Acts 1–4 Explained: What Most Bible Teachers Miss

Book 17 This in-depth verse-by-verse Bible study walks through Acts chapters 1–4 across 12 programs, uncovering the prophetic and theological depth most Bible studies skip entirely. Every passage is examined in its full context — from the Old Testament promises to Israel all the way through the early church's explosive beginning at Pentecost. Les opens with Acts 1:6 — "Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" — and uses it as a launching point to explain why the Kingdom was postponed, what the disciples actually understood, and how God's prophetic program for Israel was interrupted. This teaching cross-references Isaiah 2, Isaiah 9, Ezekiel 37, Daniel's stone kingdom, Zechariah 14, Psalm 2, Matthew 19:28, Matthew 24, Mark 16, Luke 4, 1 Corinthians 15:51, Galatians 1:4, Ephesians 1 and 5, 1 Peter 1, and 2 Peter 3 — all to show why God's program for Israel was interrupted and what that means for us today. You'll also see how Joseph and Moses serve as powerful types of Christ's two comings, and why Peter's message at Pentecost was directed exclusively to the nation of Israel. 📖 Key topics covered in this study: • Acts 1:6 — "Will You restore the Kingdom to Israel?" explained • Why the Church and the Rapture are NOT found in the Gospels • Acts 2:38 vs. Acts 16:31 — Repent and be baptized vs. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ • The Day of Pentecost — what actually happened and what Joel's prophecy still awaits • Joseph, Moses, and the typology of Christ's two comings • Matthias chosen to replace Judas — Acts 1:15-26 • The lame man healed at the Beautiful Gate — Acts 3:1-6 • Acts 4:12 — "Neither is there salvation in any other name" • The Sadducees arrest Peter and John — Acts 4:1-3 • Acts 4:11 — Jesus the Chief Cornerstone rejected by Israel • Cornelius receives the Spirit before baptism — Acts 10 • Ephesians 1 — Sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise 📖 Visit our website: www.lesfeldickbiblestudy.com If this study blessed you, please LIKE the video and SHARE it with someone who needs to hear this teaching. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:03:00 Program 1: Acts 1:1-6 — Kingdom Restored to Israel? 00:12:00 Acts 1:6 — Disciples Expected a Literal Kingdom 00:18:00 Old Testament Kingdom Promises — Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel 00:24:00 Zechariah 14 — Mount of Olives and the Second Coming 00:30:00 Daniel's Stone Kingdom — Not Cut by Human Hands 00:36:00 Matthew 19:28 — Twelve Thrones, Twelve Tribes 00:42:00 Acts 1:7-8 — Not for You to Know the Times 00:48:00 Acts 1:9-11 — The Ascension and Two Angels 00:54:00 Joseph as a Type of Christ's Two Comings 01:00:00 Moses as a Type — Rejected, Then Accepted 01:06:00 Program 2: Acts 1:15-26 — Matthias Chosen 01:12:00 Judas's Betrayal — Psalm 69 and Psalm 109 01:18:00 Acts 1:21-22 — Witness of the Resurrection 01:24:00 Acts 2:1-4 — The Day of Pentecost Arrives 01:30:00 Tongues of Fire — What Actually Happened 01:36:00 Joel 2 — Peter Quotes the Prophet 01:42:00 Acts 2:22-24 — Determinate Counsel and Foreknowledge 01:48:00 Acts 2:25-28 — Psalm 16: Thou Wilt Not Leave My Soul 01:54:00 Program 3: Acts 2:29-36 — David's Tomb Still Here 02:00:00 Acts 2:36 — God Made Him Both Lord and Christ 02:06:00 Acts 2:38 — Repent and Be Baptized Explained 02:12:00 Acts 2:38 vs. Acts 16:31 — Two Different Programs 02:18:00 Program 4: Pentecost in Prophecy — Joel 2 Revisited 02:24:00 Why Pentecost Was Not the Full Fulfillment of Joel 02:30:00 Ezekiel 37 — Valley of Dry Bones and Israel's Future 02:36:00 Isaiah 2 — The Mountain of the Lord's House 02:42:00 Galatians 1:4 — Delivered from This Present Evil Age 02:48:00 1 Corinthians 15:51 — The Rapture Explained 02:54:00 Program 5: Acts 2:38 — Baptism and the Holy Spirit 03:00:00 Acts 16 — The Philippian Jailer: Believe and Be Saved 03:06:00 Acts 10 — Cornelius: Spirit Before Baptism 03:12:00 Ephesians 1 — Sealed with the Holy Spirit 03:18:00 Program 6: Acts 2:41-47 — Three Thousand Saved 03:24:00 All Things Common — Early Church Community 03:30:00 Acts 2:46-47 — Daily in the Temple 03:36:00 What Is the Church? — Ecclesia Explained 03:42:00 1 Corinthians 12 — Body of Christ 03:48:00 Ephesians 1:22-23 — Christ the Head 03:54:00 Ephesians 5 — Husbands, Wives, and the Body 04:00:00 Program 7: Acts 3:1-6 — Lame Man Healed 04:06:00 Acts 3:12-16 — Peter's Address to Israel 04:12:00 Acts 3:17 — Through Ignorance You Killed the Messiah 04:18:00 1 Corinthians 2:8 — None of the Princes Knew 04:24:00 Acts 3:18-22 — Times of Refreshing 04:30:00 Program 8: Acts 3 Closes, Acts 4 Begins 04:36:00 Acts 3:26 — God Raised His Son to Bless Israel 04:42:00 Israel's Missed Opportunity for the Kingdom 04:48:00 Acts 4:1-3 — Sadducees Arrest Peter and John 04:54:00 Acts 4:8-10 — Peter Answers the Council 05:00:00 Acts 4:11 — Jesus the Chief Cornerstone 05:06:00 Acts 4:12 — No Other Name Under Heaven 05:12:00 Acts 4:13 — Boldness of Unlearned Men 05:18:00 Acts 4:18-20 — We Cannot But Speak 05:28:00 Acts 4:21 — Threatened and Released 05:41:00 Closing
