LEVITICUS 10 — UNAUTHORIZED FIRE, SOBRIETY, AND PRIESTLY DISCERNMENT (PART 2)“Surviving Near Holy Fire After Judgment”Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyThis Torah class continues Leviticus 10, following the judgment of Nadab and Abihu and the establishment of accountability after Yahuah revealed His accepted standard in Leviticus 9.In Part 1, we examined unauthorized fire, immediate judgment, Aaron’s silence, and why grief did not override obedience.Leviticus 10 now moves from judgment to instruction for survival.This portion of the chapter establishes how priests are to remain alive, discerning, and faithful in the presence of holy fire.This is not emotional teaching.This is covenant instruction.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGE1. Sobriety and Discernment Before YahuahLeviticus 10:8–11Yahuah speaks directly to Aaron and commands sobriety. This instruction is not about lifestyle control but about preserving discernment. Near holy fire, impaired judgment is deadly. Priests must be able to distinguish between the qadosh and the common and teach Israel accurately.2. Service Continues After JudgmentLeviticus 10:12–15Priestly service does not stop because judgment was severe. Obedience continues with greater restraint. Covenant order is preserved even when leadership has suffered loss.3. Rebuke, Discernment, and RestraintLeviticus 10:16–20Moses rebukes Aaron for deviation, because leadership must always be examined. Aaron’s explanation is accepted because restraint is not rebellion. Presumption adds action without command. Wisdom withholds action out of fear of Yahuah.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSDiscernment is required near holinessSobriety preserves lifeLeadership remains accountableRestraint is honoredPresumption is judgedCovenant order is protectedLeviticus 10 teaches that survival near holy fire requires discipline, clarity, and fear of Yahuah, not enthusiasm or impulse.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYLeviticus 9–10Exodus 40Deuteronomy 4 • Deuteronomy 12Numbers 15 • Numbers 20Ezekiel 9 • Ezekiel 24Malachi 21 Samuel 24Proverbs 23Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.Our teaching follows the Sovereign Blueprint:Law | Precept | Example | Wisdom | Understanding | Prudence | Conviction | Fruit of the Ruach | Final Heart CheckSUPPORT THE WORK — GIVE VIA ZELLEZelle QR at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only.No CashApp.No PayPal.FINAL WORDYahuah reveals His standard.Judgment enforces it.Discernment preserves life.Restraint protects the altar.Leviticus 10 governs how priests survive after accountability has been revealed.Final Heart Check:Now that judgment has already fallen, will your response show discernment, restraint, and fear of Yahuah, or will it presume upon access?
