"And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth..."

"How do you know if this is literal or figurative?"

Literal I reckon. c. 80,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars hitting the earth, no problem to account for that; there are some real big craters in Arizona, I hear. They go well with the flood-water holes under Florida in proving the Bible is literally true in every respect.

Literal??? or maybe like the 'dragon', figurative. Stars of heaven, 'souls' or bodies in spirit rather than flesh bodies held to this earth by gravity.

No event such as this has been recorded during the short span than the flesh man walked upon the earth.
