Leviticus 6:13
The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
There is a positive and negative aspect to the verse.
First the fire shall ever be burning.
This fire was first set from heaven and then the priests were to see that this fire always had fuel, was always in the ready, was ever the heat and the source of the atonement of sin.
Secondly the fire could never go out.
• Regardless of times or seasons
• Regardless of the condition of Israel
• Regardless if they were on the move or had rested for a very long time
This fire was never to be extinguished.
The fire is a symbol and type of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ which, for the sake of the believer is always burning. Our sins are completely atoned and when we sin we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. For the sake of the lost the fire never goes out. Christ never stops seeking sinners. There is always an opportunity for another to be born again.
