Strange Fire
Evil Eve: The Harlotry of the First Century sons of Aaron
The Lord “called” Adam as Day 1, giving him one law (light). He divided him as Day 2 and built Eve as a Holy Place, a firmament to be filled with stars (godly offspring). As Day 3 He made a new covenant and married them, the first nearbringing. Adam as the Bronze Altar (dust elevated from the Land) then became the first High Priest, the Table. In his obedience, together they prefigured totus Christus.
Day 4 follows. As Adam represented singular light, Eve was plural light. She was the holy fire on the altar, the glory of Adam. [1] Day 4 is the Lampstand. Day 4 is also the wilderness. If Eve was seduced, it was because Adam’s priesthood was corrupt. There was strange fire on the altar, the biblical theme of harlotry. In the garden, the strange fire was the false lightbearer who filled the “firmament” with darkness.
With that background, look at how this plays out in Daniel 7. It also supports James Jordan’s assertion that the fact that the beast’s body is “feminine” carries some importance. [2] The false church is the body of totus diabolus, the locust swarm gathered as a tabernacle by the fallen head. Daniel seven is the history of the first century church as the Woman in the wilderness. But the faithfulness of the new Adam brought an end to the priesthood of the sons of Aaron.
From Totus Christus:
Creation – Ark – Light – Sabbath
The Lord sends the four winds of His Spirit in His saints
Division – Veil – Firmament – Passover
The four winds of the breath of God divide the Sea…
Ascension – Table – Dry Land, Grain & Fruit – Firstfruits
…into Land beasts which carry the saints. Ancient of Days, our High Priest (Adam, the Man-table), ascends to His throne (as Sinai) and the book of judgment is opened
Testing – Lampstand – Lights – Pentecost
The Herodian beast makes war against the saints. This serpent/dragon is destroyed, and “her” body is burned [2]
Maturity – Incense – Birds & Fish – Trumpets
The triumphant firstfruits church is mustered and ascends before God as an army in a cloud of incense
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the [Land] will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates [the place of judgment]. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. (Matthew 24:29-34)
Conquest – People & Priest – Land Animals & Man – Atonement
Greater Eve receives an everlasting dominion over the beasts…
Glorification – Rest – Booths
…and a kingdom that shall not be destroyed (as Zion)

- “The fact that the Little Horn’s body is burned up is one more indication that the Little Horn represents the apostate Jewish/Herodian faction. The word “living creature” or “beast” is feminine, and so the “it” and “its” in Daniel 7 are really “she, her, hers”. So, translating completely literally, verse 11 would read, “she was slain, the beast; and he was destroyed, her body; and she was given into the burning of fire”. Whether or not it is legitimate to give much weight to the feminine pronouns, it is still interesting how the feminine pronoun links with the allusion to Leviticus 21:9. Since the Little Horn beast is a body of people, its death means the destruction of that body. The Horn is the head of the body, and it (she) is killed and burned. What almost happened to faithful Jews in Daniel 3 now does happen to faithless ones, who reject the one like a Son of God (Daniel 3:25).” James B. Jordan, The Handwriting on the Wall, p. 400-401.
