Mark 15:33-39, Amos 8:9, Joel 2:31
Darkness covering the earth at the death of Jesus fulfilled the prophecy and revealed how profound the nature of Jesus' sacrifice was.
The darkness is seen as mourning, indicating a great sorrow and grief felt at the death of Jesus by the Father because of sin. This was the situation we found ourselves till Jesus waged war on death and defeated sin in darkness.
As we journey through, let ponder on the significance of these happenings and what they symbolize and pray for deeper insight into the plan of God for salvation. And as in Amos, the bible described a day of darkness and mourning before the coming of the day of the Lord, so are we're in wait of the coming of the day of Lord. Shalom!
