The prophets keep talking about this terrible day in the future called “the day of the Lord“. They say it will be a dark day: Isaiah says the sun will be darkened and the moon and stars won’t show their light. Similarly, Joel says the sun and moon will be darkened and the stars won’t shine. And Amos says that day will be darkness and not light, pitch-dark without a ray of brightness.

And then there’s Zechariah, who says there will not be cold, frosty darkness on the day of the Lord. He says there won’t be sunlight, but there will be light, even in the evening!
