David Wilkerson emphasizes that God is shaking the world to awaken humanity from spiritual slumber, much like a parent gently shakes a sleeping child. He illustrates this divine shaking through recent earthquakes and prophetic scriptures, indicating that God’s intention is to reveal His unshakable power amidst chaos. The shaking is a call to repentance and awareness of God's presence, as foretold by prophets like Isaiah and Ezekiel. Ultimately, this divine intervention aims to strip away all that is temporary, leaving only what is eternal.
