Kiwi Chris Halvorson did a topical study on this subject and clears it up nicely. I will get you a link. It's on his site perfectinghorizons.org

I know Chris explains the Pentecost issue in this broadcast. He also explains why the beginning of 194 is not the same day as what is happening on paper 193 he explains this at about the 1:19:00 mark and it continues on from there to about 1:28:00 or so I believe. I just did a quick look so it may start a little bit earlier than that.

He explains that the revelators don't repeat what is properly depicted in the bible, they expect us to know that. They are only clearing up what is wrong. So 193 and 194 parallels Acts in the bible. What is happening at the end of 193 is that Peter is beginning a long conference. So 193 relates to 194 in that its the same sort of group in the same place praying, but in the book of Acts they explain that this is along group prayer session. I think he mentions its like an 10 day group thing. So that 1 o'clock is over a week later but its the same event. He explains Passover was April 8th and Pentecost is the 50th day after Passover "may 28".

Thank you, this is a very important finding and I will amend the note at 194:1.1 in my edition accordingly.

Although there is an error in Chris Halvorson's explanation (in the second paragraph where he claims there is a gap between end of Paper 193 and beginning of Paper 194), the third paragraph of his explanation is correct.

The beginning of Paper 194 follows _immediately_ after the end of Paper 193 --- this is obvious (reference to prayer, etc). However, Section 1 of Paper 194 is separated from Section 0 by a gap of 10 days, so Chris Halvorson's explanation is essentially accurate. I will include it in my edition now. Thanks again for highlighting this.

Q&A 1089 - Resurrection and Ascension on same day?

Luke seems to describe Christ's ascension on the same day as his resurrection (Luke 24:13-51), whereas Acts states clearly it was forty days after (Acts 1:3ff). What do you think?

Yes, at first blush it does appear that the ascension and resurrection took place on the same day! But keeping in mind that Luke authored both Luke and Acts -- where the ascension took place 40 days after the resurrection -- we must give him the benefit of the doubt. It is quite common in scripture for events to be telescoped. That is, events are mentioned in the same breath that may take place days, years, or even centuries apart.

Luke ends with the ascension perhaps because this is how he is beginning the book of Acts; the ascension is the transition between Volumes I and II of his magnum opus.

He explains that the revelators don't repeat what is properly depicted in the bible, they expect us to know that.

Pentecost is a most joyous space for conferring baptisms; wherein, too, the resurrection of the Lord was repeatedly proved among the disciples, and the hope of the advent of the Lord indirectly pointed to, in that, at that time, when He had been received back into the heavens, the angels told the apostles that “He would so come, as He had withal ascended into the heavens;” at Pentecost, of course.

All these events occurred during a most important festival, I mean the august and holy solemnity of Pentecost, which is distinguished by a period of seven weeks, and crowned with that one day on which the holy Scriptures attest the reception of our common Saviour into heaven, and the descent of the Holy Spirit among men.
