FIRE

Calling, calling the sun is burning black...
Calling, calling the moon is running red...
Calling, calling the stars are falling down
The sun turned black... the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth... Revelation 6:12-13 NIV see Isaiah 34:4, Joel 2:31, Revelation 8:10, 9:1

Jesus: "the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken." Matthew 24:29 NIV see also Mark 13:24-25
But there's a fire inside
And I'm falling over
There's a fire in me
When I call out
You built a fire, fire
Whenever I speak, I cry out…. But if I say, "I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name," his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. Jeremiah 20:8-9 NIV

​But my anguish increased; my heart grew hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue. ​Psalm 39:2-3 NIV
With a fire...
There's a fire inside...
There's a fire in me...
You built a fire, fire
Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages. Psalm 50:3 NIV
​
He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants. Psalm 104:4 NIV
 
Suddenly... the Lord Almighty will come with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with windstorm and tempest and flames of devouring fire. Isaiah 29:5-6 NIV
