God always doing the new things

Numbers 16:25-50
No one except a descendant of Aaron should come to burn incense before the Lord.
The next day after the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them- house of Korah, Aniram, Dathan and all their possessions. The whole Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron again. God's wrath  has come out and the plague had already started among the people, Aaron offered the incense and made atonement for them. But 14,700 people died from the plague. It was not the whole community died.
The attack is on God, and it is God who puts the rebellion down.
The very next day the whole community opposes the leadership and is subject to God's judgment, to be saved once again by Moses and Aaron.
Why?
God makes use of natural forces to execute judgment. The phenomenon here may be the breaking up of the hard crusty surface which forms over deep lakes of liquid mud in the Arabia rift valley where this incident occurred.
Moses prayed to the Lord show His punishment in his way but not humans way, then people will know who is belong to the Lord.
Respect the anointed one who serve the Lord, who is the servant of the Lord.
Let people know the judgement of the Lord to the rebellious people.
How?
God's way is not the way of people's, the Lord always doing the new things. Pray to the Lord and asked the sign could be special signature.
