John Chrysostom, on Heb 12:29
John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
Heb 12:29 · Douay-Rheims
“For our God is a consuming fire.”
On this verse:
“"For our God is a consuming fire." These things, he means, are terrible; and so terrible that they could not even bear to hear them, that not even "a beast" dared to go up. But things that come hereafter are not such. For what is Sinai to Heaven? And what the "fire which might be touched" to God who cannot be touched? For "God is a consuming fire."”
