The Teaching Of Balaam

The Teaching of Balaam Introduction This is a study based upon the Torah portion in Numbers 22 where Balaam, a prophet of YHVH, could not speak a curse upon Israel and he gave the enemy, Balak, the key to curse and defeat Israel. This was accomplished by letting the enemy's daughters (pagan religions), mix with the sons of Israel, the righteous of Elohim. YHVH’s covering hand lifted away from Israel when they mix in their pagan traditions with YHVH's traditions, and in the end, they defeated Israel.

Satan’s plan Satan’s plan right from the beginning, in the Garden of Eden, was to take YHVH’s Word and change it just a little bit so that those who do not know it be deceived and cursed. The story of Balaam is a warning to us today, to show us what to be aware of, and how to withstand the attacks of Satan. Num_22:2-3 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. (3) And Moab was much afraid of the people because they were many. And Moab was distressed because of the sons of Israel. Balak first used in Scripture: Num_22:2 Balak -qlb - who lays waste or destroys

Zippor -rvpo - bird; sparrow; crown; desert

Israel -larsy - straight (righteous) of Elohim, who prevails with Elohim.

Balaam -milb - the ancient of the people; the destruction of the people, not of the people

"bal" -lb - mind, heart, lord, not. "am" - mi- nation, people

Balak is the one who destroys and is a symbol of Satan. Balak was the son of Zippor, which means bird. Birds represent the work of Satan and everywhere you see ‘bird’ in Scripture, it gives you the insight that Satan is at work there. For example where Abraham had to chase away the birds from the covenant offering and where Y’shua told the parable of the sower, where the birds came and ate the seed (Word). It was Balak that wanted Israel, the righteous of YHVH, to be destroyed because they defeated the Amorites.

Amorites first used in Scripture: Gen_10:16 Amorites -yrma - bitter; a rebel; a babbler

a - "aleph" - Father YHVH m - "mem" - water, Word

r - "resh" - human reasoning

y - "yod" - Spirit, hand

The mind and heart r is evil and YHVH connected Himself with the mind of man in all these ways: • • •

a Him self (Y'shua)

m His Word (Y'shua) y His Spirit.

He does this so that man's evil mind can be changed and renewed so that man can be saved.

The meaning of Amorites is: • • •

Bitterness of the heart Rebellious in their actions Blabbing with the mouth

The restoration of man is done through renewing the mind (resh - r) with the Word

(mem - m), the Spirit (yod - y) and Himself (Y'shua and the Spirit – Aleph - a). He deals with our bitterness, rebellion and our words we speak. Balaam could not curse Israel because they defeated the Amorites and Satan cannot curse us if we have these three attributes: • • •

If we do not walk in un-forgiveness that would cause bitterness. If we do not rebel against YHVH and His Instructions (Word) If we only speak YHVH’s words and did not slander each other. Ps 12:1-7

2

The lesson is; every time Satan wants to curse us, it will turn into a blessing because the righteous of Elohim cannot be cursed if they have the protecting shield of these three attributes. Walk in these three ways and you will experience YHVH’s hand and blessings over your life and you will be under the protecting wing of YHVH. Ps 91:1-7.

Bitterness Bitterness is the result of un-forgiveness and will eat you up in the inside. Forgiveness - “nesah” – asn - to lift, bear up, carry, take, array, support, sustain, endure, to make a rising, to forget, deprive, make an insurrection, to beguile, deceive, to lend on interest or usury, be a creditor, debt, something lifted up, one lifted up, chief, prince, captain, standard, signal, to test, try, prove.

