17

‘And in the last days it will be,’ God says,‘that I will pour out my Spirit on all people, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

18

Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.

And I will perform wonders in the sky above and miraculous signs on the earth below, blood and fire and clouds of smoke.

And then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
