    "does Jesus have a God?"

It was a stunning question and the moment that grabbed my attention.
I started looking at the scriptures and there were 14 places referenced for Jesus and "MY GOD".
How could this be!!??

𝐒𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰.
"Touch Me not, for I am not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them,
‘𝑰 𝒂𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝑴𝒚 𝑭𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑭𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝑴𝒚 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑮𝒐𝒅.’

The Lord began pointing out to me many many scriptures I had not seen with seeing eyes.
One example was in Acts 2:34-35
 "𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝑶𝑹𝑫 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒅...", which had always bothered me 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗜 𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁.
-that did not fit my theology.

As I pondered Jesus as a man, wrestling with my former thinking "Jesus is God!", I wanted Jesus to be God.
But as I began to see the man Jesus Christ from the gospels in a personal way, like the people that knew him and heard him did, the man I thought was GOD was a man. I wanted Jesus to be GOD.

The conflicts and 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓'𝐬???" were many.

How the Lord led me.
I did a Bible search for the words "I SAW" and saw for what the prophets saw IN HEAVEN and the throne. They said  "and I saw".

Reading every one of those passages with a desire to "see" what they "saw".
They all saw the Father, translated variously as "the LORD".  "Yahweh. aka Jehovah. "GOD ALMIGHTY". "LORD GOD" "HaShem".. depending on translations. ONE GOD alone.

The seers:
Moses, Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, Macaiah, John, Stephen. They all saw YeHoVaH GOD. Of whom it is written: The Father. GOD alone. "I AM HE". "I AM GOD". "ME". The jealous GOD.

The seers, prophets,  all saw One. The Creator. Glorious.
"He" was not the "son of God" and none saw Jesus with HIM.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 "𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓???  -you know the verses, I knew them too.
Even though I had been a Bible reader, and taught ACTS for many years,
𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐝 this 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 and
The Lord directed me to focus on Jesus 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 *𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝* 𝐛𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬, 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐬.
HOW SIMPLE!!
Just read what THEY PREACHED.

Boom.
 Jesus is THE MAIN subject of the preaching of the gospel after Jesus had departed to the Father!

How in the name of remnant Christianity could we have missed THAT?
𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐬!

I had NEVER heard anyone approach Acts to see what the preachers told the Jews, pagans, Samaritans, Greeks, Kings, High Priest and Sanhedrin who Jesus is.

So I compiled their "sermons" the major ones and the minor ones, and even where Jesus answered Saul's question "WHO ARE YOU LORD?"
When I read and re-read their words,
I saw who Jesus is. The simple truth as *they* preached Jesus in Acts.

The revelation that Peter received in Mat. 16:"18 was now mine.
It was there all the time but veiled.
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God".

So they preached Jesus Christ according to the "great commission":
"𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝑮𝒐𝒅" Acts 2:22,

- forgiveness of sins through that man. Acts 13:38.
- The man that died and who GOD raised from the dead.
- The man by whom God would judge the world. Acts 17:31
- "This same Jesus is whom they crucified, God has made both Lord and Christ".

THEY SAID THOSE things 𝐛𝐮𝐭 *𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫* 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐚 𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲, "deity of Christ", 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚 "𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐝"..
and once again we realized we were taught wrong by the churched majority.
We searched the scriptures and began to repent.
👉𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑭𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒔 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕, 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆, 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒍𝒊𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒕.
2Cor 11:31
.. and one by one, all the "WHAT ABOUTS'S!!??" were cleared up.

But there was a new dilemma. 
I did not know a single person that believed what I was seeing in scripture.
Later, God would bring them into my life.....

Speaking Of Tongues

 

About tongues, The Scripture for tongues, the foundation, early mention, Jesus referring to them, the disciples experiencing them in multiple places, Paul distinguishing their use in the assembly.

............................

