Perhaps it means that the messengers have a poor grasp of architectural principles?

So I can't disclose the source nor 100% confirm I am going insane here, but I received a cryptic message/phrase through oddly strange means.
"He will shake the pillared foundations of the Earth"
What does this mean and how can it possibly happen?
What do they mean by the foundations?
What are these pillars spoken of?
More importantly... WHO ARE THEY? The ones that uttered the phrase/sent the message.

It’s a biblical reference
“He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord 's, and on them he has set the world.”
1 Samuel 2:8 ESV
It’s passage is titled Hanna’s Prayer
here is the bulk of section from that chapter
“And Hannah prayed and said, "My heart exults in the Lord; my horn is exalted in the Lord. My mouth derides my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation. "There is none holy like the Lord: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God. Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble bind on strength. Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. The barren has borne seven, but she who has many children is forlorn. The Lord kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up. The Lord makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and he exalts. He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord 's, and on them he has set the world. "He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness, for not by might shall a man prevail. The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; against them he will thunder in heaven. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed."”
1 Samuel 2:1-10 ESV

Well it seems the pillars of earth referred to in the bible are actually people.
I would say you are probably going crazy, or at the very least it's not bible related.
Perhaps aliens?

So how did you receive the message? Someone texted you? You dreamt it? Saw it on a billboard passing by? Partook in a substance and hallucinated it? Why the vagueness of how you "received" it?
