2 Kings 1:12

Étudier

       

12 And Elijah in answer said, If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven on you and on your fifty men, and put an end to you. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and put an end to him and his fifty men.


L'explication  

Par Henry MacLagan

Verse 12. But it is the dictate of the Divine Word to faith alone and its combined errors, that since Divine Truth is from Divine Good, it is the expression thereof, and is therefore equally hateful to self-love and its errors, appearing to cause torment; and hence the corrupted man is totally vastated, as to the understanding, the place of truth, being in reality occupied by falsity, through consuming self-love.
