If it were true, then the New Testament writers would have picked up on it and ran with it. They didn't.

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.
12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.More
12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
Verse 26 is a reference to Job 9:6. The verse is explained by the writer of Hebrews to mean “the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain”. This is the book of Job in a nutshell. This is what I meant when I talked about the cataclysmic event that “laid the foundation” of the Earth. It was this foundation that set the stage for life on this planet. In the same way the events in Job laid the foundation for Job to receive the kingdom which cannot be moved.
