A smoking fire pot and a flaming torch appeared, which passed between these animal parts. This isn’t really hard to interpret, because a smoking fire pot speaks of suffering, like an oven. Might this be likened to the ovens that the Jews were thrown into during World War II? Nobody has been more persecuted than the Jews, and the fire pot represents suffering. We also see a flaming torch. What is that? A flaming torch is a light-bearer. God was saying that this nation, Israel, was going to suffer, but He was also saying that she would be a bearer of light.
