“It is finished!” Then the thunder crashed and rolled, and lightning flashed. And there was an earthquake greater than ever before in human history. NLT This verse echoes 11:15–19, where we saw the seventh trumpet sounding, followed by voices in heaven shouting that Christ’s kingdom had come (11:15). Then there was lightning, thunder, a hailstorm, and an earthquake (11:19; see also 4:5; 8:5). Here, when the seventh angel poured out his bowl, he did so into the air, which was followed by a mighty shout.
