This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

That he should even make fire come down out of heaven (hina kai pur poiēi ek tou ouranou katabainein). Purpose clause again with hina and the present active subjunctive of poieō and the object infinitive of katabainō 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 (Mar 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 (Luk 9:54).
