Joel 2:23-32
23So rejoice, O 1sons of Zion, And 2be glad in the Lord your God; For He has 3given you 4the early rain for your vindication. And He has poured down for you the rain, The 5early and 67latter rain 8as before.24The threshing floors will be full of grain, And the vats will 9overflow with the new wine and oil.25“Then I will make up to you for the years That the swarming 10locust has eaten, The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust, My great army which I sent among you.26You will have plenty to 11eat and be satisfied And 12praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has 13dealt wondrously with you; Then My people will 14never be put to shame.27Thus you will 15know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the Lord your God, And there is 16no other; And My people will never be 17put to shame.
28“1819It will come about after this That I will 20pour out My Spirit on all 2122mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions.29Even on the 23male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.30I will 24display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire and columns of smoke.31The 25sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before the 26great and awesome day of the Lord comes.32And it will come about that 27whoever calls on the name of the Lord Will be delivered; For 28on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem There will be those who 29escape, As the Lord has said, Even among the 30survivors whom the Lord calls.
