The Sun Turning Black and the Moon Blood-Red

28-32 “And that’s just the beginning: After that—

“I will pour out my Spirit
    on every kind of people:
Your sons will prophesy,
    also your daughters.
Your old men will dream,
    your young men will see visions.
I’ll even pour out my Spirit on the servants,
    men and women both.
I’ll set wonders in the sky above
    and signs on the earth below:
Blood and fire and billowing smoke,
    the sun turning black and the moon blood-red,
Before the Judgment Day of God,
    the Day tremendous and awesome.
Whoever calls, ‘Help, God!’
    gets help.
On Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
    there will be a great rescue—just as God said.
Included in the survivors
    are those that God calls.”

    and on the earth,(B)
    blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness(C)
    and the moon to blood
    before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.(D)
32 And everyone who calls
    on the name of the Lord(E) will be saved;(F)
for on Mount Zion(G) and in Jerusalem
    there will be deliverance,(H)
    as the Lord has said,
even among the survivors(I)
    whom the Lord calls.[a](J)
