A Flash of Lightning in the Dark of Night (1994)
There is something to be said for poetic licence. Describing Christ’s return as a flash of lightning works for me. It can be startling, but it is also illuminating. (I often refer to spiritual inspiration as a mental flash.)
The next image is quite interesting, too:

So, the question is: are you ready for it?

The word translated “new” in Revelation 21:1 means “new in kind or order” as distinguished from merely new in point of time. Peter describes the process the Lord will use in renovating the heaven and earth that now exist: “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, on account of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat. But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness [only] dwells.” (II Peter 3:10-13 NASB)

Yahweh, I wish to remind everyone, is a ‘thunder’ god. Hmm.
