He had hardly finished speaking the words when the ground suddenly split open beneath them. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed the men, along with their households and all their followers who were standing with them, and everything they owned. So they went down alive into the grave, along with all their belongings. The earth closed over them, and they all vanished from among the people of Israel. All the people around them fled when they heard their screams. “The earth will swallow us, too!” they cried. Then fire blazed forth from the Lord and burned up the 250 men who were offering incense.

• Korah thought he should be in charge.
• God had already appointed leaders.
• Moses proposed a test to prove his authority was from God.
• Korah did not pass.

• God calls whom He chooses.
• God equips the called for service.
• Service is to the glory of God, not for our own sake.
