Heb. 12:26. Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

Blank Bible:

26v whose voice then shook the Earth etc.] the voice that spoke on earth shook the earth but the voice that speaks to us from Heaven shakes both Heaven and Earth. Moses may perhaps be intended by him that spoke on Earth for when he spoke from Mt. Sinai he brought the Law from thence and Korah and his company he intended by "that refused." vid Miscel No. 664.

Misc. 664.a explains:

664.a. THE GREATNESS OF THE SIN OF UNBELIEF. The sin of unbelief is exceedingly provoking to God because thereby his only begotten Son is condemned & ill treated. & how incensing that must be to the wrath [sic] we may judge, by considering how soon & how greatly God's wrath was wont to be stir'd up by an ill treatment of the saints they who were but Christ's disciples were so dear to God & God set so high a value upon them that he touched the apple of Gods eye & his wrath was effectually roused by it despising of them was a great crime Matthew 18:10. Take heed that he despise not one of these little ones etc. - but how much dearer to God is his only begotten Son, & how much higher a value doth he set upon him. John 3:18, because he hath not believed on the only begotten Son of G.

Especially if any of the saints came from God with a gracious message to men if they were then treated with indignity, did God highly resent it. Thus how highly did God resent it when Corah & his company envied Moses & treated him ill & rejected him how terribly were they destroyed. But 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.

In "The Eternity of Hell Torments" we read:

[W]hen the Scripture speaks of the wicked's being sentenced to their punishment at the time when all temporal things are come to an end, it then speaks of it as everlasting, as in the text, and elsewhere. - It is true that the term forever is not always in Scripture used to signify eternity. Sometimes it means, as long as a man liveth. In this sense it is said, that the Hebrew servant, who chose to abide with his master, should have his ear bored, and should serve his master forever. - Sometimes it means, during the continuance of the state and church of the Jews. In this sense, several laws, which were peculiar to that church, and were to continue in force no longer than that church should last, are called statutes forever. See Exodus 27:21; Exodus 28:43, etc. - Sometimes it means as long as the world stands. So in Ecclesiastes 1:4, "One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth forever."

And this last is the longest temporal duration that such a term is used to signify. There is no instance of using such a term, for a long duration, when it signifies a temporal duration: for the duration of the world is doubtless the longest of any of those things that are temporal, as its beginning was the earliest of any of those things that are temporal. Therefore when the Scripture speaks of things as being before the foundation of the world, it means that they existed from eternity, and before the beginning of time. So those things which continue after the end of the world, are eternal things, and are after the end of time. - Doubtless when the temporal world is at an end, there will be an end of temporal things. When the time comes that heaven and earth are shaken and removed, those things that remain will be things that cannot be shaken, but will remain forever, Hebrews 12:26; Hebrews 12:27. - This visible world contains all things that are seen and are temporal; and therefore when that is at an end, there will be an end of all things that are temporal, and therefore the things that remain after that will be eternal.
