A Kingdom That Cannot Be Shaken

¹⁸For you have not come to zwhat may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest ¹⁹and athe sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words bmade the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them. ²⁰For they could not endure the order that was given, c“If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” ²¹Indeed, dso terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I tremble with fear.” ²²But you have come to eMount Zion and to the city of the living God, fthe heavenly Jerusalem, and to ginnumerable angels in festal gathering, ²³and to hthe assembly1 of the firstborn who are ienrolled in heaven, and to jGod, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, ²⁴and to Jesus, kthe mediator of a new covenant, and to lthe sprinkled blood mthat speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
