Strange
Exo 30:9 (c) This peculiar perfume describes natural human sweetness. Many will use beautiful phrases, precious expressions, delightful words, in all of which there is no GOD, no Holy Spirit no revelation from Heaven. Two great religions use this method of deceiving the people; false leaders frequently take honeyed expressions as a means of attracting the unwary and the untaught souls. (See under “HONEY”).
Lev 10:1 (c) There are many strange things mentioned in the Scriptures. This one refers to human efforts, human plans and human expedients in the service of our Lord. Perspiration is not inspiration. Excitement, gestures and noise cannot and do not become a substitute for the indescribable and indispensable work of the Holy Spirit. All of these human activities are represented by the term “strange fire.” (See Num 3:4; Num 26:61).
2Ki 19:24 (b) The King of Assyria is boasting of the fact that he had satisfied all his desires by ravaging and robbing other nations, and obtaining their possessions.
Isa 28:21 (a) GOD is a GOD of mercy and grace, but He is also a GOD of wrath and judgment. He is telling us here that the pouring out of His wrath is not a thing that He loves to do. It is not a thing that He plans to do, but rather to show mercy and to save the soul. When the individual or the nation refuses Him, then He must do that which He calls “His strange work.”
Jer 2:21 (b) Israel should have been a fruitful vine. producing rich blessing for GOD, glorifying His name, and making glad His heart. Instead of that they produced idolatry, evil and sinful products which were a terrible offense to GOD.
