“And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.”
They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God's people, the city he loves; but fire came down from heaven and devoured them - the armies surround God's people and the beloved city (Jerusalem, the seat of God's kingdom), but divine fire instantly consumes them. The victory is swift and total.
