In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young will see visions. Your elders will dream dreams.
18
Even upon my servants, men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
19
I will cause wonders to occur in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and a cloud of smoke.
20
The sun will be changed into darkness, and the moon will be changed into blood, before the great and spectacular day of the Lord comes.
21
And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

23
In accordance with God's established plan and foreknowledge, he was betrayed. You, with the help of wicked men, had Jesus killed by nailing him to a cross.
24
God raised him up! God freed him from death's dreadful grip, since it was impossible for death to hang on to him.
25
David says about him, I foresaw that the Lord was always with me; because he is at my right hand I won't be shaken.
26
Therefore, my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover, my body will live in hope,
27
because you won't abandon me to the grave, nor permit your holy one to experience decay.
