He was speaking face to face with disciples
He lifted up His hands and blessed them
Began to lift off of ground
A cloud received Him
Many believe it was the Old Testament saints taken up from Paradise to heaven (the cloud)
Two men in white suddenly appear and say “Why gaze you...”
Ministry of Holy Spirit delayed 10 days after Jesus left
Jesus had to sit down at right hand of the Father and take His rest
Disciples were not acting wisely trying to fill Judas place by natural means (casting lots)
Disciples had not been told anything of this or anything to do
Only told “TO WAIT”
Leviticus 23:15-22 ...from day after Sabbath - Feast of weeks - 7 Sabbaths complete - 50 days - new grain offering
So important is the sacrificial offering of Christ in the sight of God that he is still represented as being in the very act of pouring out His blood for the
offenses of man. Revelation 5:6
