God created Fire to reveal His power<\/strong><\/p>\n

December 1, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

The creation of God \u201cfire\u201d is created on Sunday alongside the Heaven and Earth, the Angels, Water and Wind. There are some facts we must analyze about fire for God created it for reason. Prophet Mosses have said that God is consuming Fire stating \u201cFor\u00a0the\u00a0Lord\u00a0your God\u00a0is\u00a0a consuming fire,\u00a0a jealous God.\u201d (Deuteronomy 4:24) This word signifies that God revealed Himself with fire.<\/p>\n

In the New Testament, on the feast of Pentecost He was revealed by fire coming down on the Holy Apostles. These biblical verses elaborate the notion more. \u201cI indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.\u00a0He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit\u00a0and fire\u201d; (Matthew 3:11) \u201cWhen\u00a0the Day of Pentecost had fully come,\u00a0they were all\u00a0with one accord in one place.\u00a0And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and\u00a0it filled the whole house where they were sitting.\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Then there appeared to them\u00a0divided tongues, as of fire, and\u00a0one\u00a0sat upon each of them.\u201d (Acts 2:1-3)<\/p>\n

We say God reveals His power by fire also because His rage of is proven by it. As voluminous as His mercy is upon us, His wrath is as just shown in those eras whilst gentiles surfaced on earth defying God\u2019s commandment and sinning before Him. Prophet Nahum said, \u201cGod\u00a0is\u00a0jealous, and the\u00a0Lord\u00a0avenges; The\u00a0Lord\u00a0avenges and\u00a0is\u00a0furious. The Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries, And He reserves\u00a0wrath\u00a0for His enemies; The\u00a0Lord is\u00a0slow to anger and\u00a0great in power, and will not at all acquit\u00a0the wicked.\u201d (Nahum 1:2-3)<\/p>\n

God\u2019s patient is greater than His rage. But if we continue on our obscenity betraying Him living in the devil\u2019s nest without repentance, it is definite to be punished. Saint Paul said, \u201c\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness,\u00a0if you continue in\u00a0His\u00a0goodness. Otherwise\u00a0you also will be cut off.\u201d (Romans 11:22)<\/p>\n

The Severity of God is upon those who defy His law unceasingly without any regret deciding to continue on their vulgarity. Accord Prophet Jeramiah have said, \u201cMoreover you shall say to them, \u2018Thus says the\u00a0L: \u201cWill they fall and not rise? Will one turn away and not return? \u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Why has this people\u00a0slidden back, Jerusalem, in a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast to deceit, They refuse to return.\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>I listened and heard, But\u00a0they do not speak aright. No man repented of his wickedness, Saying, \u2018What have I done?\u2019 Everyone turned to his own course, As the horse rushes into the battle. \u201cEven\u00a0the stork in the heavens Knows her appointed times; And the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow Observe the time of their coming. But\u00a0My people do not know the judgment of the\u00a0Lord. \u201cHow can you say, \u2018We\u00a0are\u00a0wise, And the law of the\u00a0Lord\u00a0is\u00a0with us\u2019? Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood.\u201d (Jeremiah 8:4-8)<\/p>\n

God has revealed His anger on those Israelis by fire. We can also mention the story of how Nadab and Abihu defied God\u2019s command and were punished in scripted in the Holy Book, \u201cThe Bible\u201d (Leviticus\u00a010:1-2), \u201cThen\u00a0Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron,\u00a0each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered\u00a0profane fire before the\u00a0Lord, which He had not commanded them.\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>So\u00a0fire went out from the\u00a0Lord\u00a0and devoured them, and they died before the\u00a0Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prophet Malachi stated, \u201cFor behold,\u00a0the day is coming, burning like an oven, And all\u00a0the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be\u00a0stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up,\u201d Says the Lord\u00a0of hosts, \u201cThat will\u00a0leave them neither root nor branch.\u201d (Malachi 4:1)<\/p>\n

In his psalm, Prophet David explained about God\u2019s judgment and fire. He said, \u201cOut of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent;
\nA fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.\u201d (Psalm 50:2-3) This word of the Prophet asserts how fire is the divulge of God\u2019s anger on sinners who refuse to repent. The Apostle Saint Paul sates about the second coming of Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as, \u201cAnd\u00a0you became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction,\u00a0with joy of the Holy Spirit.\u201d (1 Thessalonians 6-7)<\/p>\n

Many of us know of Fire being the resemblance of punishment in spiritual life, we have read many stories in the bible of the gentiles specially the Israelis punished by God\u2019s rage through fire as we have mention some of the instances above. God\u2019s rage upon pagans, witches, heresies and sinners has been revealed in both the Old Testament and New Testament.<\/p>\n

God punishment on earth is as scary as His judgment, for we will be send to hell to the eternal fire. Sinners souls is to be burn in hell forever for all the bad, harm, sin and defiant committed whilst in earthly life. We might not consider to understand the severity of the punishment, but no human soul can bare the pain, or change the way of it.<\/p>\n

Any human being have the right to choose from spiritual life or worldly, from righteous or sin, for his or her ending will be heaven or hell. God have given us this will and so we shall be wise and subtle in making our decision for it is of certain that no one can escape from the Lord\u2019s judgment. In other words, it is our choice that send us to everlasting bliss or fiery.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
