Day 4: Playing with Unholy Fire
Biblical stories that could make good horror/paranormal movies
No animals in today’s story, just a couple of guys who disobey God. A short story about two of Aaron’s sons, taking place while the Hebrew people were wandering the desert after their exodus from Egyptian slavery. This story is not in the lectionary, and probably most of you have never heard it before.
Leviticus 10:1 Now Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu each took his censer, put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and they offered unholy fire before the Lord, such as he had not commanded them. 2 And fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. 3 Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord meant when he said,
‘Through those who are near me
I will show myself holy,
and before all the people
I will be glorified.’ ”
And Aaron was silent.
Rough stuff. Be careful playing with unholy fire.
