Rebellion, Judgment, and Mercy: The Power Struggle in Numbers 16 | 704 Church

Thaddeus Fennig

In this week's sermon from Numbers 16, Pastor Thaddeus Fennig unpacks the rebellion of the Koalites and the Reubenites as they challenged Moses and Aaron’s leadership. Their grumbling and thirst for power led to a dramatic judgment—the earth opened up to swallow them, and fire consumed the rest.

Yet, even in judgment, we see God’s mercy. Moses and Aaron, despite being opposed, interceded for the people, pleading for their lives. When a plague struck, Aaron stood between the living and the dead, offering incense as atonement—a powerful foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, who stood between life and death for us, offering Himself as the ultimate atonement for our sins.

This message challenges us to reflect on humility, obedience, and God’s justice and mercy. Will we humbly trust God’s leadership, or will we rebel against His ways? Jesus is our High Priest, standing in the gap so that we might have eternal life through Him.
