8. And the moon will be eclipsed [7].

[7] Even today, the moon temporarily becomes eclipsed and loses its light, but this is merely a play of a few moments. When, during its orbit, the earth comes between the sun and the moon, it naturally becomes eclipsed. However, on the Day of Resurrection, the moon will permanently lose its light, because at that time, the present system itself will be thrown into chaos.
