A:The story of the Christian Pentecost seems to have been inspired by the Jewish Pentecost, or Shavuot, celebrated from the second century BCE onwards in memory of the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai. It takes place fifty days after Passover, just as the Christian Pentecost takes place fifty days after Easter. Numbers 11:25 tells us that on that occasion, the spirit of God came down on the seventy elders and they began to prophesy in ecstasy, just as Acts was later to say that the disciples began to speak in tongues. In the Christian version, Peter referred to Joel 2:28-32, using the words (Acts 2:17-21):

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. "

Given that the author of Acts was seemingly inspired by the Jewish Passover in writing his account, we could infer that he was also aware of the passage in the Book of Joel. In any case, genuine prophecy seems to have eluded the apostles, and blood, fire and smoke are not associated with Pentecost. The remainder of the passage is apocalytic, but certainly not concerned with Pentecost. No Old Testament prophet ever prophesied the day of Pentecost.
