"And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come" (Haggai 2:7).

When nations are shaken and the Church is troubled, where shall the faithful find their peace? In this stirring treatise, Jeremiah Whitaker (1599-1654) proclaims that Christ alone is the firm foundation in times of upheaval. Drawing from the sure promises of Scripture, he unfolds how the reign of Christ is the true source of stability for both the believer and the Church. All reformation that is not rooted in Him will falter, but where Christ is honored, His kingdom stands unshaken.

With clarity and conviction, Whitaker calls the Church to trust not in the power of men, but in the Word and Spirit of Christ, who rules over all. He warns against fleeting hopes, urges steadfast faith, and exhorts the people of God to labor for true reformation under Christ's sovereign hand. A timeless call to stand firm in an unshaken kingdom, this work offers strength and encouragement to all who long for Christ, the Desire of all Nations.

Yet Whitaker does not speak only to the Church at large-he presses this truth upon the heart of every believer. True reformation must begin with souls that are settled in Christ, fixed upon His promises, and unmoved by the storms of the world. He urges every Christian to examine whether their hope rests on shifting sands or upon the Rock that cannot be moved. As nations tremble and men's hearts fail, those who look to Christ will find their footing sure, their strength renewed, and their hope unshaken. Let the Church and every believer cry out anew for the Desire of all Nations to reign in their midst.