Bear, forgive first used in Scripture: Gen_4:13 Cain was the first man to reap the result of sin. Death came upon him because he killed his brother, because of sin in his life. The result of his sin was a curse from

YHVH, which was too great to bear. YHVH gave him a mark (aleph-vav-tav tva or man hidden in Messiah Rev_1:8) that is a foreshadow to us, showing that He will carry, "neseh", our burdens (curse), forgive, "neseh", all our iniquities and forget about it. Psa_103:12-13 Psa 103:12-13 As far as east is from west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. (13) As a father has compassion for his children, So ‫ יהוה‬has compassion for those who fear Him. If you take the word for forgiveness, “neseh”, and you add a “tav” (stake, cross) on the left side, it gives the word “nisyth”,

tasn meaning ‘Gift’. Y’shua is the Gift from YHVH

the Father, send to this Earth to die for man’s sin and to pay the dept and to bear the curse of sin (death) upon Himself. Joh_3:16, Mat_8:17, 1Pe_2:24 1Pe 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His body on the timber, so that we, having died to sins, might live unto righteousness1 – by whose stripes you were healed. Footnote: 1 Rom_6:2, 1Pe_4:1-2. Just as He forgave us, we should forgive one another. If we do not forgive one another, He cannot forgive us.

3

Mat_6:14-15 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father shall also forgive you. (15) “But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither shall your Father forgive your trespasses. Mat_18:21-22 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Master, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” (22) Y’shua said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Mat_18:32-35 “Then his master called him and said to him, ‘Wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt seeing you begged me. (33) ‘Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, as I also had compassion on you?’ (34) “And his master was wroth, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. (35) “So also My heavenly Father shall do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.” Remember this if you hold a grudge against anyone and repent.

Rebellion Rebelled first used in Scripture: Gen_14:4 Gen 14:4 Twelve years they served Keḏorlaʽomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

They rebelled in the 13th year. Rebel - "marad" -drm - rebellion, revolt, against Elohim or authority.

m - "mem" - water, Word

r - "resh" - human reasoning, mind d - "dalet" - Door, Y'shua

To rebel is to set your mind r against authority and in this case it is the authority of Elohim; Who is Y’shua, (the Door d to the Father). They also rebel against the

authority of YHVH’s Word; Who is Y’shua (the living water m form YHVH). The Scripture says to humble yourselves and receive His Word in meekness so that you can get Salvation.

4

Jas 1:21 Therefore put away all filthiness and overflow of evil, and receive with meekness the implanted Word,1 which is able to save your lives. Footnote: 1See Mt. 13:4-23.

They rebelled in the 13th year. The number thirteen links us to Exo 34 which gives us the thirteen attributes of YHVH’s Character. Exo_34:6-7 And ‫ יהוה‬passed before him and proclaimed, “‫יהוה‬, ‫יהוה‬, an Ěl compassionate and showing favour, patient, and great in kindness and truth, (7) watching over kindness for thousands, forgiving crookedness and transgression and sin, but by no means leaving unpunished1, visiting the crookedness of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.” Footnote: 1This is confirmed in Num. 14:18, and in Jer. 30:11. Thirteen attributes of YHVH's Character 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

Compassionate Showing favor Patient Great in Kindness Great in Truth Guarding Mercy over thousands Forgiving crookedness Forgiving transgressions Forgiving sin Punishes sin Visiting crookedness upon the Fathers Visiting crookedness upon the children Visiting crookedness upon the children's children up to the fourth generation

As you can see, there are nine gracious acts of YHVH and four of judgment. The number

four resembles the 'work of the Messiah who will be the Judge d Who will come and judge the earth according to His Word m. Joh_12:48, 1Co_11:13, 2Ti_4:1-8, Heb_10:30, Heb_13:4, Rev_20:15-27

2Ti_4:1-4 In the sight of Elohim and the Master Y’shua Messiah, who shall judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His reign, I earnestly charge you: (2) Proclaim the Word! Be urgent in season, out of season. Reprove,1 warn, appeal, with all patience and teaching. Footnote: 1Or: confute, or prove them wrong. (3) For there shall be a time when they shall not bear sound teaching, but according to their own desires, they shall heap up for themselves teachers tickling the ear,1 Footnote: 1 Isa_30:10, Jer_5:31, Rom_16:18. (4) and they shall indeed turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to myths.