Isaiah prophesied of a spiritual "rest" and tongues:

Isa. 28:11 by [men of] strange lips and with another tongue will he speak to this people;

12 to whom he said, This is the rest, give you rest to him that is weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

-Joel prophesied of the coming of the Spirit in Joel 2:28 Peter referred to Joel when he explained to a crowd what the believers had just experienced.

.........................

Jesus said it was a sign of "them that believe. Mark 16:18

.........................

When the Spirit came in Acts 2, ALL the disciples and apostles spoke in tongues.

When a crowd saw and heard the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2, Peter said "THIS IS THAT spoken by the prophet Joel, in Acts 2:17

......................

In Acts 10:44-48, the Jewish disciples knew the gentiles were converted and Spirit-filled "for they heard them speak with tongues.

((note: the gentiles there were of a family and friends, Romans. There was no crowd, nobody came to see what was happening like Acts 2.

Yet in Acts 11, Peter told the church at Jerusalem the gentiles received the Holy Spirit in "like manner" as the Jews on Pentecost.

........................

In Acts 19 a group of Ephesian proselytes of John the Baptist, to whom was preached that "He that comes after me... shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.."

This group of converts met Paul and Paul laid hands on them and the 12 men received Spirit baptism speaking in tongues and prophesying.

PRAYING IN TONGUES

I would point out that it is possible to learn other languages apart from God. I am bi-lingual having learned Spanish in my work life..

But when I pray and speak in tongues, it is not in Spanish. My prayer tongues is not understood by me as Paul said "when I pray in tongues my understanding is unfruitful".

1cor 14:2 For he that speaks in a tongue speaks not to men, but unto God; for no man understands; but in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also

The GIFT of tongues in the assembly:

Talking to a born-again assembly, not evangelizing the lost:

NOTE 1Cor 11:18 ====> For first of all, WHEN YOU COME TOGETHER IN THE CHURCH,<===== I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it............

SEE THE CONTEXT???

now we understand better what he is saying to the established saints:

1cor 12: 1 Now CONCERNING SPIRITUAL GIFTS <in the church assembly!>,

I would not have you ignorant. "given THROUGH THE SPIRIT", is not a learned language.

For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:

9 to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;

10 and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:

11 but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.

There in 1Cor 12 is the GIFT OF HEALING< MIRACLES, TONGUES, INTERPRETATION, .... "WHEN YOU COME TOGETHER"

If a church is not manifesting the least of those they have fallen short of the common experience of believers in the Bible, and word "THAT YOU COME BEHIND IN **NO GIFT*** until the coming of the Lord".

Now we can understand the "administration" for those "good and perfect gifts coming down from the Father.." (perfect meaning mature in Christ).

SPIRITUAL GIFTS, as functioning together as a body.:

1Cor 12:27 Now ye are THE BODY of Christ, and severally members thereof.

28 And God has set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, [divers] kinds of tongues.

29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all [workers of] miracles?

30 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

31 ==> But desire earnestly the greater gifts. <====

AND DO NOT FORBID TO SPEAK IN TONGUES. (1Cor 14:28

They can be imitated and parroted, but when a person is Spirit-baptized or renewed, they will usually speak with other tongues.

*warning:

There are churches and pastors that deny them and speak against that which God has given. Others will relegate them to human languages only. This is quickly disproved and overcome by believing the words Paul wrote as we believe the apostles and not those that reject the Word. 

Jesus knew. "where the carcass is there the eagles are gathered"

 

the truth is simple.

"where the carcass is there the eagles are gathered":

-the eagle was an abomination in Moses Law. Lev 11:13

Roman army eagle standards were on their shields and also poles.

"upon the wing of abomination.." *Daniel 9:26 (other translations say "for the overspreading of abominations)

.............................

"where the carcass is"

In context, Jerusalem. the dead nation Israel.. DOA 70 AD. on the 9th of Av.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<

Mark 13:14 “But when you shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not be”

The desolation was the work of the Romans who destroyed the city and the temple.

