Habakkuk 1:5 Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told. -LORD God
Exodus 20:16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
And the main stream media wonders why some folks don’t find them credible. These are the same people who lecture the world about “fact checkers” and “truth”.
A couple of nights ago, the world was lead to believe that Israel had bombed a hospital in the Gaza Strip killing over 500 and destroying the hospital. The incident occurred in the dark of the night.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett took to X and posted some comments.
New York Times: SHAME ON YOU.
Yesterday, at 6:59PM Islamic Jihad fired a barrage of around 10 rockets towards Israel. One of the rockets misfired (fairly common event) and hit the parking lot of a hospital, killing many innocent people.
Then, the sun came up and shed some light on the situation.
Below is evidence presented by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) with time stamps and GPS coordinates. Outlines of the buildings and structures are provided as well.
A failed rocket launch by the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization hit the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza City.

NEW: Two senior US officials claim an independent assessment of the Gaza hospital explosion shows a misfired Palestinian Islamic Jihad group rocket hit the hospital.
NBC suggests that satellite imagery of the blast shows it wasn’t as destructive as originally thought.
Lebanon/Hezbollah: Rocket and missile fire continues to steadily increase on the northern border between Israel and Hezbollah.
Hamas terror branch in Lebanon claims responsibility for firing 30 rockets at northern Israel; several impacts reported; IDF responds with more artillery at sources of fire (via @RotterNet). Fighting on northern front intensifies every day.
Hezbollah is continually taking responsibility for multiple attacks on the border with Israel in the north. The tweet below was released by Iranian news.

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is removed.
We think the world is a mess now. Wait until the Spirit of God is removed at the resurrection and rapture of believers in Jesus. The levels of lawlessness will be unimaginable.
This is the scene across Europe. Riots are breaking out in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom.

Russian President Vladimir Putin made the trip to Beijing to meet his “dear friend” Chinese President Xi Jinping. The occasion was the Third Belt and Road Forum.
Luke 17:2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.
Instagram’s algorithms promote pedophilia according to a Wall Street Journal exclusive. And nobody really cared. No fall out. People continue to buy the parent company’s stock, META. No Congressional investigation or concern until a week later with Senator Ted Cruz from Texas. No real heat on Mark Zuckerberg. Society is getting closer to normalizing this behavior. How much is enough???
Revelation 22:18-19 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
Deuteronomy 4:2 You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I command you.
Yuval Noah Harari, an Israeli advisor to Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum, rejects the Bible as truth. He sees the Bible as a book of “myths” and “just stories.” Harari is an openly gay professor and best-selling author. He sees the resurrection of Jesus Christ as “fake news”.
“In a few years, there might be religions that are actually correct. Just think about a religion whose holy book is written by an AI. That could be a reality in a few years.”
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Humanity is dedicating a month to the celebration of Pride. And the point of this section is not to shake a finger at anybody. We all sin and we are all guilty. One sin is not more sinful than another. You break one of God’s laws, you break them all.
James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.
But, is it really a good idea to celebrate and promote a destructive mental attitude as God sees it? After all, pride is the same attitude that lead to Satan’s fall.
Isaiah 14:12-14 How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.”
Let’s take an in-depth look at the rainbow. First we are going to look at this from God’s perspective. Genesis 9 is dedicated to the rainbow. It is a covenant between God and His creation that survived the flood on the ark. It is a promise to never destroy the earth with a flood again, a promise between God and the earth. The rainbow is a symbol of mercy and grace. God gave humanity another chance.
Genesis 9:16 …And whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is on the earth.” -God
Kudos to author TW Tramm for the following observation. God’s rainbow has 7 colors. Man’s rainbow has 6 colors. The numerology is not lost. Seven is the number of completeness and perfection. Six is the number of man. The ultimate expression of the numeral is in the antichrist and his number 666.
As we know, June is Pride month. So what is the symbolism behind the six colored flag? What does it represent? But there is more than one flag. There are at least 20 plus different Pride flags according to Volvo Group. The link below breaks it down and defines what each color on each flag means.
This will come as a surprise to many. These alternative lifestyles are nothing new. Cross dressing and transgenderism were taking place at least in the time of Moses approximately 3,600 years ago. Arguably, this was likely happening in Noah’s time as well.
Today’s social experts tell us these new, complex, gender issues should have us leave the traditions of religion in the past. Times have changed. The Bible is outdated they say. What we are witnessing is not the evolution and progression of society.
Deuteronomy 22:5 A woman shall not wear man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God.
The Hebrew word for “abomination” is tow`ebah. God sees crossdressing as tow`ebah or detestable or disgusting. God was not impressed back in the day and He is not impressed in the 21st Century.
As I have stated in the past on this blog, these are God’s words. It is acknowledged, His words are offensive to segments of society. Eventually, His words are offensive to all of us if we are honest with ourselves. Please take your complaints and comments directly to Him. He will listen. He is a big boy. He can handle it.
Turn on the news. Get on the internet. Check out a social media outlet of your choosing. Today’s culture is on display as noted by the prophet Isaiah.
Isaiah 3:9 For the look on their faces bears witness against them; they proclaim their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have brought evil on themselves.