5

The people rebel against these Characteristics of YHVH and have their minds r full of crookedness and man made ways, transgressions and sin. They do not want to hear the truth and rather listen to man made doctrines, tickling their ears. To sit and listen to these dead words, is to rebel against YHVH, His Character and His Word. Listen to the Word, test everything people preach, study the Word and know the Word so that you can discern the Truth from Satan’s lies and doctrines of demons.

1Ti 4:1 But the Spirit distinctly says that in latter times some shall fall away from the belief, paying attention to misleading spirits, and teachings of demons,

Blabber To blabber is to talk about things that need to be concealed, speaking evil of other people, slandering them. Pro_10:18-21 He who hides hatred has lying lips, And he who sends out a slander is a fool. (19) When words are many, Transgression is not absent, But he who restrains his lips is wise. (20) The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; The heart of the wrong is of little value. (21) The lips of the righteous shepherd many, But fools die for lack of heart. Leprosy was known from the time of the Tabernacle, when YHVH dwelled among the Israelites. Before then, there was no record of it on the earth. It is taught by the Sages (teachers), that leprosy came about through unrighteous living, especially sin committed by the tongue. The first occurrence was when Miriam, the sister of Aaron, spoke against Moses, and was struck with leprosy. The word ‘to speak’ is “dawbar” and also means ‘plague’ or ’pestilence’. This is precisely what happened to her, the plague of leprosy came upon her when she slandered Moses, speaking plague. Read Ps 12: Your words are like silver and you should think seven times before speaking one word to make sure that you will only speak the words of YHVH. Psa_12:6 The Words of ‫ יהוה‬are clean Words, Silver tried in a furnace of earth, Refined seven times1. Footnote: 1 Psa_18:30, Psa_119:140, Pro_30:4. Think seven times before you utter one word, then you will not speak plague. You will be judged by every evil word you have uttered.

6

Mat_12:36-37 “And I say to you that for every idle word men speak, they shall give an account of it in the day of judgment. (37) “For by your words you shall be declared righteous, and by your words you shall be declared unrighteous.” This is one of the instructions that is casually broken, not thinking that it will have an effect on our salvation. The tongue is the smallest of all your members, but can set a wild fire alight. Jas 3:5 So too the tongue is a little member, yet boasts greatly. See how a little fire kindles a great forest! Luk 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame. The tongue is to be refined seven times, this is done with a flame as when refining silver. If you do not let your tongue be refined by the fire of the Spirit, your tongue will be refined later in the tormenting flame. Luk 16. Rather let the Spirit do it than the tormenting flame do it. Act 2:3-4 And there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and settled on each one of them. (4) And they were all filled with the Set-apart Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to speak. Mat 10:19-20 “But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it shall be given to you in that hour what you shall speak, (20) for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you. Subject your tongue under the authority of the Spirit so that you will only speak what your Father in heaven wants you to say.

Mixing There was one thing that can cause the hand of YHVH to lift from His people; mixing YHVH’s holy things with pagan things. The first time when mixing occurred in Scripture was when Israel left Egypt (bondage & confusion), went through the Red sea and faced the Mountain. At the mountain, Moses went up for forty days where he received the Ten Commandments. Prior to this, YHVH spoke with His own Voice the Ten Commandments from the burning Mountain and the people heard it from Elohim Himself. During the forty days when Moses went up to receive the two tablets, the congregation decided to have some visible representation of YHVH, so that they could worship Him.

