This Biblical event took place on the slopes of the holy mountain called Sinai. The story is best told by the Bible itself, condensed from the book of Exodus:
"And Moses looked and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed."
"And God called unto him out of the midst of the bush and said, 'Moses, Moses!' And he said, 'Here am I.'"
"Moreover he said, 'I am the God of your father - the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'"
"Then he said, 'Put off thy shoes from thy feet, for the palace whereon thou standest is holy ground.'"
"And the Lord said, 'I have surely seen the oppression of My people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters.'"
"Come now, therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh that thou mayest bring forth My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt."

God appeard as a flame in the burning bush. God is a spirit and has no real visable form.

God's presence has appeared as a flame in at least three instances...
moses
leading the Israelis through the dessert
in the upper room on the day of Pentecost
but no, this does not mean God is in fire, or fire is God. this is simply how God has shown himself to people sometimes.

TO Lady Di-USA
if you manage to read bible you would see how many times GOD was in human form to talk to ppl. No need for Some inveting interpretation. BIble does not lie. Therefore GOD exists.
BIble is true becuase it says it is. GOd exist because bible says so. And before GOD was another god who made the mistake to create the god and so on. Therefore GODS do exists.

yes God is referred to as a consuming fire..and if i read it correctly i believe he is referring to like the purifying of of silver or gold , because that is mentioned as well a few times in scripture..in order to purify metals the must be heated very hot to burn off the impurities..and that is how God will come across as well in our lives in order to purify us . but also to destroy the enemies of Himself , his son Jesus and us his children..some day he will appear as a consuming fire to those who refuse him and deny him..

He is God, he can pretty much be anything he wants to be. And he is not consuming in the sense that you are thinking.
