Joel 2:23-32
23So shout for joy, you 1sons of Zion, And 2rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has 3given you 4the early rain for your vindication. And He has brought 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 compensate you for the years That the 10swarming 11locust 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 12eat and be satisfied, And you will 13praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has 14dealt wondrously with you; Then My people will 15never be put to shame.27So you will 16know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the Lord your God And there is 17no other; And My people will never be 18put to shame.
28“1920It will come about after this That I will 21pour out My Spirit on all 2223mankind; And your sons and your daughters will prophesy, Your old men will have dreams, Your young men will see visions.29And even on the 24male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.30I will 2526display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire, and columns of smoke.31The 27sun will be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the 28great and awesome day of the Lord comes.32And it will come about that 29everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Will 30be saved; For 31on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem There will be those who 32escape, Just as the Lord has said, Even among the 33survivors whom the Lord calls.
