REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Two - A First-Century Plague

 There was a fulfillment of Joel chapter 2 in the first century. It was then, at Pentecost 33 C.E., that holy spirit was poured out anointing the first Christians and empowering them to speak  "the magnificent  tings of God" in many tongues. As a result, a large crowd assembled. The apostle Peter addressed those astonished onlookers, quoting Joel 2:28, 29 and explaining that they were witnessing  its fulfillment.  (Acts 2:1-21)  But there is no record of a literal insect plague at that time, causing discomfort to some and leading others to repentance.
