All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you, and I will bring darkness upon your land,’ declares the Lord GOD.
Ministers must weep for those who will not weep for themselves, and tremble for those too proud to tremble. Pharaoh roars like a young lion, turbulent and vexatious as the leviathan, troubling his own kingdom and every nation round him with restless ambition and resentment. Such potentates are beasts of prey in God's reckoning, and those who trouble others must expect to be troubled themselves, for the Lord is righteous.

Commenting on Ezekiel 32:1-16
All the bright lights of heaven, the sun, moon, stars, and the other five planets, will be darkened over Egypt, and darkness will cover the land itself. This echoes the thick darkness God sent upon Egypt before, and it points forward to that spiritual darkness yet to come over the kingdom of the beast.
