Numbers 16:8-14 Stirring the Pot!

 8Moses also said to Korah, “Now listen, you sons of Levi! 9Is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel and brought you near to Himself to perform the work at the LORD’s tabernacle, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them? 10He has brought you near, you and all your fellow Levites, but you are seeking the priesthood as well. 11Therefore, it is you and all your followers who have conspired against the LORD! As for Aaron, who is he that you should grumble against him?”

12Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, but they said, “We will not come! 13Is it not enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness? Must you also appoint yourself as ruler over us? 14Moreover, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? No, we will not come!”

Stirring the pot. 

All it takes is one person to upset the whole apple 🍎 cart! 

For the last five months my wife had trouble at work. No one who tell her what she supposedly did and her supervisor would only say there was nothing specific that was said. She was written up for communication issues but no examples were given. She was targeted but then they got a new general manager. Long story short, the plot was revealed. The Lord turned their words and actions back around on them! 

It was one person who created a hornets nest and the supervisors and assistant managers fell in line like the pied piper! What will happen to this “one person” and the supervisors and assistant managers? Time will tell.

What will happen to Korah and his allies? Stay tuned!

Have you ever been responsible for stirring the pot?

Sodom and Gomorrah, Sinning with a HighHand?

Genesis 18: 20Then the LORD said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great. Because their sin is so grievous,

Genesis 19  24Then the LORD rained down sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. 25Thus He destroyed these cities and the entire plain, including all the inhabitants of the cities and everything that grew on the ground.

Their sins were sodomy and not helping the poor and needy.

Ezekiel 16: 49Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed, and complacent; they did not help the poor and needy. 50Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them, as you have seen.

Leviticus 18: 22You must not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination.

Jude 1: 7In like manner, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, who indulged in sexual immorality and pursued strange flesh, are on display as an example of those who sustain the punishment of eternal fire.

Sinning with a High Hand.

“Literally, to sin defiantly (presumptuously) means to sin “with a high hand.” It speaks of a flagrant rebellion against God, the law of Moses, and the nation as a whole.” (Guzik)

Today while watching television, a commercial aired for a credit company featuring a gay interracial couple with two children and at the end of the commercial the gay couple were in bed together. 

When a business produces a commercial that is antagonistic to biblical truth and biblical conviction are they Sinning with a high hand? 

Are you prepared to stand against the tide or will you drift with it?

What About Enoch. Jude 1:14-16

 I found this in gotquestionsdotorg and found it very interesting: 

The Book of Enoch is any of several pseudepigraphal (falsely attributed works, texts whose claimed authorship is unfounded) works that attribute themselves to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah; that is, Enoch son of Jared (Genesis 5:18). Enoch is also one of the two people in the Bible taken up to heaven without dying (the other being Elijah), as the Bible says "And Enoch walked with God, and he was not; for God took him." (Genesis 5:24; see also Hebrews 11:5). Most commonly, the phrase "Book of Enoch" refers to 1 Enoch, which is wholly extant only in the Ethiopic language.

The biblical book of Jude quotes from the Book of Enoch in verses 14-15, “Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: ‘See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.’” But this does not mean the Book of Enoch is inspired by God and should be in the Bible.

Jude’s quote is not the only quote in the Bible from a non-biblical source. The Apostle Paul quotes Epimenides in Titus 1:12 but that does not mean we should give any additional authority to Epimenides’ writings. The same is true with Jude, verses 14-15. Jude quoting from the book of Enoch does not indicate the entire Book of Enoch is inspired, or even true. All it means is that particular verse is true. It is interesting to note that no scholars believe the Book of Enoch to have truly been written by the Enoch in the Bible. Enoch was seven generations from Adam, prior to the Flood (Genesis 5:1-24). Evidently, though, this was genuinely something that Enoch prophesied—or the Bible would not attribute it to him, “Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men” (Jude 1:14). This saying of Enoch was evidently handed down by tradition, and eventually recorded in the Book of Enoch.

We should treat the Book of Enoch (and the other books like it) in the same manner we do the other Apocryphal writings. Some of what the Apocrypha says is true and correct, but at the same time, much of it is false and historically inaccurate. If you read these books, you have to treat them as interesting but fallible historical documents, not as the inspired, authoritative Word of God.

