Ibrani 12:27

12:27 Now this phrase “once more” indicates the removal of what is shaken, that is, of created things, so that what is unshaken may remain.

Yesaya 2:19

2:19 They ¹  will go into caves in the rocky cliffs

and into holes in the ground, ² 

trying to escape the dreadful judgment of the Lord ³ 

and his royal splendor,

when he rises up to terrify the earth. ⁴ 

Yesaya 13:13

13:13 So I will shake the heavens, ⁵ 

and the earth will shake loose from its foundation, ⁶ 

because of the fury of the Lord who commands armies,

in the day he vents his raging anger. ⁷ 

Yoel 3:16

3:16 The Lord roars from Zion;

from Jerusalem ⁸  his voice bellows out. ⁹ 

The heavens ¹⁰  and the earth shake.

But the Lord is a refuge for his people;

he is a stronghold for the citizens ¹¹  of Israel.

Hagai 2:6-7

2:6 Moreover, the Lord who rules over all says: ‘In just a little while ¹²  I will once again shake the sky ¹³  and the earth, the sea and the dry ground. 2:7 I will also shake up all the nations, and they ¹⁴  will offer their treasures; ¹⁵  then I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord who rules over all.

Hagai 2:22

2:22 I will overthrow royal thrones and shatter the might of earthly kingdoms. ¹⁶  I will overthrow chariots and those who ride them, and horses and their riders will fall as people kill one another. ¹⁷ 

[2:19]  ¹ tn The identity of the grammatical subject is unclear. The “idols” could be the subject; they will “go” into the caves and holes when the idolaters throw them there in their haste to escape God’s judgment (see vv. 20-21). The picture of the idols, which represent the foreign deities worshiped by the people, fleeing from the Lord would be highly polemical and fit the overall mood of the chapter. However it seems more likely that the idolaters themselves are the subject, for v. 10 uses similar language in sarcastically urging them to run from judgment.

[2:19]  ² tn Heb “dust”; ASV “into the holes of the earth.”

[2:19]  ³ tn Heb “from the dread of the Lord,” that is, from the dread that he produces in the objects of his judgment.” The words “trying to escape” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[2:19]  ⁴ tn Or “land.” It is not certain if these verses are describing the judgment of Judah (see vv. 6-9) or a more universal judgment on all proud men.

[13:13]  ⁵ tn Or “the sky.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heavens” or “sky” depending on the context.

[13:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “from its place” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NCV).

[13:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “and in the day of the raging of his anger.”

[3:16]  ⁸ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[3:16]  ⁹ tn Heb “he sounds forth his voice.”

[3:16]  ¹⁰ tn Or “the sky.” See the note on “sky” in 2:30.

[3:16]  ¹¹ tn Heb “sons.”

[2:6]  ¹² tc The difficult MT reading עוֹד אַחַת מְעַט הִיא (’od ’akhat mÿ’at hi’, “yet once, it is little”; cf. NAB “One moment yet, a little while”) appears as “yet once” in the LXX, omitting the last two Hebrew words. However, the point being made is that the anticipated action is imminent; thus the repetition provides emphasis.

[2:6]  ¹³ tn Or “the heavens.” The same Hebrew word, שָׁמַיִם (shamayim), may be translated “sky” or “heavens” depending on the context. Although many English versions translate the term as “heavens” here, the other three elements present in this context (earth, sea, dry ground) suggest “sky” is in view.

[2:7]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “all the nations.”

[2:7]  ¹⁵ tn Though the subject here is singular (חֶמְדַּה, khemdah; “desire”), the preceding plural predicate mandates a collective subject, “desired (things)” or, better, an emendation to a plural form, חֲמֻדֹת (khamudot, “desirable [things],” hence “treasures”). Cf. ASV “the precious things”; NASB “the wealth”; NRSV “the treasure.” In the OT context this has no direct reference to the coming of the Messiah.

[2:22]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the kingdoms of the nations.” Cf. KJV “the kingdoms of the heathen”; NIV, NLT “foreign kingdoms.”

[2:22]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and horses and their riders will go down, a man with a sword his brother”; KJV “every one by the sword of his brother.”
