How does God's shaking of the earth relate to His mercy and judgment?

Answered in 1 source

God's shaking of the earth symbolizes His judgment on the unrighteous while simultaneously demonstrating His mercy to the elect.

The shaking of the earth, mentioned in Hebrews 12 and Haggai 2, signifies both God's judgment upon those who refuse Him and His mercy towards the elect. When God shakes the heavens and the earth, it's a clear call to accountability for sin, echoing His wrath against unbelief. However, for His elect, it becomes a means of salvation as He gathers them to Himself. This dual aspect of shaking reveals God’s intention to purify and establish what cannot be shaken—the eternal kingdom of Christ, in which believers find their security and hope.
