However, there is good reason to believe that what happened in Acts 2 was only a small fulfilment of those words of Joel 2. The major fulfilment will be when Israel has been invaded and the attacking army destroyed (Joel 2:20), and when Israel have repented and are living in happy fellowship with God (2:27). "And it shall come to pass afterward (i.e. after this), that I will pour out my spirit..." (Joel 2:28).
Walakini, kuna sababu nzuri ya kuamini kwamba lililotokea katika Mdo. 2 ulikuwa ni utimizo mdogo tu wa hayo maneno ya Yoeli 2. Utimilizo mkubwa utakuwa hapo Israeli akiisha vamiwa na Jeshi kisha nalo likiisha haribiwa (Yoeli. 2:27), "Hata itakuwa, baada ya hayo ya kwamba nitamimina Roho yangu juu yao wote wenye mwili ….." (2:28).
