The light

“No longer will you have the sun for light by day,
Nor for brightness will the moon give you light;
But you will have the Lord for an everlasting light,
And your God for your glory.

A Psalm of David.
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the

defense of my life;

Whom shall I dread?

For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
The Lord gives grace and glory;

No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever.

For a flame

Behold, the name of the Lord comes from a remote place;

Burning is His anger and dense is His smoke;

His lips are filled with indignation
And His tongue is like a consuming fire;

Sinners in Zion are terrified;

Trembling has seized the godless.

“Who among us can live with the consuming fire?
Who among us can live with continual burning?”

Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down,

That the mountains might quake at Your presence—

For behold, the Lord will come in fire
And His chariots like the whirlwind,
To render His anger with fury,
And His rebuke with flames of fire.

Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearing of the Lord; and when the Lord heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.

Fire also came forth from the Lord and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the incense.

Smoke went up out of His nostrils,
And fire from His mouth devoured;
Coals were kindled by it.

You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger;
The Lord will swallow them up in His wrath,
And fire will devour them.

May our God come and not keep silence;

Fire devours before Him,

And it is very tempestuous around Him.

Like fire that burns the forest
And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,

“Circumcise yourselves to the Lord
And remove the foreskins of your heart,
Men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Or else My wrath will go forth like fire
And burn with none to quench it,
Because of the evil of your deeds.”

Therefore thus says the Lord God, “Behold, My anger and My wrath will be poured out on this place, on man and on beast and on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground; and it will burn and not be quenched.”

“For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze,” says the Lord of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.”

His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well

when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,

for our God is a consuming fire.

Devour

“I have no wrath.
Should someone give Me briars and thorns in battle,
Then I would step on them, I would burn them completely.

Then the angel of the Lord went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, all of these were dead.

Fire goes before Him

And burns up His adversaries round about.

Mountains quake because of Him
And the hills dissolve;
Indeed the earth is upheaved by His presence,
The world and all the inhabitants in it.

Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more;
I sought for him, but he could not be found.
