What did Peter tell the house of Israel at Pentecost in Acts 2:36?
Peter declared that all the house of Israel should know assuredly that God had made that same Jesus whom they crucified both Lord and Christ. This Pentecost message was still directed to Israel, emphasizing their rejection and God's exaltation of Jesus as Lord and Christ.
Les teaches that Acts chapter 2 is still God dealing with Israel on the day of Pentecost. He points to verse 36, where Peter says, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made that same Jesus whom you crucified, Lord and Christ. Les stresses that Peter is dealing with Israel, and then he moves down to verse 42 to continue the account.
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
