    • 12:26

      his voice shook the earth: This phrase refers to the voice of God, which proved to be so powerful that it shook the earth at Mount Sinai.​—Ex 19:18, 19; Ps 68:8.

      Yet once more I will shake: This quotation is taken from Hag 2:6. In the sixth century B.C.E., God used his prophet Haggai to strengthen His people who were rebuilding His temple in Jerusalem. Jehovah told them that just as His voice had shaken the earth at Mount Sinai in Moses’ day, so He would speak “yet once more” in their day, shaking those who opposed His people and their sacred work. In the following verse, Paul shows that the phrase “yet once more” also signals a future fulfillment.​—See study note on Heb 12:27.
