The descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost was prophesied by Joel. The Book of Joel is one of the minor prophets in the Old Testament of the Bible. In chapter 2, Joel prophesies about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on all people, both men and women, young and old, in the last days. This prophecy was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles and other believers gathered in Jerusalem after Jesus' ascension into heaven. The event is recorded in the New Testament book of Acts, chapter 2.
