A Gathered People
The Messiah enthroned, the new temple dedicated, and now God was ready to gather his dispersed people back to himself. The Day of Pentecost was the perfect day for the Shepherd to gather his scattered sheep, because Jerusalem was filled with representatives of the entire Jewish Diaspora. This scene was not only a fulfillment of many prophecies but also serves as a foreshadow of the Day of gathering that is to come. (Scripture: Acts 2:5-8)
