He sentdarknessand made[it] dark;And they did not rebelagainstHis words.
"The sunwill be turnedinto darknessAnd the mooninto bloodBeforethe greatand awesomedayof the LORDcomes.
Alas,you who are longingfor the dayof the LORD,For whatpurpose[will] the dayof the LORD[be] to you? It [will be] darknessand not light;
"It will comeabout in that day,"declaresthe LordGOD,"That I will make the sungodown at noonAnd makethe earthdarkin broaddaylight.
Nowfrom the sixthhourdarknessfellupon allthe landuntilthe ninthhour.
The tombswere opened,and manybodiesof the saintswho had fallen asleepwere raised;
When the centurion,who was standingright in frontof Him, sawthe wayHe breathed His last,he said,"Trulythismanwas the Sonof God!"
Nowit was the day of preparationfor the Passover;it was aboutthe sixthhour.And he saidto the Jews,"Behold,your King!"
THE SUNWILL BE TURNEDINTO DARKNESSAND THE MOONINTO BLOOD,BEFORETHE GREATAND GLORIOUSDAYOF THE LORDSHALL COME.
