The phenomenon of the dark day is a historical fact; <br /> A sign to all biblical students Jesus is coming back; <br /> Coming to take the redeemed of the earth home; <br /> Who were once pilgrims and strangers no longer to roam; <br /> <br /> Read Matthew Chapter 24 and verse 29; <br /> You will find the dark day prophesied--sublime; <br /> On May 19, 1780 this prophecy was fulfilled; <br /> Exactly as prophesied, after many Christians were killed; <br /> <br /> The day gradually grew dark and the sun would not give light; <br /> Anxiety and awe filled people's mind with fright; <br /> Everything was stopped as workers, school children and travelers fled home; <br /> Fowls retired to their roosts and went to sleep, birds sang their evening song; <br /> <br /> Humans knew that night had not come and managed the home by candle light; <br /> An hour or two before evening in a partially clear sky was eerie sun light; <br /> Read Joel Chapter 2 and verse 31; <br /> "...before the great and terrible day of the Lord come."; <br /> <br /> "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood"; <br /> With this prophecy fulfilled once it should be understood; <br /> The Saviour pointed out to His followers the signs of His return; <br /> So we would take heed, watch and pray, be ready--discern.<br /><br />Bernice Hooks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-dark-day-2/
