Joel 2:28-3:2

The Day of the LORD 28“And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.

29Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

30I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

31The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD . 32And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has said, even among the survivors whom the LORD calls. In Hebrew texts 2:28-32 is numbered 3:1-5.

The Nations Judged 1In Hebrew texts 3:1-21 is numbered 4:1-21. “In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

2I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat means the Lord judges; also in verse 12. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.
