KORAH
AND HIS COMPANY
Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the
son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son
of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took [men]: And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the
children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the
congregation, men of renown: And they gathered themselves together against Moses and
against Aaron, and said unto them, [Ye take] too much upon you, seeing all the
congregation [are] holy, every one of them, and the LORD [is] among them: wherefore then
lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD? - Numbers 16:1-3
Korah and his company attacked God's deputy authority (Num. 16:1-3). Any
attack against God's authority, whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, has its origin
in the mind. The principle is the same in the church today. You may attack the leaders
because you feel they have "taken too much upon themselves," but your attack,
which has its source in the m ind, brings you spiritual death. Korah and his company
suffered the destruction of death due to their attack upon God's authority. You may
consider that you are right in attacking the leaders in the church, but you must examine
the result-death or life? If you are truly right, the result of your attack must be life.
I can testify to you, however, that in the past I saw several attacks against the
leadership in the church and that every one of those attacks brought in the destruction of
death to the attackers. This is serious!
You must ask yourself, "Does my attack proceed
out of the spirit, out of the throne of God, or does it come from my mind?" Attack
against God's deputy authority, regardless of the reason, is on the line of knowledge that
brings in death.
The attack of Korah and his company was due to the fact that they
neglected the presence of God (Num. 16:19). If they had taken care of the presence of God,
they would have been rescued from their attack against Moses and Aaron. They would have
been turned from the line of knowledge to the line of life.
