Revelation 6: [12] And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
There’s tremendous storm activity; cosmic activity that goes
around and is placed there and the people of the earth, when they see the sun
during the day it’s dark and when the moon comes out at night it’s blood red.
[13] 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.
When a fig tree drops its figs before they’re ripe they’re
hard as a rock and when a storm comes and makes them fall, it has an impact,
and that’s what that’s talking about.
What would the stars be there? You say, “Well that can’t be
a literal star falling because if it was, it would burn everything up; it would
never get to the earth. So it’s got to be a figure of speech.” But what would
it be?
Revelation 9 begins, [1] And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star
fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless
pit.
[2] And he opened the bottomless pit; and there
arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and
the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
[3] And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the
earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Now wait a minute. To who? To him. Well, the star must not
be that gas ball we think about; it must be somebody. Well, who’s the star
then? Verse 2 says, “And he opened the bottomless pit,” so the star, in this
case, is somebody.
Revelation 1:20: [20] The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest
in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the
angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are
the seven churches.
We know a star represented an angel. You see, angels are associated
in your Bible with stars from the very beginning of their appearance.
Job 37 and 38. It is necessary for an angel to have light in
order to operate. If you put an angel in pitch black darkness he can’t function.
That’s why in the Book of Jude, those angels who sinned in Noah’s day are held
in chains of darkness.
The darkness immobilizes them and they need light and light
sources to function. And so they are associated with stars and stay around the light
sources and the stars and so forth.
So when he sees this star fall from heaven in chapter 6,
evidently it has something to do with chapter 9.
Revelation 6: [14] And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is
rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
[15] And the kings of the earth, and the great men,
and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every
bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
mountains;
[16] And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us,
and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath
of the Lamb:
What does it mean when it says the heaven is parted as a scroll?
Job 26: [5] Dead things are formed from under the waters,
and the inhabitants thereof.
[6] Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath
no covering.
[7] He stretcheth out the north over the empty
place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
