Hi Derrick, thanks so much for your comment and question. The passages about the sun and moon and stars always seem to simply be figurative, symbolizing God’s judgment. However when the end of time does come, there will be some very dramatic events also! We’re told in 2 Peter 3:9.. “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, (in other words no one knows when it will happen) in which the heavens will pass away with a roar! And the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and all it’s works will be burned up!” That will be quite an event, don’t you agree? And do you know what the next verse says? “Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought we to be, in holy conduct and godliness?” V-11. I guess we know exactly what sort of people we should be, don’t we? Thanks for your visit and your question Derrick. I hope that I’ve answered your question. Again, the sun and moon and stars are symbolic, indicating the judgment of God.

I happen to think this is really good and thorough research. My question is about the sun, moon, and stars. Is it possible that the sign that is being referred to is when all of these things happen at once(sun darkened, moon not giving light, etc.)? I think there is the assumption that these things will not ever happen until the last days, but it seems they have happened, just not all at once. Maybe they will when that day comes?
