Exegesis
The verse begins with kai {καὶ | kaí} linking this statement to the preceding prophetic context, followed by the finite verb dōsō {δώσω | dṓ-sō} which carries an implied first person subject, presenting a single main future declarative clause.
The series haima, kai pyr, kai atmida kapnou {αἷμα καὶ πῦρ καὶ ἀτμίδα καπνοῦ | haî-ma kai pyr kai at-mí-da kap-noû} expands the nature of these signs with three vivid accusative images, joined by repeated kai {καὶ | kaí} in a polysyndetic rhythm that heightens dramatic intensity.
In context — Acts 2:19
And I will give wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below—blood and fire and vapor of smoke .
