27 Or, ces mots: Encore une fois, marquent l'abolition des choses muables, en tant que faites, pour que les immuables subsistent.

Hébreux 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.

Hébreux 12:27 In-Context

25 Prenez garde de ne pas mépriser celui qui vous parle; car si ceux qui méprisaient celui qui les avertissait sur la terre, de la part de Dieu, n'échappèrent point, nous échapperons encore moins, nous qui nous détournons de celui qui parle des cieux;

26 Dont la voix ébranla alors la terre, et qui maintenant a fait cette promesse en disant: Encore une fois j'ébranlerai non seulement la terre, mais aussi le ciel.

27 Or, ces mots: Encore une fois, marquent l'abolition des choses muables, en tant que faites, pour que les immuables subsistent.

28 C'est pourquoi, saisissant le royaume inébranlable, conservons la grâce, afin que par elle nous rendions notre culte à Dieu d'une manière qui lui soit agréable, avec respect et crainte;

29 Car notre Dieu est aussi un feu dévorant.
