Revelation 1:14 His head and hair were white like wool,

as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire.

The word ‘fire’ appears twenty-five times in the book of Revelation, as there is a whole lotta burning going on. Only three times this word is modified by ‘a flame’, and only to describe the Master’s eyes. They are not the red hot mixture of gasses erupting from a burning pyre, they are the pure and clear flame of swirling heat above the fire, and for those who have been trained by it, the source of all comfort.

Do the Master's eyes reveal judgment to you, or comfort?

2 Corinthians 1:

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

4 who comforts us in all our tribulation,

that we may be able to comfort those

who are in any trouble, with the comfort

with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

Servants of the Lord are not ministers of fiery judgment, they receive the Lord’s Comforter, and deliver comfort to others. This comes in the form of loving correction that may not seem pleasant, but painful, while enabling us to use the same meek touch in offering correction.

Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

A Flame of Fire will come from the Lord in Judgment

2 Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us,

when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven

with his mighty angels,

8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God,

and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.


Fire, or a Great Blast of Heat?

Daniel 3:

22 Therefore, because the king’s command was urgent,

and the furnace exceedingly hot,

the flame of the fire killed those men who took up

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.

23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego,

fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

The Day of the Lord brings the heat!

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night,

in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the

elements will melt with fervent heat
; both the earth and the works

that are in it will be consumed.

The Lord Yeshua is not a fire exhaling dragon!

2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then the lawless one will be revealed,

whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth

and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

A "Flame of Fire" is the heat plume from the fire.
