Isaiah13:10

10 For the stars of heaven, and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkned in his going forth , and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

Which consist of many Stars, and therefore give a greater light.

Either, 1. properly and really, by an Eclipse; for Prodigies in Heaven do sometimes go before or accompany great and publick Calamities upon Earth: or, 2. figuratively, and in appearance. All things shall look darkly and dismally; men shall have no comfort nor hope. See the like Descriptions of a most calamitous State, Isa. 5. 30. & 34. 4. Ioel 2. 10, 31, &c.

As soon as he riseth, when he is most welcom to men, and giveth them hopes of a pleasant Day. As soon as they have any appearance or hope of amendment, they shall be instantly disappointed.

Marginal references: Ezek. 32. 7. Joel. 2. 31. & 3. 15. Mat. 24. 29. Mar. 13. 24. Luk. 21. 25.
