  • Jerry M. Leonard on Acts 2 - 11 years ago
    To give people that read this comment my understanding on the two comments what I have written about Acts 2:38. We 'll start with the Jews of Israel going into captivity up in Babylon in 606 B.C. and after 70 years their return to Israel. I don 't think it was but about 40,000 Jews returned to Israel. Leaving no telling how many thousands stayed in Babylon because after 70 years they begin to like it there. So after 600 years to the day of Pentecost just how many Jews do you think wound up in France, England, Spain and over the world after 600 years? How many of those Jews do you think did not go back to Israel for the Pentecost Feast? Then after 600 years in a foreign country you don 't think these Jews did not learn their country 's language. There were no Gentiles there believe me they hated each like cats and dogs. If there was one there he may be a proselyte converted over to Judaism. So when Peter preached on the day of Pentecost in Hebrew all those Jews from other countries heard him in their language. I think you can figure the rest for yourself.
