Hebreos 12:26

26 Su voz hizo temblar entonces la tierra, pero ahora El ha prometido, diciendo: AUN UNA VEZ MAS, YO HARE TEMBLAR NO SOLO LA TIERRA, SINO TAMBIEN EL CIELO.

Hebreos 12:26 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 12:26

Whose voice then shook the earth
That is, at the giving of the law on Mount Sinai: Christ was then present; his voice was then heard; which was either the voice of thunder, or the voice of the trumpet, or rather the voice of words: this shook the earth, Sinai, and the land about it, and the people on it; which made them quake and tremble, even Moses himself; see ( Exodus 19:18 ) ( Psalms 68:8 )

but now he hath promised, saying
in ( Haggai 2:6 )

yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven;
not only the land of Judea, and particularly Jerusalem, and the inhabitants of it, who were all shaken, and moved, and troubled at the news of the birth of the Messiah, the desire of all nations, the prophet Haggai speaks of, ( Matthew 2:2 Matthew 2:3 ) but the heaven also; by prodigies in it, as the appearance of a wonderful star, which guided the wise men from the east; and by the motions of the heavenly inhabitants, the angels, who descended in great numbers, and made the heavens resound with their songs of praise, on account of Christ's incarnation, ( Matthew 2:2 ) ( Luke 2:10 Luke 2:13 Luke 2:14 ) . How the apostle explains and applies this, may be seen in the next verse.

Hebreos 12:26 In-Context

24 y a Jesús, el mediador del nuevo pacto, y a la sangre rociada que habla mejor que la sangre de Abel.
25 Mirad que no rechacéis al que habla. Porque si aquéllos no escaparon cuando rechazaron al que les amonestó sobre la tierra, mucho menos escaparemos nosotros si nos apartamos de aquel que nos amonesta desde el cielo.
26 Su voz hizo temblar entonces la tierra, pero ahora El ha prometido, diciendo: AUN UNA VEZ MAS, YO HARE TEMBLAR NO SOLO LA TIERRA, SINO TAMBIEN EL CIELO.
27 Y esta expresión: Aún, una vez más, indica la remoción de las cosas movibles, como las cosas creadas, a fin de que permanezcan las cosas que son inconmovibles.
28 Por lo cual, puesto que recibimos un reino que es inconmovible, demostremos gratitud, mediante la cual ofrezcamos a Dios un servicio aceptable con temor y reverencia;
