Hebrews 12:25-29

Hebrews 12:25-29

[25] See  that ye refuse  not  him that speaketh.  For  if  they  not  who refused him  that spake  on  earth,  much  more  escape, if we turn away from him  that speaketh from  heaven:  [26] Whose  voice  then  shook  the earth:  but  now  he hath promised,  saying,  Yet  once more  shake  not  the earth  only,  but  also  heaven.  [27] And  this word, Yet  once more,  signifieth  the removing  of those things that are shaken,  as  of things that are made,  that  those things which cannot  be shaken  may remain.  [28] Wherefore  we receiving  a kingdom  which cannot be moved,  let us have  grace,  whereby  we may serve  God  acceptably  with  and  godly fear:  [29] For  God  is a consuming  fire. 

What does Hebrews 12:25-29 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The writer shifted again from exposition to exhortation. The hook word "speak" (Gr. lalounti and lalounta) in Hebrews 12:24-25 ties the two sections together.
