"And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places."
Revelation 6:13-14
I think we often bounce around scriptures like this because we're confused by them... is this symbolic, or is the whole universe different than we thought it was, etc. And I guess my thought is that it doesn't really matter in this case. Whether it is symbolic or real, the idea behind it is the same... Christ's return is going to change everything, and *everyone* will notice. We can't rely on knowledge of what has gone before, and we can't rely merely on ourselves. We are going to need God's help to understand and endure such a time.
Today, let's seek God's help in understanding and enduring, even though we're not to the stars falling from the sky part yet... and if we practice turning to him and listening to and following his advice, perhaps by then we'll be ready for what is ahead, and confident in God that everything is going according to plan. :)
