For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
I'm speaking from a place of fierce love and burning anger, when that day comes, the entire land of Israel is going to shake like nothing you've ever seen.
When God's protective love turns to righteous anger, even the ground trembles.
