This chapter makes reference to the spiritual unity that Christians maintained in the upper room, it is important to emphasize that spiritual unity does not automatically come to believers, we have to fight and persist in it, above all we must ensure that the glory of God surpasses our personal goals and ambitions. This was the Spirit that prevailed in the upper room. Nothing interested these followers of Jesus more than obeying the instructions they had received from their teacher.
That is why, here, we see the fullness of the Holy Spirit. The first signal in the upper room on the day of Pentecost was audible, it is most likely that it was not a natural wind, but without a doubt this word is the one that best describes the phenomenon for human understanding. It was nothing less than "a strong wind that blew". Some translators suggest that it was a violent and tempestuous explosion.
There was no doubt about the origin or origin of the strong wind that blew. He could not come from another side but from heaven. Luke makes the observation that this wind filled the whole house where they were sitting. This, because it implies that the event was taking place in a room, not in the national center of worship (the temple). the men and women who were in that place would never be as they were before this event.
The second sign was visible, that divine fire was divided into small flames that looked like tongues like fire, which rested on the heads of those who were gathered there. These supernatural manifestations confirmed a fact: The coming of the Holy Spirit of God.
