“On that same day, December 18, the Lord sent this second message to Haggai: “Tell Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, that I am about to shake the heavens and the earth.”
Haggai 2:20-21 NLT
God’s ability is supreme. He starts this section of prophecy by stating something profound. He declares that he is “about to shake the heavens and the earth.” This is no small task and gravity of the statement, tho not a literal prophecy of earthquake, is still on a cosmic level. It is not something that happens. It is something that will happen out of God’s appointed will. This is an appointed reality with eternal and consequences. It is a prophecy bestowed upon one man. This isn’t the first time that God has done this. He has the capability and skill to force a reality altering change with pinpoint accuracy into his own narrative. When we are in desperate times, we must remember who our God is. We must take solice in this agency and appeal to him on the basis of recognition of it as well as submission to it. Jesus showed us the way when he prayed in Gethsemane. We should want to recognize that he is always able to move heaven and earth if it fits in with his plan.
