Acts 2:3: On the day of Pentecost, there appeared to them divided tongues of fire which fell upon each one of them. Why the fire? It is the fire of God from Heaven’s Altar, lit by God, on the altar of His Temple of the New Covenant.
The continual fire of the Brazen Altar was the responsibility of the priest to keep the fire going. It is for the believer to keep on fire for God and to ever see that the Fire of Calvary’s message is kept alive.

It is now the responsibility of humans to keep it lit. Fire fell from Heaven many times in the Bible.
