Thematic Bible: Calls fire down upon the soldiers of ahaziah


Thematic Bible



And Elijah answered and said to the captain over the fifty, "If I be a man of God, fire come down from heaven and consume thee and thy fifty." And there came fire down from heaven and devoured him and his fifty. And the king went again and sent to him another captain over fifty with his fifty, which answered and said unto him, "Oh man of God, thus sayeth the king, 'Make haste and come down.'" And Elijah answered and said unto them, "If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven and consume thee and thy fifty." And there came fire down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.

When his disciples, James, and John, saw that, they said, "Lord, wilt thou that we command that fire come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did?"
