Korah, Dathan, and Abiram all led a group of men who rebelled against the authority of Moses and his brother, Aaron. They challenged God’s appointed leaders with these words, “What makes you think you’re the only ones in charge?”

God verified Moses’ leadership by causing the ground to open up and swallow alive the three men and their families.  Shortly thereafter, God sent fire from heaven to consume the group of 250 dissidents.

“Obey them that have the oversight of you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give accounts, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.”  Heb. 13:7
