Mike, I’m seeing parallels in the language of Jeremiah 32:36-42, 33:1-22 and Acts 4:32, 5:1-16. Things like one heart and one soul, fields being bought/sold, fear coming upon the people of God, restoring Levitical priesthood (Barnabas called a Levite), the places about Jerusalem (towns around Jerusalem), etc. It’s almost like Luke is deliberately using passages from the Old Testament to telegraph something. 🙂

I know, nothing new here, but just thought it was a good example of how one should think about NT fulfillment of OT prophecy

Loved this line: “It’s almost like Luke is deliberately using passages from the Old Testament to telegraph something.” What a concept – using the OT with intent. 🙂
