“And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.”
And the sound of his coming was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory—describing the sensory manifestations of God's arrival with overpowering sound and radiance. The sound of many waters recalls the theophanic descriptions in Revelation and emphasizes the overwhelming power of God's presence. The earth shining with glory emphasizes the transformative effect of divine presence; the entire created order is affected. This verse depicts the magnificence of God's return.
