Ignore it if you want to,
Ignore it if you can,
But Prophecy is coming to you
As fast as God’s great plan.
You ignore it to your detriment,
You ignore it to your peril,
Prophecy is determinate;
“Revelation” is anything but sterile.
God’s will, will be well done,
God’s will, will fully succeed,
Every nation under His bright sun
At His will, will halt or proceed.
Prophecy is History – foretold.
Prophecy foretells the world’s acts,
It can be wonderfully bold,
Because God foreknew all the facts.
Read Revelation and read Daniel also,
Daniel and Revelation have parallels.
Revelation explains how things will go
Daniel has likeness in what he tells.
So, read the Old Book to be wise.
The Book has tomorrow’s details,
Though some things appear in disguise
You’ll find Prophecy never fails. – eab, 2/28/06

Since both those great lights stopped and started together, the astronomical account of this is not invalidated by this event. Even as music, the harmony is not broken, nor do the voices clash if they all rest at the same time and then begin again, each man playing his part until the end of the piece.
