Why wasn't the Holy Ghost mentioned in the Old Testament? Because when the "spirit of the Lord", comes upon my heart, I will dance like david danced. LOL J/k the OLD testament make reference numerous references to the Spirit of the Lord, and maybe 3 reference of the Holy Spirit. I think it has alot to do with the fact that the Holy Ghost did not come until Jesus went back to the father. I think its essential to make reference that when Jesus died (of course he rose), He gave up the "Ghost" |

There are numerous references the Holy Spirit. Its just that He isnt always called The Holy Spirit.
Breath of the Almighty (Job 33:4).
Holy Spirit (Psalms 51:11)
Spirit of grace (Zechariah 12:10)
Spirit of judgment (Isaiah 4:4; 28:6).
Spirit of knowledge (Isaiah 11:2).
Spirit of might (Isaiah 11:2).
Spirit of the fear of the Lord (Isaiah 11:2).

The terms "Holy Ghost" and "Holy Spirit" are interchangeable, meaning identically the same. These two terms in the KJV are translated from the one Greek word pneuma; therefore, there is absolutely no distinction between the terms. Either is perfectly acceptable since both mean the same.
The Holy Spirit is simply God. God is holy (Leviticus 11:44; I Peter 1:16). In fact, He alone is holy in Himself. God is also a Spirit (John 4:24), and there is only one Spirit of God (I Corinthians 12:11; Ephesians 4:4). Therefore, "Holy Spirit" is another term for the one God.
