In the biblical context, thunder often symbolizes the voice of God, divine judgment, or a demonstration of His omnipotence. Old Testament References In the Old Testament, thunder is often associated with God's presence and His communication with humanity. One of the most notable instances is found in the account of Mount Sinai, where God gives the Ten Commandments to Moses. <a href="/exodus/19-16.htm">Exodus 19:16</a> describes the scene: "On the third day, when morning came, there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud upon the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people in the camp trembled." Here, thunder serves as a tangible sign of God's awe-inspiring presence and the seriousness of His covenant with Israel. The Psalms frequently use thunder as a metaphor for God's voice and power. <a href="/psalms/29-3.htm">Psalm 29:3-4</a> states, "The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is heard over many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty." This passage poetically illustrates the might and authority of God's voice, likening it to the commanding sound of thunder. In <a href="/1_samuel/7-10.htm">1 Samuel 7:10</a> , thunder is depicted as a tool of divine intervention: "As Samuel was offering the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to fight against Israel. But that day the LORD thundered loudly against the Philistines and threw them into such confusion that they fled before Israel." Here, God uses thunder to protect His people and ensure their victory over their enemies. New Testament References While the New Testament contains fewer direct references to thunder, it continues to convey the theme of divine power and revelation. In the Book of Revelation, thunder is part of the apocalyptic imagery that accompanies the unfolding of God's final judgment. <a href="/revelation/4-5.htm">Revelation 4:5</a> describes the throne of God: "From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder. Before the throne burned seven lamps of fire. These are the seven Spirits of God." Thunder here underscores the majesty and authority of God as He prepares to execute His divine plan. Symbolism and Theological Significance Throughout the Bible, thunder serves as a powerful symbol of God's voice and His sovereign control over creation. It is often associated with His judgment, as seen in the plagues of Egypt, where thunder and hail were part of the divine punishment (<a href="/exodus/9-23.htm">Exodus 9:23-24</a>). Thunder also signifies God's ability to protect and deliver His people, as demonstrated in the victory over the Philistines. In a broader theological context, thunder reminds believers of the transcendence and holiness of God. It calls for reverence and awe, acknowledging that God's ways and thoughts are higher than human understanding. Thunder, as a natural phenomenon, reflects the grandeur of the Creator and His active involvement in the world. Conclusion In summary, thunder in the Bible is a multifaceted symbol that conveys God's power, presence, and judgment. It serves as a reminder of His sovereignty and the awe-inspiring nature of His voice, calling believers to worship and trust in His divine authority.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Thunderis hardly ever heard in Palestine form the middle of April to the middle of September; hence it was selected by Samuel as a striking expression of the divine displeasure toward the Israelites.

It is very common in the winter storms of Syria and Palestine and occurs in the extra-season storms. Thunder accompanied the storm of hail in Egypt at the time of the plagues: "The Lord sent thunder and hail" (<a href="/exodus/9-23.htm">Exodus 9:23</a>). Lightning and thunder are indications of the power of Yahweh and His might. "The thunder of his power who can understand?"
