The Danger Of Mixing With The Multitude

We must not use science to prove a historical event. You can have confidence that the resurrection was not a fairy tale and not a figment of your imagination.

When you go through hell, heaven is still in charge. When you are going through pain, take a moment to reflect. Serving God costs you, but there will be rewards in the end.

What kind of experiences do you think Judas experienced to allow his heart to open to theft and betrayal? Have you heard and listened to God enough to prove that He is worth following? If not, is your life full of pretense? Is it a feeling of religiosity?

The first Passover was a commemoration of Israel coming out of Egypt. The people witnessed the power of God up close and personal. There were non-Jews who came out with them. As a result, they began to contaminate the fellowship. Some non-Jews were not interested in following God.

The Second Passover was a year later. Every person in the camp was supposed to observe and remember how God fought and delivered them. He not only brought them out of bondage but led them to the promised land, providing an example of what God will provide for them and wanting fellowship with His children.

God wants the real you. You have to look like, act like, sound like, and conduct yourself like you belong to Him. What needs to be burned or repaired in your life?

Rabble - gossipers, whiners, criers. Fights against and resists leadership. Questions Scripture or God's ways.

The rabble or the non-believers in Israel questioned whether God could meet their needs in hard places. If you can not believe God and nothing is working in your favor, and you moan and complain, you are like the rabble that exited Egypt with the children of Israel. You have to make up your mind. God says you have to be hot or cold. Are you going to Him believe or not? A relationship with God is a lifestyle. It is attending church. It is a belief in the uncompromising Truth. God is not to be toyed with.

Egypt represents the world and its systems. There is a real danger to mixing with people who supposedly have what you want. With their words they praise God, but their actions and how they live their lives are the opposite. Unfortunately, Israel started listening to the rabble and began thinking, speaking, and acting like them.

Do not look to yourself, but look to God.
