Hebrews 12:26-29 ~MEDITATION~ Hebreos 12: At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken —that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 26 Su voz hizo temblar entonces la tierra, pero ahora El ha prometido, diciendo: AUN UNA VEZ MAS, YO H ARE TEMBLAR NO SOLO LA TIERRA, SINO TAMBIEN EL CIELO. 27 Yesta expresión: Aún, una vez más, indica la remoción de las cosas movibles, como las cosas creadas, a fin de que permanezcan las cosas que son inconmovibles. 28 Por lo cual, puesto que recibimos un reino que es inconmovible, demostremos gratitud, mediante la cual ofrezcamos a Dios un servicio aceptable con temor y reverencia; 29 porque nuestro Dios es fuego consumidor.

Zerubbabel, Governor of Judah Meaning of his name: (Sown in Babylon) or (Seed of Babylon) o An heir to the throne of Judah o I Chronicles 3: o In the company of the returning exiles o Ezra 2: o In the genealogy of Jesus Christ o Matthew 1: o Luke 3:

An Unshakeable Kingdom  A continued shaking (2:7,8)  A judgment on the kingdoms of the nations  A miraculous intervention

“The prophet uses traditional vocabulary for God’s miraculous intervention. As at the Exodus horses, chariots and riders will go down; kingdoms will be overthrown as were Sodom and Gomorrah; men will fall every one by the sword of his fellow(as in the story of Gideon). The fact that Judah is small and defenseless makes no difference when God says “I will overthrow”, He will act, and Judah will not need to fight.” Joyce Baldwin

A Chosen King  The chosen servant  The restored signet ring  The re-stated promise

“Jehovah, had chosen Zerubbabel as His servant. With these words the Messianic promise made to David was transferred to Zerubbabel and his family among David’s descendents, and would be fulfilled in his person in just the same way as the promise given to David…The fulfillment culminates in Jesus Christ, the son of David and descendant of Zerubbabel, in whom Zerubbabel was made the signet-ring of Jehovah. Jesus Christ has raised up the kingdom of His father David again, and of His kingdom there will be no end." Keil & Delitzsch
