“ For this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: In just a little while I will again shake the heavens and the earth, the oceans and the dry land.

“‘万军之耶和华说，不久，我要再次震动天、地、海洋和旱地。

因为万军之耶和华这样说：“再过不多的时候，我要震动天、地、海洋和旱地。”

萬軍之耶和華如此說：「過不多時，我必再一次震動天地、滄海，與旱地。

萬軍之耶和華曰、再延片時、我將震動天地海陸、

萬有之主耶和華曰、當延片晷、我將震動天地、撼搖山海、

萬有之主如是云、再俟片時、我將震動天地、震動滄海及陸地、

“ This is what the Lord Almighty says:‘ In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.

The Lord says,“ In a little while I will shake the heavens and the earth once more. I will also shake the ocean and the dry land.

For thus says the Lord of hosts: Yet once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land.

For the LORD of Armies says this:“ Once more, in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.

For this is what the Lord of armies says:‘ Once more in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land.

“ For thus says the Lord of hosts:‘ Once more( it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land;

For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

For the Lord of Hosts says this:“ Once more, in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it[ is] a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry[ land];

Moreover, the LORD who rules over all says:‘ In just a little while I will once again shake the sky and the earth, the sea and the dry ground.

For this is what Yahweh of Armies says:‘ Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land;

In a little while my anger against you will end, and then my anger will rise up to destroy them.”

When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise:“ Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.”This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain.Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe.

“ And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides.People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the heavens will be shaken.Then everyone will see the Son of Man coming on a cloud with power and great glory.

“ At that time, after the anguish of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light,the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.Then everyone will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds with great power and glory.

And I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below— blood and fire and clouds of smoke.

“ For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay.

Soon— and it will not be very long— the forests of Lebanon will become a fertile field, and the fertile field will yield bountiful crops.

I looked at the earth, and it was empty and formless. I looked at the heavens, and there was no light.I looked at the mountains and hills, and they trembled and shook.I looked, and all the people were gone. All the birds of the sky had flown away.I looked, and the fertile fields had become a wilderness. The towns lay in ruins, crushed by the Lord’s fierce anger.

“ Immediately after the anguish of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Soon the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone.

And I will cause wonders in the heavens and on the earth— blood and fire and columns of smoke.The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible day of the Lord arrives.But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, for some on Mount Zion in Jerusalem will escape, just as the Lord has said. These will be among the survivors whom the Lord has called.

All living things— the fish in the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, the small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the people on earth— will quake in terror at my presence. Mountains will be thrown down; cliffs will crumble; walls will fall to the earth.

I looked up and saw a white horse standing there. Its rider carried a bow, and a crown was placed on his head. He rode out to win many battles and gain the victory.When the Lamb broke the second seal, I heard the second living being say,“ Come!”Then another horse appeared, a red one. Its rider was given a mighty sword and the authority to take peace from the earth. And there was war and slaughter everywhere.When the Lamb broke the third seal, I heard the third living being say,“ Come!” I looked up and saw a black horse, and its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.And I heard a voice from among the four living beings say,“ A loaf of wheat bread or three loaves of barley will cost a day’s pay. And don’t waste the olive oil and wine.”When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living being say,“ Come!”I looked up and saw a horse whose color was pale green. Its rider was named Death, and his companion was the Grave. These two were given authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and famine and disease and wild animals.When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of all who had been martyred for the word of God and for being faithful in their testimony.They shouted to the Lord and said,“ O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge the people who belong to this world and avenge our blood for what they have done to us?”Then a white robe was given to each of them. And they were told to rest a little longer until the full number of their brothers and sisters— their fellow servants of Jesus who were to be martyred— had joined them.I watched as the Lamb broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became as dark as black cloth, and the moon became as red as blood.Then the stars of the sky fell to the earth like green figs falling from a tree shaken by a strong wind.The sky was rolled up like a scroll, and all of the mountains and islands were moved from their places.Then everyone— the kings of the earth, the rulers, the generals, the wealthy, the powerful, and every slave and free person— all hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.And they cried to the mountains and the rocks,“ Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.For the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to survive?”

This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says:“ Babylon is like wheat on a threshing floor, about to be trampled. In just a little while her harvest will begin.”

The heavens above will melt away and disappear like a rolled up scroll. The stars will fall from the sky like withered leaves from a grapevine, or shriveled figs from a fig tree.

“ Tell Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, that I am about to shake the heavens and the earth.I will overthrow royal thrones and destroy the power of foreign kingdoms. I will overturn their chariots and riders. The horses will fall, and their riders will kill each other.

Then the angel filled the incense burner with fire from the altar and threw it down upon the earth; and thunder crashed, lightning flashed, and there was a terrible earthquake.Then the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to blow their mighty blasts.The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down on the earth. One third of the earth was set on fire, one third of the trees were burned, and all the green grass was burned.Then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea. One third of the water in the sea became blood,one third of all things living in the sea died, and one third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed.Then the third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch. It fell on one third of the rivers and on the springs of water.The name of the star was Bitterness. It made one third of the water bitter, and many people died from drinking the bitter water.Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars, and they became dark. And one third of the day was dark, and also one third of the night.

The Lord’s voice will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth will shake. But the Lord will be a refuge for his people, a strong fortress for the people of Israel.

And for three and a half days, all peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will stare at their bodies. No one will be allowed to bury them.
