fire falling from the sky was often attributed to a malevolent fire-throwing deity. Moreover, Satan is depicted as causing fire to fall from heaven in Job (1:16).[12] And in a passage in Revelation that some argue is intended to associate Elijah’s incinerating miracle with demonic activity, we find a beast operating under the authority of Satan that is able to deceive people by “causing fire to come down from heaven” (Rev 13:13).
