What Is Korah's Rebellion?

Improved Essays
Before I speak the Words of God, His warning to a certain church within the Body of Christ, let me remind the people, God’s admonishment against the Israelites leaders when they choose to go against God’s true prophets.
At Numbers 16, we can read about the account of Korah’s rebellion against God’s true servants—Moses and Aaron. Korah was not the first that rebelled against God’s divine selection. Nor is Korah and his followers the last. But, what is interesting about Korah’s rebellion is that more than 250 prominent community leaders assembled against Moses and Aaron. That is no small rebellion against God’s anointed. These 250 plus men felt that “the whole community of Israel has been set apart by the LORD”. That God was “with all” of them.

    The American Revolution certainly is a breathtaking era in God’s unfolding story. Friction between England and its colonies emerged most notably after the Seven Years' War. Before the war, the British government had undertaken minimal contact with or interference in the internal affairs of their settlements, aside from passing the Navigation acts that dictated the shipment of goods(Marston, 2003). However, the price of war racked up a hefty debt that made the country see an error in their previous policy. Not only did the regular cost of warfare take a toll on Britain's resources, but also the need to heed a collection of soldiers in the colonies.…

    Rev. Franklin Graham has been voicing out against U.S. President Barack Obama’s order to give transgender access to public school restrooms, but now he has upped the heat in the LGBT debate by urging his followers to be willing to be martyred for their “intolerant” beliefs. In a Facebook message posted on Sunday, Rev. Franklin Graham asked his followers about the things or principles that they would be willing to take a bullet for. Citing the biblical story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego who chose to be thrown into a fiery furnace rather than bow down before King Nebuchadnezzar’s idol, the evangelist said Christians should be willing to martyr themselves or subject themselves to God’s wrath, Raw Story relays. “What would you take a bullet for?”…

    In chapter eight B, Wright wrote “it should be abundantly clear by now that the mission of God’s people in the Bible is to be the people who God created us to be and to do the things that God calls us to do. (pg 149) I completely agree with this point, but it is far more simplistic to read this statement than it is to live it out. All throughout the Bible, Gods chosen people are questioning who they are, if they are qualified, and if they are effective. For example, looking at the story of Moses in Exodus 3:11, Moses responded to Gods call on his life by saying “‘Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Children of Israel out of Egypt?’” (English Standard Version).…

    Acts 5:3 “But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?” The Holy Spirit must have revealed to Peter that Ananias was lying, therefore he asked him why he lied. I have heard it said that Ananias would not have been asked this question if he was a lost sinner, as Peter would have known that it is the way of the ungodly to not tell the truth. I find it at least reasonable to believe he was saved but Satan filled his heart to lie.…

    With laborious work that strained their bodies as well as their mind, it is no surprise that slaves held thoughts regarding separation between them and their slave masters. Of course, what does come, as a surprise is the fact that Angolan slaves residing in the British Colony of South Carolina in 1739 were able to construct a revolt that resulted in a reformation that more tightly regulated the gathering of slaves. The revolt, known as the Stono Rebellion, was constructed in pursuit of rule under the Spanish Empire. In the document “Account of the Negroe Insurrection in South Carolina”, the Peter Oglethorpe specifies that a group of slaves that were from the Kingdom of Angola in Africa spoke “Portugueze” (Portuguese), additionally noting, “It…

    Furthermore, the topic of ‘planning and budgeting’ can be compared to the story of Moses and the Second Census of Israel in The Book of Numbers, Chapter 26:1-7. The story states that “the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saying, Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers’ house, all that are able to go to war in Israel…and they that were numbered were forty and three thousand and seven hundred and thirty” (2009, pp. 256-257). Both the story and topic involve the aspect of a higher power providing a goal for their subordinates, in a manner of speaking, to achieve. Ultimately, the outcome is dependent on how the subordinates would…

    In this essay I am going to argue how the Puritans were selfish. They were selfish because they cared about themselves only and wanted to be best known of what they are. For example in Document B the author states “The eyes of all people are upon us” it explains how they only cared about how people’s eyes were only apon them. Puritans wanted to improve and become bigger people so everyone could see their improvement in being creative.…

    In the book of Judges it is evident that Israel’s constant disobedience in the eyes of God has led them in a downward spiral in history. As Israel goes deeper into rebellion and chaos, the cycle of rebellion remains and the judges themselves deteriorate. In the prologue of the book of Judges there is a recurring cycle of apostasy, oppression, penitence, and deliverance. The judges were all endowed by God to lead His people, but they were not always leaders of ideal character. In chapter one the Israelites fail to keep the covenant with God.…

    In the book of Exodus, God is the essential worker. The nature and intent of that divine work set the agenda for Moses’ work and through him, the work of God’s people. God’s initial call to Moses included an explanation of God’s work. This drove Moses to speak in the name of the Lord to Pharaoh saying, “Let my people go” (Exod. 5:1). Pharaoh’s rebuttal was not merely verbal; he oppressed the Israelites more harshly than before.…

In my previous research of Luke, I concluded that Luke was written sometime between A.D. 58-62. In following with the traditional belief that the book of Acts was written as a sequel to Luke, it would place the writing sometime between A.D. 62-64.…
