The Outpouring of the Spirit
Joel 3
The Lord promises to pour out his Spirit on all flesh, so that sons and daughters will prophesy, old men will dream dreams, and young men will see visions, with signs of blood, fire, and smoke and the darkening of the sun and moon before the great and glorious day of the Lord. On that day, whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, and deliverance will be found in Mount Sion and Jerusalem among those the Lord has called.
