Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created:
and thou renewest the face of the earth. psalms 104:30
-In 6 days God renewed the face of the earth.
The creation of Romans 8 cannot be desiring and hoping for a release from
bondage if it had not at first been perfect and not in bondage sometime before.
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.
That Hebrews 12 Scripture is declaring that God once more will shake
not the earth only, but also heaven. That description comes from Scripture
like Isaiah 2, Isaiah 13, and Haggai 2 about the future when God will cause
this earth to tremble in removing the 'elements' of man's works off it (2 Pet.3:10).
Why the phrase "once more" though, which points to at least one previous time
that He shook the earth to that level?
