Revelation 16:18

and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men upon the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty.

Lightnings ... voices ... thunders ... earthquake ... Later, John will relate a more vivid and detailed account of the final judgment. "The account here simply presents the climax of what is substantially the same event."[61] "This section ends like the preceding ones with a very vivid description of the terror of the final judgment."[62] "A brief summary (Revelation 16:18,19) is given of what actually falls as the last extremity of God's wrath"[63] namely, the final judgment. Tenney pointed out that the phenomena cited in this verse, lightnings, voices, thunders, earthquake, etc., are "also present in Revelation 4:5; 8:5; 11:19."[64]
