Genesis
Cloaking The Garden
3:24
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the
garden of Eden Cherubim,
and a flaming sword
which turned
every way, to keep the way of
the tree of life.
The cherubim, which appears to be some sort of device rather than a being, is
placed to protect the Tree of
Life in the garden. This device or devices is
described as flashing and
either rotating or having a
constant 360-degree range
of
coverage.
Leviticus
A Consuming
Beam Of Light
9:24
And there
came a
fire out from before the Lord, and consumed
upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all
the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
A fire like beam,
coming from Yhovah, consumed the altar and everything on it.
1
Kings
Fire Of
Yhovah Fell
18:38
Then the
fire of the Lord fell, and
consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and
licked up the water that was in the trench.
Fire falls and
consumes everything in sight.
1
Chronicles
Beam Of Fire
From The Sky
21:26
And David built there an
altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called
upon the Lord; and he answered him
from heaven by fire upon the altar
of burnt offering.
Fire is
directed from the sky to the altar.
Beam Of Fire
From The Sky
7:1
Now when Solomon had made
an end of praying, the
fire
came down from heaven, and
consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the
glory of the Lord
filled the house.
2 And the
priests could not enter into the house of the Lord, because the
glory of the Lord
had filled the Lord's house.
3 And when all the children of Israel saw how the
fire came down, and the glory
of the Lord upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground
upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good;
for his mercy endureth for ever.
Fire from the
sky shoots directly to the altar. The splendor of Yhovah is over the house.
Psalms
A Light On
The Ark
80:1
Give ear, O Shepherd of
Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest
between the cherubims, shine forth.
Between the
cherubims is referring to
the two covering cherubims on the Ark of the Covenant.
Isaiah
Stream Of
Burning Sulphur
30:33
For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is
prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much
wood; the breath of the Lord, like
a stream of brimstone, doth kindle
it.
A shaft of light, resembling sulphur,
sets the wood on fire. Stream = shaft. Kindle
= burn.
Ezekiel
Glowing,
Flashing Lights
1:13
As
for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like
burning coals of fire,
and like the appearance of
lamps: it went up and down
among the living creatures; and the
fire was bright, and out of
the fire went forth lightning.
The devices
were glowing and there were bright,
flashing lights in the center of them.
Flashing Lights
1:14
And the living
creatures ran and returned as the
appearance of a flash of lightning.
The devices
were flashing and moving back and forth.
Wheels And
Cherubim
10:6 And
it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying,
Take fire from between the
wheels, from between the
cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the
wheels.
Glowing objects
are between the wheels.
Moving
Devices
10:7
And one cherub
stretched forth his hand from between the
cherubims
unto the fire that
was between the cherubims,
and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen:
who took it, and went out.
The indication
that
the cherubim literally grabs a glowing object and hands it
to the being clothed in linen
could be
Ezekiel's interpretation of the movements of a mechanical device.
Daniel
Flashing
Throne And Wheels
7:9
I beheld till the
thrones
were cast down, and the ancient of days did sit, whose
garment was white as snow,
and the hair of his
head
like the pure wool: his
throne was like the fiery
flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
Ezekiel
looks where the throne is set and sees the Ancient of Days sitting. His garment
was pure white and his hair like pure wool. His throne
was glowing brightly and the wheels of the craft were shining and glowing.
Bright,
Shining River
7:10
A fiery stream issued and
came forth from before
him: thousand thousands
ministered unto him, and
ten thousand times ten thousand
stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
A beam of
light shown from him, millions served him,
and hundreds of millions were in his
presence.
Joel
Signs In The Sky
2:30
And
I will shew wonders in
the heavens and in the
earth, blood, and
fire,
and pillars of smoke.
31
The sun shall be turned
into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of
the Lord come.
Yhovah will
display wonders in the sky
which
will include fire and smoky clouds.
Habakkuk
Brilliant Rays Of Light
3:4
And
his brightness was as
the light; he had
horns coming out
of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
5
Before him went the pestilence, and
burning coals
went forth at
his feet.
Brightness
= brilliancy. Light
= illumination. Horn
= rays of light. Burning
coals = gleam.
Acts
Beams
Of Light From The Sky
2:2
And
suddenly there came a
sound from heaven as
of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3
And there appeared
unto them cloven tongues
like as of fire, and it
sat upon each of them.
Suddenly, the
sound of a mighty, rushing wind came from the sky. Beams of light rested on each
one of them.
Shining,
Flashing Lights
9:3
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there
shined round about him a light
from heaven:
4
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why
persecutest thou me?
By
using
bright, flashing lights from the sky to get his attention, Jesus
confronts Paul.
Great,
Bright
,Flashing Lights
22:6
And
it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus
about noon,
suddenly there shone from heaven a
great light round about
me. 7
And I fell unto the
ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8
And I answered, Who
art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth whom thou
persecutest.
9
And
they that were with me saw indeed
the light, and were
afraid; but they heard not the voice of
him that spake to me.
10
And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into
Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for
thee to do.
11
And when I could not
see for the glory of that
light, being led by the
hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
Paul says
that in the middle of the day very bright,
luminescent rays began to flash all
around him.
A Light
From The Sky As Bright As The Sun
26:13
At midday, O king, I saw in the way a
light from heaven,
above the brightness of the
sun,
shining round about
me and them which journeyed with
me.
Paul describes the light he saw as being brighter than the sun,
which was out at the time which was about noon.
Revelation
Fire From
The Sky
20:9
And
they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints
about, and the beloved city: and
fire came
down from God out of heaven,
and devoured them.
A fire comes
down from the sky.
