PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD:
Week #10: CONSUMING FIRE, JEALOUS GOD
Key Scripture’s : Exodus 34:14 and Deuteronomy 4:23-24

Understanding the Name:
God sometimes manifested himself through images of fire – as a blazing torch, in the burning bush, or as a pillar of fire. When Moses met with God on Mount Sinai, the Israelites thought the glory of the Lord looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain.

Most often, when Scripture pictures God as a consuming fire Esh Oklah; AISH o-KLAH, it is in connection with expressions of divine anger against the sins of human beings and nations. Even so his jealousy is not the “green-eyed monster” so often associated with human jealousy. As biblical scholar Edward Mac pointed out: “This word…did not bear the evil meaning now associated with it in our usage, but rather signified ‘righteous zeal,’ Jehovah’s zeal for His own name or glory.”

Even so, Scripture compares God’s Jealousy to what a husband feels when his wife has been unfaithful. No wonder the first of the Ten Commandments prohibits the worship of other gods. The Lord is a jealous God (EL Kanna; EL kan-NAH), who cannot endure unfaith-fulness. Jesus expressed this same kind of exclusiveness when he told his disciples: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him” (John 14:6-7 NIV)
