The Seven Thunders of God

The Seven Thunders of God

January 10, 2015 Year B

Psalm 29

1. The voice above the waters (29:3)

2.The voice of power (29:4)

3. The voice in splendor (29:4)

4. The voice shatters (29:5)

5. The voice flashes flames (29:7)

6. The voice shakes the wilderness (29:8)

7. The voice strips nature bare (29:9)

The seven-fold thundering voice of God. These thunders are similar to the seven thunders in Revelation.

“and he cried out with a loud voice like a roaring lion. When he cried out, the seven thunders spoke with their voices. And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. Then I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders said, and do not write it down!”” (Revelation 10:3–4, HCSB)

In Revelation, they are not revealed although they happen between the trumpet and the bowl judgments. The effects of the thunders are not described in Revelation. However, I suspect the seven thunders in Revelation refer to the same seven thunders from Psalm 29.
