What is the reality of the star that fell from the sky in Revelation?

= Entering tabernacle of heaven at the fulfillment of the Book of Revelation / Shepherds who betrayed and became one with destroyers =

[Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle]

In Revelation 9:1, the fifth angel sounded and there was a star fallen from heaven to the earth. And the key was given to him to the bottomless pit. What is the reality of this star?

To understand the star that fell from the sky, let’s take a look at what the sky, stars and the star falling from the sky means. 

The heaven spoken of in the Bible has two meanings. One is a physical heaven and the other is a spiritual heaven that is compared to a physical heaven. The sky has the characteristic of being high. So, he compared the place where God is to heaven. Therefore, spiritual heaven which is the spirit world where God resides is heaven. And the tabernacle where God resides was compared to heaven. At this time, God was compared to the sun in heaven. and he says ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands angels around the throne of God are stars of heaven. Then, what are the star that fell from the sky?

In Isaiah chapter 14, there is a morning star called Lucifer fallen from heaven. This star weakened the nations, exalted his throne above the stars of God and tried to be like the Most High, ending up falling from heaven. For his sin due to his greed and arrogance to be exalted above God, he was casted out of heaven where God is to the earth. At this time, he compared the sinful angel who belonged to God and became Satan’s as a star that fell from heaven. In other words, heaven is the spiritual kingdom of God, heaven where God resides. And a sinful angel being casted out of the kingdom of god was compared to a star fallen from heaven.

Thus, what happens in the spirit world also happens in the physical world. The spirit enters into the body and works and the body is governed by the spirit. The evil spirit, the sinful angel, entered the serpent in the days of Adam and worked. In the days of Jacob, it went to Dan, the son of Jacob. At the time of the First Coming of Jesus, it entered Judas Iscariot and worked. 

In Luke 10:18, it said Satan fell like lightning from heaven and in Luke 22:3, Satan entered Judas surnamed Iscariot. As a result, Judas surnamed Iscariot who was Jesus' disciple sold Jesus to the scribes and Pharisees for thirty pieces of silver to be crucified, just as he opened the door to scribes and Pharisees, the shepherds of Jerusalem, a Satanic organization. Therefore, Jesus with God at the First Coming is the kingdom of heaven. Judas Iscariot, who belonged to Jesus, betrayed Jesus and left. So this is a star that has fallen from heaven. 

Like this, In Revelation 1:20, seven churches, seven angels, are called seven stars. In Revelation 13:6, the tabernacle of seven golden lampsticks with seven stars are, called heaven. 

Therefore, the heaven in Revelation chapter 9 is the tabernacle of God with seven stars. The star that fell from heaven is from the tabernacle of heaven. This star is a false shepherd who belonged from God to Satan becoming one with a destroyer. He is the one who deceived the saints of God's tabernacle and fed things sacrificed unto idols and committed fornication with a doctrine of destroyer as in Revelation 2-3. In Revelation 8, this is called a great star of Wormwood that fell from heaven. And its group is called the Nicolaitans in Revelation 2.

In summary, heaven in the text is the tabernacle of heaven with seven stars, the angels of the seven churches. and the star that fell from heaven refers to the false shepherd who entered the tabernacle of heaven and the betrayed. Revelation 9 tells that the false shepherd who betrayed the tabernacle, the star that fell from heaven, received the key of the bottomless pit and made the smoke locusts come out, ending up destroying the chosen people of the tabernacle who betrayed.

=There are too many interpretations, chose 'Angel' / took 5-6 hours agonizing "confusion" =

[Existing denomination Presbyterian Church Pastor A]

When the fifth angel sounded the trumpet, I saw a star that fell from heaven to the earth and it is said that a star was given the key to the bottomless pit. Now, who has the control over this key? It is Christ. Would you give this (the key of bottomless pit) to Satan or angel? Of course angels. That means a star that fell from heaven in Revelation 9 refers to an angel who is a heavenly being. This is not my personal interpretation, but the whole context of the book of Revelation explains it like this. Therefore, it is very difficult to interpret the book of Revelation. I have to finish it quickly. Otherwise, my life will be shortened. 

(The next day) Yesterday, while I was interpreting this part, I regretted because I shouldn't have started. I realized why the senior pastors or interpreters and expositors hesitated to preach or expound the book of Revelation. Yesterday, I actually realized the reason. 

In particular, there are too many interpretations such as Revelation 9:1. Everyone has a different interpretation. Within evangelicalism, interpretations are too different. So, I held on to only 1 verse for 5-6 hours and got so confused. I turned the entire sermon upside down three times. Which one, which interpretation should I choose? As a preacher who had to teach and preach the Word, it was a severe agony. 

Within evangelicalism, there are extreme differences in interpretations about a star that fell from heaven to earth. So confusion has to arise. One says it is Satan. The other says it is an angel. Which side should we adopt? This is a serious matter. Then, I looked up many books and thought over the entire Bible. Carefully speaking, interpreting it as Satan is quite problematic in the context.
