The Shaking and Translating of Heaven and Earth

Preached to Parliament in April 1649, this bold sermon expounds Hebrews 12:27 — the divine promise to shake heaven and earth. Owen interprets the shaking of nations not as cosmic destruction but as God's providential overturning of the political structures cemented by Antichristian tyranny, making way for the unshakable kingdom of Christ. Drawing from Haggai, Daniel, and Revelation, Owen calls Parliament to align their governance with Christ's reign, offering six urgent applications for spiritual watchfulness, civic faithfulness, and fearless hope amid turbulent times.
