Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 34:4

"And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their host shall fade away, as the leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as a fading [leaf] from the fig-tree." — Isaiah 34:4 (ASV)

And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved ... —No prophetic picture of a “day of the Lord” was complete without this symbolism , probably written about this period. Like the psalmist (Psalms 102:26), Isaiah contrasts the transitoriness of sun, moon, and stars, with the eternity of Jehovah. The Greek poets sing that the “life of the generations of men is as the life of the leaves of the trees” (Homer, Il. vi. 146). To Isaiah’s sublime thoughts there came the vision of a time when even the host of heaven would fall as a leaf from the vine, and as a fig from the fig-tree.
