Bible Question: What is the significance of the "smoking oven" and a "flaming torch?" Do Heb 12:29 (God is a consuming fire) and 1 John 1:5 (God is light)fit here? |
Bible Answer: Mommapbs, I believe the "smoking oven" and a "flaming torch" simply represent God's presence, just as the pillar of fire and the pillar of cloud do in Exodus. Smaller symbol for one man, Abraham, and lager scale for a whole nation, Israel. Emmaus |
