14.67 · Physical Events and States · Burning
heat, scorching heat heat sufficiently intense to cause suffering or burning In some languages the effect of heat may be described simply as ‘heat will not scorch them’ or ‘they will not suffer because of heat’ (REV 7:16). Such expressions, however, may be ambiguous because they might mean that the individuals involved would be able to easily withstand the heat. The meaning of the biblical passage, however, is that there would be no heat to cause them harm.
