Indeed, the stars of the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be dark when it rises, and the moon will not shine.

Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will shake from its foundations at the wrath of the LORD of Hosts, on the day of His burning anger.

Like wandering gazelles and like sheep without a shepherd, each one will turn to his own people, each one will flee to his own land.

The moon will be put to shame and the sun disgraced, because the LORD of Hosts will reign as king on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, and He will [display His] glory in the presence of His elders.

I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty. [I looked] to the heavens, and their light was gone.

When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.

I will darken all the shining lights in the heavens over you, and will bring darkness on your land. [This is] the declaration of the Lord God.

I will display wonders in the heavens and on the earth: blood, fire, and columns of smoke.

The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and awe-inspiring Day of the LORD comes.

And in that day-- [this is] the declaration of the Lord God-- I will make the sun go down at noon; I will darken the land in the daytime.

I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation; I will cause everyone to wear sackcloth and every head to be shaved. I will make that grief like mourning for an only son and its outcome like a bitter day.

"Immediately after the tribulation of those days: The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the celestial powers will be shaken.

From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over the whole land.

"But in those days, after that tribulation: The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light;

Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.

I will display wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below: blood and fire and a cloud of smoke.

But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief; on that [day] the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, the elements will burn and be dissolved, and the earth and the works on it will be disclosed.

as you wait for and earnestly desire the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be on fire and be dissolved, and the elements will melt with the heat.

Then I saw Him open the sixth seal. A violent earthquake occurred; the sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair; the entire moon became like blood;

the sky separated like a scroll being rolled up; and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

Then I saw a great white throne and One seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from His presence, and no place was found for them.

At that time Michael the great prince who stands watch over your people will rise up. There will be a time of distress such as never has occurred since nations came into being until that time. But at that time all your people who are found written in the book will escape.

Therefore I said, "Look away from me! Let me weep bitterly! Do not try to comfort me about the destruction of my dear people."

For the Lord God of Hosts had a day of tumult, trampling, and bewilderment in the Valley of Vision-- people shouting and crying to the mountains;

The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is worse than a hedge of thorns. The day of your watchmen, [the day of] your punishment, is coming; at this time their panic is here.

though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with its turmoil. Selah

The floods have lifted up, LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their pounding waves.

Greater than the roar of many waters-- the mighty breakers of the sea-- the LORD on high is majestic.

On that day they will roar over it, like the roaring of the sea. When one looks at the land, there will be darkness and distress; light will be obscured by clouds.

For I am the LORD your God who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar-- His name is Yahweh of Hosts.
