IMPORTANT EVENTS PREFIGURED
desire to point out further to lead in accord
ance with the Word of Cod
Was the coming of Christ foretod in prophecy? Was
it foreshadowed by types? Was the exact day of His cruel
xon foretod by the sacrifice of the Paschal lamb? was
His resurrection on the first day of the week foreod Was
Pentecost foretold?
PENTECosT FIXED. IT'S EVENTS NOT BE REPEATED
Pentecost came fifty days after the Resurrection 1t
came because God had fixed in His pan and desire TO
point out to you that you would just well pray for the
crcfon of Christ to be repeated as to pray Tor Pentecos
in all of it's details to be repeated Penecost can no more
be repeated as epocha event than could the crucxon
of Christ.

should have to howl every day for six months for the Holy

the Holy Spirit them that ask Him than are earthly par
ents to give good gifts to their children?
The Holy Spirit is here.

is.-John 1879:
n the last day. that great day of the FEAST Jesus stood
and cried saying If any thirst let him come unto Me-
and drink.
e that believeth on Me- as the scripture hath said
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
"(But this spake He of the Spirit which they that be-
Heve Him should receive for the Holy Ghost was not

Notice that statement "For the Holy Ghost not
yet given Had Christ been baptized in the Holy Sprt
yet Jesus Christ said afterward that the Holy Spirit was
not yet given because Jesus not yet glorltled
The Holy Ghost could until Jesus had assembled
to His Father.
Some people make great TODD about tarrying in the
upper room" for ten days. They say "Now, you
ought to tarry ten days. WE'LL there is absolutely no

desire to emphasize great many things to you, and
to have you listen closely because it necessary to repeat
this teaching and over.
COPS PROMISE FULFILLED
On the Day of Pentecos God fulfilled the promise that
He would send the Holy Ghost His coming of the
rushing of mighty wind. His coming accompanied
