God’s Promise of His Spirit

28 [a] After this(A)
I will pour out My Spirit(B) on all humanity;(C)
then your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
your old men will have dreams,
and your young men will see visions.
29 I will even pour out My Spirit
on the male and female slaves in those days.(D)
30 I will display wonders
in the heavens and on the earth:(E)
blood, fire, and columns of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood(F)
before the great and awe-inspiring Day of the Lord comes.(G)
32 Then everyone who calls
on the name of Yahweh will be saved,(H)
for there will be an escape
for those on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
as the Lord promised,(I)
among the survivors the Lord calls.
