The earth-shaking voice of God is described in <a href="/exodus/19-18.htm">Exodus 19:18-19</a>, where the mountain trembled violently. This event signifies God's powerful presence and the seriousness of His covenant with Israel. The shaking of the earth symbolizes divine intervention and the establishment of a new order, emphasizing God's authority and holiness.but now He has promised This part of the verse introduces a contrast between the past and the present. The promise mentioned here is a reference to <a href="/haggai/2-6.htm">Haggai 2:6</a>, where God declares that He will shake the heavens and the earth. This promise indicates a future event, suggesting a shift from the old covenant to the new covenant through Jesus Christ. It highlights God's ongoing plan and the fulfillment of His promises through Christ's redemptive work.“Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.” The phrase "once more" implies a finality and completeness to the coming shaking. This shaking is not limited to the physical realm but extends to the spiritual realm, indicating a cosmic transformation. It points to the eschatological events described in Revelation, where the heavens and the earth will be renewed. This shaking signifies the removal of what is temporary and the establishment of God's eternal kingdom. It underscores the supremacy of Christ, who mediates the new covenant, and the ultimate fulfillment of God's redemptive plan.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a> The ultimate authority whose voice has the power to shake both earth and heaven.

The terrors of Sinai were, moreover, a type of a more terrible revelation of judgment, when not only shall the earth tremble, but the earth and the heaven shall be moved, and all that is transitory and mutable shall pass away. The words of <a href="/haggai/2-6.htm" title="For thus said the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;">Haggai 2:6</a> are taken as a prophecy of this consummation. The reference of the prediction of which this forms part to the first coming of the Messiah is passed over; it is only as bearing upon the last days that the words are quoted here.Now he hath promised.--This whole time of waiting is included in the "now." It is as if the words were: "now we have this promise, and are looking for its fulfilment."I shake.--Rather (according to the better reading), I will move (or, make to tremble).<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/hebrews/12.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 26. - Whose voice then shook the earth (see <a href="/exodus/19-18.htm">Exodus 19:18</a>, "The whole mount quaked greatly," though there the LXX. has λαός instead of ὄρος: but cf. <a href="/judges/5.htm">Judges 5</a>, "The earth trembled," and <a href="/psalms/114-7.htm">Psalm 114:7</a>, "Tremble, thou earth," etc., with reference to the phenomena at Sinai; also <a href="/habakkuk/3-6.htm">Habakkuk 3:6, 10</a>): but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. The prophecy referred to is <a href="/haggai/2-6.htm">Haggai 2:6, 7</a>, "Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; and I will shake all nations, and the Desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts." Again, ver. 21, "I will shake the heavens and the earth" (cf. lea. 2:19, 21). The prophecy was uttered with reference to the second temple, the glory of which was to be greater than the glory of the first, in that it should be the scene of the LORD'S final revelation of himself to his people. Its first fulfillment is rightly seen in Christ's first coming (cf. <a href="/habakkuk/2-9.htm">Habakkuk 2:9</a>, "And in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts;" and <a href="/malachi/3-1.htm">Malachi 3:1</a>, "The Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple"). But the language used points evidently, even in itself, to a further fulfillment; nor do readers need to be reminded here of the pregnant and far-reaching sense of all Messianic prophecy. "Illustre est testimonium Psalm Newtoni ad Dan. p. 91: vixque in omni V.T. aliquod de Christo extat vaticinium, quod non, aliquatenus saltem, secundum ejus ad-ventum respiciat" (Bengel). The ultimate reference is what is seen dimly afar off in so many of the prophetic visions - the final dissolution of the whole present order of things, to be succeeded by the kingdom of eternal righteousness (cf. <a href="/psalms/102-25.htm">Psalm 102:25</a>, etc.). By the heaven that is to be shaken in that great day is meant, of course, not the eternal abode of God, but that which is created and visible (τῶν πεποιημένων, ver. 27). This final shaking is set against the local and typical shaking of Mount Sinai in two points of contrast - its extending to the whole creation, and its being once for all (ἔτι ἅπαξ); and from the latter expression the removing of the things thus finally shaken is in the next verse inferred. This inference, though not following necessarily from the expression itself, is involved in the general drift of Haggai's prophecy, taken in connection with other cognate ones, in which an entirely new and heavenly order is pictured as rising over the ruins of the old (cf. <a href="/isaiah/65-17.htm">Isaiah 65:17</a>; <a href="/isaiah/66-22.htm">Isaiah 66:22</a>, referred to in <a href="/2_peter/3-7.htm">2 Peter 3:7, 10, 13</a>, "new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." <a href="/commentaries/hebrews/12-26.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>At that time τότε (tote) Adverb <a href="/greek/strongs_5119.htm">Strong's 5119: </a> Then, at that time.
