Strange[edit]

Strange fire how: strange? where from?

Nadab and Abihu represents a class of people. The rebellious, the unrepented ones who despite knowing better they choose to do evil. This class of people are the ones who after the Second Coming and inauguration of God's Kingdom on Earth, they refuse to reform and obey the Laws of that Kingdom. The Second Coming is about installment on Earth of God's Kingdom. This will be the time when all people who weren't called to the Heavenly Call (Heb 3:1) will be called to inherit the Earth (Matt. 5:5). Jesus and the "Bride/Church/Levites" will form the unseen heavenly government, while the rest of the people will be called to obey and reform. The humanity will have 1000 years to do that and adapt to the just laws of the Kingdom. If they do they will "inherit the Earth". If they don't repent, reform and obey they will enter the Nadab and Nabihu class. The relatives will be told not to mourn them, as they refused to reform in full light, having full knowledge. Because at the Second Coming God will reveal Himself to all people (Isaiah 25:6-9, Isaiah 11:9,etc) Thus, the "I didn't know" no longer applies. The 1000 years period is the Day of Judgement (2Peter 3:8) and applies to regular people. The Church/Bride/Levites has had the call and the reward completed by then and those accepted to be part of Christ's body were rewarded with the spiritual nature and are taken from Earth to be part of the Heavenly government. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.40.161.225 (talk) 21:13, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Incense[edit]

One thing this article has not discussed is that the fire may have been kindled of incense that was ritually offered in idolatrous Egyptian ceremonies, and brought out from Egypt during the Exodus. 172.10.238.180 (talk) 00:02, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Christian mysticism[edit]

I removed the section as unsourced for now. It was initially unsourced then a citation and tag was added later by another editor. The dictionary source didn't support any of the content... —Paleo Neonate – 03:09, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

Most are primary, but some also aren't. The few secondary ones are usually very old and uncritical. For instance, this is recognized to be part of nationalist mythology and ancient law codes, power justification for a small human elite that represents the "official divinity" and cannot be challenged, an ultimate loyalty lesson. A capricious god taints the place's holyness himself and humans are again responsible for cleaning the mess with yet another special ritual. The prohibited mourning is like shunning and original sin doctrines, the uncleanliness or sin is like a contagious disease, must taint a larger group, etc. Like monotheism was the result of political power concentration after the wide development of agriculture. I would be surprised if modern academic sources cannot be found. —Paleo Neonate – 05:40, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
