God’s Promise of His Spirit

28 After this(A)
I will pour out my Spirit(B) on all humanity;(C)
then your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
your old men will have dreams,
and your young men will see visions.
29 I will even pour out my Spirit
on the male and female slaves in those days.(D)
30 I will display wonders
in the heavens and on the earth:(E)
blood, fire, and columns of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood(F)
before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.(G)
32 Then everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved,(H)
for there will be an escape
for those on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
as the Lord promised,(I)
among the survivors the Lord calls.

The Promise of the Spirit

28 [a](A)It will come about after this
That I will (B)pour out My Spirit on all [b](C)mankind;
And your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will have dreams,
Your young men will see visions.

I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

The Day of the Lord

30 I will [c](E)display wonders in the sky and on the earth,
Blood, fire, and columns of smoke.
31 The (F)sun will be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the (G)great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
32 And it will come about that (H)everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
Will [d]be saved;
For (I)on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
There will be those who (J)escape,
Just as the Lord has said,
Even among the (K)survivors whom the Lord calls.
