What it means

Hebrew

בָּרָ

Transliteration/Pronunciation

baraq/bä·räk’

Strong’s

H1300

Definition

Flash, lightning, glittering.

Generally something that is big and impressive, but doesn’t last very long. It’s used to describe lightning, swords, the voice of God when He speaks, and the appearance of the messiah in Ezekiel and Daniel.
