Joel 3:15

The sun and moon shall be darkened ,.... Both the politic and ecclesiastic state of antichrist shall be ruined and destroyed; it shall "fare" with Rome Papal as it did with Rome Pagan, at the time of its dissolution; see Revelation 6:12 ;

and the stars shall withdraw their shining : antichristian princes and nobles in the civil state, and the clergy of all ranks in the church state, shall lose their glory.
