The term "flared" is not directly found in the Bible; however, the concept of something flaring up, such as anger or wrath, is present throughout the Scriptures. In biblical contexts, "flared" can be understood as a sudden outburst or intensification of emotion, particularly in relation to divine or human anger.

Divine Anger:

The Bible frequently describes God's anger as being kindled or flaring up in response to sin and disobedience. This anthropomorphic language helps convey the seriousness of sin and the holiness of God. For instance, in the Old Testament, God's anger flares against the Israelites when they turn to idolatry or fail to keep His commandments. In Exodus 32:10 , after the Israelites create the golden calf, God says to Moses, "Now leave Me alone, so that My anger may burn against them and consume them. Then I will make you into a great nation."

Similarly, in Numbers 11:1 , the Israelites' complaints lead to divine wrath: "Now the people began complaining openly before the LORD about hardship, and when the LORD heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp."

Human Anger:

Human anger is also depicted in the Bible, often with cautionary advice. The Scriptures warn against allowing anger to flare up uncontrollably, as it can lead to sin. In Ephesians 4:26-27 , the Apostle Paul advises, "Be angry, yet do not sin. Do not let the sun set upon your anger, and do not give the devil a foothold." This passage underscores the importance of managing anger and not allowing it to lead to sinful actions.

Proverbs 29:11 contrasts the wise and the foolish in their handling of anger: "A fool vents all his anger, but a wise man holds it back." This proverb highlights the value of self-control and the dangers of letting anger flare without restraint.

Symbolism and Imagery:

The imagery of fire is often used in the Bible to symbolize anger, both divine and human. Fire's ability to flare up quickly and cause destruction serves as a powerful metaphor for the consequences of unchecked anger. James 3:5-6 uses the metaphor of fire to describe the tongue's potential for harm: "Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze. The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell."

Conclusion:

While the specific term "flared" is not used in the Bible, the concept is woven throughout the Scriptures in the context of both divine and human emotions. The Bible provides guidance on understanding and managing anger, emphasizing the importance of self-control and the potential consequences of allowing anger to flare unchecked.
