And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
All the host of heaven shall be dissolved - (Psalms 102:26; Joel 2:31; Joel 3:15; Matthew 24:29.)
Dissolved - (2 Peter 3:10-12.) Violent convulsions of nature are in Scripture made the images of great changes in the human world (Isaiah 29:19-21), and shall literally accompany them at the winding-up of the present dispensation.
The heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll - books were in those days sheets of parchment rolled together (Revelation 6:14).
All their host shall fall down - the stars shall fall when the heavens in which they are fixed pass away.
As a falling (fig) from the fig tree - (Revelation 6:13.)
