Revelation 8:12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”
Well, here's the commentary link.A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night: This does not describe a one-third lessening of light, but one-third of the day and night are plunged into absolute darkness. As Jesus said: the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light (Matthew 24:29).
Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet: The angel’s woes are well founded, because one-third of the earth’s population will die in the next three trumpets.
The ancient Greek words for angel and eagle are very close in spelling. Some ancient versions say that it is an eagle flying through the midst of heaven, making this cry.
OK... now it's getting extraterrestrial! I've been considering space junk or nuclear explosions [man-made crap] instead of meteors.... but it seems something has upset the balance of the whole solar system. Apparently, there is a dark spot on the sun. Is the moon hung up in the way of our sunshine? Apparently, this is occurring daily... So, the moon has to be frozen in its rotation and it's causing an eclipse day and night as the earth revolves on its axis. This is from the commentary on Matthew 24:29.
The sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light: Several prophetic passages describe the cosmic disturbances that will precede and surround the glorious return of Jesus (Joel 2:10, Revelation 6:12-14, Isaiah 34:4).
Matthew 24 is the chapter that records what Jesus had to say about "end times".
Hey... maybe when whatever it is that hits the earth, passed the moon... It caused the moon to wobble, causing a magnetic pull from the earth to grab the moon. That would make sense.
Now I know things are going to get rough.... The moon controls the monthly cycles. Women who are stuck on earth because they are not Christians will be in a continuing state of PMS! Oh, that's really worthy of "Woe! Woe! Woe!"!
"Woe! Woe! Woe!"