Aaron gathered gold from all the people and made a golden calf, similar to the idols that was in Egypt. Exo 32:2-5 And Aharon said to them, “Take off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” (3) “And all the people took off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aharon. (4) And he took this from their hand, and he formed it with an engraving tool, and made a moulded calf. And they said, “This is your mighty one, O Yisra’ĕl, that brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim (Egypt)!” (5) And Aharon saw and built an altar before it. And Aharon called out and said, “Tomorrow is a festival to YHVH.” YHVH was angry, and told Moses to go down to them and direct the people back to the right way. Exo 32:6-7 And they rose early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. (7) And YHVH said to Moses, “Go, get down! For your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves. The word “corrupted” was first used in Scripture in Gen_6:11

Corrupt - "shachath" -txs - pit, destruction, grave, pit (of Hell), to destroy, corrupt, go to ruin, decay. Corruption is a forerunner of the punishment that was created for it; namely hell. When there is corruption, there will be judgment. After this corruption came the flood of Noah cleansed all that was corrupt. But after the flood Ham committed the first sin and his descendants were cursed. From his descendants came the cursed kingdoms of Babylon and Egypt. Babylon means confusion (by mixing) and Egypt means bondage. These two kingdoms will be where YHVH will gather His people.

YHVH gathered His people out of Egypt but they became corrupted by the ways of Egypt (bondage) by mixing (Babylon) the Egyptian ways with YHVH’s ways. This brought judgment upon His people and all of them that were involved in worshipping the golden calf, died that day. Remember, these people were believers, they celebrated Passover (born again) and left Egypt. Judgment is also for His people, not just for the ungodly. Surely they were sincere in their hearts but they only wanted to worship YHVH in the way they like to worship. This is the problem; if you worship YHVH your way, which is contrary to His Instructions, then you create Babylon (mixing) within His congregation and evoke Him to wrath and Judgment. But Jesus died on the cross so that we can worship Him in freedom through His Spirit. Is this the truth? Do you think that there is a Babylon today and do you think there will be judgment because of man’s corrupt ways? Lets see what the book of Revelation and Ezekiel says:

8

Rev 17:1-5 And one of the seven messengers who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying to me, “Come, I shall show you the judgment of the great whore sitting on many waters,1 Footnote: 1See v. 15. (2) with whom the sovereigns (kings, rulers) of the earth committed whoring, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her whoring.” (3) And he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast covered with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. (4) And the woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup filled with abominations and the filthiness of her whoring,1 Footnote: 1Jer. 51:7. (5) and upon her forehead a name written, a secret: BAḆEL THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE WHORES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. As we all know; Revelation is a book of prophecy written for the people living in the end times. I believe we are living in the end times and that this warning is for us today. Babylon exists today and is the mother of all harlots. If the Mother is Babylon, who are the Daughters? A religious system or church is always referred to as a woman in Scripture. Even we, the people of YHVH, are called the Bride. The systems or daughters of Babylon are religious institutions or churches that follow the guidance of the Mother or Babylon (Mixing). Who is the Mother, is it perhaps the Catholic Church? If you read further on in the book of Revelation, you will see that the angel reveals this woman. She sits on seven hills and the Raman Church is situated on seven hills. She drank the blood of the saints; the Roman Church killed more people in the name of religion than any other institute. I think it is clear who the Mother is and the daughters speak the same words and follow the same doctrines. What are the doctrines, that are non-biblical, that is part of the Roman Catholic Church and most Churches today? Let’s look at a few: Dan 7:25 and it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the set-apart ones of the Most High, and it intends to change appointed times1 and law2, and they are given into its hand for a time and times and half a time. Read in 2 Thess. 2:3-12 about “the lawless one” and the “lawlessness” which would take over (indeed, it has already taken over!) in the set-apart place, and also about Messiah’s judgment upon the lawless “prophets” in Mt. 7:23, and the lawless “believers” in Mt. 13:41! The Mother: 1. She instituted Sunday as the day of worship in staid of the seventh day. In other words; she changed times. 2. They created a new calendar so that the pagan feasts will fall on the same time as the Hebrew feasts and they introduced Easter; a substitute for Passover. They took away all the other festivals and brought in a new feast called Christmas that

9

is in the Sun god’s birthday. If you want to know the origin of Easter and Christmas, read The Two Babylon’s by Bishop. 3. She changed the Laws of YHVH and say that they have the power from God to change it. They changed the Ten Commandments, taking away the second and forth commandment;”…you shall have no graven images…” and “…rest on the Sabbath day, keep it Holy…”

