CAUTION! THE DANGER OF REBELLION...
EVERY HUMAN BEING HAS TO WATCH HIS HEART SO THAT HE DOES NOT GIVE INTO ENVY, PRIDE AND OTHER HARMFUL FEELINGS, WHICH WILL GIVE BREAKS, OPENINGS FOR SATAN TO ENTER THE SINKING HEARTS AND DESTROY THEIR LIVES.
LIKE THE PASSAGE BELOW FROM NUMBERS 16: MOSES WAS CHOSEN BY THE ETERNAL FROM THE WOMB. MOSES WAS PROTECTED BY HIS PARENTS AND PUT IN A BASKET ON THE RIVER NILE. THE ETERNAL LEADED HIM TO THE DAUGHTER OF PHARAOH, HE WAS CREATED AS AN EGYPTIAN PRINCE AND PREPARED FOR YEARS, TO FULFILL THE PURPOSE OF RELEASING THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL FROM EGYPTIAN SLAVERY. HOWEVER, ALTHOUGH KORA, DATAN AND ABIRAM ARE HEBREW. EVEN HAVING SEEN ALL THE PLAGUES THAT WERE SPILLED IN EGYPT AND EGYPTIANS. EVEN WATCHING THE RED SEA OPEN AND WALKING ON DRY FEET. EVEN BEFORE SO MANY MIRACLES: BITTER WATER GETS SWEET, BREAD FALLS FROM THE SKY, QUAILS FALL INTO THE CAMP, WATER BLOWS OUT OF THE ROCK, MINORITY VICTORY OVER ENEMY PEOPLE, A PILLAR OF SMOKE DURING THE DAY AND A PILLAR OF FIRE DURING THE NIGHT. , AFTER THE TABERNACLE ASSEMBLED. THOUGH THEY HAD THE PRESENCE OF THE ETERNAL CREATOR IN THE MIDST OF THEM, THEY ENVYED MOSES AND AARON. THEY NO LONGER WANT TO BE GOVERNED BY MOSES. THEY FEEL BETTER THAN THEM, SUPERIOR. “We are also men of God”. LET US WATCH AT ALL TIMES THAT WE DO NOT FALL INTO SUCH TRANSGRESSION! FOR YOUR END IS DEATH!!! AND THE WORST, THE SEPARATION FROM THE ETERNAL CREATOR!
Numbers 16:1-50
1 And Korah the son of Izar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, took with him Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben.
2 And they rose up before Moses with two hundred and fifty men of the children of Israel, princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of rank,
3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, It is enough for you: for the whole congregation is holy, all are holy, and the LORD is in the midst of them; why then do you exalt yourselves above the congregation of the Lord?
4 When Moses heard this, he fell on his face.
5 And he spake to Korah and to all his congregation, saying, Tomorrow morning the Lord will make known who is his, and who is the holy one that he will bring to him; and he whom he chooses will bring to himself.
6 This do: Take ye censers, Korah, and all his company;
7 And put fire in them to-morrow, put incense on them before the LORD; and it shall be that the man whom the Lord chooses, he shall be the holy one; enough for you, sons of Levi.
8 And Moses said to Korah, Hear now, ye sons of Levi:
9 Is it too little for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, and to minister to the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;
10 And he brought you near, and all your brethren, the sons of Levi, with you? are you still seeking the priesthood?
11 So you and all your company are against the LORD; and Aaron, who is he that you murmur against him?
12 And Moses sent and called for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, We will not go up;
13 Is it a little thing that you brought us up from a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in this wilderness, but do you want to make yourself a prince over us?
14 Neither hast thou brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us fields and vineyards for an inheritance; wilt thou gouge out the eyes of these men? We will not go up.
15 Then Moses was very angry, and said to the Lord, Do not consider his offering; I did not take a single donkey from them, nor did I harm any of them.
16 And Moses said to Korah, You and all your company, stand before the LORD, you and they, and Aaron tomorrow.
17 And each one take his censer, and put incense therein; and bring every man his censer before the LORD, two hundred and fifty censers; you and Aaron, each his censer.
18 So they took every man his censer, and put fire on it, and put incense on it, and stood before the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
19 And Korah gathered all the people against them at the door of the tent of meeting; then the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.
20 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
21 Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them in a moment.
22 But they fell on their faces, and said, O God, God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be angry with all this congregation?
23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak to all this congregation, saying, I came up from around the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
25 Then Moses arose, and went to Dathan and Abiram; and after him followed the elders of Israel.
26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Turn away, I pray you, from the tents of these ungodly men, and touch nothing that is theirs, lest ye perish in all their sins.
27 So they went up from around the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. And Dathan and Abiram went out, and stood at the door of their tents, together with their wives, and their children, and their children.
28 And Moses said, By this ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these deeds, which proceed not out of my heart.
29 If these die as all men die, and if they are visited as all men are visited, then the Lord has not sent me.
30 But if the LORD creates anything new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that is theirs, and they go down alive into the abyss, then you will know that these men have angered the LORD.
31 And it came to pass, when he had finished speaking all these words, that the earth that was under them split apart.
32 And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up with their houses, and all the men that belonged to Korah, and all their possessions.
33 And they and all that were theirs went down alive into the abyss, and the earth covered them, and they perished from the midst of the congregation.
34 And all Israel that was round about them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
35 Then fire came out from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
36 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
37 Tell Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take the censers from the midst of the fire, and spread the fire far away, for they are holy;
38 As for the censers of those who have sinned against their souls, let them make spread leaves for the covering of the altar; because they brought them before the Lord; for what saints are; and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel.
39 And Eleazar the priest took the brass censers, which brought those that were burned, and spread them out in leaves for the covering of the altar,
40 As a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger, who is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to burn incense before the LORD; lest he be like Korah and his congregation, as the LORD had spoken to him through Moses,
41 But the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of the LORD.
42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and they turned towards the tent of meeting, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.
43 So Moses and Aaron came before the tent of meeting.
44 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
45 Rise up from the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them in a moment; then they fell on their faces,
46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take thy censer, and put fire therein from the altar, and put incense on it, and go quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; because great indignation went out from before the Lord; the plague has already started.
47 And Aaron took it, as Moses had spoken, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague had already begun among the people; and put incense therein, and made atonement for the people.
48 And he was standing between the dead and the living; and he ceased the plague.
49 And those who died of that plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, apart from those who died for the cause of Korah.
50 And Aaron returned to Moses at the door of the tent of meeting; and the plague ceased.
