There are a lot of references to fire in the Bible. The ones that came to my mind were when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone (Genesis 19:24), Moses saw the angel of the Lord in a burning bush (Exodus 3:2), when God led Israel through the wilderness as a pillar of fire by night (Exodus 13:21), and when the Holy Spirit came upon the people and the cloven tongue was described as of fire (Acts 2:3). But the one that I remember best is that God Himself is described as a consuming fire (Deuteronomy 4:24 and Hebrews 12:29). I can’t look at fire the same way now. These shots are from last fall:
Sometimes, looking at still shots of fire is almost like looking up at the clouds. You begin to see the strangest formations in them…
This is such an amazing post. I would agree God appears as a consuming fire. But I am so shocked I never noticed to look at the dancing images in the flame! I really needed to read this. Thanks a million and God bless you.

Thank you. 😊 ♥
I’m so glad you enjoyed! 🙂 I took these photos last fall, and I didn’t think to look until this week when I looked over them again! It’s really neat when you suddenly see things from a new perspective. 😀 God bless you too. ♥

It’s interesting that you see that warped, unpleasant face in the last fire. Sadly, fire is mentioned in the place of hell, where many will find themselves for various reasons. I believe even God will be sad for them, but He is a just One, and He will keep His promise to save the righteous but condemn the unrighteous…

I didn’t at first; it was right before I posted it that I saw it. And felt chills. XD
Yeah, that’s true. It is sad.
