When God Rises To Shake The Earth

You have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob

(America and the nations of the world).

They are full of superstitions from the East;

They practice divination like the Philistines and clasp hands with pagans.

Their land is full of silver and gold;

There is no end to their treasures.

Their land is full of horses; there is no end to their chariots.

Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands,

To what their fingers have made.

So man will be brought low and mankind humbled—do not forgive them.

Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from dread of the Lord

And the splendor of his majesty!

The eyes of the arrogant man will be humbled

And the pride of men brought low;

The Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

The Lord Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty,

For all that is exalted (and they will be humbled),

For all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty,

And all the oaks of Bashan,

For all the towering mountains and all the high hills,

For every lofty tower and every fortified wall,

For every trading ship and every stately vessel.

The arrogance of man will be brought low and the pride of men humbled.

The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,

And the idols will totally disappear.

Men will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground

From the dread of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty,

When he rises to shake the earth.

In that day men will throw away to the rodents and bats 

Their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship.

They will flee to caverns in the rocks 

And to the overhanging crags from dread of the Lord

And the splendor of his majesty,

When He rises to shake the earth.

Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils.

Of what account is he? (Isaiah 2:6-22 NIV)

God is at this time shaking the nations of the earth

All the nations that have rejected His Christ, Jesus.

This shaking will be ever increasing

Until it merges into “that day,” when He rises to shake the earth in

The Great Tribulation.

Only those who have put their faith, hope and trust in the Rock, Christ Jesus,

Will not be shaken.

At the end of The Great Tribulation few humans will be alive

And the earth will be devastated.

Everything man holds dear will be destroyed.

God will have eradicated sin from the earth

Satan will be bound for a thousand years 

And the Antichrist sent to The Lake of Fire,

Along with all who received his “mark.”

Picture in your mind the devastation of the tornado that struck Joplin Missouri,

The devastation of the worst of the earthquake and tsunami 

That struck Japan.

This is what is going to come upon the whole the earth

As God rises to shake the earth that rejected His Christ, Jesus.

The end of all things is near. (1 Peter 4:7 NIV)
