Bamidbar (Numbers) 16:35-40 And fire came out from HaShem and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense. HaShem said to Moses, "Tell Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest, to take the censers out of the smoldering remains and scatter the coals some distance away, for the censers are holy-- The censers of the men who sinned at the cost of their lives. Hammer the censers into sheets to overlay the altar, for they were presented before HaShem and have become holy. Let them be a sign to the Israelites." So Eleazar the priest collected the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned up, and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar, As HaShem directed him through Moses. This was to remind the Israelites that no one except a descendant of Aaron should come to burn incense before HaShem, or he would become like Korah and his followers.

Revelation 8:3-5 the golden censer with much incemse...offering it with the prayers of alls aints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. The smoke of the incense, which came with th e prayers of the saints ascended up before G-d out of the angel's hand.....Now this is where it gets interesting....And the angel took the censer and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

Thoughts....the prayers of the saints are answered with the fire of the altar (Holy Spirit - annointing with visions and dreams) or should I take it a step further (sealed in the priesthood)???
