Bible Verses About The Emblems of the Holy Spirit

And he said, "The Kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

Nights he sleeps, days he's awake; and meanwhile the seeds sprout and grow -- how, he doesn't know.

By itself the soil produces a crop -- first the stalk, then the head, and finally the full grain in the head.

When they heard this sound, a crowd gathered; they were confused, because each one heard the believers speaking in his own language.

Totally amazed, they asked, “How is this possible? Aren’t all these people who are speaking from the Galil?

How is it that we hear them speaking in our native languages?

We are Parthians, Medes, Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Y’hudah, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,

Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome;

Jews by birth and proselytes; Jews from Crete and from Arabia. . . ! How is it that we hear them speaking in our own languages about the great things God has done?”

Therefore, as the Ruach HaKodesh says, “Today, if you hear God’s voice,

don’t harden your hearts, as you did in the Bitter Quarrel on that day in the Wilderness when you put God to the test.

Yes, your fathers put me to the test; they challenged me, and they saw my work for forty years!

Therefore, I was disgusted with that generation — I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, they have not understood how I do things’;

in my anger, I swore that they would not enter my rest.”
