The world is falling already. It is falling around the sun. An orbit can be thought of as a free fall where the bottom keeps moving away from you so you never hit it. Gravity exists everywhere in the universe. Some people think there is no gravity in space because they have seen astronauts floating around when they are in orbit. They float because the force of gravity on their bodies has been balanced by their centrifugal force generated by the speed of their orbit around the earth. If they were to stay still in one spot in their orbit, they would surely feel the force of gravity as they fell back to Earth.

Star fall from sky in revelation?

Revelation 6:13. "and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale." This would mean that about 4,000 stars, with a mass of say 4,000 solar masses fell to Earth. That would mean a mass of 7.9564 x 1033 kg. The mass of the Earth is only 5.9736×1024 kg Not only would that amount of mass falling onto the Earth destroy it - which of course it hasn't - but it would be enough mass to turn the Earth into a black hole instantly. It wouldn't even go through a star stage.
