“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Hebrews 3: 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah 

We, the bride, the church should worship the name of the Lord with godly fear so that we do not get down into hell.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we, the bride, the church should be careful not to cause separation in the churches for any reason. And we meditated that those who cause in this manner belong to the flesh and God is not pleased with them and such kind of people will not enter the kingdom of God.

Next, what we are meditating is Numbers 16: 11 – 16 Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against the Lord. And what is Aaron that you complain against him?”

And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come up! 

Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you should keep acting like a prince over us? 

Moreover you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up!”

Then Moses was very angry, and said to the Lord, “Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, nor have I hurt one of them.”

And Moses said to Korah, “Tomorrow, you and all your company be present before the Lord—you and they, as well as Aaron.

When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses because the children of Israel gathered together against Moses and Aaron, Moses tells them that you have gathered together against the Lord and what is Aaron that you complain against him? After saying in this manner, he called Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab. But they said, “We will not come up! Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you should keep acting like a prince over us? And we see that they speak these words of slander looking at Moses.

Also, they are talking that Egypt is the land flowing with milk and honey and they told Moses that you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up and they are telling in this manner.

In this manner, Dathan and Abiram and the congregation of Korah were deceived by the enemy and God is showing this as a pattern. Then Moses was very angry. Therefore, he said to the Lord, “Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, nor have I hurt one of them.” Then, Moses looked at Korah and said that tomorrow you and all your company and Aaron come to the presence of the Lord as mentioned in Numbers 16: 17 Let each take his censer and put incense in it, and each of you bring his censer before the Lord, two hundred and fifty censers; both you and Aaron, each with his censer.

Everyone came and stood there according to Numbers 16: 18 So every man took his censer, put fire in it, laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the tabernacle of meeting with Moses and Aaron. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation. Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.” Then they fell on their faces, and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and You be angry with all the congregation?”

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’” Then Moses rose and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. And Moses warned the congregation saying, “Depart now from the tents of these wicked men! Touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.” So, they all got away and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, their sons, and their little children.

And Moses said: “By this you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own will and he said that if the Lord creates a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the pit, then you will understand that these men have rejected the Lord and as he finished speaking these words, that the ground split apart under them.

Also, Numbers 16: 32 – 34 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men with Korah, with all their goods. 

So, they and all those with them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly. 

Then all Israel who were around them fled at their cry, for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up also!”

According to the above-mentioned verses it happened, and a fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering incense. My dear people, according to what is mentioned above, if we murmur against God, the Lord will submit us and everything that belongs to us to be swallowed by hell.

Therefore, we must always safeguard and keep our soul and should love the Lord with our whole mind. Let us submit in this manner.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
