“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.”
The reference to the heavens rolling up like a scroll and all their host withering like a leaf indicates that the judgment extends to the heavens themselves, suggesting a cosmic reversal of the created order. This verse uses imagery of the heavens being transformed to convey the totality and finality of the judgment. The withering of the heavenly hosts—likely the stars and celestial bodies—suggests that the order of creation itself will be undone. The verse emphasizes that the judgment is not merely historical or military but cosmic and eschatological in scope.
