We have seen how principalities and powers are represented as animals. There are also unclean and clean animals. Vile powers and powers that glorify God.
These powers are all spiritual beings of a high order - principalitit's equal to areas of influence.
Taking all this into consideration, now see the symbolism of sacrificing an animal, and giving it to God through fire. Fire is a purifier. God is the consuming fire that purifies.
Only clean animals were offered - good powers. Undefiled powers that are free of corruption from the darkness of the earth. By giving them, the worshipers were symbolically tapping into the realm of the principality of their sacrifice - peace, joy, thanks giving, powerful realms in the presence of God. Tapping into the realms and using that power to reach a place of spiritual worship!
