Acts 2:17
‘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.
Peter brings his listeners to the prophet Joel. The intention was not to defend the strange phenomena of what was taking place in the Church. However, it most definitely was to show that these were signs of a new chapter that had been entered. The closing chapter. This was not the ‘the day of the Lord’, everyone knew that when that day came so did the end. But this was the final stages.
The landscape has changed. God said it would.
The reason for prophecy and visions and dreams is because the Spirit is here.
The next generation are involved. They blaze new trails in speech and sight. Even the old generation when they sleep their dreams become not of the past but of the future beyond.
We are in days of the new.
We still are.
