KORACH

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION on the interpretation of the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is KORACH. The IVRI transliteration KORACH is the name of the son of IZHAR BEN LEVI. IZHAR BEN LEVI is the son of KOHATH whose family had been given the DIVINE PURPOSE of CHARGE over the ARK, the TABLE, the MENORAH, the ALTARS and the SACRED UTENSILS with which they would minister, the PARTITION and all its accessories. READ NUMBERS 3:31.

DIVINE PURPOSE is the REASON for the CREATION OF A THING. One of the QUALITIES of DIVINE PURPOSE is that which we term IMMUTABILITY, which is inclusive of the IDEA of not being subject to change. Whatever is done in the STATE of CAUSE is not SUBJECT TO CHANGE. To add, the QUALITY of IMMUTABILITY is ETERNAL, because if it changes, it is not IMMUTABLE. Thus the PURPOSE that HASHEM PREDETERMINED for the MISHPACHAH KOHATH would remain unchanged for ALL GENERATIONS. Indeed the DIVINE PURPOSE of KORACH is that which was also his GRANDFATHER KOHATH. This EMET AIDS in the INTERPRETATION of the story.

The story is a revelation of what occurs when an INDIVIDUAL chooses HIS OWN WAY instead of the DIVINE PURPOSE. KORACH had gathered some of the LEADERSHIP together to form a COUP to overthrow the LEADERSHIP of MOSHE and AARON. They justified the FORMATION based upon the IDEA that BENEI YISRAEL did not need their LEADERSHIP, THEY ARE HOLY and therefore ABLE to GOVERN THEMSELVES.

The NAVI MOSHE possessed the INSIGHT that exposed their PLOY, yea, what they desired was to take their (MOSHE and AARON) PLACE. The NAVI MOSHE’S sight into the STATE of CAUSE REVEALED what had been predetermined to occur. This sight is the result of TRANSCENDING SPACE and TIME entering into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUS. Within the STATE OF PURE SOUL CONSCIOUS is insight into DIVINE PURPOSE. INSIGHT into DIVINE PURPOSE is a QUALITY that a TRUE TEACHER MUST HAVE IN ORDER TO aid the TALMIDIM in ASCENSION into the HIGHER LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. The test that was put forth by the NAVI Moshe was to reveal to BENEI YISRAEL who possessed the INSIGHT into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS.
The thing that hath been is that which shall be. We are a generation that asks the HARD QUESTIONS. This is indicative of the EMET (truth) the the generation is ready to hear the TEACHER. Thus the TEACHER is revealed. The time for the infoldment has come that will reveal the GLORY OF the ONE in the MANY.
