Comment
What a remarkable prophecy! The sun will darken at noon during broad daylight. Amos predicted this somewhere between 760 and 753 B.C. The sky would darken and it did happen during Jesus' death. Not only do the gospels say it actually happened but secular scientists and historians knew it occurred and sought a natural physical explanation. This is a significant prophecy.
