The Three Days of Darkness in Biblical Prophecy

This prophecy is not anything new – even though it is treated with much suspicion by many sources. Even Our Lady’s prophecies are viewed with suspicion. Fatima is the most accepted, but its impact has waned. Even as a child and teenager before Vatican II, I don’t remember priests speaking about apparitions. One pope said (Pope John XXIII) that the messages (regarding the Third Secret  being revealed in 1960) were not for our time.

Jesus sent His Mother to warn us over and over again – we can’t say we didn’t know. The prophecies about Apostasy in the Church, the Third Secret still sitting in No Mans Land, the errors of Communism and the “abomination of desolation” all revealed to us by our Blessed Mother, are still not widely acknowledged, even though some of these are glaringly obvious and which we have been living through these last few years.

Finally, people are taking note of the Warning/Illumination of Conscience and the Great Apostasy, perhaps even the Antichrist, but the “three days of darkness” are viewed with suspicion.

In the messages of the Jesus to Mankind Mission (the Book of Truth, Jesus has revealed to us many aspects of the messages already given to us over hundreds of years by Our Mother in Heaven and the saints and prophets. God has never punished the human race without warning us first. These messages clarify, encourage, warn, and reveal to us many aspects hereto unknown.

Jesus fights for His people. Messages about Paganism in the Church, the False Prophet, the “resignation” of Pope Benedict XVI were all revealed to us well ahead of time in the Book of Truth. The Book of Truth is all-encompassing, but seems to focus on what will happen first – the Apostasy, the Warning, the War, and the Antichrist, but it also mentions the ”Three Days of Darkness”.  There is only so much information we can take in. I am sure, that the messages, (which ended in June 2015) will recommence and Jesus will feed us more information, as needed when the time is right. God knows!  He will give us more information and warnings when  we need His Help. We are His beloved children. We can depend only on Him. He will guide us through the days of darkness, and towards the new kingdom of Heaven and earth – the era of peace.

The Three days of Darkness in Scripture:

From the New Testament:

Luke 21:25 -27

“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.”

Matthew 24: 29:

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken”.

In Matthew 12:38, Jesus refers to the Sign of Jonah

³⁸ Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”

³⁹ He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. ⁴⁰ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. ⁴¹ The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here.

In this passage, Jesus explains the “sign of Jonah”. It is a sign of Salvation – first The repentance of the inhabitants of Nineveh; then again for us when Jesus was in the sepulchre for 3 days and nights.

Matthew 27:45.

Then from the sixth hour, there was darkness over the entire earth, until the ninth hour.

Mk 15:33

And when the sixth hour came, there was darkness throughout all the earth, until the ninth hour.

Luke 23:44

But it was almost the sixth hour, and there was darkness in the entire earth, until the ninth hour.

From the Old Testament:

Genesis 1:14

“Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years“. 

God is separating day from night. This Scripture tells us that this would be a sign, not just for seasons, but for days and years. The three days of darkness will be the darkness of the times we live in that separate us from the days of “the new heavens and earth” that will follow.

Exodus 10:21-23 tells us of the ninth plague that was cast on the Egyptians and their Pharaoh, when Moses was trying to lead his people from the darkness of slavery to the promised land.

“Then the Lord said to Moses: Extend your hand toward heaven. And may there be darkness upon the land of Egypt, so dense that it may be felt. And Moses extended his hand toward heaven. And a horrible darkness occurred in all the land of Egypt for three days. No one saw his brother, nor moved himself from the place where he was. But wherever the sons of Israel lived, there was light.”

Joel 2:10

“Before them the earth shakes, the sky trembles, the sun and the moon are darkened and the stars no longer shine.”

Joel 2:30-31

” I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD”

Isaiah 13: 9-11 The prophet Isaiah also spoke of a day of darkness:

“Behold, the day of the Lord shall come, a cruel day, and full of indignation, and of wrath, and fury, to lay the land desolate, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven, and their brightness shall not display their light: the sun shall be darkened in his rising, and the moon shall not shine with her light. And I will visit the evils of the world, and against the wicked for their iniquity: and I will make the pride of infidels to cease, and will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty.”

This seems to be most appropriate to the Three Days of Darkness for our times: God will bring an end to the evils of this world and punish the wicked and “ bring down the arrogancy of the mighty”. It also mirrors what Jesus tells us in the Gospels – that God uses signs in the heavens.

And finally, there is the Book of Apocalypse ( Revelation) – also refers to signs reflected by the sun, moon and stars.

Revelation 6:12

“I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red.”

Revelation 8:12

“And the fourth angel sounded, and a third part of the sun was smitten, and a third part of the moon and a third part of the stars, so that a third part of them was darkened; and a third of the day shone not, and the night likewise.”

In my mind, there is no doubt about the three days of darkness.
