flaming sword
Burning weapon, biblical
A flaming sword is a sword wreathed in fire, most famously the weapon given to the cherubim guarding Eden after Adam and Eve's expulsion.
The image appears across mythology, fantasy games, and religious art as a symbol of divine authority or supernatural power.
Figuratively, any fierce or zealous instrument of justice: She wielded her pen like a flaming sword.
