LUKE 12:30 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.”
I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! — the fire Jesus brings connects his ministry to the Baptist's announcement of the coming one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire (3:16). The judgment-fire and the Spirit-fire are two aspects of the same event: the kingdom's arrival that refines the faithful and consumes the faithless (Malachi 3:2-3, Isaiah 66:15-16).
