Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Destruction / Perishing Language

While the verse speaks of "great destruction," it does not explicitly use any of the specific terms listed in the theme definition such as "destroy," "perish," or "consume." Instead, it describes an impending threat and calls for flight and warning signals.

Fire Imagery

The "sign of fire" mentioned is a signal, not an instance of fire used in a judgment or punishment context, and therefore does not align with the theme's definition.
