Joel 2:23-32

23Shout with joy, people in Zion! Be very happy because of the things that the Lord your God has done. He has given you just enough autumn rain. He has given you the winter rain, and the summer rain, as before.

24He will fill your stores with seeds to make bread. And he will fill your jars with new wine and oil.

25‘I will give you back the years that the locusts have eaten. I will give you all that the great locust and the young locust, and other locusts and their groups have eaten. All that my great army has eaten I will give you.

26You will have plenty to eat. You will be full. You will praise the name of the Lord your God. He has done great things for you. My people will never again be ashamed.

27Then you will know that I am in Israel. You will know that I am the Lord your God. And you will know that there is no other God. My people will never again be ashamed.’

28After that, I will pour out my Holy Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will be prophets. Your old men will dream and your young men will see pictures in their minds. (The Lord will send these to them.)

29I will pour out my Spirit on all my servants, on men and on women in those days.

30I will do strange things in the sky and on the earth. I will send blood and fire and clouds of smoke.

31The sun will become dark and the moon will become red. Then the great and frightening day of the Lord will come.

32Everyone who asks the Lord for help will be safe. They will be safe if they believe in his name. The Lord will save the people on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem. He has promised this to those people whom he has asked to come to him.
