There are some who connect Leviticus 16 with the "Coals of fire" concept, but this seems to be strictly a personal opinion and not validated by scripture.
Well, the interpretation that I posted in the NLT doesn't really go in sync with verses 19 and 21. So, I can't really accept the NLT's interpretation of that scripture.

I remember once I saw TD Jakes preach about "They that wait upon the Lord". He had a towel over his arm and talked about serving. "They that wait" as in "They that serve". It was incredible. I cried. What a marvelous understanding it was!!!

Only thing was, the next day, I looked it up and found out the word "Wait" didn't mean "To serve" at all. It meant to "wait patiently and endure."
Had someone preach that at a church I attended. I thought it was cool, looked it up and - NOPE - it doesn't mean that.

We had an evangelist come through and he preached a message about David in I Samuel 21:13. He said he was worshiping so much the people thought he was mad and that he was spitting on his beard. LOL! I was thinking, "Uh, that is not what the scripture is saying." He was really getting into the message about sincere worship and some were responding. LOL! I mean, read the passage. LOL!

Some of these opinions seem beautiful and eloquent. But it's not always true. Sometimes we have to do what Timmy says....take it for what it says.
I agree. Some things do sound really awesome - IF - they actually meant what is being taught.

As for Timmy, hmmmm...., I'll have to read his posts, on each point, before I agree or disagree. LOL!
