The rebellion refers to their repeated turning away from God's commandments, as seen throughout their history, particularly during the wilderness wanderings (Numbers 14:11). Grieving the Holy Spirit indicates a deep sorrow caused by their actions, suggesting a personal relationship between God and His people. This concept is echoed in Ephesians 4:30, where believers are warned not to grieve the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit's presence in the Old Testament is seen as guiding and empowering, as in the anointing of leaders like Moses and David. The rebellion can be understood in the context of Israel's covenant relationship with God, where obedience was expected in return for His blessings and protection.

Teaching Points The Seriousness of RebellionRebellion against God is not a trivial matter. It grieves the Holy Spirit and can lead to God opposing us. The Role of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is sensitive to our actions and attitudes. We must strive to live in a way that honors Him. Consequences of Disobedience Just as God became an enemy to the Israelites due to their rebellion, persistent disobedience can lead to severe consequences in our lives. The Importance of Repentance When we recognize our rebellion, we must turn back to God in repentance to restore our relationship with Him. Learning from History The history of the Israelites serves as a warning for us today. We must learn from their mistakes and seek to live faithfully.(10) Vexed his holy Spirit . . .--Literally, his Spirit of holiness. So St. Paul speaks of Christians as "grieving the Holy Spirit." Here, and in Psalm 51:11, as in the "Angel of the Presence," we may note a foreshadowing of the truth of the trinal personality of the unity of the Godhead, which was afterwards to be revealed. That which "vexed" the Holy Spirit was, in the nature of the case, the unholiness of the people, and this involved a change in the manifestation of the Divine Love, which was now compelled to show itself as wrath.Verse 10. - But they rebelled. The rebellions of Israel against God commenced in the wilderness. They rebelled at Sinai, when they set up the golden calf; at Meribah (Numbers 20:24); at Shittim, when they consorted with the daughters of Moab (Numbers 25:6). Under the Judges, their conduct was one long rebellion (Judges 2:11; Judges 3:7, 12; Judges 4:1; Judges 6:1; Judges 8:33; Judges 10:6; Judges 13:1). They rebelled in Samuel's time by asking for a king (1 Samuel 8:5, 19, 20). The ten tribes rebelled under Jeroboam, and set up the idolatry of the calves at Dan and Bethel. Worse idolatries followed, and in two centuries and a half had reached such a height, that God was provoked to "remove Israel out of his sight" (2 Kings 17:23). Judah remained, but "rebelled" under Manasseh, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah, "transgressing very much after all the abominations of the heathen, and polluting the very house of the Lord at Jerusalem" (2 Chronicles 36:14). These rebellions against God vexed his Holy Spirit - "provoked him," "grieved him," "moved the Holy One in Israel" (Psalm 78:40, 41; Psalm 106:43). Therefore he was turned to be their enemy (comp. Jeremiah 30:14; Lamentations 2:4, 5). Judah had "filled up the measure of her iniquities," had gone on "until there was no remedy" (2 Chronicles 36:16). God's indignation was therefore poured out upon her without let or stint. "He cut oft' in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he drew back his right hand from before the enemy; he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about. He bent his bow like an enemy; he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion; he poured out his fury like fire. The Lord was as an enemy" (Lamentations 2:3-5). He fought against them; rather, he himself fought against them. God himself, though they were "his people," yet fought against them and for the Chaldeans in that final struggle. He "gave the city into the hand of the King of Babylon" (Jeremiah 34:2).
