“Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.”
Moreover, the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, in the day when the LORD binds up the fracture of His people and heals the wound inflicted by Him, establishing that the eschatological renewal includes the amplification of light and the healing of the people's wounds. The moon and sun intensified suggest the transformation of the basic conditions of existence. The sevenfold light suggests an intensity of illumination that far exceeds normal conditions. The healing of fractures and wounds inflicted by God suggests the restoration after the divine chastening and judgment. The oracle moves from external cosmic transformation to internal healing, suggesting that restoration encompasses both the physical world and the spiritual and psychological healing of the people.
