Promise of the Ruach Adonai
3 “So it will be afterward,[a]
I will pour out My Ruach on all flesh:[b]
your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.
2 “Also on the male and the female servants
will I pour out My spirit in those days.[c]
3 I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth—
blood, fire and pillars of smoke.[d]
4 The sun will be turned into darkness
and the moon into blood, before the great and awesome day of Adonai comes.
5 Then all who call on Adonai’s Name[e] will escape,
for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
there will be rescue, as Adonai has said,
among the survivors whom Adonai is calling.”
