I have loved following you guys through the Exodus! So much learning happening... Thank You both! Erika you mentioned Acts 2 the word of God breaking apart into 70 fires. Where are you getting the 70 .... is it verse 5 and every nation? Is there a source, or was this simply a connection you were made; a picture you drew? I'm looking forward to your response.
