Joel 2:31
Compare all
29 And also on My amenservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days. 
30 “And aI will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth:
Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. 
31 aThe sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
bBefore the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. 
32 And it shall come to pass
That awhoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be1 saved.
For bin Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be1 deliverance,
As the Lord has said,
Among cthe remnant whom the Lord calls.

Joel 2:31

The sun shall be turned into darkness - The Jewish polity, civil and ecclesiastical, shall be entirely destroyed.

Before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come - In the taking and sacking of Jerusalem, and burning of the temple, by the Romans, under Titus, the son of Vespasian. This was, perhaps, the greatest and most terrible day of God' s vengeance ever shown to the world, or that ever will be shown, till the great day of the general judgment. For a full view of this subject, I wish to refer the reader to the notes on Matthew 24.