God will keep His promise in regards to the Rainbow Covenant. He will not destroy the Earth with a flood. God is not sitting around waiting to crush people like a little bug with His thumb. His desire is that people will change their minds and return to Him via the Son who died for all of us.
But eventually a time is coming. And He will use fire the next time. This will offend many. Judgment is coming…
2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be discovered.
2 Peter 3:4 …and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue just as they were from the beginning of creation.”
Congratulations to CNN, you as well as many others, continue to fulfill God’s word.
Titus 2:13 …waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ…
Apparently, those of us who believe in the rapture are causing mental trauma and anxiety to certain segments of our society.
Those who have experienced said anxieties call themselves “exvangelicals”. They have been exposed to “traumatic religious experiences”. They say it can take years or a lifetime to recover.
Mental health professionals call this “rapture anxiety”. Darren Slade, President/CEO of the Global Center for Religious Research was quoted. CNN claims Slade is a Baptist Preacher and religious scholar. Slade also believes in “modern rapture theory” which states the idea of the rapture was initiated in the 1800’s.
“This is a real thing. It’s a chronic problem. This is a new area of study, but in general, our research has revealed that religious trauma leads to an increase of anxiety, depression, paranoia and even some OCD-like behaviors: ‘I need to say this prayer of salvation so many times,’ ‘I need to confess my sins so often.’”
“Now imagine. You are taught that at any minute, you could be left here on Earth. What does that do to the teenager who just had premarital sex, or even simply took the Lord’s name in vain?”
To the critic who says the word “rapture” is not in the English translation of the Bible. Congratulations to the critic, you are correct. The word “rapture” is not in the English translated Bible. Hopefully this does not shake anyone’s faith. So where does the word “rapture” come?
For the answer, we have to go back to the fourth century. St. Jerome was commissioned by Pope Damasus in 382 AD to translate the Bible into the Latin language. St. Jerome translated the New Testament from the original Greek. The saint was the Pope’s secretary. He finished the translation before Damasus died in 384 AD. After the Pope’s death, St. Jerome moved to Bethlehem. By 405 AD, he had translated the Hebrew Bible or what we call the Old Testament. By the 13th century, St. Jerome’s translation had become the official Latin translation of the Bible for the Roman Catholic Church. The Latin translation of the Bible is called the Vulgate. The Vulgate is generally credited as the first translation of the Old Testament. http://www.Vulgate.org
This is how we get our Bible. Depending on the version or translation we read, the New Testament was translated from the original Greek. The Old Testament was by in large translated from the Hebrew language with the exception of a few chapters in Daniel and Ezra which are written in Aramaic. Sorry, the Bible was not originally commissioned and written in Old English from the King of England in the early 17th century.
The example for the word “rapture” comes from 1 Thessalonians 4:17. Jerome translated from the original Greek as written by the Apostle Paul. Below is the original Greek writing of the verse. The word in question is underlined in the Latin, Greek, and English versions.
Epistula Ad Thessalonicenses I – Chapter 4:17 deinde nos qui vivimus qui relinquimur simul rapiemur cum illis in nubibus obviam Domino in aera et sic semper cum Domino erimus.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. New American Standard Bible.
The English word “rapture” comes from “rapiemur” of the Latin translation of the Bible.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. The original Greek word for “caught up” is ηαρπαζο/harpazo. Per Strong’s Concordance it means: to seize, carry off by force, claim for one’s self eagerly, to snatch out or away.
Jesus will seize and claim eagerly for Himself those who believe in Him. Once believers are claimed, we are forever with Him. If the security of that verse is not enough…

