42–Heaven and Earth Will Shake

Hebrews 12:26

Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven (ASV, 1901).

God has shaken the earth on numerous occasions in response to the sins of mankind and His desire to clear the way for the nation Israel to pass into the promise land. Beside the book of Revelation’s discussion of the tremendous judgments on the earth, and Heaven, God foretold these things through both Lord Jesus and the prophet Isaiah. Some of the characteristics of His judgment on what we call space are:

1. Space can be torn (Isaiah 64: 1);
2. It can be worn out like a garment (Psalm 102: 25),
3. It can be shaken (Hebrews 12:26; Haggai 2:6; Isaiah 13:13).
4. It can be burnt up (II Peter 3:12).
5. It can be split apart like a scroll (Revelation 6:14);
6. It can be rolled up like a mantle (Hebrews 1:12) or scroll (Isaiah 34: 4).
