WHEN DARKNESS FALLS

      In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.  And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.  And God said, Let there be light:  and there was light.  (Genesis 1: 1-3) 

      And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.  And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:  They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days:  but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.  (Exodus 10: 21-23)

   While Jesus was on the cross in Jerusalem, there was darkness for three hours:
      And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.  (Mark 15: 33)

   At a certain time in the future and on a certain day, something spectacular will happen upon the earth:
      Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.   (Matthew 24: 29-30)

   When darkness falls, evil arises, at which time people live wickedly:  believing that their sins are hidden under the veil of darkness; for darkness is the house of evil.
   Evil is presently consuming the world, nation by nation, and at a future time evil will close its door with people trapped in a world of evil---not knowing, nor believing, that Almighty God will turn on the light and catch them in their evil ways, for man's time upon the earth will be over, after which comes the judgment seat of God, and Christ will preside as Judge.
      And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.  (Revelation 20: 11)
