And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
God says, 'In the final days, I'm going to pour out my Spirit on everyone, literally everyone. Your sons and daughters will speak my truth, young people will have visions, and older folks will dream dreams from me.'
God's Spirit isn't exclusive, it's coming for all of us, young and old, with dreams and visions included.
