Stars of Heaven Falling on Earth

Another heavenly sign, the fourth sign, we are told by John that the stars in the sky fell to the earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind (Revelation 6:13). The Greek word for earthquake means shaking and applies equally to the air, the sea or the land. For those who witness it on earth, it will seem like the sky is shaking the stars themselves as they are shaken loose from the heavens. Some believe a big identifier would be great swarm of asteroids pummeling the Earth. We haven’t seen such an event occur in historic times, but scientists have speculated for a long time about the probability of giant meteorites. This alone could trigger a global earthquake.
