Leviticus 10:8
Compare all
6 And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons, “Do not uncover your heads nor tear your clothes, lest you die, and awrath come upon all the people. But let your brethren, the whole house of Israel,2 bewail the burning which the Lord has kindled.  
7 aYou shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of meeting, lest you die, bfor the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you.” And they did according to the word of Moses.  

Conduct Prescribed for Priests

8 Then the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying:
9 a“Do not drink wine or intoxicating drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of meeting, lest you die. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations,  
10 that you may adistinguish between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean,  
11 aand that you may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.”  
12 And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons who were left: a“Take the grain offering that remains of the offerings made by fire to the Lord, and eat it without leaven beside the altar; bfor it is most holy.

Leviticus 10:8-11

It seems as though in certain occasions when something is just beginning that God retains His pattern, and He does something really devastating so the people get the right understanding that His holiness is not to be tested.

These verses provide a very strong hint that Nadab and Abihu were under the influence of alcohol when they committed the act of putting the strange fire to an unholy use.

Leviticus 10:8-11

The context in which this command appeared leads everybody to believe that the reason that Nadab and Abihu did what they did was because they were under the influence of a drug—alcohol—enough that they were not in as complete control as they normally would have been. Did you notice the mention of holy and unholy there?

Leviticus 10:8-11

So a physical source of energy should never be used as a substitute for the power of the Holy Spirit. This is why alcohol should not be imbibed before preaching. Some ministers in the past have been known to have done that and that was wrong to do.
