“And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth…” (Revelation 6:13)
Star” refers to any object in space, whether natural or man made.

This is a common feature of contemporary warfare, seen frequently in 2025 in Ukraine and during what is sometimes called the Twelve-Day War fought between Iran and Israel in June 2025. Israel launched hundreds of airstrikes throughout the war. Iran retaliated with over 550 ballistic missiles and more than 1,000 suicide drone strikes against Israeli cities and military sites.
“And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together…”
This is the signature of an atomic fireball, NOT an effect of “stars” falling from the heaven.
“And every mountain and island were moved out of their places” (Revelation 6:13-14)
Nuclear weapons explosions send energy rippling through the entire crust of the earth.

The inclusion of the stars event in the middle of describing the nuclear blast event is a literary way of depicting them as happening simultaneously, not sequentially. Since the view of the “stars” would be obliterated by the far greater effect from the nuclear explosion, this can only happen if they are happening at different locations.
This conclusion is supported by previous prophecy regarding this battle.
“And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog / Russia shall come against the land of Israel, saith the LORD God, that my fury shall come up in my face. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking
- in the land of Israel…
- and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence,
and I will rain upon
- him, and upon his bands,
- and upon the many people that are with him
fire, and brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.” (Ezekiel 38)
This analysis is that, in a concerted action at the same time
- Russia invades Israel with conventional – but nonetheless devastatingly destructive explosives,
- Russia’s ally drops a nuclear bomb elsewhere.
Since the Middle Eastern Alliance consisting of Turkey, Iran and Russia borders the Middle East, they will not drop a bomb on their own territory, no matter how much they hate Israel. The plan is to restore Palestine to the Muslims, not wipe it off the map.
So obviously the target is the “many / i.e. powerful people without whom Israel could do nothing.
The United States of America.
Anyone who believes that America’s Religious Right are going to get away with the evil they’ve unleashed in Trump are going to get away unscathed with what is going on in the name of Christ haven’t been reading the Bible.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.” (Isaiah 5:20-24)
Drug abuse, promiscuity and gender bending are favorite sins railed against in sermons, but Jesus didn’t blame the unregenerate for their inability to overcome the lusts of the flesh. He preached against the religious, sitting smugly in their pews because they “are saved.”
The biggest sin in America today is relinquishing responsibility for transforming society through the Holy Spirit to politicians through laws for saving “good” society from the problems spilling into their neighborhoods from a sinful society that religious leaders shun like the priest passing the injured Samaritan.
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come…saying, I am Christ / the promised Savior in your belief system; and shall deceive many…all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet…” (Matthew 24:4-6)
This practice has infected the entire religious establishment like a nasty boil, bursting out as the Religious Right supporting a wicked president to save them from their scapegoats.
In the most stunning political comeback in American history, given Mr. Trump’s two first-term impeachments, criminal convictions, and unorthodox “strongman” style that seems to break all the rules of normal political discourse, President Trump won a second term in 2024.
It’s clear plenty of Trump voters like what they see. That includes both his brash style and policies aimed at addressing Conservative Americans’ – AKA the Religious Right’s – deep frustration with everything from immorality to border security to the cost of living to the United States’ role in the world.
Trump’s victories in 2016 and 2024 makes a case that much of what he sells, from a political perspective, is what Americans want.”
What Does Donald Trump’s Win Mean for America?
From selected Newsweek writers on November 6, 2024 – come to pass within six months as of this writing July 27, 2025.
Trump was on the receiving end of a torrent of legal cases meant to prevent him from running, and potentially even imprisoning him. Someone even shot him in the head. It’s weird the American people didn’t buy any of it. The people have spoken. This is what democracy looks like.
Much of the world is waking up today perplexed by the American electorate’s decision to hand Donald Trump a return pass to the White House. His anti-globalist “American First” agenda will force European leaders to reassess long-standing security arrangements with the U.S. Look for Trump to move quickly to make good on his promise to wind down the war in Ukraine, likely by forcing Zelensky’s hand to make concessions to Putin. Trump will give Netanyahu carte blanche to prosecute the wars against Hamas and Hezbollah with even fewer guardrails. The next four years will mark a radical departure in U.S. foreign policy and trigger significant realignment to the international world order.
Trump is back. His bootlickers will control the Senate. Likely the House too. As W.B. Yeats might see this Second Coming, the rough beast’s hour has come round. Ukraine is defeated. NATO endangered. Foreign policy by Putin. Trump escapes justice. Netanyahu too. Capitol rioters will be freed. Jack Smith fired. FBI squelched. Justice and the IRS aimed at Trump’s enemies. Judge Aileen Cannon promoted. Cannon clones appointed. Clean energy dead. Terrifying tariffs. There’s more to come. We have placed an aging, arbitrary, uninformed, kleptocratic, lawless narcissist in the world’s most powerful position. God knows what’s next.
- Republicans: do you have the principled conviction to restrain the president’s worst impulses and refuse his illegal actions?
- Democrats: do you have the courage and discipline to make real changes in the face of a failure?
- American institutions: will you zealously defend the guardrails of the republic against what promises—literally—to be unprecedented assault?
- US allies: can you provide world leadership against tyranny, given Trump’s affinity for autocrats?
