I'm sure yall are aware of pictures of these "lightbeams" coming down from the sky when lightning strikes. I personally don't think anything of it, because I can't recall any prophecy or biblical scripture that matches up to these supposed phenomenon. I'm wondering what or if yall have any comments regarding them.

Do not doubt, there is coming a Day when all those vivid prophesies about the Lord sending lightning flashes far and wide will literally happen. Check out: Deuteronomy 32:41-43, Isaiah 29:6, Psalms 11:6, Zechariah 9:14, Hebrews 10:27, 2 Peter 3:7

There are over 70 prophesies that tell of this forthcoming worldwide judgement/punishment of the nations. It will be triggered by an attack on Israel by a confederation of Islamic peoples.

That is very true, but that doesn't answer the question.

This is a Bible prophecy forum, not a physics discussion.
What is prophesied to happen on the Lord Day of wrath, is a Coronal Mass Ejection, Isaiah 30:26, a sunstrike that will literally fulfil all those prophesies saying the Lord will send: lightning flashes and fire.

I know that....

None of your postings have answered my simple question. I believe all of Revelation will be literally fulfilled, what my question is asking is what yall make of those "lightbeams" that have come from certain pictures of lightning. Since we have thousands of pictures in our history of lightning and none of them consisted of these "lightbeams", I was simply looking for something I may have missed in the scriptures. So far, it appears I haven't and these are either legitimate strange signs from God or someone's practical photoshop joke.

So they are totally different from regular lightening strikes? I haven't heard of these either. Please let us know if you find a picture.

It's called a rolling shutter. it's basically an artifact of the way digital cameras work.

Really? So it's just a trick of the camera?
more of an artifact of how it processes data than a "Trick"
Digital cameras don't read all the data in one shot, but read it in a row by row stream(quickly)
If you google Rolling Shutter Lightning there's some good sites (don't know about the language, some sites might have language that's not appropriate for this site, so I'm not linking them) with fully detailed explanations on what's going on, the digital processing science of how the CMOS chips handle the data, memory read patterns ect.

But simply put the camera takes a over all light measurement without the lightning, starts to process the image, gets part way done when the lightning flashes (overexposing one or more rows of CMOS image cells) , lightning finishes, as the camera finishes processing the rest of the data, giving you the beam effect.

If the camera was rotated 90 deg you would end up with a horizontal beam vs a vertical beam

Excellent, thanks man. I knew there had to be more to it than what it appeared to be.
