"And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great."
The Spirit uses it as the voice over, to borrow from film production to reference what is going on and talking over the images flashed on the screen. We come across it before the Lamb is introduced. "And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.(Rev.4.5.) Seven is a tag for the Word and is a whole number. The word of God as the Law illuminates.2)warns and thirdly counsels. When God descended upon mount Sinai "There were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled."Presence of God is established as his throne was set up over that specific place."(Exod.19.16)
Here St John hears the voice (of the Lord) and it references Isa.55.11."it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please," And the Spirit is enumerating what the divine Will is concerning the ungodly world and for them it shall be to their great dismay. 'and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.' God by sending the river flowing from Eden set up the four angesafter the garden and not before. These river heads as stars in the right hand of the risen Christ are angels.("The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches,"-Rev.1.16,20)
The earthquake is a signal for the wrath of the Lamb to commence. We read it elsewhere."And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake" (6.12) Rest of the chapter is similar to what is described here. "and every mountain and island were moved out of their places."(6.14)
The same as,"And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found"(16.20)
