What is IERSEL - Sun, Moon and Stars in MK 13 and G-R about?

The document discusses how readers shortly after 70 CE would have understood Mark 13:24-25, which describes the sun and moon darkening and stars falling. It argues that assuming this referred literally to material heavenly bodies alone neglects how readers would have understood the text within their Greco-Roman cultural context, where celestial objects represented deities. The meaning and effect of the text on its original readers is an important question not sufficiently addressed in historical criticism.
