Numbers Chapter 24 Reveals the Enticement of Man to Go Against G-d — The Benefits and Comfort Zone

To The Haters Of Israel And The Jews – Read:

The entire Hebrew Scripture (Old Testament) speaks about G-d and His People.

Along comes the Greek book (New Testament) altering, distorting and corrupting what G-d has said and commanded.

Decide which you must follow: G-d or a man-made god that the One True G-d never mentioned; except otherwise.

“Balaam’s Third Blessing”
“Balak’s Renewed Anger”
“Balaam’s Last Prophecy…”

Balaam saw that it was good in Hashem’s eyes to bless Israel, so he did not go as every other time toward divinations, but he set his face toward the Wilderness.
24:1
“How goodly are your tents, O Jacob, your dwelling places, O Israel;
:5
“It is God Who brought him out of Egypt according to the power of His loftiness, He will consume the nations that oppress him and crush their bones, and his arrows shall pierce them.
:8
… Those who bless you are blessed and those who curse you are accursed.”
:9
… I cannot transgress the word of Hashem to do good or bad on my own. Whatever Hashem speaks, that shall I speak.’
:14
“Edom shall be a conquest and Seir shall be the conquest of his enemies – and Israel will attain success.
:18
He saw Amalek and declaimed his parable and said: “Amalek is the first among nations, but its end will be eternal destruction.”
:20

1 Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel; so he did not go in search of omens as he had done time and time again, but turned his face toward the desert.
2 Balaam raised his eyes and saw Israel dwelling according to its tribes, and the spirit of God rested upon him.
3 He took up his parable and said, “The word of Balaam the son of Beor and the word of the man with an open eye.
4 The word of the one who hears God’s sayings, who sees the vision of the Almighty, fallen yet with open eyes.
5 How goodly are your tents, O Jacob, your dwelling places, O Israel!
6 They extend like streams, like gardens by the river, like aloes which the Lord planted, like cedars by the water.
7 Water will flow from his wells, and his seed shall have abundant water; his king shall be raised over Agag, and his kingship exalted.
8 God, Who has brought them out of Egypt with the strength of His loftiness He shall consume the nations which are his adversaries, bare their bones and dip His arrows [into their blood].
9 He crouches and lies like a lion and like a lioness; who will dare rouse him? Those who bless you shall be blessed, and those who curse you shall be cursed.
10 Balak’s anger flared against Balaam, and he clapped his hands. Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, but you have blessed them these three times.
11 Now, hurry back to your place. I said I would honor you greatly, but the Lord has deprived you of honor.”
12 Balaam said to Balak, “But I even told the messengers you sent to me, saying,
13 ‘If Balak gives me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot transgress the word of the Lord to do either good or evil on my own; only what the Lord speaks can I speak.’
14 And now, I am going to my people. Come, I will advise you…what this people will do to your people at the end of days.”
15 He took up his parable and said, “The word of Balaam, son of Beor, the word of a man with an open eye.
16 The word of the one who hears God’s sayings and perceives the thoughts of the Most High; who sees the vision of the Almighty, fallen yet with open eyes.
17 I see it, but not now; I behold it, but not soon. A star has gone forth from Jacob, and a staff will arise from Israel which will crush the princes of Moab and uproot all the sons of Seth.
18 Edom shall be possessed, and Seir shall become the possession of his enemies, and Israel shall triumph.
19 A ruler shall come out of Jacob, and destroy the remnant of the city.”
20 When he saw Amalek, he took up his parable and said, “Amalek was the first of the nations, and his fate shall be everlasting destruction.”
21 When he saw the Kenite, he took up his parable and said, “How firm is your dwelling place, and your nest is set in a cliff.
22 For if Kain is laid waste, how far will Assyria take you captive?”
23 He took up his parable and said, Alas! Who can survive these things from God?
24 Ships will come from the Kittites and afflict Assyria and afflict those on the other side, but he too will perish forever.”
25 Balaam arose, went, and returned home, and Balak went on his way.
