The Promise of the Spirit

28 
“It shall come about after this
That I shall pour out My Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will dream dreams,
Your young men will see visions.
29 
“Even on the male and female servants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

The Day of the Lord

30 
“I will show signs and wonders [displaying My power] in the heavens and on the earth,
Blood and fire and columns of smoke.
31 
“The sun will be turned into darkness
And the moon into blood
Before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.(A)
32 
“And it shall come about that whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Will be saved [from the coming judgment]
For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
There will be those who escape,
As the Lord has said,
Even among the remnant [of survivors] whom the Lord calls.(B)
