The gifts are therefore called "the powers of the world (age) to come" (Heb. 6:4,5); and Joel 2:26-29 describes a great outpouring of the spirit gifts after the repentance of Israel. The very fact that these gifts will be given to the believers on Christ's return is proof enough that they are not possessed now - seeing that to any Christian with eyes open to both Scripture and world events, the Lord's return must surely be soon (see Appendix 3).
Basi vipawa vimetajwa Kuwa ni 'Nguvu za zamani (Zama) zijazo’ (Ebr. 6:4, 5); naye Yoeli 2: 26 -29 umwagaji mkubwa wa karama baada ya toba ya Israeli. Uhakika sana wa kwamba vipawa hivi watapewa waaminio Kristo akirudi ni ushuhuda wa kutosha ya kwamba kwa sasa vipawa watu hawana - Kwa kuwa Mkristo awaye yote mwenye macho yaliyo wazi pande zote mbili Maandiko na matukio ya ulimwengu, ni hakika kurudi kwa Bwana inabidi kuwa amekaribia sana (tazama yaliyo mwisho wa kitabu cha 3).
