So we're back at a middle territory between being and becoming.
>I am the being that will become what is and the becoming that will be eternally.
Back off, take off your shoes.

>This world, which is the same for all, no one of gods or men has made. But it always was and will be: an ever-living fire, with measures of it kindling, and measures going out.
- Heraclitus

>The mortals lay down and decided well to name two forms (i.e. the flaming light and obscure darkness of night), out of which it is necessary not to make one, and in this they are led astray. (B 8.53–4)
- Parmenides

>For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
Deuteronomy 4:24.

My favourite verse is probably psalm 23 which leads into my thoughts on messianism. It says (23:5) "You anoit my head with oil", it seems the implication, at least to me, is that we should all think of ourselves as anoited ones. We should all strive to do the Lord's work and make a place for (H)im on earth and try to make (H)im proud. I.e. we should use the gifts (H)e has given us to be virtuous. This is as simple as "the only thing that is good in itself is a good will".
