Promise of God lay in the prophesy of Joel, which covered all flesh, "But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;/And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh'(Ac.2:16-17) This was a continual process and the ministry of Jesus began from the great light sprung up and lit over the people under the shadow of death. 'My Spirit upon all flesh required 'the little ones' whose childlike trust prepared them to share the kingdom building. Jesus demonstrated the kingdom of heaven coming on earth and the Spirit gives us a concrete imagery in 'keys of the kingdom' and whatsoever the disciples exercised faith and bound over as in the case of Elymas the sorcerer it was bound in heaven as well. The case of Paul and Barnabas was a proof to the significance of 'my Spirit upon all flesh'.
Without abiding in Christ and seeing the light by the true Light Simon Peter could have erred. Jesus was there to perfect the will of His Father and empower all believers as associates of Jesus Christ in kingdom-building.Simon Peter's concern arose from selfish reasons but the coming passion,-suffering and death on the cross covered all flesh. To stand athwart the predetermined will or to disobey it, was what Satan would have made a case for. Jesus calls Peter, "Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me./ For thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men."
Jesus admonishes his disciple the doctrine of Christ which remained to be fulfilled in him. "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."(5:17). His death and resurrection was bound up with it.
vv.25-28 "There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death," referred to the day of Pentecost. (Ac.2)
