... "like small dust," their invasion "shall be at an instant suddenly," says Isaiah.25 The Lord shall send his host "with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouri ng fire." These Maruts are men brilliant with lightning, they shoot with thunderbolts, they blaze with the wind, they shake the mountains.26 Isaiah (25:4 ) says that "the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall." Thou [the Lord] shalt bring down the noises of the strangers . . . the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low ...

... times, but also their cause must have been known to the ancients. Pliny wrote: "The theory of the Babylonians deems that even earthquakes and fissures in the ground are caused by the force of the stars that is the cause of all other phenomena, but only by that of those three stars (planets) to which they assign thunderbolts."18 Notes 1 Hesiod, Theogony, II. 935 ff. Purandara or "town destroying" is the usual appellative of Indra. 2 R. C.

143. On the Recent Discoveries Concerning Jupiter and Venus [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Herodotus speaks only of Typhon's place of burial, not of a battle.] THE TEXTS: I Velikovsky (Worlds in Collision, pp. 78-81): [The quoted sentence in Worlds in Collision follows almost three pages of a description of the battle between Zeus and Typhon, quoted from Apollodorus: Zeus pelted Typhon at a distance with thunderbolts... '] The Egyptian shore of the Red Sea was called Typhonia (Fn: Strabo, vii, 3, 8). Strabo narrates also that the Arimi (Syrians) were terrified witnesses of the battle of Zeus with Typhon... who... when struck by the bolts of lightning, fled in ...

... to attend college. It was in the final decade of her life that she eventually returned to astronomy. It was then that she joined a worldwide network of pioneering scientists and scholars, and helped to popularize the new science of plasma cosmology in conjunction with comparative mythology. She became managing editor of the online newsletter Thoth and the www.thunderbolts.info "Picture of the Day". She is survived by her husband, Meldon; a son, Alazel, together with his wife, Frances, and granddaughter, Çravixtha; a daughter, Talitha; another daughter, Eleadari, together with her husband, Ray Ludwig, and grandson, Vasudeva Ludwig; a foster daughter, ...
145. Aviation Week & Space Technology [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... from active galactic nuclei. I have no doubt that the clouds in the Lagoon Nebula will be found to be twisting (rather than being some pressure wave effect). One of the telling arguments for the veracity of recent planetary interactions is the recurring helical, serpentine imagery associated in mythology with the planetary gods and in particular, Jupiter's corkscrew thunderbolts. ...
146. Remarks on Solar Jet Stream Weather [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... planet/sun. The strong vertical magnetic field in sunspots suggests this is so in their case. (Birkeland currents flow along magnetic field lines in a force-free fashion). The long-lived GRS on Jupiter may be associated with some underlying electrical inhomogeneity in the planet resulting from the catastrophic breakup of the Saturnian system. The many reports of Jovian thunderbolts attest to the probability that the giant planet may bear hidden electrical scars. Of course, the standard picture of the structure of Jupiter does not allow for a solid surface under the clouds to bear scars. But it must be remembered that the Electrical Universe requires a completely new estimation of what a "gas giant" really is. ...
147. Electricity in Astronomy /3 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... hail causes lightning in our own atmosphere. It may be of interest to describe in greater detail one recent observation of "unusual" galactic behaviour, to see if the electrical discharge theory can throw some light on this case. Perhaps this would also help to resolve the problem of why large lumps of ice sometimes drop during thunderstorms. Galactic Thunderbolts? There are many kinds of galaxies and some show evidence of very violent activity accompanied by the emission of light and radio waves. The presence of huge jets in many cases and immense curved bridges of light between some galaxies indicates that electrical processes are likely to be taking place, but generally this possibility is not discussed. A recent ...

... means. For in truth the story that is told in your country as well as ours, how once upon a time Phaëthon, son of Helios, yoked his father's chariot, and, because he was unable to drive it along the course taken by his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth and himself perished by a thunderbolt- that story, as it is told, has the fashion of a legend, but the truth of it lies in the occurrence of a shifting of the bodies in the heavens which move around the earth, and a destruction of the things on the earth by fierce fire, which recurs at long intervals."(9 ) ...

... , dotted with small craterlets. Wal pointed out that the Moon has similar, smaller valleys, notably Schroter's Valley, and argued that (following the ideas of Ralph Juergens) these are not eroded valleys but sinuous rilles, channels created by electrical discharges. He argued that these are clear evidence that the surface has been bombarded by massive cosmic thunderbolts. What did the Astronomy article have to say about this? It claimed that valleys like Hildr were almost certainly formed from surface erosion by hot runny lava'. I wrote to the Editor, asking how this lava could have achieved the observed results, including running up and down hills - and where had it disappeared to when its ...
