Will the prophecy on Isaiah 30 v26 ever happen?
[Edit]

Answer

The prophecy:-

Isaiah 30:26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

Yes, it will happen. Go to Revelation and follow it through:-

Rev 1:16 And he [Jesus Christ, the Son of man] had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.


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 black as 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.

Answer

This prophecy is flawed. The moon does not emit its own light. It will never happen.

Answer

Comments 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.
