Act 2:17 "And it shall be in the last days, says God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
Interpretation:
So Peter goes on to tell what Joel said.. In the last days... of what? from what I gather "the last days" means the period of time from Jesus' death and resurrection, to His return. And now Jesus' Spirit is available to anyone that believes in Jesus (who He is "God in the flesh" and what He has done "took our sins to make a way to be reunited us with Himself")
Sons and daughters shall prophesy (to speak the truth of God's Word into someones life)
Young men see visions? Old men dream dreams? I do not really understand this fully but I believe it because it is scripture and I maybe one day I will see a vision, or dream a dream, up til now it has not happened that I know of. But God is still God and I just stand upon Jesus' words "Blessed are those who believe and don't see" So even if i don't see something I will just keep on believing!
Application:
Practically what I gather from this is that Jesus is coming back soon so I want to live like that is true, and that believing is not seeing. Jesus is real and with us every second of the day TALK TO HIM! That is what He died on the cross for... so that we could have fellowship with Him without a mediator. He has died for our sins and washed us clean if we believe it and cling to Him!
