Thus saith The LORD: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth , and the sea, and the dry land; and I will shake the nations, and the desire of all the nations shall come. (Haggai 2:6-7).
But this yet once again, signifies the removing of what is shaken, as being made, that what is not shaken may remain, (Hebrews 12:27).
No one will deny that we have recently experienced an unknown degree of natural disasters. The number of forest fires, most of which have originated from lightning strikes, which have been in excess of those reported in the previous years. So are the number of tornados that have devastated whole towns in Alabama, Kentucky and Ontario. Floods have covered great tracts of rural and urban land. Earthquakes that shook the Indian and Pacific Oceans a few years ago were followed by one near Japan that, through its accompanying Tsunami, they destroyed great swaths of land and greatly affected much of Japan's nuclear industry. Many who have felt the impact of these disasters firsthand readily agree: Both earth and heaven have been shaken. The August 2011 earthquake in Virginia surprised many people. Who had ever expected such a strong earthquake in the eastern United States! Yet, it was felt in places well over a 1000 miles from its epicenter.
IS THIS THE HAND OF GOD, GIVING US THESE WARNINGS, IN HIS GREAT MERCY?
Sad to say, most people will not even think of GOD, though some may cry in their distress: "Oh GOD, save me", yet soon forget that they ever called on The GOD whose existence they thus far have denied. Still, GOD has spoken! HE has told us that, "Yet once again I will shake the heavens and the earth". Those who know HIM as their GOD and FATHER through The LORD JESUS CHRIST realize that "The desire of all the nations shall come". The day is at hand! Indeed, The LORD's coming is very near, almost at the door. LORD JESUS CHRIST, come!
