Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Unless we are missing something, we cannot see what’s so funny about animals walking calmly into Noah’s ark that the antediluvians should be laughing and making merry at the scene. But they had for so long exchanged truth for error that their reasoning powers had become utterly dismantled.
Something similar took place with the children of Israel who were backing three losers in the form of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. These three amigos had formed a confederacy to overthrow the government God had ordained, and they began spreading a host of conspiracy theories and lies to garner support.
They continued their diabolical work, knowing full well that what they were doing was based on false narratives, yet, when confronted with the truth they dug in their heels and continued repeating the lies they had concocted. This false claim the co-conspirators knew to be not true, for God Himself had ordained Moses and his brother Aaron, in the most public manner, at mount Sinai and then later on, when Aaron, and two of his sons were anointed to the ministry of sacrifices.
Numbers 16:1 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. 2 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.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
