The passage says what it says; I don't see North America directly mentioned in any Biblical passage, though.

How are "stars" in Revelation literal, when if a "literal" star smashed into earth, EVERYTHING would be gone, and no one would left to be running into caves for shelter? Don't some people even bother to think before they claim something?
Daniel 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast...pagan Rome...
And it had ten horns...The ten Germanic kingdoms that inherited the western empire 7 of which grew into the nations of modern Europe
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn...
Do you realise how ridiculous your proposition sounds in the light of creation and God's wisdom and common sense?
"More specifically, scholars note that if Jesus began His public ministry between mid to late AD 26 and died in the spring of AD 30, His ministry would have been a total of 3½ years (including His resurrection, 40 days of appearances, and ascension)."Jesus died at 33 years old.
I think it was Archbishop Ussher's calculation, anyway...."More specifically, scholars note that if Jesus began His public ministry between mid to late AD 26 and died in the spring of AD 30, His ministry would have been a total of 3½ years (including His resurrection, 40 days of appearances, and ascension)."
Christian Truth
His birth in 4 BC is generally accepted as correct. The Bible says that Jesus was "ABOUT thirty years old" when He began His ministry.
Then, per your view, the words of Revelation 6 would be a total impossibility. Or are you agreeing "those" particular stars aren't literal stars?When stars have an already established literal meaning they are to be read as literal.

Here's one example of the year 536 BC:536 BC is not the common year followed that I can see.
It just goes to show that speculation is unhelpful.January 21 has come and gone, and the blood moon fans don't know what to say now. The moon will be turned to blood when all the other prophecies about the shaking of the heavenly bodies are fulfilled.
Very weak.Are you denying meteors in the night sky are called falling stars?
Are you denying that huge meteors can cause nuclear bomb level destruction?
Now picture how much damage multiple meteors could cause.
And how about meteors often have a large iron and other mineral contents that could easily discolor bodies of water.
How about Angels being called stars in the Bible?
Figurative words with literal meanings.
Here's one example of the year 536 BC:
In the year 536 B.C., 50,000 Jewish exiles, empowered by Cyrus' decree, returned to Jerusalem...
The Year 457 B.C. and it's Importance
Here's another example:
The royal decree went forth in the year 536 B.C., at which time nearly 50,000 Jews returned to their homeland...

Some mention 538 or 539 BC. However, they are all relying on Ptolemy's incorrect chronology, which was off by 83 years.
So the correct date is 536-83 which is 453 BC. And 453 +30 = 483/7 = 69 weeks.
As noted in our comments on Daniel 9:25, the significant point in the decree to rebuild Jerusalem was not when it was signed by Artaxerxes, but rather when it went into effect, after Ezra arrived in Jerusalem. The decree was useless until the Jews were actually made aware of it and could act upon it. Until they and the governors east of the river heard it, the decree had not fully "gone forth." Therefore, we begin the prophecy of Daniel 9 in the late summer or early fall of the year 457 B.C.
The only thing in all that which pertains to the Bible is Angels being called stars.... and Revelation 6 is not talking about angels falling to the Earth. So, with these supposed "examples", your post is even weaker.Are you denying meteors in the night sky are called falling stars?

January 19_21 ==Prophecy Alert: "Blood Moon Over America" You can google and learn""" January 19_21 ==Prophecy Alert: "Blood Moon Over America"""
I agree and furthermore there is a much deeper revelation to be sought in the meaning of this scripture....blood moons have been occurring since the day of creation. It isn't a supernatural phenomenon it is a natural course of events that has to do with the natural order of the earth and moon rotating around the sun......in fact it can be predicted when and where it will happen again clear up to the year 2100!January 21 has come and gone, and the blood moon fans don't know what to say now. The moon will be turned to blood when all the other prophecies about the shaking of the heavenly bodies are fulfilled.
