Mark 13:25

25 the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

Mark 13:25 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:25

And the stars of heaven shall fall
The Jewish Rabbins and doctors, who fell off from the written word, and compiled their "Misna", or oral law, their book of traditions, and set it up above the Bible, the foundation of which was laid immediately upon their dispersion.

And the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken;
the ordinances of the legal dispensation, which were shaken before, but now so shaken as to be removed; compare ( Haggai 2:6 ) with ( Hebrews 12:26 Hebrews 12:27 ) ; (See Gill on Matthew 24:29).

Mark 13:25 In-Context

23 Watch out! I have warned you about this ahead of time!
24 “At that time, after the anguish of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light,
25 the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
26 Then everyone will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds with great power and glory.
27 And he will send out his angels to gather his chosen ones from all over the world —from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.
