Introduction
Numbers 15:37-40
•
Commands not only in our minds, but to do them
•
We can’t keep the law, we need His grace
•
Inclination to harlotry is from the flesh (harlotry = false doctrine - Rev.
18:3,6; 19:2)
Romans 8:28-30
•
The purpose of following God is that we may be holy
•
His plan/purpose, not ours - to become like Christ
1 John 3:2
•
This is when that which concerns us will become as it should be - as
Christ, as we were before the fall
•
It is a choice, to love Him or not; obedience comes from love
1 Corinthians 10:1-33, 11:1
•
We must keep in mind that the gospel was given to the Israelites
•
Without faith, it is impossible to please Him (Heb.
11:16)
•
He did not ask them to obey without demonstrating that He is God
•
These were written for our admonition.
How can we know what
happened if we don’t open the Old Testament?
(Admonition = Instruction)
•
If you think you have arrived, look the the example of those who fell
•
The assumption is that you are His and want to obey Him
•
Will He give a way out when you rebel?
•
Observe Israel - their flesh got trained to miss everything they had in
the past
•
Change doesn’t come without suffering - it will ruffle your feathers
•
Admonition is so that you learn not to have fellowship with demons
•
There is mutual exclusivity concerning fellowship with demons or with
Christ - you can’t have both
•
Imitating Christ - He was an observant Jew
We see that there are two possibilities, two possible responses, two possible
outcomes - we will be righteous or unrighteous, have fellowship with light or
darkness, enter into life or death.
Today’s Reading
Numbers 16:1
•
Moses and Aaron were also from Levi - they were related to Korah (Ex.
6:16-22)
•
Sons of Reuben also rebelled - Reuben uncovered his father’s
nakedness (Gen.
35:22)
•
“Men of renown” - men who have a name
Genesis 6:1-4
•
It is the flesh that gets in the way (Numbers 15:39)
•
Men of renown - also known as Nephilim
•
There is a correlation between the flesh wanting to be known above God
and man establishing a name for himself
Numbers 16:3
•
“Exalting yourselves” - reveals covetousness, judgement, accusation
Genesis 10:5
•
There is a clear separation of the Gentiles
•
Nimrod - means rebellion - was a man of renown
Genesis 11:1-9
•
“Let us make a name for ourselves”
•
The one who establishes you is the Lord; He provides the anointing,
covering, provision, etc.
•
The separation of peoples/languages comes from God’s response to
flesh attempting to exalt itself
Genesis 3:1-6
•
From questioning to openly opposing and the promise of eyes being
opened
•
Things begin with our perception, the way we see life (1 Jn. 2:15-17)
Numbers 12:1 - Gossiping
Numbers 13:31-33 - Judging/Complaining
Numbers 14:2-4, 22 - Rebellion
Numbers 16:3-5
•
Victim mentality - “You’re the lead, we’re the victims”
•
Moses is allowing the Lord to decide what to do with Korah and the
others
1 Corinthians 11:11, 3, 15
•
A woman’s hair is her glory, and represents her covering
•
Mary gives Jesus glory - anointing with oil (Jn.
12:1-3)
Numbers 16:1-3
•
The rebellious are trying to lift themselves up
Deuteronomy 14:1-2
•
Korah and followers are removing their covering
•
If you are holy, why are you removing yourself from the covering?
•
If Korah knows this, what was his need to be above Moses and Aaron?
•
What drives the desire to be above is how you see yourself
•
External/Internal Locus of Control - Jesus addresses this in the Olivet
Discourse (Matt.
5:27-30)
Numbers 16:4
•
Moses is a man of authority, yet chooses not to exercise it against the
rebellious
Numbers 16:5
•
Moses was able to let God be God because he was humble (Numbers
12:3)
2 Samuel 6:20-22
•
David was humble in his own sight - God chose him and appointed him
1 Samuel 15:17-24
•
Saul was little in his own eyes - the fear of man drove him to
disobedience
•
The way God sees you is the most important thing
•
Willfully disobeying God is rebellion = witchcraft/idolatry (1 Cor.
10:14-22)
•
When we sin, it is against the Lord
Numbers 16:28
•
Moses did not seek his own will, but the glory of God
