{That he should even make fire come down out of heaven}
(hina kai pur poi(8869) ek tou ouranou katabainein). Purpose clause
again with hina and the present active subjunctive of poie(935c)
and the object infinitive of katabain(935c) after poiei. Christ
promised great signs to the disciples ( Joh 14:12 ), but he also
warned them against false prophets and false christs with their
signs and wonders ( Mr 13:22 ). So also Paul had pictured the
power of the man of sin ( 2Th 2:9 ). Elijah had called down fire
from heaven ( 1Ki 18:38  2Ki 1:10 ) and James and John had once
even urged Jesus to do this miracle ( Lu 9:54 ).
