Joel the Prophet announces God's judgment..."And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days."
We Christians tend to agree with Peter the Apostle (Acts 2) that Joel's prophecy is fulfilled on the first Pentecost after Jesus' death and resurrection when the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus' followers. Yet I hope for a day when God will pour out the Spirit on "all people," as in every living human being everywhere. I don't see evidence of such a widespread spiritual anointing on Planet Earth today.
