The sun will be changed into darkness,\par The moon will be changed into blood.\par And then the great and wonderful\par Day of the Lord will come!\par
So the people in the land will cry\par for the dead people.\par The sky will grow dark.\par I have spoken and will not change.\par I have made a decision\par and I will not change my mind.”\par
I will make you disappear.\par I will cover the sky\par and make the stars dark.\par I will cover the sun with a cloud,\par and the moon will not shine.\par
Blow the trumpet on Zion. {\cf2\super [10]} \par Shout a warning on my holy mountain.\par Let all the people that live in the land\par shake with fear.\par The Lord’s special day is coming.\par The Lord’s special day is near.\par
The Lord calls loudly to his army.\par His camp is very large.\par That army obeys his commands.\par That army is very powerful.\par The Lord’s special day\par is a great and terrible day.\par No person can stop it.\par
It will be a dark, gloomy day.\par It will be a dark and cloudy day.\par At sunrise, you will see the army\par spread over the mountains.\par It will be a great and powerful army.\par There has never been anything\par like it before.\par And there will never be anything\par like it again.\par
“That time of judgment is coming. It will be like a hot furnace. All those proud people will be punished. All those evil people will burn like straw. At that time, they will be like a bush burning in the fire—and there will not be a branch or root left.” The Lord All-Powerful said these things.
“Amazing things will happen with the sun, moon, and stars. The people on earth will feel trapped. The oceans will be upset, and the people will not know why.
The fourth angel blew his trumpet. Then one third of the sun and one third of the moon and one third of the stars were struck. So one third of them became dark. A third of the day and night was without light.