Rapture Verses in the Bible
1 Corinthians 15:51-52 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
~
Genesis 5:21-24 Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah. Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.
~
2 Kings 2:11 As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven.
Elisha was not the only witness to this event. 2 Kings 2:7 Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan. The text says there were at least 51 others at the event site.
~
Isaiah 57:1-2 The righteous man perishes, and no man takes it to heart; and devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from evil, He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walked in his upright way.
~
Psalm 27:5 For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; in the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.
~
Isaiah 25:18 He will swallow up death for all time, and the Lord GOD will wipe tears away from all faces, and He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; for the LORD has spoken.
The context of these verses in Isaiah has the resurrection first and then there is this…
Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter into your rooms and close your doors behind you; hide for a little while until indignation runs its course.
~
Zephaniah 2:2-3 Before the decree takes effect. The day passes like the chaff. Before the burning anger of the Lord comes upon you, before the day of the Lord’s anger comes upon you.
Seek the Lord, all you humble of the earth who have carried out His ordinances; seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger.
Proverbs 22:8 Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of his fury will fail.
Czekmate has a number of complaints about this war of propaganda. It takes a discerning eye to get what appears to be truth out of it, from the Ukrainian side and (nearly as always) the Russian one.
Thoughts to consider via a pretentious self-Q&A — Are people dying? Surely.
Is there a humanitarian crisis? Unquestionably, based strictly on the amount a fear being generated among the population.
Are troops in contact? Seems to be the case if even the Russians will admit casualties.
Are the Ukrainians using the violence to mask international criminality under the pretense of Russian attack? Almost certainly evidence is being destroyed and made to look like battlefield violence. Anyone who’d have turned state’s evidence in relation to the Maidan Massacre, Hunter Biden/Burisma, or the bogus Ukraine impeachment scandal best be out of the country and have exfiltrated documents.
Are the Ukrainians effectively using their military aid donated to them by western states? Not sure, they are horrendously irresponsible weapons proliferators – if we see Javelins and Stingers on the international black arms market, we’ll a sign of profiteering. Remember Libya, that is how we ended up with Benghazi and weapons trafficking to Syria through Turkey.
Is the violence fueling internecine fighting in Ukraine? This was the case in Iraq, where tribes would open a fight against each other and try to draw in the coalition. There is likely some Ukrainian mafia infighting among the targets being struck. In other words, the combat becomes cover for the Ukrainian Mafia world to consolidate and realign power among the criminal groups.
This was the secret to Putin’s rise to power toward the tail end of the mafia criminal wars in Moscow and Saint Petersburg (1990s). Much of this fighting will have a component involving the reordering the Ukrainian underworld. This was the case in the second Chechen war and the Russian intervention in Georgia. In that way, the appearance of a crescendo in Russian violence needs to be considered.
Is Zelensky a hero like CNN/MSNBC/FOX says? Time will tell. He is riding a wave of international acclaim that is probably fueling some muted outrage in the Kremlin. For an information war, Ukraine and the International/DNC hacks are just showing the Russians that they can ‘play the game harder’.
In the case of Mr. Zelensky, having little/no experience in situations like this, he is way too cool. He would also do well to remember that other international figures of acclaim include Michael Avenati (thief), Yassir Arafat (terrorist) and Anthony Fauci (charges pending).
With that, read this daily dose of semi-truth and note the buried story lead of Mid-East Mercenaries (Ezekiel 38“Many nations with you” — that comes later… but keep it in mind).
Ezekiel 38:2-4 “Son of man, set your face against Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and bring you out with all your army—your horses, your horsemen in full armor, and a great company armed with shields and bucklers, all brandishing their swords.
With a pretty high degree of certainty, ancient Magog is likely modern day Russia.
Ukrainian government websites were hit with an unprecedented attack this past week. Tech experts believe Russia was likely responsible.
Russia is moving massive amounts of military hardware and troops on railway from the Eastern Military District west towards the Ukraine. It appears the equipment and troops are beginning to arrive near Ukraine.
We will look at geography and troop mobilization around Ukraine.
Russia is spending millions upon millions of rubles to move equipment and support troops. This is a seriously expensive logistical undertaking. And it will take millions of rubles to maintain these troops once they arrive at their destination.
For those who want to stay current with the news pouring out of the Middle East and events happening around Russia and Ukraine, follow Czekmate at ValorTube. Czekmate is dialed in with real world experience and understanding.
Are we watching the hook being set in Gog of Magog’s jaw? Is Vladimir Putin Gog? Are we witnessing the moment when Gog begins to move his massive military towards the Middle East and ultimately Israel?
Lastly, there was a significant underwater volcanic explosion near Tonga. The blast measured close to 7.4 on the Richter scale. The Pacific was put under Tsunami warnings. Significant damage was done locally in and around Tonga. 4 foot waves even reached with west coast of the United States from thousands of miles away.

