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:
This belongs to the days of the Messiah, which Peter confirms. Not all flesh as if the beasts, but all kinds of men, Jews and Gentiles together, receiving the gifts and graces of the Spirit in abundance, a fulfillment that began at Pentecost and spread swiftly through the Gentile world.
AI summary
What Moses wished, that all the Lord's people would be prophets and bear His Spirit, shall be fulfilled. The Spirit was never absent from the covenant nation, but confined to the few; this limit ends. The pouring out is not a new principle but a boundless extension of what was once rare.

Commenting on Joel 2:28-30
God leads us like children: first showing His kindness in earthly food and comfort, then lifting our gaze to spiritual life. Men are slow and slothful, content to be pampered like beasts; the Prophet uses lower things as a ladder to higher things, one fountain but two stages of awakening.
