Korah
Korah was a man of the tribe of Levi, who together with Dathan and Abiram, led an insurrection against Moses and Aaron. Apparently their insurrection was prompted by their being out in the wilderness with no place to go. This happened after the Children of Israel had approached the land of Canaan from the south and had sent out spies to scout the land. Ten of the twelve spies said the land was too strong for them, that there were giants there. Moses then told the whole congregation they would all have to spend forty years in the wilderness until all that generation had died. In this story, Moses and Aaron represent the Lord. When Korah and his fellow rebels murmured against them and took fire from the altar and burned incense with it, they represented the profanation of mixing what is good (the fire from the altar) with what is evil (rebelling against Moses). The three rebel leaders and their followers were separated from the congregation and were swallowed up by a pit that opened in the earth. In our lives, evils need to be separated, too, and gotten rid of.

Mark 1:23-29
23
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26
And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
27
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
28
And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
29
And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
