Question about Matt 24:29, as I just been looking at it again, and it just got me thinking, has others ever have the opinion that this could be a reference to what is called a "Pole Shift"?

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:” Matthew 24:29 (KJV 1900)

This could be literal. But the OT uses it figuratively about judgements on certain OT nations. I think it is literal here and describes the end of the world.

Everything Jesus says in Matthew 24 is quite literal, except when it's clear it's not; like the declared parable of the fig tree in Matthew 24:32. This separates symbolic from literal and puts the whole chapter, aside from the parable, in a literal perspective.

Thing is the description seems to indicate something on a grand scale.
