'Consuming Fire' in the Bible

And to the eyes of the sons of Israel the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on the mountain top.

For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Know therefore today that it is the Lord your God who is crossing over before you as a consuming fire. He will destroy them and He will subdue them before you, so that you may drive them out and destroy them quickly, just as the Lord has spoken to you.

From the Lord of hosts you will be punished with thunder and earthquake and loud noise,With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.

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 indignationAnd His tongue is like a consuming fire;

And the Lord will cause His voice of authority to be heard,And the descending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger,And in the flame of a consuming fireIn cloudburst, downpour and hailstones.

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?”

for our God is a consuming fire.
