Signs on the Earth
The prophecy in the book of Joel sets the tone for Acts, including the signs and wonders that accompany the gospel – Acts 2:17-21. Jesus told the disciples to “ tarry in Jerusalem ” UNTIL they receive the Spirit, then to proclaim the “ kingdom of God ” in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria, and the “ uttermost parts of the earth .” The book of Acts records how the early church carried out this mission under the power of the Spirit.
