2:30 The warning about Yahweh’s day

Southern kingdom

30 Then I’ll do miracles in the skies and on the earth—

blood and fire and columns of smoke.

31 The sun will be turned into darkness

≈ and the moon into blood,[ref]

ahead of the coming of Yahweh’s incredible yet scary day.

32 Then it will happen that everyone who calls on Yahweh’s name will be saved,

because on Mt. Tsiyon (Zion) and in Yerushalem (Jerusalem) there’ll be a way of escape, just as Yahweh has said,

and among the survivors who Yahweh is calling.[ref]

2:31: Mat 24:29; Mrk 13:24-25; Luk 21:25; Rev 6:12-13.

2:28-32: Acts 2:17-21.
