The context shows us that "Th" do

the result Of great shaking OF the
heavens and earth and sea and all
nations. This is prophetic Of the great
time Of trouble. with which the col

this very passage in his epistle to the
Hebrews txii. 26-2S). He pointed out
that the literal shaking of Mt. Sinai

that the Kingdom which the Church

and will cry unto the Lord for help
and for the desired peace-then "the

Referring to this time of trouble the
