Mark A. Copeland<br />
B. THE ONE WHO SPEAKS WILL SHAKE HEAVEN AND EARTH... (26-27)<br />
1. When God spoke at Mount Sinai, the earth trembled - Exo 19:18<br />
2. <strong>The</strong> day is coming when both heaven and earth will be shaken, even removed!<br />
a. As promised in Hag 2:6<br />
b. Which refers to “the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are<br />
made” - cf. 2 Pe 3:10-12<br />
-- Dare we refuse to heed Him who speaks with such impact?<br />
C. WE ARE RECEIVING A KINGDOM WHICH CANNOT BE SHAKEN... (28)<br />
1. While everything made will one day perish, we “are receiving” a kingdom which cannot be<br />
shaken!<br />
a. Note the present tense (“are receiving”)<br />
b. Thus we are in the process of receiving this “kingdom”<br />
2. It is a kingdom both present and future...<br />
a. In one sense, we are now “in” the kingdom - cf. Co 1:13; Re 1:9<br />
b. In another sense, we have yet to enter the kingdom - cf. 2 Pe 1:10-11<br />
3. It is a kingdom...<br />
a. Inaugurated when Jesus ascended to sit at God’s right hand on David’s throne<br />
- Ac 2:30-36<br />
b. <strong>To</strong> be culminated when Jesus returns to deliver the kingdom to God - 1 Co 15:23-26<br />
4. Thus it is a kingdom...<br />
a. “which shall never be destroyed...it shall stand forever” - Dan 2:44<br />
b. Of which “there will be no end” - Lk 1:33<br />
-- Receiving such a kingdom, dare we refuse to heed Him who speaks?<br />
D. THE ONE WHO SPEAKS IS “A CONSUMING FIRE”... (29)<br />
1. We’ve read of a “fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries” - He 10:27<br />
2. We’ve seen “it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” - He 10:31<br />
3. Even Jesus taught us to “fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” - Mt<br />
10:28<br />
-- Dare we refuse to heed such an awesome God?<br />
CONCLUSION<br />
1. God has indeed spoken...<br />
a. He has spoken through His Son - cf. He 1:1-2<br />
b. He has spoken from Mount Zion, that heavenly city, the New Jerusalem...<br />
1) <strong>To</strong> which we have come through an obedient faith in Jesus - cf. He 5:9<br />
2) Where we can enjoy the fellowship of angels, the redeemed in heaven and on earth, and of<br />
Jesus and God Himself!<br />
3) Where we can enjoy a New and better covenant, based upon the better sacrifice of Jesus’<br />
blood!<br />
2. But with such wonderful blessings come the responsibility of giving heed...<br />
a. Not to neglect our great salvation<br />
b. Not to refuse Him who speaks from the heavenly “mountain”<br />
<strong>The</strong>refore our goal should be that as expressed by the author himself:<br />
