High confidenceThe glory of God returning to the temple, 'his voice was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory.' Doublet with 1:24 reinforcing the 'many waters' theophanic acclamation of Rev 19:6. LXX phone hydaton pollon.
High confidenceThe voice/glory of God 'like the sound of many waters' — directly behind 'a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters.' Verbal parallel (LXX phone hydaton pollon).
