The Day of the Lord Occurs After the Great Tribulation Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the distress of those days (the Great Tribulation) the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. (30) At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. (31) And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
Joel 2:31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful Day of the LORD.
