For Signs and for Seasons:

Today in western circles everything seems to symbolize something as more time is spent on analyzing the symbolic meaning rather than the practical application of Scripture. However when it comes to the places where signs are prescribed as a warning in the text, it is often ignored...

So here today darkness will fall upon America such that has never been seen before by anyone living today. Then who will grasp the meaning of this symbolic gesture?

Do (((YOU))) get the meaning?

Amos 8:
9“And it shall be in that day,” declares the Master יהוה, “that I shall cause the sun to go down at noon, and shall darken the earth on a day of brightness,
10and shall turn your festivals into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation, and bring sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head, and shall make it like mourning for an only son, and its end like a day of bitterness.
11“See, days are coming,” declares the Master יהוה, “that I shall send a hunger in the land, not a hunger for bread, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the Words of יהוה.
12“And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east – they shall diligently search, seeking the Word of יהוה, but they shall not find it.(See Jer. 5:13; Hosea 8:12; Ezek. 34:3-10)
13“In that day the beautiful maidens and strong young men shall faint from thirst,
14those swearing by the guilt of Shomeron, who say, ‘As your mighty one lives, O Dan!’ and, ‘As the way of Be’ĕrsheḇa lives!’ And they shall fall and never rise again.”

Yo’ĕl (Joel) 2
10The earth shall tremble before them, the heavens shall shake. Sun and moon shall be darkened, and the stars withdraw their brightness.
11And יהוה shall give forth His voice before His army, for His camp is very great, for mighty is the doer of His word. For the day of יהוה is great and very awesome, and who does bear it?
12“Yet even now,” declares יהוה, “turn to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”
13And tear your heart and not your garments, and turn back to יהוה your Elohim, for He shows favour and is compassionate, patient, and of great loving-commitment, and He shall relent concerning the evil.

Yo’ĕl (Joel) 3
14Crowds, crowds in the valley of decision! For the day of יהוה is near in the valley of decision.
15Sun and moon shall become dark, and stars shall withdraw their brightness.
16And יהוה shall roar from Tsiyon, and give forth His voice from Yerushalayim. And the heavens and earth shall shake, but יהוה shall be a refuge for His people...

FYI: The darkness at the crucifixion has been ascribed to an eclipse ( Matthew 27:45 ); however, at the time of Pesach the moon would have to have been full, and therefore a Lunar / Solar eclipse of the sun, was not likely.
