What did God do when the Israelites began to complain about the death of Korah and his followers?

What did God do when the Israelites began to complain about the death of Korah and his followers?

(Exodus, Numbers, Amos)

I started with (Num 16:41 KJV)  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.

If I understand this, which I am not sure of getting it right, but I'll try and say "God first appeared at the tabernacle and told Moses and Aaron to separate themsleves from the rest of the congergation and then started a plague to consume the rest of those that complained"

I believe that if I was there when God opened the earth and swallowed up Korah and his followers, I think the last thing I would do would do is complain and not think God would do the same to me.

As for the previous question:

Doesn't seem like anyone wanted to tackle this one so I'll give in and give you the answer and maybe we'll try an easier one.
The answer is:

Well, oh my goodness!  The answer is lost to this moderator because I lost my page!  Bad moderator, bad, bad, bad moderator!  I'll take 50 lashes with a wet noodle for being a noodle-head!  It was Elijah and the answer is in 1 Kings ......somewhere! 

I seem to be having trouble getting what I am trying to say in words. So I was actually waiting for someone else to answer it. All I can do here is ask the "Lord" to forgive me.

 I found the answer in 1 Kings 19:12-13 which is Elijah: (1Ki 19:12 KJV)  And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
 (1Ki 19:13 KJV)  And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
If I got this one right too, Elijah went into hidding because he feared that Jezebel was out to kill him ?

I'm sorry that I've been a bit busy and haven't had the time to check in on this study more frequently.

Dave H,

You did an excellent job on both of those questions, brother.

Hooray!  Brother Dave!  Yes excellent answers!  And I would have to agree with your statement above too!  The Israelites had many hard lessons to learn and still kept turning from God all throughout their history.  I actually have to say that my history is much like theirs in that way.  I had many hard lessons to learn before I finally turned my life over to Him once and for all.  And yet still I will find myself wanting to things my way instead of His.  The difference now is that I realize what I'm doing much faster and therefore the Father can be much gentler with the consequences and direction!  I can be such a hard head.

What judge's wife wept in front of him?

(1 Kings, 2 Samuel, Judges)

[Shammu]

The only thing I can think of is Judges 14:16

Judges 14:16 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?

That is the only "wife wept before him" I know of..................

[David_james]

but he wasn't a judge

[Soldier4Christ]

The Book of Judges is the account of the Judges of Israel.  The Judges listed in this book were more in line of a king or military ruler rather than a judge as we know them today. Samson was the 12th Judge of Israel.

Thanks DW!  I'm glad to see more people commenting in this thread!  And thank you Brother David and PR too!  I think this is a fun way to learn.  I always think of searching the scriptures as like a Tresure Hunt.  You never know what little jewels you'll find!

According to Psalm 126, what caused laughter among the Jews?

[David_james]

1When the LORD brought back the captive ones of Zion,
         We were like those who dream.
    2Then our mouth was filled with laughter
         And our tongue with joyful shouting;
         Then they said among the nations,
         "The LORD has done great things for them."
    3The LORD has done great things for us;
         We are glad.
    4Restore our captivity, O LORD,
         As the streams in the South.
    5Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.
    6He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed,
         Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

Yes Brother David!  Bringing back the captives!

Where did a follower of Jesus escape an angry mob by running away naked?

(Matthew, Mark, Luke)

[workinprogress]

Where did a follower of Jesus escape an angry mob by running away naked?

(Matthew, Mark, Luke)

in the Garden of Gethsemane:
I think we need to read the events leading up to this happening, which starts in Mark 14: 32 in order to find the answer
As this came about when Judas betrayed our Lord Jesus in the Garden.
(Mar 14:51 KJV)  And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:

(Mar 14:52 KJV)  And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.


 After reading some of the commentaries regarding this incident, I am a bit puzzled ; of coarse I think it does not matter who it was because the main event taking place is the beganning of Christ's arrest and passion. 
Some say it may have been Mark or John, but it also mentions that he may have been the owner of the Garden itself and not one of the Disciples at all.

Would anyone care to help me understand who it may have been.

[Soldier4Christ]

Would anyone care to help me understand who it may have been.

The book of Mark is the only account given of this person and it is quite evident that it was unknown even to Mark who this young man was. Mark does tell us that this young man was "following Jesus." We have seen throughout the gospels where people frequently followed Jesus from one place to another. This young man probably was one these people. The main point here is this young man was going to be arrested as a follower of Jesus and he ran away.
