The Fire of God's Justice

Commentators highlight the powerful imagery of God's wrath. It is described as a consuming fire that destroys His enemies as easily as fire burns dry stubble. This isn't presented as arbitrary anger, but as a righteous judgment flowing from God's perfect holiness and 'excellency' against those who defiantly oppose Him.
