16 But Joel the prophet wrote about what is happening here today:

17 ‘God says: In the last days
    I will pour out my Spirit on all ·kinds of people [people; humanity; T flesh].
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
    Your young men will see visions,
    and your old men will dream dreams.
18 At that time I will pour out my Spirit
    also on my male ·slaves [servants] and female ·slaves [servants],
    and they will prophesy.
19 I will show ·miracles [wonders; marvels]
    in the ·sky [or heaven] above
    and ·signs [miracles] on the earth below:
    blood, fire, and ·thick [L a cloud/billow of] smoke.
20 The sun will ·become dark [L be turned to darkness],
    the moon ·red as blood [L to blood],
    before the ·overwhelming [great] and glorious day of the Lord will come.
21 Then anyone who calls on [L the name of] the Lord will be saved [Joel 2:28–32].’
