- Genesis 15:17
When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, behold, a smoking firepot and a flaming torch appeared and passed between the halves of the carcasses.
Commentary on Genesis 15:171 voice
Notice, brothers, that what is called a fiery torch passing between those pieces is also not said to have touched the turtledove and pigeon. That evening signified the end of the world. Those animals, as we already said, showed a type of all the nations …

- Exodus 25:1
Then the LORD said to Moses,
Commentary on Exodus 25:11 voice
Yahweh had redeemed the Israelites from bondage. He had made a covenant with them and had given them laws. He had promised, on condition of their obedience, to accept them as His own peculiar treasure, as a kingdom of priests and an holy nation Exo 19:5-6. And now He was ready visibly to testify that He made his abode with them.

- Job 18:6
The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.
Commentary on Job 18:61 voice
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle. If we very frequently take darkness for sorrow, we ought without unfairness to take light for joy. And so 'the light is dark in his tabernacle,' in that in his conscience, which he inhabits in wickedness, the joy which he had from things temporal is brought to an end. Whence too it is fitly added; And the candle that is over him shall be put out.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book XIV, 604Patristic
- Psalms 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Commentary on Psalms 119:1051 voice
"Therefore will I remember you, O Lord, from the land of Jordan and Hermon." Therefore, one who is troubled, if he takes good counsel, goes out from Egypt and follows the way of light, for Hermon is interpreted to mean "way of the lamp." And so, go out first from Egypt, if you wish to see Christ's light. The Canaanite woman went out from the territory of the pagans and found Christ; she said to him, "Have pity on me, O son of David!"
Ambrose of Milan· Interrogation of Job and David 4:4.14, 397Patristic
- Proverbs 13:9
The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
Commentary on Proverbs 13:91 voice
"The light of the righteous rejoices," etc. The light of the righteous, which perpetually rejoices, is the hope of future things; the lamp of the impious, which suddenly goes out, is the happiness of this fleeting world. Among the proud, there are always quarrels, but …

- Isaiah 62:1
For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch.
Commentary on Isaiah 62:11 voice
(Chapter 62, verses 1 and following) For the sake of Zion I will not keep silent, and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch. And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will name. You shall be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
- Jeremiah 25:10
Moreover, I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
Commentary on Jeremiah 25:101 voice
Israel … killed those who were sent, and not even before the Lord of the vineyard were they ashamed, but even he was slain by them. Truly, when he came and found no fruit in them, he cursed them through the fig tree, saying, "From now on, let there be no fruit from you." The fig tree was dead and fruitless so that even the disciples wondered when it withered away.
Athanasius of Alexandria· FESTAL LETTERS 6:5-6, 373Patristic
- Zephaniah 1:12
And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men settled in complacency, who say to themselves, ‘The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.’
- Matthew 6:22
The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
Commentary on Matthew 6:221 voice
This is an illustration drawn from the senses. As the whole body is in darkness, where the eye is not single, so if the soul has lost her original brightness, every sense, or that whole part of the soul to which sensation belongs, will abide in darkness. Wherefore He says, If then the light which is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! that is, if the senses which are the soul's light be darkened by vice, in how great darkness do you suppose the darkness itself will be wrapped?
Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 420Patristic
- 2 Peter 1:19
We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Commentary on 2 Peter 1:191 voice
For those who have died in the faith, the light-bearing lamp has risen and the day dawns, according to the Scriptures, and to them the light of truth is sent, which is the face of the Holy Spirit.
Cyril of Alexandria· LETTERS 55.6, 444Patristic
- Revelation 4:5
From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder. Before the throne burned seven torches of fire. These are the seven Spirits of God.
Commentary on Revelation 4:51 voice
[Daniel 7:9] "I beheld until thrones were set up, and the Ancient of days took His seat. His garment was as white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was composed of fiery flames and its wheels were set on fire. From before His presence there issued forth a rushing, fiery stream."
Jerome· St. Jerome, Commentary on Daniel, CHAPTER SEVEN, 420Patristic
- Revelation 8:10
Then the third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star burning like a torch fell from heaven and landed on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
Commentary on Revelation 8:101 voice
And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, etc. Heretics, whom Jude the apostle calls stars of seduction, falling from the height of the Church, try to infect the springs of divine Scriptures with the flame of their wickedness. They are not …
