To be His witness in Jerusalem !
After His ressurection, Jesus for 40 days lived among the diciples and apostles, learning them what they have to know about the Kingdom of God.
Before His Ascension, Jesus told them to stay in Jerusalem, until they were given Power through the Holy Spirit, to be His witness first in Jerusalem, - and then in Judea and Samaria, yes to the end of the Earth.
And it have all happened for 2ooo years now, in fact we are on the third day, - day nr. 3 - in Gods time-plan.
But first they should wait for the Power from God, and when they got that, they should be His witness, first in Jerusalem !
Yesterday it was the Jewish Jerusalem day, and to day it still are the Christian Ascension day. - Can we now wait that He soon will send us the Power from God, - or come in the Power from God, and take us to Heaven as witness to His Coronation in the Heavenly Jerusalem ?
bless and love to all of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, King and God.

Acts 1:1-15.v.
1:1 The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
1:2 until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
1:3 To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's Kingdom.
1:4 Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Don't depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
1:5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
1:6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
1:7 He said to them, "It isn't for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth."
1:9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
1:10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
1:11 who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
1:12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
1:13 When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
1:14 All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
1:15 In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
