Acts 2:20

20 sol convertetur in tenebras et luna in sanguinem antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et manifestus

Acts 2:20 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 2:20

The sun shall be turned into darkness
As at the death of Christ, by a total eclipse of it:

and the moon into blood;
as at the opening of the sixth seal, ( Revelation 6:12 )

before that great and notable day of the Lord come;
when he shall come in power and great glory, as he did in a few years after this, to take vengeance on the Jews, and destroy their nation, city, and temple; in which there was a display of his greatness, and power, and which was awful and "terrible" to them, as in Joel it is called; (See Gill on Matthew 24:29).

Acts 2:20 In-Context

18 et quidem super servos meos et super ancillas meas in diebus illis effundam de Spiritu meo et prophetabunt

19 et dabo prodigia in caelo sursum et signa in terra deorsum sanguinem et ignem et vaporem fumi

20 sol convertetur in tenebras et luna in sanguinem antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et manifestus

21 et erit omnis quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini salvus erit

22 viri israhelitae audite verba haec Iesum Nazarenum virum adprobatum a Deo in vobis virtutibus et prodigiis et signis quae fecit per illum Deus in medio vestri sicut vos scitis
