       The passage reveals that as these men were scored by the fierce heat, they cursed God’s name over it. This is the first time we see God’s name get cursed by the unbelievers experiencing these plagues. If it is the case that the sun’s heat has been turned up, just think that these individuals not only have to deal with severe burns, but also they have to deal with the burns in severe heat, probably so much so that air conditioning may not even be working. It might be just hot enough before death would occur, but too hot for cooling systems to work. This bothers me even thinking about it. Oh, and don’t forget, the people are still dealing with the sores from the first plague! Remember, these plagues occur in rapid secession, perhaps over days, or a month, or maybe multiple months. John tells us that the people who were scorched, who had experienced all the previous plagues, he says that they did not repent and give God glory.
