DEALING WITH ALTARS

WHAT IS AN ALTAR? An altar is a meeting place between humanity and divinity, established through covenant and serviced through sacrifices. Altars are activated by sacrifices. When sacrifice is placed upon an altar, the diety to which the altar is raised begins to operate. The first thing Noah did after escaping the flood the destroyed the first was to build an altar to God so that he could be meeting with God who saved him (Gen. 8:18-22) Prophet Balaam, in his quest to place curse upon God's people raised 21 altars and sacrifices 42 animals (Numbers23:1-8). Before Gideon could be effective in his ministry and destiny, God told him to pull down the altar his father built for a national idol called baal (Judges 6:24-26). Elijah had to repair the altar in order to bring God's fire from heaven.
