"But immediatelyafterthe tribulationof thosedaysTHE SUNWILL BE DARKENED,AND THE MOONWILL NOT GIVEITS LIGHT,AND THE STARSWILL FALLfrom the sky,and the powersof the heavenswill be shaken.
beforethe sunand the light,the moonand the starsare darkened,and cloudsreturnafterthe rain;
For the starsof heavenand their constellationsWill not flashforththeir light;The sunwill be darkwhen it risesAnd the moonwill not shedits light.
Then the moonwill be abashedand the sunashamed,For the LORDof hostswill reignon MountZionand in Jerusalem,And [His] glorywill be beforeHis elders.
And allthe hostof heavenwill wearaway,And the skywill be rolledup like a scroll;Alltheir hostswill also witherawayAs a leafwithersfrom the vine,Or as [one] withersfrom the figtree.
Beforethem the earthquakes,The heavenstremble,The sunand the moongrowdarkAnd the starslosetheir brightness.
The sunand moongrowdarkAnd the starslosetheir brightness.
[Will] not the dayof the LORD[be] darknessinsteadof light,Even gloomwith nobrightnessin it?
"It will comeabout in that day,"declaresthe LordGOD,"That I will make the sungodown at noonAnd makethe earthdarkin broaddaylight.
"For thenthere will be a greattribulation,suchas has not occurredsincethe beginningof the worlduntilnow,noreverwill.
"But allthese thingsare [merely] the beginningof birth pangs.
But the dayof the Lordwill comelikea thief,in whichthe heavenswill pass awaywith a roarand the elementswill be destroyedwith intense heat,and the earthand its workswill be burnedup.
The fourthangelsounded,and a thirdof the sunand a thirdof the moonand a thirdof the starswere struck,sothat a thirdof them would be darkenedand the daywould not shinefor a thirdof it, and the nightin the same way.
