Excerpt from Our Lord: Belief in the Deity of ChristWe see these declarations fully developed immediately after the close of the earthly life of Jesus, in the congregation believing on him. We have a sketch of the first Pente costal sermon by Peter, the drift of which for practical religious purpose is to put di rectly the Lord Christ in place of God, the Lord. In the miraculous outpouring of the Spirit which came upon the assembled disci ples, Peter saw the fulfillment of God's prophecy by the prophet Joel (acts 2. 16 sqq., Joel 3. 1 I will pour out my Spirit upon all ¿esh. Since the prophets had held out these prospects for the last days, the last days had now begun: the great and notable day of the Lord was imminent and with it the downfall of the universe. Whoever wished to be saved must cling to God himself and thus fulfill the prophecy which the prophet gives: Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Who is this Lord? As a matter of course the prophet thought of the Lord of heaven and earth, of the everlasting rock upon which alone one could stand when every thing else shook, for he wrote literally Whosoever shall invoke the name Jahveh.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
