We know Hebrews chapter 12, verse 25-29 so well! But what if the unprecedented number of earthquakes, tornadoes, solar flares, and cyclones is more applicable to our time’ prophetically, than at any other time in history? Please read the following verses and place your comment underneath.
“For you have not come to the mountain that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard begged that the message should not be spoken to them any more: for they could not endure that which was commanded: ‘That if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a spear.’ So terrible was the sight, that Moses said, ‘I exceedingly fear and quake.’
“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect; and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.
“See that you do not refuse Him who speaks, for if those did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, how will we possibly escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven: whose voice then shook the earth: but now He has promised, saying, ‘Yet once more I will I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.’ And these words, ‘Yet once more’ signify the removing of those things that are shaken — things made; so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
“Therefore, we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: for our God is a consuming fire.”
These verses, from the Book of Hebrews, chapter 12, verses 25 to 29, have been applicable to Christians for more than 2000 years. Notwithstanding this, they may well have been written for those who would be living in the End Time — which appears to me to be us — you and I. (The End Time for Jerusalem and the people of Judah was in the years prior to the destruction of the Temple in AD70. But the End Time for the Church is, I believe, now upon us.
The apostles Paul and James warned those living in their time that “the end of days” was upon them and that the Judge was “standing at the door”. The terrors and tragedies that are now taking place will be far worse than those in Jerusalem in AD70. Don’t say you were not warned!
The only, repeat only, thing that cannot be shaken is the Kingdom of God, which is spiritual in the hearts and lives of all those who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. It will become material, tangible, and physically real when Jesus returns openly and visibly to earth to reign over the nations. Christians will rise to meet and greet him, and in a microsecond — “the twinkling of an eye” — will become immortal and will be rewarded thereafter by reigning with him. You did not know this? Read I Thessalonians, chapter 4, verses 13-18 and I Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 19-28 — and be ready!
