Note sull'episodio
By Pastor Jason Lim
Korah (and gang), then Israel, grumbled against Moses & Aaron. This is because they despised the Lord.
Swift judgment was executed- in an earthquake, fire from the heavens and a plague. All in all, close to 15000 people died.
And to make sure they do not repeat this same defiance, 2 signs or objects were given to memorialise this tragedy.
1. Grip of sin
Israel is intractably sinful. They just kept sinning. Despite many punishments, and even pardons of mercy, they can not change. They are a picture of you and me- we are all stricken with an intractable disease called sin.
2. Gravity of sin
God judged all sin in Israel. And ours will be too. Eternal torment in hell awaits unrepentant sinners.
3. Grace for sin
Atonement ...
