Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench — Fire falls from heaven and consumes everything: the sacrifice, wood, stones, dust, and even the water in the trench. The phrase shows divine fire as absolutely destructive and undeniable. The consuming of the water emphasizes the miracle's impossibility by natural causation.
