In the context of biblical literature, the term "warms" is not directly referenced as a standalone concept but can be understood through its association with warmth, fire, and the metaphorical use of heat in Scripture. The Bible often uses warmth and fire to symbolize God's presence, purification, and the Holy Spirit's work.

Symbolism of Warmth and Fire

1. God's Presence: Warmth and fire are frequently used to represent the presence of God. In Exodus 3:2, Moses encounters God in the form of a burning bush: "The Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that the bush was on fire, but it was not consumed." This warmth signifies God's holy presence and His call to Moses.

2. Purification: Fire is also a symbol of purification and refining. Malachi 3:2-3 speaks of God as a refiner's fire: "But who can endure the day of His coming? Who can stand when He appears? For He will be like a refiner's fire, like a launderer's soap. And He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver." Here, the warmth of the fire is a metaphor for God's purifying work in the lives of His people.

3. Holy Spirit: The warmth of fire is associated with the Holy Spirit, as seen in Acts 2:3-4: "They saw tongues like flames of a fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them." The warmth of the Spirit empowers and emboldens believers.

Practical Implications of Warmth

1. Hospitality and Care: Warmth is also a practical expression of hospitality and care. In Acts 28:2, the islanders show unusual kindness to Paul and his companions: "The islanders showed us extraordinary kindness. They kindled a fire and welcomed all of us because it was raining and cold." The warmth of the fire here is a tangible expression of compassion and hospitality.

2. Spiritual Zeal: Warmth can symbolize spiritual fervor and zeal. In Revelation 3:15-16, the church in Laodicea is admonished for being lukewarm: "I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other! So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth." The call is for believers to be fervent and passionate in their faith.

Metaphorical Use of Heat

1. Trials and Testing: Heat is often used metaphorically to describe trials and testing. In 1 Peter 1:6-7, trials are compared to the refining process: "In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials, so that the proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."

2. Judgment: The warmth of fire is also a symbol of judgment. In 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8, it is written: "And to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in blazing fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus."

In summary, while "warms" as a term is not explicitly found in the Bible, its related concepts of warmth and fire are rich with symbolic meaning, representing God's presence, purification, the Holy Spirit, hospitality, spiritual zeal, trials, and judgment. These themes are woven throughout Scripture, offering profound insights into the nature of God and the life of faith.2552. chamam -- to be or become warm
