Prompt – Where in the Old Testament is the Holy Spirit cited? Quote the verses based on the NRSV. [See below for the same verses from the ASV.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Holy Spirit is referenced several times in the Old Testament, often with terms like “Spirit of God” or “Spirit of the LORD.” Here are a few key examples from the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.” “Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and took some of the spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders; and when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did not do so again.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel; he went out to war, and the LORD gave King Cushan-rishathaim of Aram into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-rishathaim.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “When they were going from there to Gibeah, a band of prophets met him; and the spirit of God possessed him, and he fell into a prophetic frenzy along with them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your holy spirit from me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The spirit of the LORD shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Isaiah 59:21<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “And as for me, this is my covenant with them, says the Lord: my spirit that is upon you, and my words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouths of your children, or out of the mouths of your children’s children, says the Lord, from now on and forever.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n These references highlight the Holy Spirit\u2019s role in creation, empowerment, prophecy, and the anointing of leaders. Let me know if you’d like more examples!<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The spirit of the LORD speaks through me; his word is upon my tongue.” “And when he spoke to me, a spirit entered into me and set me on my feet; and I heard him speaking to me.” “I will put my spirit within you, and make you follow my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances.” “Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations.” “But as for me, I am filled with power, with the spirit of the LORD, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.” “You gave your good spirit to instruct them, and did not withhold your manna from their mouths, and gave them water for their thirst.” “According to the promise that I made you when you came out of Egypt. My spirit abides among you; do not fear.” “But they rebelled and grieved his holy spirit; therefore he became their enemy; he himself fought against them. Then they remembered the days of old, of Moses his servant. Where is the one who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is the one who put within them his holy spirit?” “I will put my spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken and will act, says the LORD.” These additional examples further demonstrate the Holy Spirit’s role in empowering leaders, giving life, enabling prophecy, instructing Israel, and bringing justice and restoration. Let me know if you’d like further insights on any of these passages!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is the list of verses citing the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament, now using the American Standard Version (ASV):<\/p>\n\n\n\n “And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “And Jehovah<\/strong> came down in the cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders: and it came to pass that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “And the Spirit of Jehovah<\/strong> came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Jehovah <\/strong>delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “And when they came thither to Gibeah, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy Spirit from me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “And the Spirit of Jehovah<\/strong> shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Isaiah 59:21<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n “And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith Jehovah: my Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed\u2019s seed, saith Jehovah, from henceforth and forever.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah<\/strong> hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The Spirit of Jehovah<\/strong> spake by me, And his word was upon my tongue.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “And the Spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spake unto me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep mine ordinances, and do them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah<\/strong>, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Thou gavest also thy good Spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, and my Spirit abode among you: fear ye not.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them. Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit in the midst of them?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “And I will put my Spirit within you<\/strong>, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it and performed it, saith Jehovah<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n These ASV quotations capture the Holy Spirit’s role in empowerment, prophecy, transformation, and divine guidance, echoing themes seen throughout the Old Testament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The New Testament contains several references to the Holy Spirit before Jesus’ crucifixion. Here are key examples from the NRSV:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The angel said to her, \u2018The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God.\u2019”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “I baptize you with water for repentance, but one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Jesus answered, \u2018Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.<\/strong> What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.\u2019”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, \u2018Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, \u201cOut of the believer\u2019s heart shall flow rivers of living water.\u201d\u2019 Now he said this about the Spirit, which believers in him were to receive; for as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n These passages indicate the Holy Spirit’s role in Jesus’ life and mission, as well as its promised future presence for believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From ChatGPT on 11\/8\/2024.

\n\n\n\nIn the New Testament before the Crucifixion from ChatGPT on 12\/30\/2024<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
1. The Annunciation (Luke 1:35)<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
2. John the Baptist’s Prophecy (Matthew 3:11)<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
3. Jesus’ Baptism (Matthew 3:16)<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
4. Jesus’ Teaching on the Spirit (John 3:5-6)<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
5. Jesus’ Promise of the Spirit (John 7:37-39)<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Note that John 7:37-39 contradicts the earlier passages in John that quote Jesus. In addition, in my opinion, the editor who is speaking in the last phrase of the last sentence is not consistent with the other passages in John.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
