Frequently referred to by the sacred writers (Nahum 1:3-6 ). Thunder and lightning are spoken of as tokens of God's wrath (2 Samuel 22:15; Job 28:26; 37:4; Psalm 135:7; 144:6; Zechariah 9:14 ). They represent God's glorious and awful majesty (Revelation 4:5 ), or some judgment of God on the world (20:9).
