What is the meaning of the reference to lightning being visible even in the west?

Matthieu 24:27 (NEG79)

27 Car, comme l'éclair part de l'orient et se montre jusqu'en occident, ainsi sera l'avènement du Fils de l'homme.

Lightning is generally visible in the sky from one horizon to the other (Job 36:30; Psalm 97:4; Zechariah 9:14). When the Son of Man comes in glory, he will not come in secret but his coming will be visible to all (2 Thessalonians 1:7; Revelation 1:7; Revelation 19:11–16).1 There will be nothing secret or hidden about his return.2
