🌻On the eighth day, the fire of the Lord came from heaven and consumed the burnt offering. This signified that Aaron and his sons could now serve priests of the Lord.This fire 🔥 was never to be let to die out at the alter.
🌻In the New Testament, we see Christ resurrecting and after 40 days ascended to Heaven just as Aaron went into the Tabernacle.
🌻In about 10 days from the Ascension, the Holy Spirit appeared in tongues of fire 🔥 upon the disciples in the upper room.
🌻The Significance was a sign of the Lord’s acceptance of Jesus Sacrifice and the lighting up of the zeal of men which signifies commencement of service.
🌻Indeed when the Holy Spirit came upon them, 3000 men gave their lives to Christ and they became witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea and the utmost parts of the earth. Signs miracles and wonders followed them, signifying the present glory of God.

Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit” (Acts 8:14-17).
