Abstract
Biblical authors create a language of metaphor and description on the basis of everyday life’s observation. So a lot of them are polysemantic – according to variety of vitality forms in our world. One of such example is the phrase flame of fire, used in the Greek Bible 18 times (and 2 more in Hebrew Bible). It’s a comparative element in God’s description – not only His power, independence, sovereignty but also His love and care. Biblical authors use this comparison also because of the sensual aspect of that. Very often situations are like flame of fire: something seems to be dangerous or destructive but it’s only the first impression – next it changes into experience of freedom and joy. Jesus’ eyes in the Book of Revelation are like flame of fire - because He is clear, knows us completely, dislike false and wanted people to be dynamic and apply God’s word in every – not only few – situations of life.
