Joel 2:27-32

New International Version

²⁷Then you will know^(A) that I am in Israel,
that I am the Lord^(B) your God,
and that there is no other;
never again will my people be shamed.^(C)

The Day of the Lord

²⁸“And afterward,
    I will pour out my Spirit^(D) on all people.^(E)
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,^(F)
    your old men will dream dreams,^(G)
    your young men will see visions.
²⁹Even on my servants,^(H) both men and women,
    I will pour out my Spirit in those days.^(I)
³⁰I will show wonders in the heavens^(J)
    and on the earth,^(K)
    blood and fire and billows of smoke.
³¹The sun will be turned to darkness^(L)
    and the moon to blood
    before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.^(M)
³²And everyone who calls
    on the name of the Lord^(N) will be saved;^(O)
for on Mount Zion^(P) and in Jerusalem
    there will be deliverance,^(Q)
    as the Lord has said,
even among the survivors^(R)
    whom the Lord calls.^[a]^(S)

Revelation 14:1-5

New International Version

The Lamb and the 144,000

14 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb,^(A) standing on Mount Zion,^(B) and with him 144,000^(C) who had his name and his Father’s name^(D) written on their foreheads.^(E) ²And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters^(F) and like a loud peal of thunder.^(G) The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.^(H) ³And they sang a new song^(I) before the throne and before the four living creatures^(J) and the elders.^(K) No one could learn the song except the 144,000^(L) who had been redeemed from the earth. ⁴These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins.^(M) They follow the Lamb wherever he goes.^(N) They were purchased from among mankind^(O) and offered as firstfruits^(P) to God and the Lamb. ⁵No lie was found in their mouths;^(Q) they are blameless.^(R)
