Revelation 8:12
Revelation 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.”
In this judgment, one-third of the light that is coming to the Earth is taken away. In other words, the daylight is reduced by one-third and the night light (moon, stars, etc.) is also reduced by one-third.
Yes, this would make the daytime and the nighttime darker, but it’s far more serious than that. Since the amount of light that the Earth is getting has been reduced by one-third, that means that global temperatures would begin to drop rapidly. A decrease in sunlight of that magnitude would have a huge impact on temperatures. There’s also the fact that the plans need sunlight in order to grow; if there is less sunlight then they will have less energy to work with. The world would become a much colder place, and plant life would be impacted.
