God's Unrivaled Light

Commentators explain this isn't about the literal sun and moon vanishing. It's a powerful image illustrating that God's presence will be so magnificent and sufficient that all other sources of light and glory will pale in comparison. His divine light is permanent and everlasting, unlike the setting sun or waning moon.
