Stars falling



"Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken."  Matthew 24.29




Could there be a connection with angels and the stars (angels are called stars or hosts of heaven), for certain angels will be cast out of heaven and to the Earth at a certain time?

We read of a connection between stars and idols:  "Then God turned and gave them up to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets: Did you offer Me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch, And the star of your god Remphan, Images which you made to worship; And I will carry you away beyond.'" Acts 7.42-44

In Revelation, there is a reference to Satan, certain angels, and the stars "His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth.Rev 12.4

 "If there are any...transgressing His covenant, who has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, either the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded." Deut 17

""Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by, on His right hand and on His left."  1 Kings 22

"All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; All their host shall fall down as the leaf falls from the vine, and as fruit falling from a fig tree." Isa 34

"He] grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it four notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven. And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Glorious Land. And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them." Daniel 8

"Where were you...When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?" Job 38

However, Joel speaks of the stars being diminished, which could be the idea behind the stars falling from heaven        ;  

 "The sun and moon grow dark,
And the stars diminish their brightness." Joel 2:10 
"For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and moon will grow dark,
And the stars will diminish their brightness." Joel 3:14-15

So maybe the stars falling from heaven preceding the Day of the Lord and the coming of Christ is with reference to the casting out of certain angels in conflict to the earth and not just some sort of meteor shower.