Siberia, September 23, 2020: Sergei Torop or “Vissarion the Teacher” or “Jesus of Siberia” has been arrested. Vissarion is the leader of the Church of the Last Testament and the reincarnate Christ. He was charged with psychological abuse.
Torop was previously a police officer in the old Soviet Union. He lost his job when the Soviet Union went out of business.
1 John 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.
“I am not God. And it is a mistake to see Jesus as God. But I am the living word of God the father. Everything that God wants to say, he says through me.” -Vissarion, The Guardian, 2002.
Strict veganism was enforced on the compound so no miracles of fish. Living conditions were poor with limited medical care and suicides.
The Russian government for their part was taking no chances. Special forces, just in case, were sent in to arrest “Jesus of Siberia”. Hooded, armed troops and military helicopters were utilized to secure Vissarion and two of his followers.
Granted, there have not been any miracles attributed to this fellow in Siberia. But don’t kid yourself. One is coming who will be most impressive and deceptive.
Matthew 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
Jonah 1:17 And the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah 2:10 And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
So you think Jonah is a little fairy tale or story???
Matthew 12:40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

We are a community that shares a living, daring confidence in God’s grace. This faith comes through the good news of Jesus Christ and gives us the freedom and the courage to wonder, discover and boldly participate in what God is up to in the world. We welcome you to participate in this community of faith –regardless of your age, race, gender, life experience, complexities and questions. You have a unique story that can only add to the richness of the larger story that makes up Castle Church. There is a place for you here!
The point of this post is not to bash and shame this local church. It is not all bad. It is not all right by Christ either.
I am not opposed to drinking. I have been known to drink an adult beverage or two. Can a person come to know the saving power of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ over an alcoholic beverage? Sure they can.
John 2:6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
For all the teetotalers out there, Jesus is throwing one hell of a party. Jesus subjected a wedding party to 120-180 gallons of wine. And He kept the good stuff (120-180 gallons) for the end of the party after the people have drunk freely. See John 2 for the complete story.
Colossians 3:9-11 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its Creator. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
The church claims to be a “Reconciling in Christ” congregation. By their definition… Castle Church openly and unambiguously affirms persons and couples of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions.
It is one thing to welcome people from all social, ethnic, sexual orientation, gender identification, and diverse backgrounds. It is another to condone sinful behavior. The culture has it wrong when they equate sexual behavior (regardless of the age, orientation, and context) apart from Biblical marriage as “love”.
Matthew 19:4-5 He (Jesus) answered, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?…
God loves the sinner; but He does not condone or love the sinful behavior. Do not kid yourself. We are called to change our behavior as a new creation in Jesus Christ. He died and paid the fine for all deviant sin. Yes, any sin is deviant regardless of how small we humans view it. His resurrection demonstrates He has power over sin and death. Christ’s efforts for sin are not to be twisted or mocked.
Would it be a good idea to bring a non believer or a brother or sister in Christ who struggles with alcohol or chemical addiction to this local body? One can study the Bible over a beer. Will anyone be accountable to another if somebody is drinking too much? They have “connect groups”. They have a great selection of draughts. How much is too much? And who decides? Look forward to deep theological discussions over a beer(s).
Is this group building up the body of Christ? One can participate in yoga and share a beer later. They have volunteer groups participating in the community. Wear trendy “swag” while representing the church. A calendar of events is on display for all to join.
Genesis 1:27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

