Serious Question: Do Fundamentalist Christians actually believe that stars will "fall from the sky" during the second coming

Let's be real, it's a metaphor. Or could be meteors. If the Sun, nevermind all the stars in the sky (Blue Giants Neutron Stars, Red Dwarves etc), "fell from the Sky" it would be the end of the universe and we'd all be obliterated before getting to Heaven 馃ぃ

The stars, in this case, represents Satan and his angels. Stars are used symbolically throughout scripture often for important figures. Joseph's brothers, for example. (Genesis 37:9-10)

@SpiritualMan [quote]Oh ya good point, thanks, that all the more makes the point. I understand the questions about meteorites or comets until you understand that angel = star metaphor in the bible, once you understand that it all makes sense.[/quote]

It's difficult to tell - is that sarcasm? They can be metaphors in the Bible for people, for angels, etc. Critics of the Bible often look at the celestial phenomenon in the book of Revelation, for example, as being the product of superstitious fear and ignorance. But if they knew the Bible they would easily discern that the same exact language was used in Hebrew prophecy. A metaphoric application for political and social upheaval. Jerusalem was destroyed, what followed was a new kingdom, new people, new environment. So the celestial phenomenon in Revelation is just on a global scale. All governments destroyed, all evil people destroyed, new heavens and earth. New kingdom (God's), new people, (the meek shall inherit the earth), new environment. No sin, Satan, wicked, death, disease etc.
