Why are the people referred to as “the fuel of the fire”?

Thomas R. Valletta

“In 2 Nephi 19:5 the bloody battle gear is fuel for the fire in preparation for the joy and peace of the ‘great light’ (v. 2). In contrast, the fuel for the fire in verses 18–19 is wickedness, including the people who continue in darkness to the point of not sparing even their own brother” (Book of Mormon Student Manual [2009], 87).