This is where we are relative to God’s word…
The following commentary is from the setting that is The Heritage Foundation. Yes, this occurred at a home of conservative political thought. The Heritage Foundation is one of the nation’s most influential institutions for conservative thinking. Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Rush Limbaugh… you get the idea.
Pay close attention. The content required multiple re readings. For those not versed in these issues, this can be a little confusing…
Kara Dansky was invited by The Heritage Foundation to speak on a panel. Ms. Dansky is a self proclaimed feminist lawyer and spokeswoman for Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF). She is not a lesbian.
Ms. Dansky’s concern… Transgender Activism is anti woman and anti lesbian. She is calling on men to stand up to Transgender Activism.
REUTERS/Kostas Tsironis
Other members of the panel included Hasci Horvath. Hasci, originally a man, identified as a woman and had surgery. Horvath had an interesting observation.
“And it’s really shocking how many men on the internet are defending the whole trans thing. Straight men are all about the trans, and you have to wonder what the heck is going on.” -Hasci Horvath
Another panel member was Julia Beck. Julia is a lesbian and former member of the Baltimore mayor’s LGBTQ Commission. Ms. Beck encountered the semantic police in a very harsh way. She was booted from the Baltimore LGBTQ Commission. Her violation, inappropriate use of pronouns…
“I got kicked off of the Baltimore mayor’s LGBTQ commission, as the only lesbian, simply for stating biological facts. I was found guilty of ‘violence.’ My crime? Using male pronouns to talk about a convicted male rapist who identifies as transgender and prefers female pronouns.”
“The man who led my inquisition also identifies as ‘transgender.’ He is the president of the Baltimore Transgender Alliance and claims to be a lesbian.” -Julia Beck
The following is from PJMedia.com assistant editor Tyler O’Neil. There are multiple video clips from Mr. O’Neil at his Twitter feed regarding this conference. Below is a sample.
“The meeting made one thing crystal clear: Inclusivity means all voices are welcome, except women’s, except lesbians’. Everything is about the T now, entirely eclipsing the L, G, and B. The T is diametrically opposed to the first three letters in the acronym, and especially to the L.” -Julia Beck

Amos 8:9 “And on that day,” declares the Lord GOD, “I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight.”
July 25, 2018: And the lights went out in Russia… in the middle of the day. And this is Newsweek reporting! The sky went dark as night from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the middle of the day. The event took place in Siberian Russia in the Yakutia region.

“When the sun fell out of sight people started phoning the local administration. Many, especially older people, got spooked. It did not come immediately but gradually. The sun was not visible from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the day. We went out on the street especially for it, which many can confirm. Now we don’t even know what to think. We do not have any specialists and the rumors keep multiplying.” Konstantin Starostin, head of Nizhne-Bytantaysk.
“It was around 11 in the morning and the house was pitch dark. Nothing was visible without electricity. Everyone was walking around with torches on. There was no wind. Being out in the street was impossible.”
“How can something cover the sun so that it is not visible? Only a lunar (eclipse) is likely to and if that is the case that this issue is not for us. We do not observe for solar eclipses,” Yuri Degterenko, Deputy Head of the Weather Board’s Environmental Monitoring Group.
“If it was smog from fires, people would know. There would be smoke and a burning smell. Our meteorological stations did not trace such a thing.”
“It was overcast in general so maybe some dark cloud blocked the sun but it could be something that was not a cloud. There was no rain after that,” Yevgeny Potapov, Head of Verkhoyansk.
Russia’s weather agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the matter.
Amos 8:9 “And on that day,” declares the Lord GOD, “I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight.”
Is this the fulfillment of Amos 8? I don’t think so. The context of the verse is the Lord pronouncing judgment on Israel. I take it this event will ultimately be fulfilled in Israel during a period of judgment.
But don’t kid yourself… This event shows the scenario is possible. It happened just like the verse declared.
