REVELATION 8.12 The fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars; so that one third of them would be darkened, and the day wouldn’t shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way. 8.13 I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe for those who dwell on the earth, because of the other voices of the trumpets of the three angels, who are yet to sound!” -WEB Bible.
There are many things that could cause a haze to obscure the
sun, moon and stars, and dim their light. If one of the super volcanoes
erupted, the resulting ash cloud would do it. Or, a giant meteor such as
Wormwood could throw up a huge dust and ash cloud. The event would have to be
catastrophic to cast one-third of our celestial lights into darkness.
Whatever the cause; the sun and moon are dimmed by one-third,
and only the brightest stars can be seen through the haze.
And, something else would happen: without full
sunlight the earth would cool off dramatically! You can read about the "Year
without a Summer" on Wikipedia. It happened in 1816 and was most
likely caused by two major volcanic eruptions. As a result of the cold weather,
crop failures across the Northern Hemisphere caused severe food shortages.
Those who harp on climate change don’t know that God is going
to take care of it during the Tribulation. In fact, climate change will be the
least of our problems.
In the image above, an eagle warns that the three
remaining trumpet blasts will be especially violent and destructive. There will
be much suffering. And, the very backbone of earth's financial and political systems
will be destroyed by the three woes which are coming. Mankind's power cannot
hold up against the wrath of God.
Jesus said, "I am the light of the
world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of
life." JOHN 8:12 ESV
