Sun and moon don't give out any of their light, and thus no heat from the sun:-
Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became blackas sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Then two-thirds of the light from the sun etc is restored, along with the resultant heat:-
Rev 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
Then light is restored to all of the sun, and Christ's great anger and vengeance strikes the earth as great heat from the sun [see 1:16] :-
Rev 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
Rev 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
AnswerThis prophecy is flawed. The moon does not emit its own light. It will never happen.
AnswerComments on "This prophecy is flawed" :-
No prophecy is flawed when The Bible is used to interpret the Bible: if you do not think that God says what He means and means what He says, if you prefer to believe someone else's interpretation rather than what God says in the plain Word of God, if you think it is "flawed" because it is not humanly possible so you don't think God can cause it to happen, then you have bigger problems than this prophecy.
" The moon does not emit its own light" :-
Very true - it does not, but when you read any verse and see the tiny word "as", it almost always means there is some significent comparison or statement coming , and is often prophetic (but not always: still, how long is a piece of string?). Just because the physical world is as it is now does not mean that it will not change in the future. Do not get it the wrong way around: it is not prophecy that has to conform to the world, but the world that has to conform to prophecy. (Anyway, who knows if in the future the moon will give out heat like the sun as well as reflecting more light ? )
"It will never happen. ":-
When you are talking about prophecy, just because something is not humanly possible, or the the odds on the liklelihood of it happening are absolutely astronomical, means absolutely nothing whatsoever. When God says that something will happen, to God that particular event is already in the past-tense - to God it has already occurred. To believe otherwise is to call God a liar and to reject God.
"Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold,"
If the light of the sun becomes seven times brighter, then the light of the moon will also become brighter, so it is definitely possible.

What scriptures have the word road in it?
Matthew 3 v3 Matthew 7 v14 Matthew 22 v9 Matthew 10 v5 13 v4 20v17 acts 8 v26 mark 11v8
Why were the followers of Jesus first called Christians in Antioch Turkey and not in Jerusalem Acts 11 v26?
In Jerusalem, it was more of a Jewish base. Antioch was one of the most evangelical of the early churches, so it probably started there because of the missionary vision of that church. The label was probably used to differentiate it from Judaism. Remember in the early church, Jews were trying to get new Christians to keep the law etc and believe the new gospel. This is seen in the book of Galatians in the New Testament.
What are the Bible's failed prophecies?
Some critics argue that prophecies such as the imminent return of Jesus in the first century did not materialize. Additionally, some interpretations of Old Testament prophecies regarding the establishment of Israel suggest discrepancies with historical events. However, interpretations of prophecies can vary widely among religious scholars and believers.
What was Luke's special title for Jesus?
1. it depends what bible version you use King James, NIV2. Luke some times called Jesus Jesus or He with a capitial H orhe would call Jesus Rabbi(master)Luke's special title for Jesus was 'Son of Man' as typified in one of the key verses in the whole Gospel:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. This title is Luke's way of stressing the human and yet divine person who was Jesus Christ. The people of the time, and certainly Bible students of today can see a clear reference here to the 'Son of Man' in Daniel, clearly a divine figure.13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. Some examples of the use of this title occur in Luke 6 v 5, 6 v22, 7 v34, 9 v22, 9 v26, 9 v44, 9 v 56, 9v58, 11 v 30, 12 v 8, 12 v 10, 12 v 40 etc. A good concordance will provide more.Luke also uses the title Son of God, but this is also used elsewhere so is not particularly special to Luke.
Why even though Josiah did all that God asked of him God still punished him and all Jerusalem for the acts of his grandfather 2Kings 23 v26?
God promised He would punish Jerusalem and Judah for the evil King Manasseh (Josiah's grandfather) had done:-2Ki 21:11-17 ISV-v2.0 "Because King Manasseh of Judah has committed these despicable things, acting more sinfully than did all of the Amorites who preceded him, including making Judah sin with its idols, [v. 12] therefore this is what the LORD God of Israel says: 'Look! I'm going to bring such a disaster to Jerusalem and Judah that both ears of those who hear about it will ring. [v. 13] I'll stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line that is Samaria and the plumb line that is Ahab's dynasty. Then I'll wipe Jerusalem like one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down! [v. 14] I will abandon the survivors of my heritage and hand them over to their enemies. They will become war booty and spoil to all of their enemies [v. 15] because they have done what I consider to be evil and they have provoked me from the day their ancestors left Egypt right up to this day!'" [v. 16] In addition to this, Manasseh shed lots of innocent blood - until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, besides his sin by which he caused Judah to sin by practicing what the LORD considered to be evil. [v. 17] The rest of Manasseh's deeds, including everything that he accomplished and the sin that he practiced, are recorded in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah, are they not?Josiah was greatly distressed at this coming punishment, but God said he was not going to witness it because he was right before God:-2Ch 34:14 While they were bringing out the money that had come in as gifts to the LORD's temple, Hilkiah the priest discovered the Book of the Law of the LORD that had been handed down by Moses.2Ch 34:19 As soon as [Josiah] heard what the Law said, he tore his clothes [note: a traditional sign of great distress].2Ch 34:21 [Josiah said] "Go ask the LORD for me and for those who survive in Israel and in Judah about the words that we've read in this book that we found, because the wrath of the LORD that we deserve to have poured out on us is very great, since our ancestors haven't obeyed the word of the LORD that required us to do everything that is written in this book."2Ch 34:24-28 ISV-v2.0 "This is what the LORD says: 'Pay attention! I'm bringing evil to visit this place and its inhabitants - every single curse written in the book that they've been reading to the King of Judah. [v. 25] Because they abandoned me and have burned incense to other gods,provoking me to become angry at everything they're doing, therefore my wrath is about to be poured out on this place, and it won't be quenched.'"' [v. 26] "Now tell the king of Judah [Josiah] who sent you to ask the LORD about this: 'This is what the LORD God of Israel says about what you've heard: [v. 27] "Because your heart was sensitive, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard what he had to say about this place and its inhabitants - indeed, because you humbled yourself before me, tore your clothes, and cried out to me, I have heard you," declares the LORD. [v. 28] "Look! I'm going to take you to your ancestors, and you will be buried in your grave in peace so that you won't have to see all the evil that I'm going to bring to his place and to its inhabitants."'" So they all brought back this message to the king.2Ki 23:25-28 ISV-v2.0 There had been no king like him before him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his strength, in obeying everything in the law of Moses. No king arose like Josiah after him. [v. 26] Even so, the LORD did not turn away from his fierce and great angerthat burned against Judah because of everything with which Manasseh had provoked him. [v. 27] The LORD said, "I'm going to remove Judah from my sight as well, just as I've removed Israel. I will abandon Jerusalem, this city that I've chosen, as well as the temple about which I've spoken 'My Name shall remain there.'" [v. 28] Now the rest of Josiah's actions, including everything that he did, are recorded in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah, are they not?If you are forgiven, like Manasseh, you can't undo what has been done or the results of your actions. There are consequences to every action even if, like Josiah, they occur through no fault of your own, .
