All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, &c.] Or, “all the lights of the light”f573; the rest of the luminaries of heaven; the other five planets, as Kimchi, besides the sun and moon: and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord God; as there must needs be, the sun, moon, and stars, and all the lights of heaven, being darkened above: there seems to be an allusion to the thick darkness that was formerly over the land of Egypt; and this is a figure and representation of that darkness that shall be in the kingdom of the beast, or spiritual Egypt, yet to come; (see <021021>Exodus 10:21 <661610>Revelation 16:10). The Targum is, “tribulation as darkness shall cover thy land.”