The Daughters: 1. They followed Her and made Sunday their official day of worship in staid of the seventh day. 2. Normally they do not have graven images (except TBN) but they preach that the Law is abolished, taking away the Ten Commandments and the Old Testament is replaced by the New Testament. Some people believe that they can cleanse their decorative images in their homes and make it ‘kosher’, by pleading the blood of Jesus over it. A bit of a gamble I would say, it is better to be conservative than on the wrong side of YHVH, being corrupt. (Watch the DVD ‘Maak skoon jou huis’, if you want to know more about this issue). 3. They follow and do not celebrate the Feasts of YHVH but celebrate Easter and Christmas. There are more things that the Mother does and the Daughters follow and do. This is a complex study on it’s own, but I’m not going into more detail in this teaching. Here are some of the things happening in the system called Babylon according to Ezekiel: Eze_22:25-28 (25) There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of her, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst of her. (26) Her priests have violated my law (Torah – Word), and have profaned my holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shown difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. (27) Her princes in the midst of her are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. (28) And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the YHVH hath not spoken. It is clear in this passage that YHVH is not pleased with His people and there is another piece in Ezekiel that confirms this. Eze 8:5 And He said to me, “Son of man, please lift your eyes toward the north.” And I lifted my eyes northward, and north of the altar gate I saw this image of jealousy in the entrance.

North means hidden, see Gen_13:14 where it is first used in Scripture. Image first used in Scripture Deu_4:16

10

This is a graved image of a human and we all know that the Roman Catholic Church have a statue of Mary through whom they pray to get salvation.

Jealousy first used in Scripture: Num_5:14 On the Northern part of the Altar (steps) there were a image or statue of a woman called the Image of Jealousy. Jealousy is referring back to Num 5:14 where it talks about the jealousy of a man when his wife has been defiled. North represents the hidden treasures which are the people in the nations and YHVH wanted His people to be the light is that they could be gathered but they kept themselves busy with Idolatry in the Holy place of YHVH. His people that do this will be led away by their noses (take into captivity until they repent - winepress - future). Isa_63:3, Lam_1:5, Rev_14:19-20, Rev_19:15 This whole passage is in context where YHVH took Ezekiel by the lock (tassel) Num_15:38 , Eze_8:3 and showed him these things which are to come. The tassel represents those who keep and love, even the smallest Commandment, and they will be the ones that will be lifted up and shown these things to warn the people. This is a prophetic view of the Church in the end times also. They have engraved all the unclean abominable animals and beasts on the walls of the Temple Eze_8:10. Does this have anything to do with people in the Church today eating what they want, defiling their Temple where YHVH is suppose to live? We seen women weeping for Tammuz. Eze_8:14. People are turning their backs on YHVH's Holy things in the inner court of the Temple, worshipping the sun. Eze_8:16. They have put a branch to their nose, Eze_8:17, and will be led away into captivity and YHVH will not hear their cries. If we read on we see that it is definitely the end times Eze_9:4. YHVH send a Cherub to mark the people on their foreheads, all those who mourn and cry over the abominations that take place in the Church. They did not have anything to do with these abominable things and talked against it, mourning and warning the people against it. The scary question is, will you receive the mark on your forehead? Rev_7:3, Rev_9:4. Satan is in control and will reign till the end. The main things are clear here and the world are following her until the end of time. 2Th_2:8 And then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Master shall consume with the Spirit of His mouth and bring to naught with the manifestation of His coming.

We see here that Satan, the lawless one, will be destroyed with Y'shua Himself at His Second Coming as seen in Rev_19:15.

