Thunder-Lightning Connection (Discovered 1750s)
Benjamin Franklin’s famous kite experiment in the 1750s proved lightning’s electrical nature. Jeremiah 10:13 describes the precise sequence: “When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he makes lightning with rain.” Modern meteorology confirms this exact process: water vapor rises, clouds form, and interactions between water droplets and ice crystals generate electrical charges, producing lightning. Thunder results from rapidly expanding superheated air along the lightning’s path.
