This lesson focuses on the gainsaying of Korah in Numbers 16:1-11 and covers the stature of the rebellers and God’s Judgment of them. In His Word, God spoke that in the last days, there would be an apostasy, and this lesson covers the apostasy that is occurring now in which people are going away from even the Blood of Jesus Christ as they turn away from the old Truths of Christianity and from God’s Word. When people apostatize, they must have something that is real and true from which to turn away. If they never had something, how could they turn away from it? This lesson gives the sevenfold pattern of how apostasy begins by reviewing the pattern of behavior of the men who gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron. First, in Jude 1:8-11, through the Apostle Jude, God said: (1) They were filthy dreamers, (2) They defiled the flesh, (3) They despised dominion, (4) They spoke evil of dignities, (5) They went in the way of Cain, (6) They ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and (7) They perished in the gainsaying of Core.
Then, after God had judged the rebellers, many of the children of Israel accused Moses of destroying them. Therefore, God sent a plague among them, which destroyed thousands. This lesson shows Moses’ humility in his falling on his face and begging God to have mercy upon the children of Israel and to stay that plague, which proves that God’s Word cannot be in someone unless that person has a measure of God’s Mercy and Humility because God’s Word works those attributes in us as it comes into us. God wants to take out of us the gainsaying of Korah, and all of us have a little more room to die to strife and to rebellion. This lesson calls us to examine ourselves, to humble ourselves, to repent, and to believe God to finish the good work that He has begun in us.
