28“22 23It will comeH1961 about afterH310 thisH3651 That I will 24pourH8210 out My SpiritH7307 on allH3605 25 26mankindH1320; And your sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 will prophesyH5012, Your oldH2205 menH2205 will dreamH2492 dreamsH2472, Your youngH970 menH970 will seeH7200 visionsH2384.29EvenH1571 on the 27maleH5650 and femaleH8198 servantsH5650 H8198 I will pourH8210 out My SpiritH7307 in thoseH1992 daysH3117.30I will 28displayH5414 wondersH4159 in the skyH8064 and on the earthH776, BloodH1818, fireH784 and columnsH8490 of smokeH6227.31The 29sunH8121 will be turnedH2015 into darknessH2822 And the moonH3394 into bloodH1818 BeforeH6440 the 30greatH1419 and awesomeH3372 dayH3117 of the LordH3068 comesH935.32And it will comeH1961 about that 31whoeverH3605 H834 callsH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 Will be deliveredH4422; For 32on MountH2022 ZionH6726 and in JerusalemH3389 There will be those who 33escapeH6413, As the LordH3068 has saidH559, Even among the 34survivorsH8300 whomH834 the LordH3068 callsH7121.
