A flaming sword is a magic sword glowing with flame, such as might be employed by characters in the game Dungeons and Dragons. According to the Bible, a Cherub with a rotating flaming sword was placed by God at the gates of Paradise after Adam and Eve were banished from it (Genesis 3:24).
It is at least controversial. The definition should be split in two: 1. magic sword 2. Biblical sword

I just saw a cartoon tweeted https://twitter.com/Free00746552/status/1312600233616998400 which features the flaming sword among the angels, and the cartoonist has the sword belonging to the Principality (angel) order of angels. -- Kiyoweap ( talk) 08:11, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
I changed this heading to "Biblical, Christian, and Jewish sources", as only 1/3 of the topics were Christian — the other two being the book of Genesis, which was composed prior to the existence of Christianity; and Jewish folklore. -- Nefaeryous ( talk) 05:23, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
