of israel set forward and pitched in the plains of moab on this side jordan by jericho and balak the
son of zipor saw all that israel had done to the amorites and moab was sore afraid of the people
because they were many and moab was distressed because of the children of israel and moab said
unto the elders of midian now shall this company look up all that around about us as the ox
licketh up the grass of the field and balak the son of zipor was king of the mobites at that time
he sent messengers therefore unto balam the son of bior to pethor which is by the river of the land
of the children of his people to come saying behold there is a people come out from egypt
behold they cover the face of the earth and they abide over against me come now therefore i pray
thee curse me this people for they are too mighty for me para venture i shall prevail that we may
smite them and that i may drive them out of the land for i want that he whom thou blesses blessed
is blessed and he whom thou cursest is cursed and the elders of moab and the elders of midian
departed with rewards of divination in their hands and they came unto balaam and spake unto him of
the words of balac and he said unto them lodgy here this night and i'll bring you word again
as the lord shall speak unto me and the princes of moab abode with balaam and god came unto balaam
and said what men are these with thee and balaam said unto god balac the son of zippor king of
moab hath sent me unto him saying behold there is a people come out of egypt which covereth the face
of the earth come now curse me them para venture i shall be able to overcome them and drive them
out and god said unto balaam thou shall not go with them thou shall not curse the people for they
are blessed and balaam rose up in the morning and set up to the princes of balac get you into your
land for the lord refuseth to give me leave to go with you and the princes of moab rose up and
they went unto balac and said balam refuseth to come with us and balac sent yet again princes more
and more honorable than they and they came to balam and said to him thus saith balac the son of
zippor let nothing i pray thee hinder thee from coming unto me for i will promote thee unto very
great honor and i will do whatsoever thou say'st unto me come therefore i pray thee curse me this
people and balam answered and said unto the servants of balac if balac would give me his
house full of silver and gold i cannot go beyond the word of the lord my god to do less or more
now therefore i pray you tarry also here is this night that i may know what the lord will say
unto me more and god came unto balam at night and said unto him if the men come to call thee rise up
and go with them but yet the word which i shall say unto thee that shall do and balam rose up in
the morning and saddled his ass and went up with the princes of moab and god's anger was kindled
because he went and the angel of the lord stood in the way for an adversary against him now he
was riding upon his ass and his two servants were with him and the ass saw the angel of the lord
standing in the way and his sword drawn in his hand and the ass turned aside out of the way
and went into the field and balam smoked the ass to turn her into the way but the angel of the lord
stood in a path of the vineyards a wall being on this side and a wall on that side and when the
ass saw the angel of the lord she thrust herself onto the wall and crushed balam's foot against
the wall and he smote her again and the angel of the lord went further and stood in a narrow place
where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left and when the ass saw
the angel of the lord she fell down under balam and balam's anger was kindled and he smoked the
ass with his staff and the lord opened the mouth of the ass and she said unto balam what have i
done unto thee that thou smitten me these three times and balam said unto the ass because thou
has mocked me i would there were a sword in my hand hand for now would i kill thee and the ass
said unto balam am i not thine ass upon which thou has ridden ever since i was thine thine unto this
day was i ever want to do so unto thee and he said nay and the lord opened the eyes of balam
and he saw the angel of the lord standing in the way and his sword drawn in his hand and he bowed
down his head and fell flat on his face and the angel of the lord said unto him wherefore hast thou
smitten thine ass these three times behold i went out to withstand thee because thy way is perverse
before me and the ass saw me and turned from me these three times unless she had turned from me
surely now also i had slain thee and saved her alive and balaam said unto the angel of the lord
i have sinned for i knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me now therefore if it displeased
thee i will get me back again and the angel of the lord said unto balaam go with the men but only
the word that i shall speak unto thee that thou shalt speak so balaam went with the princes of
balaac and when balaac heard that balaam was come he went out to meet him unto a city of moab which
is in the border of arnon which is in the utmost coast and balaac said unto balaam did i not earnestly
send unto thee to call thee wherefore camest thou not unto me am i not able to send to promote thee
to honor and balaam said unto balaac while i'm come unto thee have i now any power to say on
at all to say anything the word that god putteth in my mouth that shall i speak and balaam went
with balaac and they came unto kerjath huzoth and balaac offered oxen and sheep and sent to balaam
and to the princes that were with him and it came to pass on the morrow that balaac took balaam