11

Rev_13:3 And I saw one of his heads, as having been slain to death, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the earth wondered (marvelled) after the beast. Isn’t this a scary thought, the whole earth wondered after the beast (religious system created by the Catholic Church). YHVH gave His people a warning and an Instruction for these times: Rev_18:4 And I heard another voice from the heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.1 Footnote: 1 Jer_51:6 & Jer_51:45. Jer_51:6-7 Flee from the midst of Baḇel1, and let each one save his life! Do not be cut off in her crookedness, for this is the time of the vengeance of ‫יהוה‬, the

recompense He is repaying her. Footnote: 1Rev. 18:4. (7) Baḇel was a golden cup in the hand of ‫יהוה‬, making drunk all the earth1. The nations drank her wine, that is why the nations went mad! Footnote: 1Rev. 17:1-18.

Jer_51:45-47 “Come out1 of her midst, My people! And let everyone deliver his being from the burning displeasure of ‫יהוה‬. Footnote: 1Rev. 18:4. (46) “And lest your heart grow faint, and you fear the report heard in the land – for a report shall come one year, and after that, in another year a report shall come, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler – (47) therefore see, the days are coming that I shall bring punishment on the carved images of Baḇel, and all her land shall be put to shame, and all her slain fall in her midst. In Jeremiah 51 it mentioned the ‘carved image of Babel’. This is directly related to the golden calf made in front of the Mountain. The mountain represents YHVH’s instructions and the church today think that they do not need to face the Mountain, that the Law is abolished and that you can go from there, directly to the Promise Land (New Jerusalem). The problem is that you can only go to the Promise Land if you travel through the Wilderness and you need water in the desert (Word or Instructions m) to survive the journey. The water is also for cleanng you from your past life and pagan background found in your culture you grew up in. We all come from a background that there is some sort of mixing that was brought down to us from our forefathers. YHVH wants us to cleanse ourselves from these traditions with His Instructions brought down from Him at the mountain. If you reject the Instructions at the Mountain, you will stay there in the presence of the Golden Calf (Babylon) and be part of the mixing that the Mother of Harlots brought in, and she will be judged when Y’shua comes again. Don’t be part of her so that you do not receive her plagues.

12

The first time Y’shua came, He brought salvation in His blood and cleansing through His water. When He died in the stake (cross), there came blood and water from His side. Not just blood, as the church teaches us today, but water as well. This is His cleansing water or His Instructions He gives us to be able to come out of the system called Babylon. If you reject His Instructions (Torah), you will receive His judgment that will happen on His Second Coming. See also Matt 7:21-23.

Mat 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens. (22) “Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ (23) “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!’1 Footnote: 1 See v. 15. Isa_61:1-3 [The First Coming]The Spirit of the Master ‫ יהוה‬is upon Me, because ‫ יהוה‬has anointed Me to bring good news to the meek. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound, (2) to proclaim the acceptable year of ‫יהוה‬, [The Second Coming] and the day of vengeance of our Elohim, [New Jerusalem] to comfort all who mourn, (3) to appoint unto those who mourn in Tsiyon: to give them embellishment for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. And they shall be called trees of righteousness, a planting of ‫יהוה‬, to be adorned. Isaiah shows us three stages of the Work of the Messiah. First of all, He will come and face the curse of Death and pay the price for sin. Secondly, He will come in His wroth and Judge the earth, and after that, He will come and live with us in the New Jerusalem. Humble yourselves and receive His implanted Word that will save you.

Conclusion: This portion in Num 22 teaches us a valuable lesson on how to live and be blessed and how to shield your selves from the curses of the enemy. 1. Receive with meekness the Word and Instructions of YHVH and do not rebel against Him and His Word. 2. Forgive those who do bad things against you and do not let your heart become bitter. 3. Speak only the truth and the words of YHVH, do not reveal that is supposed to be concealed. Cover each other’s sins in love and do not expose your neighbors’ weaknesses to others. 4. Stand clean and pure before YHVH, cleansing your self from pagan traditions through His Word. Do not allow mixing of YHVH’s ways and pagan traditions in your life because it will be a twig in your nose whereby Satan leads you into captivity.
