The Smoke of Judgment
Abraham witnessed the aftermath of God's judgment, a scene of total destruction. Commentators note the imagery of smoke rising "as from a furnace" or, more accurately, a "kiln," signifies an incredibly intense and complete fire. This visual confirmation serves as a sober reminder of the reality and severity of God's wrath against unrepentant sin.
