To really understand the Bible you must read the whole thing. Many verses are explained within other verses.
Rev 6:13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.

NO ONE TOLD YOU ABOUT GOD'S MESSENGER - Isaiah 41 & 42
The Helper of IsraelSo do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. I have stirred up one from the north, and he comes— one from the rising sun who calls on my name. He treads on rulers as if they were mortar, as if he were a potter treading the clay.
Who told of this from the beginning, so we could know, or beforehand, so we could say, 'He was right'? No one told of this, (to you) no one foretold it, (before they arrived) no one heard any words from you.
I was the first to tell Zion, 'Look, here they are!' I gave to Jerusalem a messenger of good tidings.[1]
Who is the Messenger that was sent from God to help Israel, do you know who they are? [
