The Bible, especially in Acts 2 and Joel 2, explains that God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, enabling prophecy and signs.
The outpouring of the Spirit is a significant theme found in both Acts 2 and the prophecy of Joel. In Acts 2:17-18, Peter cites Joel, stating, 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh.' This event signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to empower His people to proclaim the gospel and bear witness to the works of God. It highlights the interconnection between divine revelation and human response, emphasizing that it is by the Spirit that the people of God are enabled to understand and share in the wonderful works of God, leading to repentance and salvation.
