Leviticus 9:7-10:20
1. (2011) Fire came out and consumed the sacrifice: God sups with His people. An interesting comment from Henry:
This fire did consume (or, as the word is, eat up) the present sacrifice. And two ways this was a testimony of acceptance:—(1.) It signified the turning away of God's wrath from them. God's wrath is a consuming fire; this fire might justly have fastened upon the people, and consumed them for their sins; but its fastening upon the sacrifice, and consuming that, signified God's acceptance of that as an atonement for the sinner. (2.) It signified God's entering into covenant and communion with them: they ate their part of the sacrifice, and the fire of the Lord ate up his part; and thus he did, as it were, sup with them, and they with him, Rev. 3:20.Mark 4:26-5:20
