Definition: Antepaschal refers to a period preceding the Pentecost celebration in the Bible, during which God's presence was felt through the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and subsequent converts. During this time, the apostles experienced anointing with the Holy Spirit by the Lord as they preached His word. The Ante-Pascals were the first believers to be fully cleansed from sin and immersed in the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. They experienced a new life of faith and spiritual growth under God's power and guidance. This period is significant because it was a time when the apostles received direct revelation and anointing with the Holy Spirit, enabling them to speak into the world and demonstrate the power of God's word.
