“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.
“ ‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.
He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.
But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.
And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.
who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
