MELT MY ♥ Daily Dose - Numbers 16:42 #GodsTiming #TheOpportunityofGod

                  Daily Dose ♥  Numbers 16:42  (NKJ)

42 Now it happened, when the congregation had gathered against Moses and Aaron, that they turned toward the tabernacle of meeting; and suddenly the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.

I claim it in Jesus name.  Remember Obedience,  obedience, obedience ...Oh if only it can be that easy in todays society but hey we have to adhere to the words and will of God and not try to "bend" or adjust things to fit our selfishness.  God's wrath on disobedience can be lethal.  If we Obey& Endure with patience, it may be HARD but as Christians whatever the battle or challenge we may be facing God always has a plan or lesson for us.  We just have to LISTEN, pay attention to what he may be saying, perservere and believe that things must get better.   Let's hang in there:-)  The test will soon be over.  Additionally whatever opposition you may be facing as long as you serve a living God no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

NUMBERS CHAPTER 16 SUMMARY

Rebels With A Pretty Good Cause

• Korah (a Levite), Dathan and Abiram (guys from Reuben's tribe), and 250 other men from the community confront Moses and Aaron one day. #rebellion
• They want to know what makes Moses and Aaron so special. After all, aren't all the Israelites God's holy, chosen people? Why do only Moses and Aaron get to be in charge? 
• Moses tells Korah that God will sort all this out for them. 
• He tells Korah and his fellow complainers to take incense and offer it to God tomorrow. If God thinks they're worthy to approach the tabernacle, then he'll let everyone know. If not, then he'll probably strike them dead on the spot. 
• The next day, all the naysayers take their incense and stand at the entrance to the tabernacle. Suddenly, "the glory of the Lord" appears to everyone. Oh!
• God tells Moses and Aaron to stand aside. He's gonna smite these evildoers once and for all. Oh, no!
• Moses and Aaron realize that God plans to kill off everyone in the community, so they beg him not to hold everyone responsible for a few bad apples.
• Okay, fine, God says. But I'm seriously gonna bring down my wrath on Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, so everyone else better back up.
• Just then, the ground splits open and those three guys, their wives, children, and homes all sink down into Sheol 
• Meanwhile, God burns up the 250 men with their little incense offerings. But all is not lost. God tells Moses to get Eleazar to take their bronze censers (the small trays that held the incense) and pound them into plates to cover the altar. This should serve as a little reminder to the people that only Aaron and sons can approach the altar. 
• The next day, everyone is still in chaos. And they blame Moses and Aaron for killing these 253 rebels (plus innocent women and children). 
• God is annoyed, so he starts a plague.
• Moses thinks quick and tells Aaron to perform a ritual with incense to atone for the sins of the people. Hurry!
• The plague stops, but not before 14,700 people had died. It is not shaping up to be a good couple of days for Israel.
