Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Luke 23 NIV
27 A large number of people followed him, including women
who mourned and wailed for him.
28 Jesus turned and said to them,
“Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.
29For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’
30 Then
“‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!”
and to the hills, “Cover us!”’
Hosea 10:8 NIV
8 The high places of wickedness
[a] will be destroyed—
it is the sin of Israel.
Thorns and thistles will grow up
and
cover their altars.
Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!”
and to the hills, “Fall on us!”
The stars get wiped from the heavens, the sun goes out, and the moon turns blood red. No stars is a pretty big event I would say along with the sun going out.
Isaiah 13 NIV
5 They come from faraway lands,
from the ends of the heavens—
the Lord and the weapons of his wrath—
to destroy the whole
country.
6 Wail, for the day of the Lord is near;
it will come like destruction from the Almighty.
[a]
7 Because of this, all hands will go limp,
every heart will melt with fear.
8 Terror will seize them,
pain and anguish will grip them;
they will writhe like a woman in labor.
They will look aghast at each other,
their faces aflame.
9 See,
the day of the Lord is coming
—a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger—
to make the land desolate
and destroy the sinners within it.
10 The stars of heaven and their constellations
will not show their light.
The rising sun will be darkened
and the moon will not give its light.
11 I will punish the
world for its evil,
the wicked for their sins.
13 Therefore I will make the
heavens tremble;
and the earth will shake from its place
at the wrath of the Lord Almighty,
in the day of his burning anger
19Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms,
the pride and glory of the
Babylonians,[b] [Chaldeans]
will be overthrown by God
like Sodom and Gomorrah.
So who is the above scripture talking about and when did it take place? The 1st verse tells us.....
Isaiah 13
1. A
prophecy against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw:
We are here a prophecy against Babylon, which was done just as God said, they were destroyed, there were others as you know against Tyre and others. The wording of sun, moon, stars is familiar to judgment prophecies. Darkness, etc.
We also see this judgment against Babylon is called
the Day of the Lord. When God brings judgment it is called the Day of Lord.
That does not mean that it is the final Last Day of the Lord.
First this prophecy says, Babylon, then country, then world, then earth, then Babylon again.
So is this prophecy about Babylon (where the Israelites were taken slaves) or the whole world?
I am not sure where you got this.........or who says that.
Tim LaHaye, Tom Ice for just two of the dispensationalist. I have to give them credit for their honesty. Many do not admit this, including the AoG church where I studied Revelation from a college coarse from a Christian College, I can't remember which one, it's been over 30 years ago, now.
It's in the prophecies in Ezekiel. There are
blood sacrifices for atonement. These are prophecies that are used about the 1,000 reign.
When someone pointed this out to me a few months ago, I didn't know this either. So I searched the scriptures and there it was. How did I miss this? I was following a book and a teaching written by a man, not God's Word.
If one makes these blood sacrifices for atonement only symbolic then the rest should only be symbolic right? Not literal.

A common objection to the consistent literal interpretation of Bible prophecy is
found in Ezekiel’s Temple vision (Ezek. 40—48). Opponents argue that if this is a
literal, future Temple, then it will require a return to the sacrificial system that Christ
made obsolete since the prophet speaks of “atonement” (kiper) in Ezekiel 43:13, 27;
45:15, 17, 20. This is true! Critics believe this to be a blasphemous contradiction to the
finished work of Christ as presented in Hebrews 10. [and I agree]
The millennium will return history to a time when Israel will be God’s mediatory
people but will also continue to be a time in which sin will be present upon the earth.
Thus, God will include a new Temple, a new priesthood, a new Law, etc., at this future
time because He will be present in Israel and still desires to teach that holiness is
required to approach Him. This is contrasted with the fact that no Temple will exist in
eternity (Rev. 21:22) because God and the Lamb are the Temple since there will be no
sin in heaven, thus no need for ritual cleansing. [sin is present right now, Jesus said we can approach, the vail was torn, it's going back up?]
