After learning the whole story, Samuel's mother Hannah often prayed for Korah and his followers, asking God to have mercy and forgiveness so that they could have a share in the "world to come (new heaven and new earth: the kingdom of God)." These evildoers, after being resurrected at the end of the Millennium and judged at the Great White Throne, will not perish as the sons of Jacob and will serve in the first heaven (the lowest heaven) outside the holy city in the heaven.
The Party of Korah in the Church
1. Attacking the shepherd and slandering whatever they do not understand
Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them. Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion. (NIV, Jude 1: 10-11)
Shepherds in God's house are appointed by the Lord to distribute food at the right time, to watch over the sheep at all times, to fast and pray, like those who will have to give an account in the future. A small number of church elders and deacons privately criticized the pastor's preaching, gathered together to rebel against the shepherd, and slandered what they knew nothing about. This was the party of Korah.
Don't be deceived by Korah and blindly follow him to attack the shepherds! In his letters, Paul reminded people to be cautious when bringing charges against elders. The Bible says, “Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses” (1 Timothy 5:19). If this is the case with accusing elders, then shouldn’t we be even more careful when accusing shepherds?
If you do not have the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, or if you are not at peace in your spirit, and if you do not have solid evidence, do not be instigated by anyone to write a letter to accuse the shepherd. You must know that Satan is very cunning! I am afraid that you will become an accomplice of Korah and unknowingly follow the path of destruction of Korah's party and fall into the judgment of the fire of Hades.
2. Characteristics of the leaders of the Korah Party
⑴. You do not submit to the shepherds God has appointed in the church, and you want to be the head, not knowing that the head of the church is Christ.
⑵. You complain about the pastor privately, criticize his preaching, and find fault with his shortcomings.
⑶. You will make up stories, attack shepherds with lies, and confuse people to obey you.
⑷. You do not communicate directly with the shepherd about the problems in the church, but judge them privately, stirring up dissatisfaction among the people towards the shepherd.
⑸. Your family has a large number of members in the church, like Korah, and occupies a large number of seats.
⑹. You do not accept the accusations of others, you are good at making arguments and you always blame others for their mistakes. You are not willing to be humble and repent.
⑺. In your heart, you are dissatisfied with the shepherd, so you deliberately magnify his shortcomings and make inappropriate accusations.
⑻. You are good at winning people over, inviting them to dinner, giving them small favors, and creating disputes and factions.
⑼. You fabricate false testimony on various platforms, vilify the shepherd, and slander the teachings he preaches.
⑽. Without knowing it, you have been used by Satan and become the leader of Korah’s party, gathering people to attack shepherds.
The above ten characteristics are the conditions for becoming the leader of the Korah gang and are for reference only! If you find that some of these items are very similar to your own, you need to examine them even more carefully, lest you perish in Korah’s rebellion!
