Matthew 24:29
Previous Verse < Matthew 24 > Next Verse
But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall 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: (ASV)
Pro
The stars are small objects loosely attached to a solid sky (see the Jude 1:14 article for more on this). --Robert Stevens 12:21, 9 Nov 2005 (CST)
Con
The falling stars are, actually, symbolic of the destruction of Jerusalem. (See, for example Isaiah 34:4, where it says "The stars will fall from the sky" in reference to the fall of Edom. This is an example of apocalyptic imagery, the sort of which can be found also in Revelation, the Animal Apocalypse, and the Apocalypse of Adam.) Zeta Metroid 13:05, 30 October 2011 (EDT)
