\{Remember your Creator while you are young,\} before the time comes when the sun and the moon and the stars become dark to you. \{And troubles come again and again\} like one storm after another.
The Lord will rule as king\par on Mount Zion {\cf2\super [234]} in Jerusalem.\par His Glory {\cf2\super [235]} will be before the elders. {\cf2\super [236]} \par \{His Glory will be so bright that\}\par the moon will be embarrassed,\par the sun will be ashamed.\par
The skies will be rolled shut like a scroll. {\cf2\super [313]} And the stars will die and fall like leaves from a vine or a fig tree. All the stars {\cf2\super [314]} in the sky will melt away.
Why? Because at that time there will be much trouble. There will be more trouble than has ever happened since the beginning of the world. And nothing as bad as that will ever happen again.
But the Day when the Lord comes again will be a surprise like a thief. The sky will disappear with a loud noise. All the things in the sky will be destroyed with fire. And the earth and everything in it will be burned. {\cf2\super [13]}
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.
