And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
All Commentaries on Mark 13:25 Go To Mark 13
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
When impious persecutors rage beyond measure, and when the fortune of this world seems to smile upon them and fear leaves them and they say: “Peace and security,” then the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of heaven shall be moved, when many who seemed to shine brilliantly with grace will yield to the persecutors and will fall, and even the strongest of the faithful will be shaken. Letter , To Hesychius
