From Textus Receptus

Current revision

• ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΝ 24:29 Εὐθέως δὲ μετὰ τὴν θλῖψιν τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων, ὁ ἥλιος σκοτισθήσεται, Καὶ ἡ σελήνη οὐ δώσει τὸ φέγγος αὐτῆς, Καὶ οἱ ἀστέρες πεσοῦνται ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, Καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται.

(Textus Receptus, Novum Testamentum, Theodore Beza, 5th major edition. Geneva. 1598)

• Matthew 24:29 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:

(King James Version, Pure Cambridge Edition 1900)

• Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Interlinear

It must be noted that the clause “...shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light...” is not identical to Revelation 6:12 as some claim.

• Matthew 24:29 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:

• Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

While both passages depict cosmic disturbances, there are nuanced differences:

In Matthew 24:29, the focus is on the darkening of the sun and the moon not giving its light. Stars falling from heaven and the shaking of the powers of the heavens are also mentioned.

In Revelation 6:12, there is an earthquake, and the sun becomes black as sackcloth, and the moon appears as blood. Here, the emphasis is on the sun taking on a darkened appearance and the moon turning blood-red, not being darkened.

While these events do share common elements, the emphasis and details differ. They are often interpreted as synonymous symbolic descriptions of cosmic upheavals associated with eschatological or apocalyptic events by Pre-Wrath Post-Tribulation advocates.
