17 *"When the last days come,

I will give my Spirit

to everyone.

Your sons and daughters

will prophesy.

Your young men

will see visions,

and your old men

will have dreams.

18 In those days I will give

my Spirit to my servants,

both men and women,

and they will prophesy.

19 "I will work miracles

in the sky above

and wonders

on the earth below.

There will be blood and fire

and clouds of smoke.

20 The sun will turn dark,

and the moon

will be as red as blood

before the great

and wonderful day

of the Lord appears.

21 Then the Lord

will save everyone

who asks for his help."
