Of the living and the dead (Acts 10:42–43)

All men everywhere (Acts 17:30–31) Therefore repent and prepare to meet the judge (Jesus)

Parable of the Pounds (Minas) (Luke 19)

Three shakings:
1. Preliminary - already begun
2. Intermediate - probably not yet begun
3. Final - certainly not yet begun
What can be shaken? Picture of the house on the rock (Luke 6:46–49). No difference in the severity of the test (storm)
1. Individual lives
2. Households (Matt. 12:25)
  1. "A house divided against itself"
  2. Break-up of families
  3. Hordes of unparented children
3. Institutions not founded on the teaching of Jesus (i.e., Savings and Loan failure, businesses, governments [e.g., Soviet Union], religious institutions)
4. Material structures (Is. 2:12ff; 30:25) - great slaughter when the towers fall
5. The whole earth (Rev. 6:12) - every mountain and island moved out of place
6. Heavenly bodies (Matt. 24:29) - sun, moon, stars, powers of heaven

Three reasons why:
1. Transgressed the law
2. Changed the ordinance
3. Broke the everlasting covenant
Shaking continues (Is. 24:17)
Climax appointed by God (Is. 24:21)
1. Establishment of Lord's kingdom on earth with Jerusalem as capital
2. Thy kingdom come
3. Triple glory: Jesus, the Father, the angels (Luke 9:26)
4. One thing sinful man cannot bear (Rev. 6:14)
