Mussar sobre Levítico 9:24

That is why it is written (Leviticus 6:6), "A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar." Our Rabbis said (see Taanit 27b) [that] were it not for the daily (lit., perpetual) sacrifices, the Earth and Heavens would not survive. And the people of the representation would read from the story of Creation [at the time of the sacrifice], since the end of the Creation story is for the sake of His glory and His service, may He be blessed. And there is survival to the story of Creation with this; so they are perpetual and do not end. And it has already been explained that the whole story of Creation was subsumed in fire; and that is, "A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar." That is to say, the fire causes the continuation of the survival of existence; on account of their doing the service of God, may He be blessed, which causes the survival of existence that came about through fire. And then it arouses the fire in the Heavens (Leviticus 9:24): "A fire came forth from before the Lord and consumed what was on the altar; the burnt-offering, etc."
