                                The wicked things to God


               he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire, and the

               previous verse 9 says, The axe is already at the root of the
               trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will
               be cut down and thrown into the fire. Like this, John the
               Baptist cried out the one who would baptize ‘with the Holy
               Spirit and with fire’ and would come as the Lord of salvation

               and judgement.


               Also, people have assumed that ‘the Holy Spirit is like the
               wind’ with what it says in the verse 2 in today, because it says
               in the verse 2, ‘Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent

               wind’. So now they have concluded that the Holy Spirit has
               appeared like that. People have also concluded that the Holy

               Spirit is like the wind with what it says in John 3:8, The wind
               blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you
               cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it
               is with everyone born of the Spirit. Because they connect
               it to the verse 2 saying, ‘Suddenly a sound like the blowing
               of a violent wind’, they have confidence that the Holy Spirit
               is like the wind. But Jesus is not saying to tell the Holy Spirit

               is like the wind. See, the wind is not seen to our eyes, so do
               you know where the wind comes from and to? No one knows
               it, right? This is that Jesus said in parables to explain how
               do we know the Holy Spirit has come to us by taking an ex-

               ample from the part of natural phenomena. As if we cannot
