Study

   

1 "Poslije ovoga izlit ću Duha svoga na svako tijelo, i proricat će vaši sinovi i kćeri, vaši će starci sanjati sne, a vaši mladići gledati viđenja.

2 Čak ću i na sluge i sluškinje izliti Duha svojeg u dane one.

3 Pokazat ću znamenja na nebu i zemlji, krv i oganj i stupove dima."

4 Sunce će se prometnut' u tminu a mjesec u krv, prije nego svane Jahvin dan, velik i strašan.

5 Svi što prizivaju ime Jahvino spašeni će biti, jer će na brdu Sionu i u Jeruzalemu biti spasenje, kao što Jahve reče, a među preživjelima oni koje Jahve pozove.

18-19 The Lord will establish the church, to which He will give its goods and truths, (11)

20 and will remove falsities of evil, and thus hell. (11, 17)

28-29 By His Divine the Lord will fill those who are of that church with all things and will vivify them. (11, 12)

30-31 Falsities of evil and evils of falsity will dissipate influx on the day of judgment, (3, 15)

32 but those who acknowledge and worship the Lord will be saved. (17)
