Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

13:10 sun shall be darkened. This prophecy of fearful signs in the heavens (Matthew 24:29) with darkening of the sun (Revelation 6:12) is to be fulfilled in the future days of tribulation judgment on the earth. As often the case in these prophecies of the Old Testament, the vision blends both precursive and ultimate judgments together.


13:13 earth shall remove. The ultimate fulfillment of this prophecy has to do with the final destruction of rebuilt Babylon in the last days (Revelation 16:17-21; Haggai 2:6).
