The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. (Joel 2:31)
Behold, the day of the Lord is coming ... the stars of heaven and their constellations will not flash forth their light; the sun will be dark when it rises and the moon will not shed its light. Thus I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity. (Isaiah 13: 9-11)
Come, tread, for the wine press is full; the vats overflow for their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. The sun and moon grow dark and the stars lose their brightness. The Lord roars from Zion and utters His voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth tremble. (Joel 3: 13-16)
The earth is broken asunder, the earth is split through, the earth is shaken violently. The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard and it totters like a shack, for its transgression is heavy upon it. ... The Lord will punish the host of heaven on high, and the kings of the earth on earth. ... Then the moon will be abashed and the sun ashamed, for the Lord of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and His glory will be before His elders. (Isaiah 24: 19-21,23)
In that day there will be no light; the luminaries will dwindle. For it will be a unique day which is known to the Lord, neither day nor night ... and in that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem. (Zechariah 14: 6-8)
Jesus Christ: "The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory." (Matthew 24: 29,30)
