In the Last days God will do amazing things

“In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” (Acts 2:17-21 NIV)

In the above passage,  Peter was quoting from Joel 2:28:32, a list of things God said will happen in the last days. The list, shown as bullet points below, has prompted much discussion, debate and speculation among believers.

• Pour out His Spirit on all people.
• Sons and daughters will prophesy.
• Young men will see visions.
• Old men will dream dreams.
• God will show wonders in Heaven above.
• God will show signs on earth below.
• There will be blood and fire. 
• There will be billows of smoke.
• The sun will be turned to darkness.
• The moon will be tuned to blood.
• Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved.

This list is a lot to think about. When Peter finished quoting the passage containing the list, people were cut to the heart and asked, “what shall we do?” He gave them an answer.

“Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” (Acts 3:37-39 ESV)
