Bible Question: Was the prophecy of Joel 2:28-32 completely fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:16)? |
Bible Answer: Nolan, prophecy was only fulfilled in part at Pentecost. In Acts 2:17-20 Paul tells the men of Judea and those who live in Jerusalem that these persons were not drunk but that the first part of Joel's prophecy had been fulfilled and this was that fulfillment. However, not all of Joel's prophecy was fulfilled that morning. Verse 17 starts off "In the last days", of which we are still in. He continues to pour out His spirit on those who desire it today. Verse 19 states that He will show signs on the earth below - blood, fire, and smoky mist. I believe these are still to come. He also states that the sun shall be darkened and the moon turned to blood which we are told in Revelation 6:12 will be during the tribulation. |
