THE BLACKOUT

Earth quakes...
When the lights go out 
They arrive like an earthquake, sweep through like a tornado. Sun and moon turn out their lights, stars black out. Joel 2:7-11 MSG
When the lights go out 
And you throw yourself about in the darkness where you learn to see 
When the lights go out 
Don't you ever doubt 
The light that we can really be
 
Let your lives glow bright before God before he turns out the lights.... The light you always took for granted will go out and the world will turn black. Jeremiah 13:15-17 MSG
 
I’m sitting in the dark right now, but God is my light... He’s on my side and is going to get me out of this. He’ll turn on the lights and show me his ways. Micah 7:8-10 MSG
The Blackout
Is this an extinction event we see?...
When the lights got out...
In the darkness...
By now it was noon. The whole earth became dark, the darkness lasting three hours—a total blackout. The Temple curtain split right down the middle. Jesus called loudly, “Father, I place my life in your hands!” Then he breathed his last. Luke 23:44-46 MSG

​Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Genesis 7:23 NIV
Blackout
It's clear
Who you are will appear
I’m written off as a lost cause, one more statistic, a hopeless case. Abandoned as already dead... I’m a black hole in oblivion. You’ve dropped me into a bottomless pit, sunk me in a pitch-black abyss. Psalm 88:1-9 MSG