Jude 1:14-16

14Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them:

“Behold, the Lord is coming

with myriads of His holy ones

15to execute judgment on everyone,

and to convict all the ungodly

of every ungodly act of wickedness

and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.”

16These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage.

Numbers 16:4-7 Facedown

 4When Moses heard this, he fell facedown. 5Then he said to Korah and all his followers, “Tomorrow morning the LORD will reveal who belongs to Himb and who is holy, and He will bring that person near to Himself. The one He chooses, He will bring near to Himself. 6You, Korah, and all your followers are to do as follows: Take censers, 7and tomorrow you are to place fire and incense in them in the presence of the LORD. Then the man the LORD chooses will be the one who is holy. It is you sons of Levi who have taken too much upon yourselves!”

Facedown 

The first thing Moses did was humble himself by falling facedown.

Korah was wrong the way he questioned Moses and he started a rebellion within the Levites against Moses.

When we are troubled and broken we should follow Moses example and fall facedown before the Lord in prayer because it demonstrates humility and reverence towards the Lord. Whom do you think the Lord will choose, a humble or an arrogant man?

Have you ever fallen facedown before the Lord?

Numbers 16:1-3 Rebellion

 1Now Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath son of Levi, along with some Reubenites—Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—conducted 2a rebellion against Moses, along with 250 men of Israel renowned as leaders of the congregation and representatives in the assembly. 3They came together against Moses and Aaron and told them, “You have taken too much upon yourselves! For everyone in the entire congregation is holy, and the LORD is in their midst. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?”

Rebellion 

This isn’t good! What will the Lord do? Will the rebellion succeed or fail?

Recently at my wife’s work an employee had led a rebellion of sorts. My wife had performed an unfavorable observation on her. The employee was spreading negative gossip and complaining to management, but no one bothered to ask my wife her side or even inform her of the allegations made against her. Then they got a new manager and a new way of seeing things. The manager peeled back the layers of the onion and discovered who was leading the rebellion. So far the employee has been talked to three times for gossiping and driving down morale. The sad part is, management and supervisors fell for it, didn’t follow S.O.P. and my wife was put through Hades for four months!

But the Lord was good because He answered prayer, the rebellion failed and the people involved didn’t repent so He turned their words and actions back around on them!

Have you ever led a rebellion, did it succeed or fail?

Psalm 23

 In the ER with my wife so I thought this Psalm would be appropriate.

Blessings 

A Psalm of David. 

1The LORD is my shepherd;a

I shall not want.

2He makes me lie down in green pastures; 

He leads me beside quiet waters.

3He restores my soul; 

He guides me in the paths of righteousness 

for the sake of His name.

4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,b

I will fear no evil, 

for You are with me; 

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5You prepare a table before me 

in the presence of my enemies. 

You anoint my head with oil; 

my cup overflows.

6Surely goodness and mercy will follow me 

all the days of my life, 

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD 

forever.

Numbers 15:37-41 (I am His)

37Later, the LORD said to Moses, 38“Speak to the Israelites and tell them that throughout the generations to come they are to make for themselves tassels for the corners of their garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. 39These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the commandments of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by following your own heart and your own eyes.

40Then you will remember and obey all My commandments, and you will be holy to your God. 41I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.”

I am His

Perhaps a blue thread was commanded because the ark of the covenant was covered with a blue cloth, blue curtains adorned the tabernacle, and blue was in the high priest’s garments. The color blue was full of holy reminders. (Guzik)

A reminder to obey His commandments, proclaiming I am His.

Jesus rebuked the religious elite.

Matthew 23:5 “Everything they do is for show. On their arms they wear extra wide prayer boxes with Scripture verses inside, and they wear robes with extra long tassels.”

 As Christians we need to be careful that we don’t abuse our clothing and jewelry to appear self-righteous like the religious elite in Jesus’s time.

Do you wear a cross ✝️ necklace to proclaim your Christianity (I am His) or to appear self-righteous?