Luke 13:35 Jesus prophesied: Behold, your house is left unto you desolate;

Luke 21:20 “And when you His disciples) shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is near. -The Romans encompassed Jerusalem for over 5 months.

The desolation was administered by Rome.

Titus was "the prince of the people that shall come . His father was Emperor Vespasian.

Dan 9:26 .....the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.

And the end thereof shall be with a flood,

and until the end of the war desolations are determined.

1GOD is Jesus The I AM speaking at the burning bush?

 

Was Jesus the "I AM" at the burning bush?

Jesus tells us who Moses spoke to in Exodus 3.

Exo 3:2  And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush.

Exo 3:13  Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”  And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”

 Luke 20:37 Now that the dead are raised,
even Moses showed at the bush when he called  the Lord
the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.’

38 For  

 HE is not a God of the dead, but of the living,

for all live unto Him.”

the "I AM" error on John 8:58 is settled by Jesus.

 "GOD", THE LORD", "HE" and "HIM" is not Jesus saying "ME"

The LORD told Moses in Exodus 3:14 tell them that I AM THAT I AM has sent you.
Jesus was not The LORD.

Here is Jesus saying "I AM.."
John 8:40 I AM A MAN who told you the truth which I heard FROM GOD"

just like Moses heard from God.

WHEN YOU SEE the Abomination of Desolation

 

Have you read and pondered?
“wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.” © rory moore 2024

A TWO FOR ONE REVELATION.
wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
And in Daniel 9:
 he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week;
 and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. And for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Having read many times the cryptic words of Jesus and trying to make sense of them by fitting various scenarios with His words, I admitted not being sure even when some "interpretations" seemed plausible. 

 The "pre-trib" rapure had appeal and there we would go, flying up like eagles while tribulation took place below..

👉Thanks to God, I will show you exactly who and what this is and how the Scofield-LaHaye-Missler-Left Behind  crowd had it wrong.

Let's simplify Jesus speaking in context to His disciples about the end time events after they asked about "when shall these be?" 

Mark 13:14  “But when you shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet,  standing where it ought not be” (let him that reads understand), “then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains.

To be clear, here is the prophecy:

Daniel 9:26-27

 "after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for Himself;
and the people of the prince who shall come
shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.

And the end thereof shall be with a flood, and until the end of the war  desolations are determined.

(“desolation(s)”:  to be desolated, be deflowered, be deserted, be appalled, be stunned,

appalling, causing horror, horror-causer, ruined)

:27

Then he  <Messiah the Prince>

shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;

But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.

<Messiah confirmed the Covenant <the promise and prophecy’s)  with the Jews/Israel for 7 years,  by the sacrifice of himself, ending the efficacy of the Jews sacrifices and offerings in the temple sanctuary in the city of Jerusalem.

-"the covenant" was confirmed in Acts 2 as Jesus poured out the Holy Spirit upon His disciples.
The 70th week:
In  this view consider His 3.5 year ministry and the 3.5 years after His resurrection through Acts 9 where "many" were saved.
"And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate"

Even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate."

The “consummation” was the end of Israel as a kingdom-nation of God, the Old Testament contract, and the prophecy's to Israel as a Covenant people, i.e. collectively known as the Jews. 

The nation, city, and temple were made “desolate”, laid waste, ruined, became a horror, in a stunning flood of Roman destruction under the authority of Prince Titus.

“on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate” -the Roman army standard was a brass eagle, wings outspread. -The eagle was in Moses' Law an unclean bird, Lev. 11:13 and God labeled the eagle in the scripture, as an abomination. With the power and authority of the Roman  “eagle” came, Prince Titus and destroyed the sanctuary and the city of Jerusalem in 70AD.   Now look at what Jesus said as it all comes to Light! Mt. 24:28 For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together. The “carcass” was the dead body of Israel where the Roman eagles (the image on their standards) were gathered.

