  1. Korah’s children did not die in this incident. Num 26:9-11 And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, which were famous in the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD: And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign. Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not. Korah had three sons, Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph Exo 6:24 And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites. and of their descendants David selected a number to preside over the music of the sanctuary, 1Ch 6:22-24 The sons of Kohath; Amminadab his son, Korah his son, Assir his son, Elkanah his son, and Ebiasaph his son, and Assir his son, Tahath his son, Uriel his son, Uzziah his son, and Shaul his son. 1Ch 6:31 And these are they whom David set over the service of song in the house of the LORD, after that the ark had rest. They continued in this service until the time of Jehoshaphat, 2Ch 20:19 And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high. 2Ch 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. 2Ch 20:21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. 2Ch 20:22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 2Ch 20:23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another. 2Ch 20:24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped. One of the most eminent of the descendants of Korah, who was employed especially in the musical service of the sanctuary, was Heman: 1Ch 6:33 And these are they that waited with their children. Of the sons of the Kohathites: Heman a singer, the son of Joel, the son of Shemuel, The sons of Heman were appointed by David, in connection with the sons of Asaph, and of Jeduthun, to preside over the music: 1Ch 25:1 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was: 1Ch 25:4-6 Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth: All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman. 2Ch_5:12 Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:) 2Ch_29:14 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.
  2. The Sons of Korah is a name seen on several psalms. They were a family of Levitical singers. Korah was a great-grandson of Levi, Num 16:1. He was united with Dathan and Abiram in opposition to Moses, and was the leader of the conspiracy, Jude 1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. and Num_16. Num 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: Num 16:2 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: Num 16:3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD? Num 16:4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face: Num 16:5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him. Num 16:6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company; Num 16:7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi. Num 16:8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi: Num 16:9 Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them? Num 16:10 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also? Num 16:11 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him? Num 16:12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up: Num 16:13 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us? Num 16:14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up. Num 16:15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them. Num 16:16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow: Num 16:17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer. Num 16:18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron. Num 16:19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation. Num 16:20 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, Num 16:21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. Num 16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation? Num 16:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Num 16:24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Num 16:25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. Num 16:26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. Num 16:27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children. Num 16:28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind. Num 16:29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me. Num 16:30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD. Num 16:31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: Num 16:32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. Num 16:33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation. Num 16:34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also. Num 16:35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense. Num 16:36 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Num 16:37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed. Num 16:38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel. Num 16:39 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar: Num 16:40 To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses. Num 16:41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD. Num 16:42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared. Num 16:43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation. Num 16:44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Num 16:45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. Num 16:46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun. Num 16:47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people. Num 16:48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. Num 16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah. Num 16:50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
  3. I read the gospel of thomas and found it to be pretty bad. It claims that Jesus told the disciples that women had to become men to get saved. The bible tells us this If there is a contradiction to the bible, it isnt worth reading.
  4. Those islands are australian territories. If the tariffs affect australia and its territories, then it would include those islands. Which of course the media (and npr is a liberal mouthpiece) will twist things to make it look bad.
  5. Good topic and I appreciate the civility here. One thing I know, if I live to the end, and its not pretrib rapture, God will see me through it as He did Stephen in Acts.
  6. “Hamas’s new March 2025 fatality list quietly drops 3,400 fully “identified” deaths listed in its August and October 2024 reports – including 1,080 children. These “deaths” never happened. The numbers were falsified – again,” Mr Aizenberg wrote. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/04/01/hamas-drops-thousands-of-deaths-from-casualty-figurures/

  8. As I recall, the new testament is written mainly in greek. Some aramaic too.
  9. When I think of elon musk, I am reminded of an historical figure, rasputin.
  10. Since you brought it up, I think your sig line prayer is not good. You are essentially praying for calamity for others. We are to forgive others, not harbor ill will. It seems you have bitterness in you. I know it is difficult to let go of anger towards others but it needs to be done. The hardest thing Ive had to do is pray for (not against) the man who murdered my brother in law. You should be praying for the salvation of those who hurt you.