Numbers 15:32-36 Gathering Wood 🪵

32While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. 33Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation, 34and because it had not been declared what should be done to him, they placed him in custody.

35And the LORD said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp.”

36So the whole congregation took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Gathering Wood 🪵 

We heat with wood so I can relate with the wood 🪵 gatherer. We locate dead or dying trees, cut them down, cut into rounds, split and stack in the woodshed. I’m sure we done it on the sabbath and if we were under the OT law we would have been stoned. Remember, the Pharisees wanted to put Jesus to death for healing on the sabbath!

“It seems likely that the following story of the sabbath breaker illustrates what sinning with a high hand means.” (Wenham)

Have you ever sinned with a high hand?

I’m guilty!

Blessings 

Numbers 15:30-31 Defiantly

 30But the person who sins defiantly, whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That person shall be cut off from among his people. 31He shall certainly be cut off, because he has despised the word of the LORD and broken His commandment; his guilt remains on him.”

Defiantly

“Literally, to sin defiantly (presumptuously) means to sin “with a high hand.” It speaks of a flagrant rebellion against God, the law of Moses, and the nation as a whole.” (Guzik)

I’ve been guilty of sinning defiantly growing up in my teens against my parents and the Lord. But He didn’t give up on me even though I gave up on myself. 

That’s how much He loves ❤️ us. 

When we are defiant and He continues to love ❤️ us!

Have you ever sinned defiantly?

Blessings 

Numbers 15:27-29 Atonement

 27Also, if one person sins unintentionally, he is to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering. 28And the priest shall make atonement before the LORD on behalf of the person who erred by sinning unintentionally; and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven. 29You shall have the same law for the one who acts in error, whether he is a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.

Atonement 

As we age it’s natural for us to look back on our lives and wonder, “what if” I had done this differently.

It’s the “what if’s” that the devil 👿 uses to trick us into thinking Jesus won’t forgive you for your sins. Satan uses that crack to cram a crowbar into and widen the gap between Jesus and your captive thoughts, and the devil begins to take residency in your head.

Atonement has already been made for you on the cross if you had accepted Jesus as your Lord and savior. Your sins have been wiped clean! You have been forgiven!

Jesus has unlocked your chains!

Evict Satan by saying, Satan get behind me!

Leave Satan in your past and let Jesus guide your future!

Debbie Downer Jude 1:2-13

 I worked with a lady many years ago who’s kids soccer teams were playing in a big soccer tournament. It was a major regional soccer festival and drew all the top teams in Southern Arizona, The Fort Lowell Shoot Out. It is an annual event that runs 3 days complete with parades, picnic and trophies. 2020 marked its 30 year. 

She was so excited leading up to the event. The following Monday morningwhen she came into work I excitedly asked her how the weekend went. Her reply left me wide eyed. “Oh, it was so disappointing. They came in second. I felt so bad for them because they worked so hard”. No “we had a great time”, “the kids did great”, not a positive thing to say about the entire event. I felt bad for the kids having to deal with that reaction from the parent. 

Debbie Downer:

Etymology: From the Saturday Night Live character Debbie Downer, played by Rachel Dratch 

Function: Noun 

1. a: a person who says something terribly depressing (a downer), typically only tangentially related to the present circumstance or topic of conversation, and thereby destroys the positive atmosphere. b: a statement that is charactaristic of Debbie Downer 

The pessimist sees the glass half empty, the optimist see the glass half full. The Psalmists cup overflows! Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Jude 1:12-13 NLT

12When these people eat with you in your fellowship meals commemorating the Lord’s love, they are like dangerous reefs that can shipwreck you. They are like shameless shepherds who care only for themselves. They are like clouds blowing over the land without giving any rain. They are like trees in autumn that are doubly dead, for they bear no fruit and have been pulled up by the roots. 13They are like wild waves of the sea, churning up the foam of their shameful deeds. They are like wandering stars, doomed forever to blackest darkness.

Numbers 15:25-26 Unintentionally 🔥

 25The priest is to make atonement for the whole congregation of Israel, so that they may be forgiven; for the sin was unintentional and they have brought to the LORD an offering made by fire and a sin offering, presented before the LORD for their unintentional sin. 26Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.

