Leviticus 6:8-13
Leviticus 6:8 And the Lord said to Moses,
Leviticus 6:9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is
the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering shall remain on the altar all
night until morning; the fire shall be kept burning on the altar.
Leviticus 6:10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment
and put his linen breeches on his body, and take up the ashes of what the fire
has consumed with the burnt offering on the altar and put them beside the
altar.
Leviticus 6:11 And he shall put off his garments and put on
other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.
Leviticus 6:12 And the fire upon the altar shall be kept
burning on it; it shall not be allowed to go out. The priest shall burn wood on
it every morning and lay the burnt offering in order upon it and he shall burn
on it the fat of the peace offerings.
Leviticus 6:13 The fire shall be burning continually upon
the altar; it shall not go out.
a. Two burnt offerings are
mentioned, the evening offering, Leviticus 6:9, and the morning offering,
Leviticus 6:12.
b. This was previously mentioned earlier
in the book of Exodus.
1). Exodus 29:38-41Now this is that
which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day
continually.
Exodus 29:39 The one lamb thou
shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
And with the one lamb a tenth deal
of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth
part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.
Exodus 29:40 And the other lamb
thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering
of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet
savour, an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
Exodus 29:41 This shall be a
continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord: where I will meet you, to speak
there unto thee.
c. The priest had the
responsibility to keep the fire burning continually, it was not allowed to go
out.
1). Leviticus 6:12, 13 And the fire
upon the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be allowed to go out.
The priest shall burn wood on it every morning and lay the burnt offering in
order upon it and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings.
Leviticus 6:13 The fire shall be
burning continually upon the altar; it shall not go out.
d. Seeing that the Old Covenant priesthood
is a type and foreshadow of things in the New Covenant, we should see things in
the New Testament that verify it.
1). We are the temple of God. Our
God is a consuming fire and we have been baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire.
We have the responsibility of keeping the fire lit and burning.
a). 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 What?
know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,
which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are
bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,
which are God's.
b). Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a
consuming fire.
c). Matthew 3:11, 12 I indeed
baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier
than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy
Ghost, and with fire:
Matthew 3:12Whose fan is in his
hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the
garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
d). 2 Timothy 1:6 Wherefore I put
thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the
putting on of my hands.
