What does the Bible say about God's promise to shake the heavens and the earth?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that God will shake the heavens and the earth as a sign of His sovereignty and to reveal what is unshakeable, as seen in Hebrews 12:26-27.

In Hebrews 12:26-27, the author quotes a prophecy that reflects God's promise to shake not only the earth but also the heavens. This shaking symbolizes the removal of all that is temporal and opposed to His kingdom, while affirming the permanence of what cannot be shaken—the church and the faith of God's elect. This promise traces back to Haggai, illustrating God's intention to cleanse His creation of everything that stands against His authority, thereby preparing for His eternal kingdom. The shaking signifies both God's judgment upon the ungodly and His mercy towards His elect who are brought to faith and hope in the eternal gospel.