Unintentionally 🔥 

Thou Lord and giver of peace, make us peacemakers, and never let us aid and abet the men of strife, or even unintentionally cause the least division among Thy people.

(C H Spurgeon)

Have you ever unintentionally or intentionally offended someone? Said something that they took wrong, did something that they took offense to or intentionally started a 🔥? 

I was at the doctors recently and the nurse is asking me personal questions. Someone knocked on the door, comes in and interrupted us and took the stool that you use to get up on the examination table because she said the middle room didn’t have one. When I tried to sit up on the table it was difficult without the stool and I said to the nurse, can you tell the lady that came in here and took the stool that this room no longer has a stool? (Sarc)

Sometimes we intentionally or unintentionally offend someone because our tongue is an instrument of 🔥!

We’d be better to ask ourselves before we speak, WWJD? 

What would Jesus do?

Have you ever started a 🔥 with your tongue?

Numbers 15:22-24 Ragamuffins

 22Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses— 23all that the LORD has commanded you through Moses from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come— 24and if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the congregation, then the whole congregation is to prepare one young bull as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.

Paul and the scriptures tell us have a sinful nature (sinning intentionally or unintentionally) and will struggle with it until the day we die. 

Ragamuffins 

Recently we watched the movie Ragamuffin the Rich Mullins story.

“The Ragamuffin Gospel, emphasize the grace of Jesus in ministering to the “ragamuffins”—the ragged, disreputable people of His day—the sick, the tax collectors and sinners, the woman caught in adultery.”

The gospel is for ragamuffins!

Chuck Smith the founder of Calvary Chapel ministered to ragamuffins, hippies from the beaches.

Numbers 15:17-21 First of your dough! 🎂

 17Then the LORD said to Moses, 18“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land to which I am bringing you 19and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD. 20From the first of your dough, you are to lift up a cake as a contribution; offer it just like an offering from the threshing floor. 21Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.

First of your dough. 🎂 

It’s evident that the Lords loves cake! And what is cake without a good cup of coffee?But my wife has always said the Bible says the man is supposed to brew the coffee, because there is a chapter on “Hebrews”!

My mother in law had a tradition in which she always made Jesus a birthday cake. He always got the first piece, the first of your dough.

Growing up I had a favorite birthday cake, it was a Sanders white cake with buttercream frosting and had crushed hazelnuts around the sides. The birthday child always got the first piece, first of your dough so to speak.

What was your favorite birthday cake and did you always get the first piece?

If you did then you have an idea how the Lord always liked the first of your dough, cake! 🎂

Numbers 15:13-16 Gladness and Thanksgiving

 13Everyone who is native-born shall prepare these things in this way when he presents an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. 14And for the generations to come, if a foreigner residing with you or someone else among you wants to prepare an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, he is to do exactly as you do. 15The assembly is to have the same statute both for you and for the foreign resident; it is a permanent statute for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the LORD. 16The same law and the same ordinance will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing with you.”

Gladness and Thanksgiving 

Psalm 100: 2Serve the LORD with gladness;

come into His presence with joyful songs.

The Lord wanted everyone to bring their offerings with gladness and thanksgiving or He didn’t want it at all. The same applies to us when we give tithes and offerings, He wants you to give out of gladness and thanksgiving, not begrudgingly.

To be perfectly honest, I struggle in this area.

Do you?

Numbers 15:5-12 How Many?

 5With the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb, you are to prepare a quarter hin of wine as a drink offering. 6With a ram you are to prepare a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephahc of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil,d 7and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. 8When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to the LORD, 9present with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine floure mixed with half a hin of olive oil.f 10Also present half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It is an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. 11This is to be done for each bull, ram, lamb, or goat. 12This is how you must prepare each one, no matter how many.

How Many?

How many bulls, rams, lambs or goats gave their lives because of sin?

The animals sacrifice and blood 🩸 only covered sin. 

The messiah’s sacrifice and blood 🩸 of Jesus Christ removes sin if you accept what He did on the cross for you.

Have you accepted Him? If not you are bound by the law.

