10 For the (A)stars of heaven and their constellations
Will not flash forth their light;
The (B)sun will be dark when it rises
And the moon will not shed its light.

For (B)Yahweh of hosts will reign on (C)Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
And His glory will be before His elders.

And the moon will not give its light.

31 The (A)sun will be turned into darkness

15 The (A)sun and moon grow dark,
And the stars lose their brightness.
16 And Yahweh (B)roars from Zion
And (C)gives forth His voice from Jerusalem,
And the (D)heavens and the earth quake.
But Yahweh is a (E)refuge for His people
And a (F)strong defense to the sons of Israel.
17 Then you will (G)know that I am Yahweh your God,
Dwelling in Zion, My (H)holy mountain.
So Jerusalem will be (I)holy,
And (J)strangers will pass through it no more.

Yahweh Dwells in Zion

18 And it will be in that day,
That the (K)mountains will drip with [a]sweet wine,
And the hills will (L)flow with milk,
And all the (M)brooks of Judah will flow with water;
And a (N)spring will go out from the house of Yahweh
To water the valley of [b]Shittim.
19 Egypt will become a desolation,
And Edom will become a desolate wilderness,
Because of the (O)violence [c]done to the sons of Judah,
In whose land they have shed innocent blood.
20 But Judah will be (P)inhabited forever
And Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 And I will (Q)avenge their blood which I have not avenged,
Indeed, Yahweh dwells in Zion.

The Coming of the Son of Man

29 “But immediately after the (A)tribulation of those days (B)the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and (C)the stars will fall from [a]the sky, and the powers of [b]the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then (D)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 (E)the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. 31 And (F)He will send forth His angels with (G)a great trumpet and they will gather together His [c](H)elect from (I)the four winds, from one end of the sky to the [d]other.

The Parable of the Fig Tree

12 Then I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and there was a great (A)earthquake; and the (B)sun became black as (C)sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13 and (D)the stars of the sky fell to the earth, (E)as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14 (F)And the sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and (G)every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 Then (H)the kings of the earth and the great men and the [a]commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man (I)hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they *(J)said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the [b]presence of Him (K)who sits on the throne, and from the [c](L)wrath of the Lamb, 17 for (M)the great (N)day of their [d]wrath has come, and (O)who is able to stand?”
