See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

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.

Hebrews 12:26

12:26 saying. See Haggai 2:6 for this reference. In the context the prophet sees a coming worldwide earthquake, probably the same as that seen by John (Revelation 16:18-21), following which “the desire of all nations shall come…and I fill this house with glory” (Haggai 2:7).

Hebrews 12:27

12:27 things which cannot be shaken. According to Haggai 2:5-7, all things in the world will be “shaken” in the coming judgment period, but the things which cannot be shaken—that is, God’s kingdom (Hebrews 12:28), His salvation (Isaiah 51:6), Christ’s words (Matthew 24:35), and those who do God’s will (I John 2:17)—will remain.
