fire
Essentially as symbol of God's holiness. As such it expresses God in three ways:
1. In judgment upon that which His holiness utterly condemns (for example) (Gen 19:24); (Mar 9:43-48); (Rev 20:15).
2. In the manifestation of Himself, and of that which He approves (Exo 3:2); (Pe1 1:7); (Exo 13:21); and ...
3. In purification (e.g) (Co1 3:12-14); (Mal 3:2); (Mal 3:3). So, in Leviticus, the fire which only manifests the sweet savour of the burnt-, meal-, and peace-offerings, wholly consumes the sin-offering.
fat
That which burns most quickly - devotedness, zeal. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |

3. They took out the intestines with the mesentery, and washed them well, as also the fat.
4. They then placed the four quarters upon the altar, covered them with the fat, laid the remains of the intestines upon them, and then laid the head above all.
5. The sacred fire was then applied, and the whole mass was consumed. This was the holocaust, or complete burnt-offering. |
