19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.



Ver. 19. And the temple of God] Abundance of light shall be diffused in the Church, and heavenly mysteries more clearly revealed and more commonly understood.



The ark of his testament] That is, the secret mysteries of God. The ark was in a secret place; and seen by none but the high priest once a year.



And there were lightnings] Utter destruction to the wicked, as there was to Jericho, at the sound of the seventh trumpet, Jos_6:16.
