The Old Testament is often full of New Testament hope. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations” ( Ezekiel 36:26-27). I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. “And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. We are not created of night, nor are we owned by darkness” ( 1 Thessalonians 5:5, VOICE). If we follow Jesus, we “will not know darkness.” Not here on earth, or after we pass away from it. The NIV notes on this verse compare the light of Jesus in our present-day lives to that of the pillar of cloud the Israelites followed in the desert ( Exodus 13:21). ![]() When we follow the light of Jesus, we live past this earth and on to eternity. The VOICE version uses the word “nourishing”, which conveys a sense of continued growth throughout eternity. Jesus assured us that following Him would lead us to the light, keep us within the light, and promise us a bright future ( John 8:12). In an instant, the pitch black sky burst forth with blinding light. When Jesus was born on earth, angels appeared to the shepherds in the fields ( Luke 2:8-16). The authorities in the time of Christ, however, assure us that the perpetual fire was one of the five things wanting in the second Temple.“I am the light that shines through the cosmos if you walk with Me, you will thrive in the nourishing light that gives life and will not know darkness” ( John 8:12, VOICE). Indeed, we are positively assured that the pious priests who were carried captives into Persia concealed it in a pit, where it remained till the time of Nehemiah, when it was restored to the altar ( 2 Maccabees 1:19-22). It never was quenched till the destruction of the Temple by Nebuchadnezzar. During the second Temple, this perpetual fire consisted of three parts or separate piles of wood on the same altar: on the largest one the daily sacrifice was burnt the second, which was called the pile of incense, supplied the fire for the censers to burn the morning and evening incense and the third was the perpetual fire from which the other two portions were fed. ![]() It must not be extinguished.Ī perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar it shall not go out.Įllicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) The fire shall ever be burning.-This fire, which first came down from heaven ( Leviticus 9:24), was to be continually fed with the fuel especially provided by the congregation, and with the daily burnt offerings. ![]() The fire is to be kept burning continuously on the altar it must not go out.Ī continual fire must be kept burning on the altar.
