When did the Holy Spirit come, after Jesus or before? The Old Testament also refers to the Holy Spirit. When reading John 16:7, it sounds as if the Holy Spirit is sent to replace the physical absence of Jesus. Why would the Holy Spirit be in the Old Testament then?
The Holy Spirit was present in the Old Testament. He has always been present but in different ways. In the Old Testament, He ministered to Moses and his leadership team as well as to Othniel, Gideon, Sampson, Samuel, Jephthah, Saul, David, and Ezekiel.
Notice that in each case the Spirit came “upon” them. He did not live inside them. He did not come “in” them and He did not always remain with them. King David understood this when he asked God to not remove the Holy Spirit from him. This is an important point. In 1 Samuel 16:13-14 we are told that the Holy Spirit came “mightily upon” King David, and then later in Psalms 51:11 David asks God to not remove the Holy Spirit from him. The Holy Spirit came “upon” people, but He did not remain with them.
When we come to the New Testament, we find that the Holy Spirit was also present during Jesus’ ministry, and helped Him perform miracles, and cast out demons.
