“Repent and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things.”  (Acts 3:19-21)

By Periods I mean Time Periods, those periods of time characterized by certain events or cultural, political, economic and religious things. History is broken up into different periods of time known by what characterized them: Dark Ages (500-1500), Reformation (1517-1648), Revolution (1775-1848), etc.

The Bible talks about the sons of Issachar (one of the tribes of Israel) “who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.” (1Chron.12:32) This is talking about the period of time when Israel had chosen a king and Saul ruled, but God had chosen a different king named David. When Saul was killed in battle, the tribe of Issachar read the signs of the time and they went to join forces with David and make him their new king. They saw the time, the period, they were living in and they adjusted their lives to that. They brought their weapons and wealth to David and made him their new king.

These believers in Acts were living in the times of refreshing from the presence of the Spirit, and they knew it. We are living in the same Time Period. Please know that and see the importance of this period of time so you can act accordingly by the power of God and do what God has called us to do in this period. This is the period when we should experience the presence of God and do the works of God like believers couldn’t do in any other period.

Revelation 19:10 says, “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy,” which means the essence of Bible prophecy is primarily a testimony or witness to Jesus. Prophecy is about Jesus. There are two primary things about Christ and it is His coming. Christ’s comings is Bible prophecy. It was very confusing to those who lived during Bible times because they didn’t see clearly that Christ would be coming to the earth TWICE: once to suffer and the other to reign, once to redeem people and another to restore the earth to its original position in Eden for those redeemed people to live and reign with Christ....

“Take heed and beware the teaching of the Pharisees.” (Matthew 16:6,12)

Imagine a flashing CAUTION sign on the highway. Take heed literally means to stare at or to attend to. Beware means to devote thought and effort to. The Bible doesn’t employ things we do to emphasize things. We underline or highlight. To give prominence to something written the Bible authors use repetition, especially repetition using synonyms. Jesus does this here: take heed and beware. This is a great emphasis in Jesus’ teaching. He said it several times. What are we to take heed to and beware of? Whatever it is, it is important.

What the Pharisees teach is important. It says Jesus came in the fullness of time and part of that fullness of time was when the Pharisees were around. There never was a time in the history of Israel when Jesus could have pointed at one group of people and said, “If you want to know what God is NOT like, look at the Pharisees! God is not like them.” And their behavior came from their beliefs, what they did came from what they taught. Jesus said, “Beware the teaching of the Pharisees.”

This message seems to be out of place in this series on the book of Acts. We don’t encounter the Pharisees until Acts 4 where it talks about the Sadducees, scribes and priests. These people were all part of a huge religious system that taught the same thing about God and “the traditions of the elders.” But I’m bringing them up here because by this time in our study of Acts we are sure to have some who disagree with what I say in these early chapters of Acts.

Disagreements are normal. Christians sometimes disagree. People will disagree. That’s not all bad. It’s like the old saying, “If everyone is thinking alike, somebody is not necessary.” The Bible says, “Iron sharpens iron.” We can learn from each other, unless you think you already know it all, then you can’t learn anything.

We must never let differences divide us. Differences don’t actually divide people. According to Galatians 5:19-21 the flesh divides people. “The works of the flesh are hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions…” The fruit of the Spirit is love and that covers a multitude of differences. Agreeing to disagree is vital to any relationship: marriage, parenting, living in church.

This is why churches need a “Statement of Faith” that gives the essentials of what they believe. It should be printed in every bulletin along with this: “In Essentials we have Unity, in Non-essentials we have Liberty, in Everything we have Love.” It’s not that this will stop divisions. Some will have their own scruples and beliefs that cannot keep from dividing because they are intolerant of differences.

“Earnestly desire spiritual gifts.”   (1Corinthians 14:1)

This is a series examining the book of Acts. We believe in the last days that God has and will pour out His Spirit in mighty waves of power that will make disciples of all nations and bring a harvest of souls unlike anything in all of history. God has given us a blueprint of what the Spirit-filled church should be like. The Bible is a book of precedents and Acts is the precedent for the church in the last days. This is especially relevant and critical for such a time as this, such a time as we are living in right now.
