| Mark 13:24 | *But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light. Isaias 13:10.; Ezechiel 32:7.; Joel 2:10. | In the day of judgment the luminaries of heaven shall be darkened, not by the privation of their light, but by the approach of the true light of the world, that is the great Judge. And what cause for wonder can there be, that man should be terrified at the thoughts of the last day, when the angelic powers shall tremble; or, how will these mortal habitations of ours stand the shock, when the very pillars of heaven shall be moved? what will the tender osier suffer, when the lofty cedars of Paradise bend their head! (Ven. Bede) |
