The beginning of the end leading to the Rapture Cont., 2. The Heavens are shaken Additionally, the heavens will be shaken as well: 17Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. 18And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. 19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. 20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. (Isaiah 24) . In verse 17, The Lord is specifically addressing this passage of warning and woe to the “inhabitants of the earth.” The distinction is being made because the wicked angels are going to be cast down to Earth. In this passage the “high ones that are on high” are a reference to the “heavenly host” (as confirmed by the Septuagint) or the angels of Heaven God will shake the heavens as well to punish the rebellious angels along with the wicked unbelieving people of the Earth at the Day of The Lord. Notice The Lord in verse 18 states that the “windows from on high are open” again signifying things falling from Heaven to Earth. And this opening is coupled with the shaking of the Earth. This “dual shaking” is also confirmed in the book of Hebrews Chapter 11:25 “See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.” The rebellious angels, who have left their first estate to intermingle with humans, will be removed from Heaven permanently at this point and cast to the Earth. When the Heavens are shaken, the evil, rebel angels and Satan will be cast to the Earth. This is very important because there are several earthquakes detailed in the Book of Revelation. However, the 6th seal has the only earthquake where both the Earth and the Heavens are shaken, sending the stars of Heaven to the Earth. Once again, the 6th Seal of Revelation uniquely qualifies as the start of the Day of The Lord. 6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. 7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt: 8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. …13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. (Isaiah 13)
