13 The stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.
and the stars of the sky fell to the earth – as in Matt 24:29, “the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky.” The meaning of this is detailed in the seventh seal, which describes the seven trumpets, the darkening of the kingdom of heaven, and the falling of angels. This must happen before the battle of Armageddon which is about to be described. The sixth seal describes “the Day of the Lord.”
