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.
29 And even on the (D)male and female servants
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.

The Day of the Lord

28 [a]“Then it will come about at a later time
    that I will pour out my Spirit on every person.
Your sons and your daughters will prophesy.
    Your elderly people will dream dreams,
        and your young people will see visions.
29 Also at that time I will pour out my Spirit
    upon men and women servants.
30 I will display warnings in the heavens,
    and on the earth blood, fire, and columns of smoke.
31 The sun will be given over to darkness,
    and the moon to blood,
        before the coming of the great and terrifying Day of the Lord.
32 And everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be delivered.
    For as the Lord has said,
        ‘In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape,
        the survivors whom the Lord is calling.’”
