Definition and Context:
The term "storm-flames" is not explicitly found in the Bible; however, it can be understood as a metaphorical expression combining elements of storms and flames, both of which are significant in biblical literature. Storms and flames are often used symbolically to represent God's power, judgment, and presence.

Biblical References and Symbolism:

1. God's Power and Majesty:
Storms in the Bible frequently symbolize the power and majesty of God. In Job 38:1 , "Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said," the whirlwind represents God's overwhelming presence and authority. Similarly, flames often signify God's holiness and purifying power, as seen in Exodus 3:2 , "There the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from within a bush."

2. Judgment and Wrath:
Both storms and flames are used to depict divine judgment. In Isaiah 29:6 , it is written, "You will be visited by the LORD of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with windstorm and tempest and flames of consuming fire." Here, the combination of storm and fire imagery underscores the severity of God's judgment upon the unfaithful.

3. Theophany and Divine Revelation:
Storms and flames are often associated with theophanies, where God reveals Himself to humanity. In Exodus 19:18 , "Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke because the LORD had descended on it in fire," the presence of God is marked by both storm-like and fiery elements, indicating His divine revelation to the Israelites.

4. Protection and Guidance:
While storms and flames can signify judgment, they also represent God's protection and guidance. In Exodus 13:21 , "And the LORD went before them in a pillar of cloud to guide their way by day and in a pillar of fire to give them light by night," the pillar of fire provided light and guidance, demonstrating God's protective presence.

5. Purification and Refinement:
Flames, in particular, are symbolic of purification. In Malachi 3:2-3 , "For He will be like a refiner's fire, like a launderer's soap. And He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver," the refining fire represents God's process of purifying His people, removing impurities and preparing them for His purposes.

Theological Implications:

The imagery of storm-flames in the Bible serves to remind believers of the multifaceted nature of God's interaction with the world. It highlights His sovereignty, as He controls the forces of nature, and His righteousness, as He judges sin and purifies His people. The dual imagery also reassures believers of God's presence and guidance, even amidst trials and tribulations, as He leads them through life's storms and refines them through fiery trials.Storm-flames (1 Occurrence)
