People's Commentary (NT)
Acts 2:17
It shall come to pass in the last days. The phrase "Last days" was
used by the Jews to denote the last dispensation, that of Christ. See
Isaiah 2:2.
I will pour out of my Spirit. A figurative expression to indicate
abundant gifts of the Spirit.
Upon all flesh. On all races, not on the Jews alone.
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. "To prophesy" in the
New Testament means to communicate religious truth by divine authority,
as well as to foretell the future. The prophecy was fulfilled in the
inspired speaking on Pentecost and afterwards, as well as by the
daughters of Philip (Acts 21:9). It will be seen that both sexes are
included.
See visions . . . dream dreams. Such visions as that of Peter at
Joppa (Acts 10:9-16). Such dreams as that of Paul at Troas, where
he saw the Macedonian asking him to "Come and help us" (Acts 16:9).
