Bible Study, A Day of Sound and Fury

This Bible Study by Mr. Smith is the first of a two part message with the second part coming in his sermon this Sabbath.  He begins the study by showing how the Jews believe that the giving of the Ten Commandments was on the day of Pentecost.  He spends the rest of the study talking about the various words used in the old Testament to describe what the people heard and saw as God came down on the mountain and gave the commandments.  In the sermon this Sabbath he will tie all of this to the events described on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2.
