Gradual of Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Apocalypse 19:6

Upon his cloak and upon his thigh he hath a name written: King of kings and Lord of lords. The Queen takes her place at his right hand in gold of Ophir.

Verse 6. The voice of a great multitude. Menochius applies this voice to the multitude of Angels and saints, which from its strength may be compared to the voice of rushing waters, and because of the terror with which it strikes the wicked. Pastorini understands by this voice of many waters, the voices of many Angels that preside over the nations, denoted by waters, which had all before groaned under the tyranny of antichrist; and the voice of great thunders, that of the Angel who presides over fire, which, as employed in military engines, by its explosion resembles thunder. It must be observed that the latter author refers it to the last stage of the world.