 

Shall we confirm?  Leviticus 11:13  

BTW, 11 symbolizes  “disorder and judgement” * page 96, Biblical Mathematics, Ed Vallowe 1992
13 symbolizes rebellion and depravity.)

‘And these are they which ye shall hold in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey,

An amazing thing was prophesied:
Hosea 8:1 “Put the trumpet to your lips!

An eagle is over the house of the Lord because the people have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.

-and so it was, judgement and wrath fell upon them, 66-70Ad

Now do you see how far from truth is the "antichrist" guy in a building making a treaty with Israel and making himself God, and God turning to Jews after rapturing the church which was both "Jew and non-Jew" for 2,000 years?

See the series here regarding "Broken Paradigm" and the FAKE nation of them that say they are Jews but are not, called Israel.

Luke 14:33 "except you renounce all.."

you cannot be My disciple"..... the Lord will teach his disciples the truth..

ACTS FOR THE FACTS The Right Keys to God's House

 

"And I will give to thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. "

Have you ever tried to open a door using the wrong keys?

Jesus to Peter in Matthew 18:18 And I say also to thee, that
you are Peter,
and upon this rock I will build My congregation;
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give to thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.
And whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven, and whatsoever you shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.”

20 Then He charged His disciples that they should tell no man that He was Jesus the Christ.
(they would preach "Jesus is the Christ" AFTER they were Spirit baptized in Acts chapter 2, and THEN they would tell the world who Jesus is.

The KEYS WERE USED IN ACTS after Jesus ascended to HIS GOD AND FATHER.
Wrong keys:
None preached a trinity.
None preached Jesus is God.
None preached "accept Christ as personal savior".
None preached believe in Jesus and keep the law of Moses.

Many will miss entering in for using the wrong keys.
But it is easy to repent and believe the gospel they preached in Acts.

The true temple is the House of God, which is not a building. The apostles laid the foundation in ACTS. Those are the unassailable FACTS.

SUMMARY:

The Door:
John 10:9 𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒐𝒓; 𝒃𝒚 𝑴𝒆 𝒊𝒇 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏, 𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒅, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

The keys to the faith and kingdom:
: 𝙄 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙚𝙮𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣.

Peter preached the true Christ Jesus in Acts to the Jews and in Acts 10 to the gentiles, thus opening the door.

: AFTER receiving the Spirit,  Peter preached and the keys were in his words.
To the Jews first, Acts 2,3,4,5. And to the first gentiles, Acts 10.

Everything else is a house built on sand.

𝑮𝒐𝒅'𝒔 𝑯𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒄𝒌: 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝑯𝑹𝑰𝑺𝑻, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑮𝒐𝒅.

The foundation of the temple "not made by hands":
Eph 2:20-21
𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒔, 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒔 𝑯𝒊𝒎𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒆,
in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord. NASB95

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Addendum:  Here is the text of Peter's Words to the Jews in Jerusalem, Who Jesus is, and what to do with that knowledge.  
Whereas it should be a model for gospel preaching, it is actually ignored, replaced by false ideas, and the central message even argued against!

22 “Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man approved of God among you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did through Him in the midst of you, as you yourselves also know —
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate will and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain.
24 But God hath raised Him up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
25 For David speaks concerning Him: ‘I beheld the Lord always before my face, for He is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope,
27 because Thou <GOD> wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt Thou suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption.
28 Thou has made known to me the ways of life;
Thou shalt make me full of joy with Thy countenance.’
29 “Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day.
30 Therefore, being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn an oath to him that from the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh He would raise up Christ to sit on his throne,

31 David, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of Christ that ‘His soul was not left in hell, neither did His flesh see corruption.’
32 This Jesus has God raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
33 Therefore, being exalted by the right hand of God,
 and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, He hath shed forth this which ye now see and hear.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens, but he himself said,
 ‘The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit Thou on My right hand
35 until I make Thy foes Thy footstool.”’
 36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”

38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
