Isaiah 13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Matthew 24:v.29-30
29 Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear
the SIGN
of the Son of man in heaven:
Greetings
I chose those verses I would like to comment them by the very Word of God.
The verses above is about stars, and sun, and moon. Well, the material things are figure of spiritual things. The parables of JESUS are good examples, am I right?
Being moon a natural satellite, it is not capable of having its own light, what we see at night, as you know, is only sunlight, which in contact with the moon's surface, reflects its rightness to Earth. The Holy Spirit also, he has no light of its own as JESUS said: "he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come, he shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that the (person of) Holy Spirit shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you".
Speaking spiritually (the material things are figure of Spiritual things), we can say that moon (the person of Holy Spirit, the Lesser Light, and the true Church of Christ, or His body with the true believers), they reflect the brightness, the Light of JESUS, to Earth (to the inhabitants of earth). Speaking materially, the Moon has nothing to do with day, day has to do with Sun exclusively. In other words, the Church without the Light of JESUS stand in darkness of the night only.
God gives us great revelations by the prophet Malachi. Malachi 4:1-3
1 For, behold, the Day cometh (the Lord's Day),that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the Day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto ye(them) that fear my NAME (what NAME-John 17:v.6) shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and they shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
The verses 2-3 above show us prophetically the growth of God's people after God sent JESUS - the Greater Light - on the fourth Day, or around 4,000 years after God had started His works on His Plan of Restoration of all things as is written in John 5:v.17 and Acts 3:v.19-24-Check it out.
The question is:
How to understand spiritually Isaiah 13:10 "For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine"???
Well, if the Sun -the Greater Light-JESUS- be darkened as is prophesied, how will the Moon-His Church with its stars and Holy Spirit- reflect its brightness to Earth? Impossible.
An another question is:
What kind of event is this able to prevent the Light of JESUS, the Great Light, reflect on His Church? Which is clothed with HIS Light, the Light of the Sun, that is, clothed with the brightness of His Light? By the Word of God, not mine word, this terrible event must occur according to what was revealed by JESUS in Revelation 9: v.1-3 and 11-12:
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the Sun and the Air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given POWER, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit (angel of the abyss-Beast of the earth), whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
Isaiah 13:v.10 combined with Mat.24:v.29, as below:
Mat 24:29 Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days shall the Sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the STARS shall fall from heaven-Revelation 12:v.4 , and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: (evidently)
With the manifestation of the ANGEL of the abyss, a former Cherub, son of perdition, Abaddon - Revelation 9 and 2 Thessalonians 2 - whose EVENT must occur in the middle of the last week-Daniel 9:v.27-then will be established the Abomination of Desolation- whose MAN will manifest himself like a lamb, and he speaks as a Dragon-Revelation 13:v.11, in fact a false lamb, a false messiah, an esoteric, and kabbalistic, and spiritist messiah (JOHN 5:V.43), AN IMPOSTER, Who (as a Jewish messiah) will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God will sit in the Temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
JESUS said: John 9:v.4-5:
4 I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world. Why can no man work? It because the Sun will be darkened and the darkness, the night, will cover even the Church that is clothed with the Light of the the Great Light-JESUS. Revelation 12:v.13 to 17.
Well, there will be a battle or a War against the Devil and his messengers, that old serpent, and Satan, even now in the current time of Apocalypse, and now he is called of red Dragon, that is the new name of Satan.
May our LORD God bless and keep us, and give us His protection. Amen.
