God’s Spirit Poured Out
28 “Anda it shall come to pass afterward That bI will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; cYour sons and your ddaughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.
29 And also on Myamenservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
30 “And aI will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
31aThe sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, bBefore the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
32 And it shall come to pass Thatawhoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be1 saved. For bin Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be1 deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among cthe remnant whom the Lord calls.
And also—"And even." The very slaves by becoming the Lord's servants are His freemen (I Corinthians 7:22; Galatians 3:28; Colossians 3:11; Philemon 1:16). Therefore, in Acts 2:18 it is quoted, "My servants" and "My handmaidens"; as it is only by becoming the Lord's servants they are spiritually free, and partake of the same spirit as the other members of the Church.
