John the Baptist on JESUS:
Mark 1:8
King James Version
8 I indeed have baptized you with water:
but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
What does "outpouring of SPIRIT" mean?
Who is the HOLY SPIRIT?
What can He do?
Here's what the Bible says:
Isaiah 44:1-4
King James Version
44 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant;
and Israel, whom I have chosen:
2 Thus saith the Lord that made thee,
and formed thee from the womb,
which will help thee;
Fear not, O Jacob, my servant;
and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty,
and floods upon the dry ground:
I will pour my spirit upon thy seed,
and my blessing upon thine offspring:
4 And they shall spring up as among the grass,
as willows by the water courses.
Joel 2:28-29
King James Version
28 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:
29 And also upon the servants
and upon the handmaids in those days
will I pour out my spirit.
Joel 2:30-31
King James Version
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens
and in the earth,
blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood,
before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
Joel 2:32
King James Version
32 And it shall come to pass,
that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord
shall be delivered:
for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem
shall be deliverance,
as the Lord hath said,
and in the remnant
whom the Lord shall call.
Zechariah 12:8

8 In that day shall the Lord defend
the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
and he that is feeble among them at that day
shall be as David;
and the house of David shall be as God,
as the angel of the Lord before them.

that I will seek to destroy all the nations
that come against Jerusalem.

and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
the spirit of grace and of supplications:
and they shall look upon me
whom they have pierced,
and they shall mourn for him,
as one mourneth for his only son,
and shall be in bitterness for him,
as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Matthew 3:11-12
King James Version
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance.
but he that cometh after me is mightier than I,
whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost,
and with fire:
12 Whose fan is in his hand,
and he will throughly purge his floor,
and gather his wheat into the garner;
but he will burn up the chaff
with unquenchable fire.

Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.

and they received the Holy Ghost.
