Apocalipsis 6:13

13 y las estrellas del cielo cayeron a la tierra, como la higuera deja caer sus higos verdes al ser sacudida por un fuerte viento.

Apocalipsis 6:13 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 6:13

And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth
All the other inferior deities lost their esteem, worship, and honour; for the idol temples being now opened, the idols and statues were exposed to the common people, and were found to be stuffed with hay and straw, which brought them into great contempt ^F12. Moreover, as stars sometimes signify the ministers of the Gospel in the Christian church, ( Revelation 1:20 ) , and sometimes the priests in the Jewish church, ( Daniel 8:10 ) ; so they may here likewise include the idolatrous priests among the Heathens, who were discharged and removed by Constantine, and had their posts and profits taken away from them; yea, Maximinus, an Heathen emperor, or tyrant, being beaten by Licinius, who was then Constantine's colleague, killed many of the priests and prophets of his gods, which were formerly had in great admiration by him, as deceivers and betrayers of him, by whose oracles he was animated to the war ^F13. And in like manner Licinius put to death the priests and prophets of the new idol at Antioch ^F14.

Even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of
a mighty wind;
which figs being young and green, and not fixed, fall off easily, and in great numbers, when a blustering wind beats upon them; and so the rabble of Pagan deities, and idolatrous priests, were easily, and in great numbers, removed through the power of Constantine, which carried all before it.

Apocalipsis 6:13 In-Context

11 Y se les dio a cada uno una vestidura blanca; y se les dijo que descansaran un poco más de tiempo, hasta que se completara también el número de sus consiervos y de sus hermanos que habrían de ser muertos como ellos lo habían sido.

12 Vi cuando el Cordero abrió el sexto sello, y hubo un gran terremoto, y el sol se puso negro como cilicio hecho de cerda, y la luna toda se volvió como sangre,

13 y las estrellas del cielo cayeron a la tierra, como la higuera deja caer sus higos verdes al ser sacudida por un fuerte viento.

14 Y el cielo desapareció como un pergamino que se enrolla, y todo monte e isla fueron removidos de su lugar.

15 Y los reyes de la tierra, y los grandes, los comandantes , los ricos, los poderosos, y todo siervo y todo libre, se escondieron en las cuevas y entre las peñas de los montes;
