Friends,
The fire was aproaching. And suddenly the Man that stilled the sea had vanished. And two men stood next to us and said, "Why do you stand gazing up to heaven. He will return in the same manner as He left."
Then we heard a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind. Then fire was comming down out of the sky and it appeared to be great cinders or somthing that I can not describe. Then a change occured in us and we were all able to speak in the other peoples language that were there from other countries. We were all amazed and perplexed and said to one another, "What could this mean?" The gang members mocked us and said, "You are all drunk."
But Steve stood up and said, " Let it be known to you and heed my words. For these are not drunk as you suppose. But this is what was spoken by the ancient prophet:
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out my spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shll dream dreams.
I will pour out My spirit in those days;
I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath;
Blood and fire and vapors of smoke.
The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the Name of The Lord shall be saved.
"We will be saved," one shouted. Then a cloud appeared and rain began to fall. Then there were torrents of rain and the fire was put out. The smoke cleared and a giant rainbow appeared over the Way to Salem.
