Commentary: The Cross of Acts 3:16 depicts a familiar process on the cross. Three hours, or three steps, before the 4th step result, the Holy Spirit descended. This is not unlike another instance of three steps before a 4th step result. Jesus spent three days in the grave before the 4th step result—he arose. The Cross of Acts 2:17 / Joel2:28 is a prophecy for the Day of Pentecost, when God will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh on earth.
In the Gospel of John there is a testimony of 25 tenets for the Kingdom of God. These 25 tenets doubled for the Son of Man and the Son of God prophecy 50, the Day of Pentecost. (Ciphers 49-52) The 25 tenets for the Kingdom of God was delivered to the 120 men in the upper room, since 120 times 25 equal 3000 baptized on the Day of Pentecost. It is interpreted that the 120 men were not babbling incoherent sounds. The 120 were praising and teaching the 25 tenets of the Kingdom of God to the 3000 baptized that Day of Pentecost.
