Acts 2:33 is often used to argue that Jesus is Yahweh because Joel says Yahweh will pour out His Spirit. But the Joel–Acts connection shows agency, not identity.
Joel gives Yahweh’s promise: “I will pour out My Spirit.” Peter explains the fulfillment: the exalted Jesus “received from the Father the promised holy spirit” and poured out what the crowd saw and heard.
That means Jesus does not pour out the Spirit as Yahweh Himself, but as the risen man whom God appointed, exalted, empowered, and authorized.
This fits Psalm 110:1: Yahweh tells the Messiah to sit at His right hand. That is delegated authority, not identity as Yahweh.
Peter’s conclusion is not “Jesus is Yahweh,” but that God made Jesus “both lord and Messiah” (Acts 2:36). Joel names Yahweh as the giver; Acts names Jesus as the one through whom Yahweh gives. That is Messiahship, not deity.
