Acts 2:16-25

¹⁶Instead, what has happened to us is the miraculous thing that the prophet Joel wrote about long ago. Joel wrote: God says,

¹⁷‘During the last/final days before I judge all people, I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people SYN everywhere. As a result, your sons and daughters will tell people messages from me, the young men among you will see visions from me, and the old men among you will have dreams that I will give them.

¹⁸During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit even to men and women believers who are my slaves/servants, so they can tell people messages from me.

¹⁹I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show that I am powerful. Here on the earth CHI I will cause wars with blood, fire and thick/dark smoke everywhere.

²⁰In the sky the sun will appear dark to people and the moon will appear red to them. Those things will happen before the important and splendid/amazing day MTY when I, the Lord God, will come to judge everyone.

²¹Before that time, all those who ask me MTY to save them from the guilt of their sins will be saved { I, the Lord, will save all those who ask me MTY to save them from the guilt of their sins.}’”

²²Peter continued , “ My fellow Israelites, listen to me! When Jesus from Nazareth town lived among you, God proved to you that he had sent him by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know that this is true .

²³Even though you knew that, you turned this man Jesus over to his enemies. However, God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men SYN who do not obey God's law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.

²⁴He suffered terribly when he died, but God caused him to become alive again. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him PRS to remain dead.”

²⁵“ Long ago King David wrote what the Messiah said, “I knew that you, Lord God, would always be near me. You are right beside MTY me, so I will not be afraid of those who want to harm me.
