Rebellion is becoming a popular happenings nowadays.
Just recently Libyan rebels took over their country and ousted their leader Muammar Gaddafi. The same thing happened in Egypt, when President Hosni Mubarak stepped down after an 18-day angry protest against his leadership.

In the Philippines, we have the famous EDSA-People Power 1, wherein Filipinos united and successfully exiled the former dictator Pres. Ferdinand Marcos to Hawaii in 1986. EDSA I was only the beginning. In 2001, EDSA People Power 2 was called, overthrowing Pres. Joseph Estrada. A peaceful revolution compared with the other countries.
Rebellion can be a simple as disobedience to your parents or could be as
extreme as forcing a president of a country to step down from his
position. To rebel is to go against the authority -- can be a person who has the authority or the law itself.
I do believe that every person has a rebellious inclination in his heart, it's just a matter how he controls or expresses it. This rebellious inclination may have come from different forms, it may
be power (to take control), pride, vengeance, selfishness,
disappointments, freedom or love.
For whatever our reason is that we may rebel to anyone or anything in
this world, but we cannot rebel against God or His chosen one; for we
may face the consequence that Korah, Dathan, Abiram and others
suffered.
I usually see this kind of story in Movies, Cartoons or TV series.
People swallowed by the Earth alive. Truly, all things are possible with
God.
Numbers 16:31-33
As soon as he finished saying all this, the ground under them split apart and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households, and all those associated with Korah, together with their possessions. They went down alive into the realm of the dead, with everything they owned; the earth closed over them, and they perished and were gone from the community.

Rebellion can be rewarding or disgrace. It will be determined by its outcome.
Numbers 14:18
‘The LORD is slow to
anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does
not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of
the parents to the third and fourth generation.’
"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."
To God be the glory.
