The troubling episode of Korach’s rebellion. What was his motivation? To depose Moses? To replace Aaron as high priest? In this episode of Messiah in Life, we consider a few rabbinic thoughts, and then connect this rebellion to our own attitudes today. What is the heart of this lesson? Give a listen. 

What happened when the children of Israel stood at the boarder of the Promised Land? They listened to the voices of false witnesses, and by doing so, the exodus generation would slowly die one by one in the wilderness. This is a rather bleak description, but one that encapsulates a devastating moment. There are many parallels that can be made between that generation and our generation; but most importantly, when we behold the promises of God, to what will we listen? Will we enter the promise of milk and honey, or return to hopelessness?  

Why is Aaron told to “kindle the lights” of the Menorah between the princely dedicatory offering and the dedication of the Levites? Is there a lesson that we can learn from this while we serve the Lord today? Certainly. Give a listen.
