Instead, all that is left is to wait in fear for the coming Judgment and the fierce fire which will destroy those who oppose God!

(SEE 24:16)

The people began to complain to the LORD about their troubles. When the LORD heard them, he became angry and sent fire on the people. It burned among them and destroyed one end of the camp.

Then the LORD sent a fire that blazed out and burned up the 250 men who had presented the incense.

because the LORD your God is like a flaming fire; he tolerates no rivals.

But now you will see for yourselves that the LORD your God will go ahead of you like a raging fire. He will defeat them as you advance, so that you will drive them out and destroy them quickly, as he promised.

Our God is coming, but not in silence; a raging fire is in front of him, a furious storm around him.

Fire goes in front of him and burns up his enemies around him.

The LORD will come with fire. He will ride on the wings of a storm to punish those he is angry with.

While I was looking, thrones were put in place. One who had been living forever sat down on one of the thrones. His clothes were white as snow, and his hair was like pure wool. His throne, mounted on fiery wheels, was blazing with fire,

with a flaming fire, to punish those who reject God and who do not obey the Good News about our Lord Jesus.
