I'm glad you posted. For whatever reason I (came here in the middle of watching a video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y62jaJglpBI by Eth Cepher translator Dr. Pidgeon) scrolled right to the bottom. I saw the reference to 2 Baruch. I posted from there here within the past day. I've actually read very little of it. I wondered what the referenced verse was and went here,
and started reading that chapter, 44. I could scarcely read some of it aloud and cried. I think it happened going into verse 13. I read into 48, and it really seemed to refer to what I posted here a few hours ago.
I had both the feeling to make a calculation that required me to look up the speed of sound, and to post about it, even though it made me look weird. The speed of sound differs according to temperature. Air pressure or density. But as imprecise as the word hour could mean in the Bible, I didn't concern myself with the subtleties of the calculation.
The first link is to the comment with the scripture I was referring to, specifically Enoch 57:2. The second link was my speculation.

I imagined the first sound wave to hit the heights of the firmament.
2 Baruch 48
4 You make known the multitude of the fire,
And you weigh the lightness of the wind.
5 You explore the limit of the heights,
And you scrutinize the depths of the darkness.
6 You care for the number which pass away that they may be preserved, And you prepare an abode for those that are to be.
7 You remember the beginning which you have made,
And the destruction that is to be You forget not.
8 With nods of fear and indignation You command the flames,
And they change into spirits,
And with a word you quicken that which was not,
