“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.”
King James Version (KJV)
16:18 A great earthquake, such as had not been since men were upon the earth - It was therefore a literal, not figurative, earthquake.
Re 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings. See Re 8:5 11:19. These features accompany the tremendous movements of the divine will. And there was a great earthquake. A mighty agitation, and rupturing such as was never seen before. Society will be upheaved to its very foundations.
And there were voices and thunders, and lightnings: and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were vpon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
