Stars of the sky falling to earth could be the end of paganism. Jesus (the sun) is now the only God and polytheism has come to an end. Sorry if this offends anyone but look at Luke 3:5 "Every Ravine will be filled and every mountain and hill brought low;" Did that actually happen to every mountain? It was symbolic that an the environment necessary for the messiah to perform his work was now completed. Everything was ready to set in motion the events that would bring about our salvation. Mountains and hills brought low means that those who thought they were great are humbled and the lowly will be raised up. The perfect environment was finally here. The people now hungered and thirsted for righteousness. I know this may seem offensive because "it's symbolic" is a common reason people give to continue in sin and and the main excuse to not go to church. It's the ones who take it literally who spread the Gospel and take it seriously. There aren't too many who would see it as symbolic who take it so seriously. Just because it's symbolic doesn't mean it has no meaning. It doesn't mean we should just ignore it If you hunger and thirst after righteousness though maybe you will start to understand the Bible correctly.
Not everything is symbolic of course. But the visual stuff in revelation probably is symbolic. He's not seeing Helicopters and interpreting them as locusts. He's seeing a swarm of locusts and those are symbolic of some thing else.
