” Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more.”(104:35)
Fire serves as a sign of disfavour. So God created angels spirits,”his ministers a flaming fire.”(v.4) From the life of Prophet Elijah we have an example, “And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head.” (1 Ki.19:6). Why the Spirit has set this example? Prophet is set as a double for Jesus Christ. Now we shall see how the risen Christ was helped by his angel.”As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread./ Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. “(John 21:9).
The Last Adam is he who came from heaven. The Lord of heaven refers to the fire as a sign. ” I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?”(Luke 12:49) It is to this Apostle Peter refers, “But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”(2 Pe.3:7)
The Prophet foreshadows in the manner he chose to defeat the prophets of Baal. “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.”(1 Ki.18:38)
This is according to the everlasting covenant which is the house that Wisdom built. (Pr.9:1) These have foundation which we find in Hannah’s prayer. “For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon them.” (1 Sa.2:8). The same truth we have in the Psalm we are discussing at present. God ” Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.”(104:5) Notice the ubiquitous phrase ‘forever’ used here? We are discussing fire as reserved for the children of wrath. Showers of blessing for the blessed in the Son. Everlasting covenant as a sure foundation. “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” God knows each of them. (2 Ti.2:19-20
