Hello dear friend.
You create the most thought provoking threads.
The event of the burning bush comes to mind [I show the movie version at bottom]
Exodus 3:2
And a Messenger of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame of fire from midst of a bush.
And he is looking, and behold!
the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.
Deu 4:36
“Out of heaven He let you hear His voice, that He might instruct you;
on earth He showed you His great fire, and
you heard His words out of the midst of the fire.
Eze 22:31
“Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them;
I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath;
and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads,” says the Lord GOD.

My patron saint, Stephen, quoted from that verse in Exodus before he was stoned. [that is also when Saint Saul/Paul appeared:
Stoning of Stephen against the Law
Acts 7:
1 Then the high priest said, “Are these things so?”
2 And he said, “Brethren and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,
30 “And when forty years had passed, a Messenger of LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai.
35 “This Moses whom they rejected, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge? is the one God sent to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush.
54 Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed upon him with their teeth.
56 and said, "Look! I see the heavens having been opened and the Son of the Man standing out of rights of the God!"
58 and they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him.
His accusers took off their coats and laid them at the feet of a young man named
Saul
Acts 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you,
and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
According to Hebrews we are also a "flame of fire"
Hebrews 1:7 And toward indeed to the Messengers He is saying 'Who is making His Messengers winds<4151>
and His ministers a flame of fire '
Revelation 2:18
‘And to the Messenger of the assembly in Thyatira write! These things saith the Son of the God, Who is having
His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like to burnished bronze<5474>;
Luke 16 "Rich Man/Poor Man" parable.....The most misunderstood/misinterpreted Parable in the NT?
Revelation 11:5
And if anyone wants to harm them,
fire proceeds from their mouth and devours<2719> their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner.
Revelation 20:9
They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city.
And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
