“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:”
The promise that the LORD will pour out his spirit on all flesh indicates a democratization of the Spirit, a movement beyond the limitation of prophetic inspiration to particular individuals. The inclusive language—all flesh, both sons and daughters, young and old, servants and handmaids—indicates comprehensive inspiration. This verse articulates the promise of universal access to divine spirit.
