    the medrash says that when mashiach comes the moon will become as bright as the sun is now & the sun will become 6 times as bright as it is now.

    No. The wealth of pesukim, midrashim and gemaras we have that discuss the coming of Moshiach/World to Come are full of references to the sun – e.g. it’s healing powers for tsaddikim, or the fact that the moon will be restored to be as powerful as the sun.

    Maybe you are confusing it with this?

    HKB”H will offer the goyim the chance to do one mitzvah and get reward – and he will choose the Mitzvah of Sukkah. The Nations of the World will build sukkas. At this point, Hashem will remove the sun from it’s sheath, and each of them will kick their sukkah and leave.

    “Removing the sun from it’s sheath” – at least in the simplest understanding – refers to the strengthening of the sun, not the sun disappearing. (See also Nedarim 8b.)
