This sign from heaven is another calamity that will affect the earth’s atmosphere. This would be a result of the sky receding like a scroll being rolled up. This descriptive picture is similar to Isaiah’s description: “All the stars of the heavens will be dissolved and the sky rolled up like a scroll: all the starry host will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like shriveled figs from the fig trees (Isaiah 34:4). The stars of the heavens won’t be dissolved because Scripture says they will be in place forever and ever (Psalm 148:3-6). However, they will seem to dissolve for some reason, the sun will appear to turn black and the moon will appear to turn blood red as previously mentioned.
