Matthew Poole and continuators on Joel 3:15

15 The sun and the moon shall be darkned, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

Vid. cap. 2. ver. 10. let. d, e, f, g. when God doth in the valley of decision punish any of the Kingdoms which persecuted and opprest his Church, the punishment shall be so great as to darken the glory of such Kingdoms, it shall be to the utter overthrow of those Kingdoms and Governments, and so it was effected on Babylon by the Mede and Persian; so on this by the Grecians and on them by their intestine wars, and by the Romans at last on these, and on the Murtherers of Messiah.
