The Day of the Lord

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

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.’”
