It can be applied in both literal and metaphorical contexts, encompassing physical destruction, spiritual judgment, and the complete dedication of offerings to God.<br><br><b>Old Testament References:</b><br>In the Old Testament, "consume" frequently describes God's judgment and wrath upon sin and disobedience. For instance, in <a href="/deuteronomy/4-24.htm">Deuteronomy 4:24</a>, God is described as "a consuming fire," emphasizing His holiness and the seriousness of idolatry: "For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God." This imagery is repeated in other passages, such as <a href="/isaiah/33-14.htm">Isaiah 33:14</a>, where sinners in Zion are terrified, asking, "Who among us can dwell with the consuming fire?"<br><br>The term is also used in the context of sacrifices. In Leviticus, the fire on the altar is commanded to be kept burning continually, consuming the offerings presented to God (<a href="/leviticus/6-12.htm">Leviticus 6:12-13</a>). This signifies the complete dedication and acceptance of the offerings by God.<br><br><b>New Testament References:</b><br>In the New Testament, the concept of consuming is often linked to spiritual realities. <a href="/hebrews/12-29.htm">Hebrews 12:29</a> reiterates the Old Testament depiction of God as a consuming fire, reminding believers of the reverence due to Him: "For our God is a consuming fire." This serves as a warning and an encouragement to live in holiness and reverence.<br><br>The idea of consuming is also present in the context of the end times. In <a href="/2_thessalonians/2-8.htm">2 Thessalonians 2:8</a>, it is prophesied that the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will "consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy by the splendor of His coming." This highlights the ultimate victory of Christ over evil.<br><br><b>Spiritual Implications:</b><br>The concept of consuming in the Bible underscores the totality of God's power and judgment. It serves as a reminder of the seriousness of sin and the need for repentance. At the same time, it points to the complete and total dedication required in worship and service to God. Believers are called to offer themselves as living sacrifices, wholly consumed by their devotion to God (<a href="/romans/12.htm">Romans 12:1</a>).<br><br><b>Practical Application:</b><br>Understanding the biblical concept of consuming encourages believers to examine their lives for areas of idolatry or sin that need to be surrendered to God. It also inspires a deeper commitment to living a life that is fully dedicated to God's purposes, recognizing His holiness and the transformative power of His presence.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
