"Dathan and Abiram had long wanted to go back to Egypt, so they join Korah who wanted to be high priest in his rebellion. It was a rebellion against change, it was resistance to progress, it was a back to yesterday rebellion."

This is exactly what "progressives" are trying to do in the SDA Church--take us back, as Ellen White said, to Egypt.  They don't like the "restrictive" environment which has prevailed in the SDA Church for 150 years.  They want us to become more like other churches (the daughters of Babylon) and like the culture around us, so we won't stand out as "weird."  Noah must have seemed weird to the "enlightened" Antediluvians.  He survived the Flood; they did not.
