Matthew 24 Jesus says:
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
When the sun and the moon go dark and the stars fall from heaven, know that the coming of Jesus and the end of this present world is very close!
God keeps the solar system in place now but when God shakes the powers of heaven, everything changes. The earth will be moved and the entire heavens will be changed by God and affected.
Notice the following concerning this earth:
Isaiah 13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of HIS fierce anger.
God gave me a dream in the mid-80's as follows:
The earth slipped on its axis. People were very frightened. The governments of men and the scientists and the religious leaders were meeting to see what might be done about this. (Nothing can be done for it is God who has made this happen.) A TV newscaster was trying to report the story on TV but he was so frightened that he just stopped speaking and stood up and left the studio.
What about the 14 plagues and woes of the great tribulation?

I believe these scriptures show us that the order of the end times will be:
* Many antichrist move into the churches as ministers, speaking perverse things, and the churches fall away from various scriptures. (II Thess. 2:3-4) This has been happening since the death of Paul. (Acts 20:29-30) Thus the church divided into denominations. Many antichrist doctrines are taught in the churches today. Many doctrines are opposite to that doctrine of Christ taught in the Bible. Example: Mt. 5:32 Jesus says: " ... and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." Churches teach another doctrine today and permit men to marry divorced women. This is antichrist.
* And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
* The great tribulation is sent by God: (Revelation 8, 9, 16)
* The great tribulation is sent by God: (Revelation 8, 9, 16)
* Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: (Matthew 24:29)
* Then Jesus comes through the clouds and gathers the church to Himself. (Matthew 24:30)

Specific information about the great tribulation:
God directed me to focus on the following: 1/3 of the earth as shown in the first, second, and third plagues.
Revelation 8:
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
(The concept I was given is since "the third part" of the earth was affected, the other parts of the earth might not even recognize the happening being the plagues of the great tribulation. And many people in this world do not even know there is such as thing as the great tribulation. They will look to science for answers.)
Example: In 2020, great fires raged in the Amazon rain forest, and in sand island in Australia, and in California, destroying large portions of trees and land. The people who lived in other parts of the world might be unaware this was happening. Therefore some of the tribulations might go unnoticed. (I would have missed both Amazon and Australia except for fact that I saw this listed on CNN on my Internet.)
Woe #4 when the sun and moon and stars go dark for 1/3 of the time will awaken everyone to the problem.
The primary situation showing the coming of Jesus is the shaking of the solar system by God for then comes Jesus.
So when the sun goes dark and the moon fails to give light and the stars begin to fall look up for your redemption grows nigh.
