and to Jesus ,
the mediator of a new covenant ,
and to the sprinkled blood that speaks more graciously than the blood of Abel .
*
See that you do not refuse him who is speaking .
For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth ,
much less shall we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven .
*
His voice then shook the earth ;
but now he has promised , "
Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven ."
*
This phrase , "
Yet once more ,"
indicates the removal of what is shaken ,
as of what has been made ,
in order that what cannot be shaken may remain .
*
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken ,
and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship ,
with reverence and awe ;
*
for our God is a consuming fire .
