Thunder and Lightning

Many things in Nature are parables of the things of God. The ancient prophet Enoch knew this more than most. Sometimes it is not explicit but nevertheless implicitly duscernable through his writings. Take thunder and lightning: "For the thunder has places of rest (which) are assigned (to it) while it is waiting for its peal; and the thunder and lightning are inseparable, and although not one and undivided, they both go together through the spirit and separate not. For when the lightning lightens, the thunder utters its voice, and the spirit enforces a pause during the peal, and divides equally between them;" [Enoch 60:14-15] See how the Father and the Son go together like the lightning and the thunder. How inseperable they are. "And there I saw One who had a head of days, And His head was white like wool, And with Him was another being whose countenance had the appearance of a man,
And his face was full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels. And I asked the angel who went with me and showed me all the hidden things, concerning that Son of Man, who he was, and whence he was, (and) why he went with the Head of Days? And he answered and said unto me: This is the son of Man who hath righteousness,
With whom dwelleth righteousness, And who revealeth all the treasures of that which is hidden, Because the Lord of Spirits hath chosen him, And whose lot hath the pre-eminence before the Lord of Spirits in uprightness for ever." [Enoch 46:1-3]
