In Jude 1:11 KJV, Jude speaks of those who “perished in the gainsaying of Core<\/strong>,” making direct reference to Korah’s rebellion in Numbers 16-17. He was the individual who not only stirred up some of the princes of the congregation, adversely affecting the tribe of Reuben (Numbers 16:1), but he became a rallying point for all the disgruntled who found fault with Moses and Aaron.<\/p>\n

Korah maintained that Moses and Aaron had taken more on themselves than God had intended, accusing Moses and Aaron of lifting themselves up above the assembly (Numbers 16:3). God’s intention was that there be fraternity and equality among His people (Numbers 15:37-41). Korah seemed blinded to the fact that should he occupy their place, his accusation would also condemn him. Korah was definitely a rebel without a cause, an instigator of insurrection among God’s people.<\/p>\n

Because Moses was a meek man (Numbers 12:3), he was grieved with Korah’s accusation (Numbers 16:4). He proposed that God be allowed to show His choice of who was obedient and holy through the offering of incense with brazen censers (Numbers 16:16-18).<\/p>\n

To express His displeasure with the rebellion, God opened the earth and swallowed up the rebels (Numbers 16:28-33). Two hundred and fifty others were consumed by fire (Numbers 16:35). The unique form of God’s displeasure was designed to make an impression on the people (Numbers 16:41-50).<\/p>\n

God then proposed that twelve rods with names inscribed on them representing each of the twelve tribes be laid in the tent of meeting (Numbers 17:1-4). He told Moses, “And it shall come to pass that the man’s rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you<\/strong>” (Numbers 17:5).<\/p>\n

The next day, Aaron’s rod not only had budded but also had produced blossoms and bore ripe almonds (Numbers 17:8). Never again would there arise a question about God’s choice of leadership and service in His temple (Numbers 17:10).<\/p>\n

What main lesson can we learn from the life of Korah? <\/strong><\/p>\n

That God will not tolerate rebellion!<\/strong> (cf. 1 Samuel 15:23).<\/p>\n

When Jesus returns, rebellious and disobedient individuals will be “punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power<\/strong>” (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10).<\/p>\n
