The Lord also thundered in the heavens, etc.] By his apostles and ministers, some of which were Boanergeses, sons of thunder, whose ministry was useful to shake the consciences of men, and bring them to a sense of themselves, (<410317>Mark 3:17); and the Highest gave his voice; the same with thunder; for thunder is often called the voice of the Lord, (<183705>Job 37:5 40:9 <192903>Psalm 29:3-9); compare with this (<196811>Psalm 68:11); the Targum interprets it, “he lifted up his word”; the same effects as before follow, hail [stones] and coals of fire; (see Gill on “<191812>Psalm 18:12”).
