Welcome to the NECKED Bible Podcast.

Episode 40, our very first question and answer episode.

I'm your resident, Shalaman, Trace Trichland, and he's the scholar, Dr. Michael Heiser.

Hey Mike, how are you doing?

I'm doing pretty good, I'm excited for our first experimental Q&A episode.

Yeah, we'll just have to see how it goes and hopefully it'll encourage people to ask questions.

Absolutely. Well, do you just want to jump into, we've got a whopping four questions here.

Yeah, go ahead and give me the questions.

So question number one is referencing episode 37, and it's by Robert, and he wants you to go into detail about the meaning of Acts 2 verse 4.

Quote, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.

He wants to know who is the speaker referencing when it says, and they were all filled.

Could this be a reference to only the 12 apostles?

Also, were they speaking in tongues?

With the wind at the time of the giving of the Holy Spirit, everyone was inside.

Did they come outside and start preaching in tongues, etc.

So maybe you can elaborate for Robert.

Well, I mean, generally, a generalization would be filling with, to being filled with the Spirit

as sort of being both empowered, and I would also define it as being submitted to God's will.

Now, in the context of Acts 2, I think the first of those is really more of what's in view.
