**Beyond these created wonders many things lie hid. Only a few of God’s works have we seen (Sirach 43:34).**

What the heck is “Sirach”?
And how does the author confuse information we ‘can’t handle’ with information that is somehow “sinful” to inquire after?
“with a rainbow above his head”
I guess the “7 thunders” refers to the 3-dollar bill crowd: LGBTIQA
What happens before thunder? That is where the action is.
There is also a reference to the underreported “seven thunders,” reminding us that there are some things that are not for us to know.
Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke. And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down” (Rev 10:1-4).
Seven thunders (voices):
Psalms 29
1 <A Psalm of David.> Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.
10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.
11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

A few examples where kol is translated as thunder:
Exodus 9:23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
1 Samuel 12:18 So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.
Job 28:26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
Job 38:25 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars.
A rainbow is the visible spectrum of light, known by seven colors and thus named Roy G. Biv. What's in a name?
Mathematically in Hebrew, seven thunders and a rainbow are related:
A voice/thunder (kol, קול) = 136, thus seven of them = 136 x 7 = 952
A rainbow (kesheth, קשת) spelled in full = 186 (קוף, kuf) + 360 (שין, shin) + 406 (תו, tav) = 952
There's a lot more in that number, pertaining to other Hebrew name relationships, esp, WRT light, but that's the simple mathematical connection of a rainbow meeting up with seven voices. It's all perfectly organized and interconnected on multiple levels, unlike Establishment wisdom-babble that is out there purporting to be the voice of God.
You can even add the Hebrew colors* that spell the name Roy (meaning "king") in English, and the sum is 620, which is a keter (כתר), a crown, exactly what you'd expect to find on a king's head.

Red (אדום) = 51
Orange (כתום) = 466
Yellow (צהוב) = 103
= 620
Puns are the "lowest form of humor", so as Divine patterns plainly indicate, expect quite the elevation in status.
