THE CONSEQUENCE OF REBELLION AGAINST GOD.
“It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Heb. 10:31 NIV)
“Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and certain Reubenites—Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—became insolent and rose up against Moses. With them were 250 Israelite men, well-known community leaders who had been appointed members of the council. They came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron and said to them, “You have gone too far! The whole community is holy, every one of them, and the Lord is with them. Why then do you set yourselves above the Lord’s assembly?” (Numb. 16:1-3 NIV)
During Israel's wilderness wanderings the time came that Moses needed help in governing this great congregation. As a result, seventy elders were appointed to help Moses bear the burden of the people (Numbers 11:11-17). It was at approximately this same period of time that the Lord gave Moses the names of the men who were to be captains of the tribes of Israel (Numbers 1:5-15). Korah, Dathan, and Abiram were not included in either of these groups of rulers.
They became envious of the authority God had given Moses and Aaron (Psalm 106:16). They planned to use the congregation as a basis for the overthrow of Moses; but their argument, "seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them," was entirely without foundation. It is true that God had called Israel to be a kingdom of priests and a peculiar treasure, but they had fallen far short of that calling. These rebels accused Moses and Aaron of taking too much upon themselves, BUT FORGOT THAT IT WAS GOD WHO RULED THE CAMP OF ISRAEL. Moses and Aaron were His servants and did all things at His command.
There accusation goes straight into God’s warning “Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.” (Psa. 105:15 NIV) The result; at Moses command, the earth opened and swallowed all the rebellious men and their families alive (Numb. 16:28-34)
It is true that there are so many false ‘men and women of God’. It is also true that there are men and women in the church who appear as light but full of darkness. Avoid murmuring (1 Cor. 10:10), avoid stepping into God’s role. Be sure you are on God’s side.
THE WORD: "Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish." (Luk.13.2-3.NIV)
