Hebrews 12:26-27

Hebrews 12:26-27

[26] Whose  voice  then  shook  the earth:  but  now  he hath promised,  saying,  Yet  once more  I  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. 

What does Hebrews 12:26-27 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

God"s voice shook the earth at Mt. Sinai ( Exodus 19:18; Judges 5:4-5; Psalm 68:8; Psalm 77:18; Psalm 114:4; Psalm 114:7). It will shake the earth and the heavens at the end of the Millennium. That shaking will lead to the creation of new heavens and a new earth that will remain ( Psalm 95:9-11; Haggai 2:6; Revelation 21:1).
"The "shaking" is a metaphor for the judgment of God executed in history, as in the case of the fall of Babylon announced in Isaiah 13:1-22." [1]
