Joel 2:28-32
Expanded Bible
28 “After this,
I will pour out my Spirit on all ·kinds of people [humanity; flesh; Acts 2:17–21; Is. 32:15; Ezek. 39:29; Zech. 12:10].
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
and your young men will see visions.
29 ·At that time [L In those days] I will pour out my Spirit
·also [even] on male ·slaves [servants] and female ·slaves [servants].
30 I will show ·miracles [wonders; portents]
in the ·sky [heavens] and on the earth:
blood, fire, and ·thick [columns/billows of] smoke.
31 The sun will ·become dark [turn to darkness],
the moon ·red as blood [L to blood; Rev. 6:12],
before the ·overwhelming [great] and ·terrible [awesome] day of the Lord comes.
32 ·Then [L And it will happen that] ·anyone [all] who calls on the [L name of the] Lord
will be ·saved [rescued],
because on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
there will be people who will ·be saved [escape; be delivered],
just as the Lord has said.
·Those left alive after the day of punishment [The remnant/survivors]
are the people whom the Lord called.
