'Lightnings' in the Bible
So it happened on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunder and flashes of lightning, and a thick cloud was on the mountain, and a very loud blast was sounded on a ram’s horn, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.
Now all the people witnessed the thunder and the flashes of lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the smoking mountain; and as they looked, the people were afraid, and they trembled [and moved backward] and stood at a [safe] distance.
“After it, His voice roars;He thunders with the voice of His majesty,And He does not restrain His lightning [against His adversaries] when His voice is heard.
“Can you send forth lightnings that they may goAnd say to you, ‘Here we are’?
He sent out His arrows and scattered them;And He sent an abundance of lightning flashes and confused and routed them [in defeat].
The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;The lightnings illumined the world;The earth trembled and shook.
His lightnings have illuminated the world;The earth has seen and trembled.
Who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth;Who makes lightning for the rain,Who brings the wind from His storehouses;
When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,And He causes the clouds and the mist to ascend from the end of the earth;He makes lightning for the rain,And brings out the wind from His treasuries and from His storehouses.
When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,And He causes the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth.He makes lightnings for the rainAnd brings out the wind from His storehouses.
The chariots race madly in the streets;They rush wildly in the broad plazas.Their appearance is like torches;They rush in various directions like forked lightning.
Ask for rain from the Lord at the time of the spring rain.It is the Lord who makes the thunder clouds;And He will give them showers of rain, grass in the field to everyone.
