#168: What is Pentecost all about?

About this episode

This episode explores the significance of Pentecost and its connections to the creation narratives in Genesis.

In Acts 2, we read about Pentecost, which is the event when the Holy Spirit descended upon the church. To understand the full significance of this event, Matt takes listeners back to the creation narratives of Genesis. In doing so, he shows how Pentecost relates to the Bible's teaching on protology and eschatology. +++ Pre-order Matt’s newest book: Sightings and Secrets: UFOs, Eyewitness Testimonies, and How Christians Can Make Sense of the Unknown: https://a.co/d/0eD0cGtz Support The Bible (Unmuted) via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheBibleUnmuted Matthew's blog: https://matthewhalsted.substack.com Don't forget to subscribe to The Bible (Unmuted)!
