While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you."What is this fire of God? Was it a heavenly blast, like what Elijah called down? Or was it something more terrestrial? A meteor strike? A volcanic eruption? What would cause such a large event to wipe out his entire sheep herd, 7,000 of them and the land that would take up?
If it was supernatural, how did it happen? Did God directly cause the fire to come down? Or was his giving Satan permission enough to allow him the power to release it? How much of this was God's allowance, versus His doing?