  11. Before I respond to your post, I want to clarify my position. I have a college degree in anthropology, among 2 other degrees. I do not agree with evolutionary theory. I was not a Christian at the time, and even then I saw too many assumptions with evolution and hominids. I also question dating methods, having seen errors and assumptions in the field. Your post contains false assumptions. Skeletal evidence and for that matter archaeological evidence of ancient human cultures, is scarce. Remains require specific conditions to be preserved as fossils. There are few fossils of any species, hominid or animal or plant. Remains of ancient cultures are also difficult to preserve over time. As an example, ancient egyptian dynastic histories are not that well known. I just read this week about a "lost dynasty" that they may or may not have found evidence of. Btw, you said there were no mass migrations, and then you say native americans were isolated for 15,000 years. But native americans migrated in multiple waves across the bering land bridge up to 23,000 years ago (40,000 if you believe recent evidence that was just published last month.) Although I believe what the bible says regarding all humanity descending from adam and eve, belief in evolution is not a belief that affects the salvation of an individual. Better to focus on the gospel message.
  12. Microchips in animals causes a higher risk of cancer, despite their usefulness. I assume the same would be true of humans. Is this going to lead to the mark? I tend to think not.
  13. Have you read any Christian biographies? If so, which one/s is/are your favorites? And if you so choose, why is/are they a favorite? The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom, a classic. She sacrificed so much to save people in ww 2. I remember reading decades later that she gave a speech after the war and at the end, one of the guards from the prison camp she was at came up to her to shake her hand. She said it was such a hard thing to do, to shake his hand and forgive him. Only with the help of the Lord. The Small Woman: The Heroic Story of Gladys Aylward by Alan Burgess, so inspirational to me. To go to china as a missionary without backing, to save so many from a hard existence, to take those children to safety. She made a difference in their lives and showed the love of God in her actions.
  14. It sounds like your reason would be showing respect because of his sister. There are other ways you can show respect for your friend and his sister. Send her a card with a fruit basket, telling her how much you enjoyed the friendship etc. Or call her. You do not need to be there, especially since you risk pressure from your old addict buddies and also because of your dental issue. Take care of your tooth without feeling guilty, God knows your heart.
  15. I confess prophecy is not my strength. Is this suleiman able to gain the trust/respect of Jews? I seem to recall the ac would fool everyone until he declares himself a god in the temple.
  16. The sda have bigger issues than what locusts really were. Some sda churchs have a belief that is a salvational issue, who Jesus is.
  17. I have wondered for a long time if the ac could be an ai robot. Certainly would have no love of women then.
  18. Honey and carob bean would not provide a good diet. He would have needed protein. Many cultures, ancient and modern, eat bugs. (There is a current un agenda to convince the world to eat bugs too but NOT FOR ME.) One can buy cricket tacos in the us (mexican delicacy), and a certain ice cream chain has bug toppings every year for a week or two. It sounds like they are trying to force a scripture to fit their viewpoint. But it is not a salvational issue so to me its not a big deal.
  19. I understand about difficulty in finding work. When Mike was looking for work awhile back, he was told flat out that one pharmacy chain will not even look at applicants who are over 30 (they can figure it out based on when you first got licensed and when you graduated from pharmacy college). I have also read that companies post ghost job listings knowing full well they do not have a job available. It is done just to get resumes handy in case later on they need employees. Algorithms mess things up too for those seeking work. It can be quite discouraging. If the Lord leads you to the uk to get a job, at least we will still have you on worthy.
  20. Years ago in phoenix, a young girl was murdered by her father, deliberately run over by his suv) because he felt she was becoming too american and doing things against her islamic culture (she wanted to go to the movies with her friend). The county attorney stated that he would not seek a death penalty for first degree murder, like he would have for anyone else, because he was just acting out as his religious beliefs of honor killings. He was muslim immigrated from a middle eastern country. Everyone was outraged. So why does it matter? A girl was murdered, likely unsaved. Forget my safety, is this what we want in the us? So called honor killings?
  21. If I may add, from a couple of the versions I read that you did not quote from ... MKJV in which I suffer ill as an evildoer, even to bonds. But the Word of God is not chained. MEV in which I suffer trouble like a criminal, even with chains. But the word of God is not bound.
  22. The kjv is a translation, just like the others are translations. Tne kjv contains biases in its translations, that do not affect the gospel but are still not true translations of the original greek or hebrew words. The kjv isnt a bad translation but neither is it a perfect translation.
  23. American emigration to Europe totalled 3,6 million people in 2005, and 5 million in 2019, whereas Americans emigrating to other countries counted 29,3 million people in 2005 and 40 million people in 2019. So how many are leaving now? I dont have statistics for that. https://www.perceptions.eu/migration-in-and-from-america-current-statistics/#:~:text=Overview of American migratory demography (2005-2019)&text=American emigration to Europe totalled,40 million people in 2019.
  24. As for bibles, I tend to prefer the mkjv, but I read the mev, nasb, nkjv, esv, and kjv. Wording may differ in minor points but overall doctrine and gospel are there in each.
