This Aramaic participle describes fire in its burning state, appearing in Daniel's throne vision. The term emphasizes active, ongoing combustion rather than potential for burning. In Daniel's apocalyptic imagery, God's throne features flames of fire, with wheels that are burning fire—the repetition of fiery imagery creating an overwhelming sense of holiness and judgment. The French 'étincelle' (spark) oddly diverges from other languages, which maintain the continuous burning sense. This single biblical use creates one of Scripture's most visually powerful throne visions.
