<p>10:3 <i>And he cried with a great voice, as a lion roars; and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices</i>- The Lord is likened to a lion when earlier He has held the scroll in 5:5, confirming my hunch that it is the same scroll in view. The roaring of the Messianic lion of Judah is in final victory over those who are abusing Israel and the sons of Jacob (Gen. 49:9). Thunders have indeed been associated with judgments so far in Revelation, but voices as thunders could simply mean that His singular voice is Divine, as mighty as seven completeness thunders; for this is the idea of a voice as of thunder in 19:6 and Jn. 12:29.</p>
