"Before long I will shake heaven and earth, land and sea.

I will overthrow all the nations, and their treasures will be brought here, and the Temple will be filled with wealth.

for Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah: "I am about to shake heaven and earth

and overthrow kingdoms and end their power. I will overturn chariots and their drivers; the horses will die, and their riders will kill one another.
