Eternity's time has come.
"When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and begin to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. ... Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed to them, ... "This is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: 'It will come to pass in the last days, ' God says, 'that I will pour out a portion of my spirit upon all flesh." (Acts 2:1,4, 14, 16-7)
It was the mysterium tremendum et fascinans - the Mystery tremendous and fascinating:
An explosion of endless energy.
Signs and wonders.
Power and Glory.
The birthing of the WAY that is TRUTH and LIFE.
It was a never-ending Event:
The descent of a divine Force. A Personal Force. A Person present as a "force."
The God-Force.
Those who were "touched" by the Force
spoke in "tongues,"
prophesied,
journeyed to distant lands and certain deaths,
proclaimed a New World born in our midst.
These carriers "downloaded" the Force across societies and geographies and centuries.
The Force assumed myriad forms and flowed through diverse channels.
The Force unified history with its own Livestream platform.
The Force was with God.
And the Force was God.
And the Force made its dwelling in humankind as the Holy Spirit.
