FIRE … CONSUMED THEM / LEVITICUS 10:2

(KJV) Leviticus 10:2

And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

Nadab and Abihu were killed because, as priests, they defied God and His law and showed complete disrespect for the holy place (Leviticus 10:3).

1. By using fire from a clearly forbidden source (Leviticus 10:1; Exodus 30:9-10), these disobedient priests refused to take God’s commandments seriously. Instead of teaching God’s Law as His holy ministers, they served their own desires and proved that they had no fear of or reverence for God.
2. These two men were to be spiritual leaders. However, sin that is done intentionally and openly by God’s ministers does a lot of damage to God’s purposes on earth. Their examples dishonor the church, while misleading it people; but most importantly, they dishonor God. This is why the Bible teaches that only those who have lived out a steadfast and consistent faithfulness and loyalty to God and His Word are qualified to lead God’s people (1 Timothy 3:1-7).
