Joel 2:28-32
28 “And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. 29 And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. 32 And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the remnant whom the Lord calls."

As this was fulfilled in the events recorded in Acts 2:17-21, God brought in the time for deliverance from sin in Jesus, followed by His Spirit living in those called out as His - first for the Jews in Acts 2, then to the rest of the nations as promised to Abraham long ago. God opens our eyes to Himself and gives understanding to His words when we are so saved from sin and regenerated in Christ. God calls. We must answer. Then we are pulled as a drowned man from a living death and breath again in Him with a living life that has no end!
