2 Chronicles - Chapter 7
Solomon has finished praying at the dedication of the temple, and God demonstrates his presence through fire from heaven:
When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house. When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the Lord, saying:
“For He is good,
For His mercy endures forever.”
In Luke 12, Jesus is talking about his mission on earth, and he says:
“I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!"
And at Jesus birth, the glory of the Lord shone round the shepherds as they heard of his coming into the world:
"Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid."