Numbers 15:1-4 Offering

 1Then the LORD said to Moses, 2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land that I am giving you as a home 3and you present an offering made by fire to the LORD from the herd or flock to produce a pleasing aroma to the LORD—either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, for a special vow or freewill offering or appointed feast— 4then the one presenting his offering to the LORD shall also present a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil.

Offering

After a stinging rebuke from the Lord the Israelites were at their lowest point in history. But God was merciful to Israel, in that this chapter deals with burnt offering, sacrifice to cover sin and sacrifice as an expression of thanksgiving.

Their children will enter the promised land in about 38 years.

Have you accepted His Son’s offering for your sin?

Stepping Back. Jude 1:1-8

 Sometimes you just need to take a step back and regain your focus. We all do it in different ways. We take a vacation, meditate or just go for a walk. Maybe some event in our lives forced us to take that step back, maybe it’s just something someone said. 

This morning I took a step back and reread Jude from the beginning. It was only 7 verses so it didn’t take long. 😉 But instead of focusing on Jude word for word and verse by verse I looked at the context of the letter. Here’s my summary so far:

Hebrews 12:1 “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us”

Don’t get caught up in the evil and sin that surrounds us, stay the course and keep your eyes on Jesus! 

Jude 1:1 This letter is from Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and a brother of James.

1 I am writing to all who have been called by God the Father, who loves you and keeps you safe in the care of Jesus Christ.

2 May God give you more and more mercy, peace, and love.

The Danger of False Teachers

3Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the faith that God has entrusted once for all time to his holy people. 4I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God’s marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

5So I want to remind you, though you already know these things, that Jesus first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later he destroyed those who did not remain faithful. 6And I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority God gave them but left the place where they belonged. God has kept them securely chained in prisons of darkness, waiting for the great day of judgment. 7And don’t forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God’s judgment.

8In the same way, these people—who claim authority from their dreams—live immoral lives, defy authority, and scoff at supernatural beings.

Numbers 14:42-45 Do Not Go!

 42Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you. 43For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you.”

44But they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp. 45Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.

My mother warned me, Do Not Go!

“When God was with them, they did not think it was enough; now that God was not with them, they thought they could do it.” (Guzik)

Have you ever decided to go somewhere and your mother told you, do not go!

But you went anyway only to be caught up in a disaster?

I could see Moses yelling from the rooftop, do not go, but they did not listen!

Just like us when we didn’t listen to our mother the Israelites learned the hard way.

If you could do a “do over”, would you have listened to your mother?

Reminds me of a song!

Numbers 14:40-41 The Promise

 40Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.” 

41But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed! 

The Promise 

After judgement the Israelites admitted their sin but they wanted the promise of the promised land!

The same fate awaits sinners who don’t accept Jesus Christ as their savior! 

When you die it’s too late, the fate of the sinning rich man has been set in stone because God has commanded it! 

You can’t have the promise of eternal life and heaven if you don’t accept the Son!

The Israelites had hard hearts but you need a soft heart to accept the promise from the Son.

What do you think happens to them?

Numbers 14:36-39 Death of the Evil Spies

 36So the men Moses had sent to spy out the land, who had returned and made the whole congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about the land— 37those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD. 38Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.

39And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.

Plague of the Ten Spies

I’ve read this before but why didn’t I grasp it? That’s the reason why we keep reading through the Bible, cover to cover! The Holy Spirit helps us understand the Bible and I believe it depends on our maturity level, milk or solid food on what the Holy Spirit allows us to understand.

Death of the evil spies.

“Here is the sudden death of the ten evil spies. They sinned in bringing a slander upon the land of promise. Those greatly provoke God, who misrepresent religion, raise dislike in men's minds toward it, or give opportunity to those to do so, who seek occasion. Justly are murmurers made mourners. If they had mourned for the sin, when they were faithfully reproved, the sentence had been prevented; but as they mourned for the judgment only, it did them no service. There is in hell such

mourning as this; but tears will not quench the flames, nor cool the tongue.” (Nu 14:40-45) (Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary)

When you die, will you be in hell mourning such as this?

If you accepted His Son, then you will be rejoicing not mourning!
