Luke 12:49

"I have come to set fire to the earth (cast fire) – I wish it were already burning!
[In nature, fire provides heat and light, but at the same time it also consumes the material that burns. Fire refines metals so that only what is genuine remains. In the Bible, fire is used as an image of God's holiness, judgment and baptism in the Holy Spirit. Jesus' desire for the fire to burn probably refers to several things – that the fire of trial would refine believers to live completely surrendered to him, that the day of Pentecost was already here so that believers were burning with the Holy Spirit and were bright lights in a dark world. This is what happened when God's word was revealed in the hearts of the travelers to Emmaus, and it was like a fire within them, see Luke 24:32.]
