In the context of Joel, it reflects the Day of the Lord, a time of God's decisive action in history. Similar imagery is found in other prophetic books, such as <a href="/isaiah/13-10.htm">Isaiah 13:10</a> and <a href="/ezekiel/32-7.htm">Ezekiel 32:7</a>, where celestial disturbances accompany God's judgment on nations. This darkness can also be seen as a reversal of creation, where God initially brought light into the world. It signifies a period of chaos and divine displeasure, often preceding restoration and renewal.<p><b>and the stars will no longer shine</b><br>The cessation of the stars' light further emphasizes the totality of the cosmic upheaval during the Day of the Lord. This imagery is echoed in the New Testament, particularly in the eschatological discourse of Jesus in <a href="/matthew/24-29.htm">Matthew 24:29</a>, where similar signs precede His second coming. The darkening of the stars can symbolize the removal of guidance and order, as stars were often used for navigation and marking time in ancient cultures. This celestial blackout underscores the severity of God's judgment and the transition from the current age to a new divine order.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/joel.htm">Joel</a></b><br>A prophet in the Old Testament, Joel is the author of the book that bears his name.

It challenges us to be attentive to the ways God communicates His plans and purposes.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/hope_amidst_judgment.htm">Hope Amidst Judgment</a></b><br>While the imagery of darkness can be daunting, it also points to the hope of restoration and renewal for those who trust in God. Believers are encouraged to find hope in God's ultimate plan for redemption.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/living_in_readiness.htm">Living in Readiness</a></b><br>The prophetic imagery calls Christians to live in a state of readiness, anticipating Christ's return and the fulfillment of God's promises.

The densely packed masses are already in the valley of decision, awaiting the judgment about to be executed upon them. But before the judgment actually bursts upon them, and in preparation for it, the sky is overcast; darkness, as a portent of the approaching storm, envelops them; the lights of heaven are put out. The pitchy darkness of a night in which neither moon nor stars appear is sufficiently dismal and awful; still more terrible, if possible, is darkness in the daytime, when the light of the sun is turned into blackness. The first accompaniment of the storm is addressed to the eye, and consists in the extinguishing of the greater light which rules the day, and the lesser lights which rule the night. The next accompaniment of the coming tempest is addressed to the ear, and consists in the voice of the Lord rolling in terrific peals along the heavens - the voice of the Lord like the roaring of a lion ready to pounce upon its prey: the utterance of the Divine voice when the God of glory thundereth. The third accompaniment is yet more awe-inspiring., consisting in a convulsion that pervades both earth and sky; the whole frame of nature shakes; the earthquake's shock, so frightful to bird and beast and man, has a corresponding agitation in the heavens. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/joel/3-15.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">The sun</span><br /><span class="heb">שֶׁ֥מֶשׁ</span> <span class="translit">(še·meš)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8121.htm">Strong's 8121: </a> </span><span class="str2">The sun, the east, a ray, a notched battlement</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and moon</span><br /><span class="heb">וְיָרֵ֖חַ</span> <span class="translit">(wə·yā·rê·aḥ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3394.htm">Strong's 3394: </a> </span><span class="str2">The moon</span><br /><br /><span class="word">grow dark,</span><br /><span class="heb">קָדָ֑רוּ</span> <span class="translit">(qā·ḏā·rū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6937.htm">Strong's 6937: </a> </span><span class="str2">To be ashy, darkcolored, to mourn</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and the stars</span><br /><span class="heb">וְכוֹכָבִ֖ים</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ḵō·w·ḵā·ḇîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3556.htm">Strong's 3556: </a> </span><span class="str2">A star, a prince</span><br /><br /><span class="word">no longer</span><br /><span class="heb">אָסְפ֥וּ</span> <span class="translit">(’ā·sə·p̄ū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_622.htm">Strong's 622: </a> </span><span class="str2">To gather for, any purpose, to receive, take away, remove</span><br /><br /><span class="word">shine.</span><br /><span class="heb">נָגְהָֽם׃</span> <span class="translit">(nā·ḡə·hām)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5051.htm">Strong's 5051: </a> </span><span class="str2">Brilliancy</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/joel/3-15.htm">Joel 3:15 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/joel/3-15.htm">Joel 3:15 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/joel/3-15.htm">Joel 3:15 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/joel/3-15.htm">Joel 3:15 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/joel/3-15.htm">Joel 3:15 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/joel/3-15.htm">Joel 3:15 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/joel/3-15.htm">Joel 3:15 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/joel/3-15.htm">Joel 3:15 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/joel/3-15.htm">Joel 3:15 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/joel/3-15.htm">Joel 3:15 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/joel/3-15.htm">OT Prophets: Joel 3:15 The sun and the moon are darkened (Jl Joe.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/joel/3-14.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Joel 3:14"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Joel 3:14" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/joel/3-16.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Joel 3:16"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Joel 3:16" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
