Job 37:3-4

37:3 Under the whole heaven he lets it go,

even his lightning to the far corners ¹  of the earth.

37:4 After that a voice roars;

he thunders with an exalted voice,

and he does not hold back his lightning bolts ² 

when his voice is heard.

Zechariah 9:14

9:14 Then the Lord will appear above them, and his arrow will shoot forth like lightning; the Lord God will blow the trumpet and will sally forth on the southern storm winds.

Matthew 24:27

24:27 For just like the lightning ³  comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

[37:3]  ¹ tn Heb “wings,” and then figuratively for the extremities of garments, of land, etc.

[37:4]  ² tn The verb simply has the pronominal suffix, “them.” The idea must be that when God brings in all the thunderings he does not hold back his lightning bolts either.

[24:27]  ³ sn The Son of Man’s coming in power will be sudden and obvious like lightning. No one will need to point it out.
