Revelation 8:12 Commentary and Bible Study

In Egypt the ninth plague involved the taking away of light for three days, and the consternation and it upset that that caused. This is about heavenly disturbances in the skies, the disturbances of good influences. The sun – that is good – the moon and the stars are somehow going to become our enemies when God determines a catastrophe or consternation for us. The materialist rejects God’s existence, and attributes everything that happens to natural causes. He looks to the sun and the light from it as the source of life on which he is dependant. Very well, God will judge him by touching those objects in the skies which he exalts in the place of God. They will no longer function as they were originally created to function, and man will be troubled.This may have something to do with massive ecological changes, changes in the weather. Man blames entirely human activity; he doesn’t recognise God. And for all I know he may be largely right in that. But it is God who allows it. It’s God who so orders the universe that man’s excessive activities could have such an effect. Ultimately, it’s God, if there is some catastrophe or disaster in weather patterns and systems – all to do the sun and the moon and stars.
