But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word, are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the Day of Judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2 Peter 3:7

“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
Mark 13:24-25

what does it mean? to be Kept by fire?
what does it mean? that The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars of heaven will fall?
how does this happen in our modem-day

My question was what would it be your interpretation?

what does it mean? to be Kept by fire?

Mark 13:24-25 is in Tribulation.

2 Peter 3:7 is at the end of time when all is destroyed by fire and the White Throne judgement of the damned. Hell holds the damned until that day.

Then comes the New Jerusalem and Lake of Fire, eternal dwelling places.

2 Peter 3:7


New International Version


7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

The creation is being preserved until God's fire will cleanse all of it from the effects of human sins, when Jesus returns:
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.
2Pe 3:11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,
2Pe 3:12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!
2Pe 3:13 But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
