Hebreos 12:27

27 Y lo que dice: Aún una vez, declara el quitar de las cosas movibles, como de cosas hechizas, para que queden las que son firmes

Hebreos 12:27 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 12:27

And this word yet once more
Or as it is in ( Haggai 2:6 ) "yet once it is a little while"; which suggests, that as something had been done already, so in a very little time, and at once, something very marvellous and surprising would be effected: and it

signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of
things that are made;
which some understand of what will be done at Christ's coming to judgment; as the passing away of the heavens and the earth, which are things that are made, or created, by the power of God; when there will be a shaking of them, so as that they shall be removed, and pass away with a great noise; and so they interpret the next clause, of the permanency of the new heavens and the new earth, and of the immovable kingdom of glory, and the never fading inheritance of the saints; and of their fixed, unalterable, and unshaken state: but rather this is to be understood of Christ's coming to the destruction of Jerusalem; when there was an entire removal of the Jewish state, both political and ecclesiastical; and of the whole Mosaic economy; and of things appertaining to divine worship, which were made with hands, as the temple, and the things in it; and which were made to be removed; for they were to continue no longer than the time of reformation: and this removing of them designs the abolition of them, and entire putting an end to them; at which time, not only their civil government was wholly put down, but their ecclesiastic state also; for the place of their worship was destroyed, the daily sacrifice ceased, and the old covenant, and the manner of administering it, vanished away; and all the legal institutions and ordinances, which were abolished by the death of Christ, were no more performed in Jerusalem; the temple and temple service perishing together:

that those things which cannot be shaken may remain:
the kingdom and priesthood of Christ, which are everlasting; and the good things which come by him, as remission of sins, justification, adoption, sanctification, and the heavenly inheritance; as also the Gospel, and the doctrines and ordinances of it, baptism, and the Lord's supper, and the mode of Gospel worship; all which are to continue until Christ's second coming.

Hebreos 12:27 In-Context

25 Mirad que no desechéis al que habla. Porque si no escaparon aquellos que desecharon al que hablaba en la tierra, mucho menos escaparemos nosotros, si desechamos al que habla desde los cielos

26 La voz del cual entonces conmovió la tierra; mas ahora ha denunciado, diciendo: Aún una vez, y yo conmoveré no solamente la tierra, sino también el cielo

27 Y lo que dice: Aún una vez, declara el quitar de las cosas movibles, como de cosas hechizas, para que queden las que son firmes

28 Así que, tomando el Reino inmóvil, retengamos la gracia por la cual sirvamos a Dios, agradándole con temor y reverencia

29 Porque nuestro Dios es fuego consumidor
