How Hot was Elijah’s Fire of the Lord?

Ken Brown | June 26, 2010

Elijah built an alter out of stone, placed wood and a sacrifice on it, drenched it with water (12 barrels), and then prayed that God would answer by fire. God’s response is recorded in 1 Kings 18:38. “Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.” How hot would this “fire” have to have been, and what was it?
