1. The day's works will be revealed and judged by fire. (NIV)

Answer: 1 Corinthians 3:13

The third chapter of the First Epistle to the Corinthians was authored by Paul and in it he discusses the growing schism within the Corinthian church. In verse 1 Corinthians 3:13 Paul uses fire as a possible metaphor of the divine judgment of a person's works.

2. A mountain trembled when the Lord descended on it in fire. (NIV)

Answer: Exodus 19:18

This chapter of Exodus speaks of God coming down to meet with his people. The smoke and fire, along with loud trumpets speak of his majesty and awe. Moses spoke to God and God answered him. God was preparing his people to the give them the commandments by which they should live.

3. God is angry with Israel and pours out his anger like fire upon their tents. (NIV)

Answer: Lamentations 2:4

God reminds us in this verse that he is angry with sin and that his sin kindles his anger like fire. His convent with us, though, is that he will forgive when we repent, and tenderly restores our relationship with him. His anger is a tool to bring about repentance.

4. The tongue is fire and it corrupts the body and the path of one's life. (NIV)

Answer: James 3:6

The Epistle of James is attributed to the brother of Jesus who identified himself as a servant of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. The passage from James 3:6 describing the tongue as fire serves as a reminder to be careful with one's spoken words or it could end up corrupting or bodies and lives.

5. Peter sits with guards in a courtyard and warms himself by the fire. (NIV)

Answer: Mark 14:54

The 14th chapter of the Gospel of Mark includes some of the Bible's most well known stories including Jesus being anointed by a woman, Jesus predicting that he will be betrayed and that Peter will deny him three times and the Last Supper. Verse Mark 14:54 depicts Peter in the courtyard of the high priest shortly before he denies Jesus.

6. Men anger God when they offer incense and treat him with contempt. (NIV)

Answer: Numbers 16:35

This passage in Numbers speaks of the destruction of Korah and his priests. Korah had rebelled against God by refusing to obey Moses and the fire that displayed God's displeasure consumed 250 men. Moses and Aaron, who were standing nearby, were not harmed.

7. John sees a vision of the Son of Man with white hair and eyes like a flame of fire (NIV)

Answer: Revelation 1:14

Verses 9-20 from the first chapter of the Book of Revelation are known as the Patmos Vision. The vision involves seven golden lampstands with John's vision of Jesus in the center. Jesus is also described as holding seven stars in his right hand and a two-edged sword coming out of his mouth. Upon seeing the vision John falls to the ground at Jesus's feet after which his vision of Jesus instructs him to write about what he has seen.

8. Peter and the apostles see tongues of fire that separate and rest on each of them (NIV)

Answer: Acts 2:3-4

The second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles occurs on the Pentecost, ten days after the ascension of Jesus. The tongues mentioned in Chapter 2 come after a strong wind from heaven filled the house where the apostles were meeting. After the tongues settled on the apostles they began speaking in other languages after being enabled by the Holy Spirit.

9. Only three men went in as punishment, but four were seen walking around inside the fire. (NIV)

Answer: Daniel 3:25

This verse speaks not only of the assurance of God's presence with us when we go through difficult times, it speaks of the confidence we can have, as these men did when they refused to bow to another God. When we choose God's way for us, even though it may be a fiery furnace, we are confident he goes there with us.

10. An instruction to the priests to ensure that a burnt offering on the altar does not go out. (NIV)

Answer: Leviticus 6:13

This takes place against a series of instructions God is giving to his people to help them keep his laws. The fire never was quenched until the destruction of the Temple by Nebuchadnezzar. It is reminiscent of the exercise of our faith and our unceasing prayers.
