The writer quotes the prophecy of Haggai 2:6. This will be fulfilled during the Great Tribulation period at which time the movements and functions of the heavenly bodies will be disorganized (Revelation 6:12-17; 8:12), and an earthquake will shake the entire earth, occurring at the moment the Messiah’s feet touch the Mount of Olives at the close of the Great Tribulation (Zechariah 14:4-5; Revelation 6:12; 11:13; 16:18) \u2014 Wuest, page 230.<\/span><\/h3>\n
