Israel the People Complained in the Wilderness Numbers 11

Israel the People Complained in the Wilderness as in Numbers 11: Here begins a series of events that will eventually summarize the nature of the children of Israel at large. The Israelites started complaining about their so-called newfound troubles.

The LORD heard them and became so angry that HE destroyed the outer edges of their camp with fire. Then the people begged Moses to help; Moses prayed on their behalf, and the fire went out.

They named the place Taberah, which means “burning,” because in HIS anger the LORD, HIS majesty, had set their camp on fire.

Numbers 11

1 And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched.

3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.

This was just done to the outer edges or uttermost parts of the camp. This also symbolizes the mercy of the ALMIGHTY and HIS willingness to listen to the prayer of HIS devoted men and intercessors.

This is certainly one to keep in mind when we decide to complain and whine about our circumstances when there is no need or reason to do so.
