Chapter 3

1

1 Then afterward I will pour out my spirit upon all mankind. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions;

2

Even upon the servants and the handmaids, in those days, I will pour out my spirit.

3

And I will work wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, fire, and columns of smoke;

4

The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, At the coming of the Day of the LORD, the great and terrible day.

5

Then everyone shall be rescued who calls on the name of the LORD; For on Mount Zion there shall be a remnant, as the LORD has said, And in Jerusalem survivors whom the LORD shall call.

 

 




1 [1] ( Joel 3:1-5)I will pour out my spirit: In the Old Testament the spirit is the gift of God bestowed on those acting as his agents. The promise of the spirit is quoted by St. Peter in Acts 2:17-21 as fulfilled in an eminent way by the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, bestowed on the Apostles.
