Compare all
17 ‘Anda it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
bThat I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and cyour daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams. 
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
aAnd they shall prophesy. 
19 aI will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. 
20 aThe sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. 
21 And it shall come to pass
That awhoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.’  
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you aby miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—  
23 Him, abeing delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, byou have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;  
24 awhom God raised up, having loosed the2 pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

Acts 2:19

Wonders (terata). Apparently akin to the verb threw, to watch like a wonder in the sky,

miracle (miraculum), marvel, portent. In the New Testament the word occurs only in the plural and only in connection with shmeia (signs) as here and in verse Acts 2:43. But

signs (shmeia) here is not in the LXX. See on Matthew 11:20. In verse Acts 2:22 all three words occur together: powers, wonders, signs (dunamesi, terasi, shmeioiv).

As above (anw). This word is not in the LXX nor is "beneath" (katw), both probably being added to make clearer the contrast between heaven and earth.

Blood and fire and vapour of smoke (aima kai pur kai atmida kapnou). A chiasm as these words illustrate bloodshed and destruction by fire as signs here on earth.
