The Day of the Lord

28 “Afterward I will pour out my Spirit on everyone:
    your sons and daughters will proclaim my message;
    your old people will have dreams,
    and your young people will see visions.
29 At that time I will pour out my Spirit
    even on servants, both men and women.

30 “I will give warnings of that day
    in the sky and on the earth;
    there will be bloodshed, fire, and clouds of smoke.
31 (A)The sun will be darkened,
    and the moon will turn red as blood
    before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.
32 (B)But all who ask the Lord for help will be saved.
As the Lord has said,
    ‘Some in Jerusalem will escape;
    those whom I choose will survive.’”
