約珥書 1:13

Studie

       

13 祭司啊,你們當腰束麻布痛哭;伺候祭壇的啊,你們要哀號;事奉我的啊,你們要披上麻布過夜,因為素祭和奠祭從你們的殿中斷絕了。

Fire

Fire, in the spiritual sense, can mean either love or hatred depending on the context, just as natural fire can be either comforting in keeping you warm, or scary in burning down your house. Our language reflects this, too -- we use concepts like a smoldering hatred or a burning love. So fire signifies a love, either a good love of the neighbor and to the Lord, or, in a bad sense, selfish love of oneself that, if unchecked by conscience, leads to hatred of anyone that opposes it.
