Text

Prophecy

Acts 2:17–21 · English

In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, prophesy.

I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on Earth below. Even on my servants, on men and women, I will pour my spirit in those days.

Signs on Earth below: blood and fire and billows of smoke, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. And ev’ryone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
