a day of darkness

“And on that day [of judgement],” declares the Lord GOD,“I will make the sun go down at noon 

and darken the earth in broad daylight.  (Amos 8:9)

a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Like blackness there is 

spread upon the mountains a great and powerful people; their like has never been before,nor 

will be again after them through the years of all generations. (Joel 2:2) 

Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD!Why would you have the day of the LORD?
It is darkness, and not light,as if a man fled from a lion,and a bear met him,
or went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall,and a serpent bit him.
Is not the day of the LORD darkness, and not light,and gloom with no brightness 

in it? (Amos 5:18-20)

The great day of the LORD is near,near and hastening fast;

the sound of the day of the LORD is bitter; the mighty man cries aloud there.
A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and 

devastation, a day of darkness and gloom,a day of clouds and thick darkness,
(Zephaniah 1:14-15)

It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land 

until the ninth hour, while the sun's light failed. And the curtain of the 

temple was torn in two. Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, 

“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed

his last.(Luke 23:44-46) 

The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome 

day of the LORD comes. And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the 

LORD shall be saved. (Joel 2:31)