and brought him up into the high places of baal that thence he might see the utmost part of the
people brother jerry could you press into service amen now you're in numbers 22 can keep a place
there we will leave it and come back to you throughout the sermon going forward to second
peter chapter 2 keep a place in numbers go to second peter chapter 2 this morning i want to
preach a sermon about balaam the sob the son of bosor okay balaam the son of bosor and the word
balaam is mentioned 63 times in the bible and many people know about him because of the talking
donkey but let's do a deep dive on this character also many zionists like to use the story to promote
their false doctrine so i want to debunk it this morning and the story of balaam is primarily
mentioned in numbers 22 23 24 and we'll go over a lot of it this morning but first of all let's take
a look at what the new testament says about balaam because sometimes the new testament sheds more
light on the old testament stories and characters you're in second chapter two look at verse number
14 now the context is talking about the false prophet the bible says second peter 2 14 having
eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin beguiling unstable souls and heart they have
exercised with covetous practices cursed children which have gone which have forsaken the right way
and are gone astray following the way of baleam the son of bosor who loved the wages of
unrighteousness but was rebuked for his for his iniquity the dom as speaking with man's voice
for bad the madness of the prophet these are wells without water clouds that are carried with a
tempest to whom it the midst of darkness is reserved forever so a new testament portrayed baleam
as a false prophet he loved wages of unrighteousness you know the bible even brings up the story of the
talking donkey how the donkey forbade the madness of the prophet that we'll see later in the sermon
go to jude chapter one jude chapter one so baleam the son of bosor loved unrighteousness and you know
the bible uh listed him in you know in a false prophet chapter jude chapter one we'll have verse
number 10 and jude 110 says this but these speak evil of those things which they know not but what
they know naturally as brute beast in those things they corrupt themselves war onto them for they
have gone in the way of king and rang greedily after the error of baleam for reward and perish
and again saying of court so baleam you know i believe that he is a false prophet he's a reprobate
that he was not saved he was greedy right but that's not all go to revelation chapter two
revelation chapter number two look at verse number 12 this is the lord jesus christ speaking to the
seven churches in asia minor revelation chapter two look at verse number 12 the bible says and
to the angel of the church in pergamos right these things said he which had the sharp sword with two
edges i know thy works that's the lord jesus christ speaking i know thy works and where thou
dwellest even where satan's seat is and i'll hold this fast my name and and has not denied my faith
even in those days wherein antipas was was my faithful martyr who was slain among you where
satan dwelleth but i have a few things against thee because thou has there them that hold don't
miss this the doctrine of balaam who taught balek to cast a stumbling block before the children of
israel to eat things sacrifice unto idols and to commit fornication so balaam was not only greedy
you know he was not only a false prophet but he is also idolatrous balaam even calls uh even calls
people to commit fornication he was an immoral person okay so balaam based on the new testament
he was a wicked person he was greedy and we need to keep that in mind when we look at the story
in the book of numbers and we'll look a lot of bible this morning so get ready all right go to
go back to numbers 22 numbers 22 so point number one this morning about balaam the son of bosor is
point number one a covetous prophet a covetous prophet numbers 22 verse number one says this
and the children of israel set forward and pitched in the plains of moab on this side jordan by
jericho so so the children of israel they were almost to the promised land they were right there
okay that's the context verse number two and balek balek was the king of moab and balek the
son of zippor saw all that israel had done to the emirates and moab was so afraid of the people
because they were many and moab was distressed because of the children of of of israel and moab
said unto the elders of midian now shall this company lick up all that are round about us
as the ox licketh licketh up the grass of the field and balek the son of zippor was king of
the moabites at that time he sent messengers therefore unto balem the son of bior to pithor
which is by the river of the land of the children of his people to call him saying behold there's a
people come come out from from egypt behold they cover the face of the earth and they abide over
against me so balek was afraid that israel was going to take over uh moab like they did with all
the other nations so balek called balem to you know curse the people of israel now in verse five
the bible says balem was the son of bior but in the new testament balem was the son of bosor okay
that just you know hebrew versus greek translation it's the same person bior bosor you know the son
of bosor okay okay verse number six come now therefore i pray thee that's balek speaking
to balem curse me this people for they are too mighty for me for adventure i shall prevail that
we may smite them and that i may drive them out of the land for i want that he whom thou blessed
uh blessedest is blessed and he whom thou cursed is cursed so balek the king of moab assumed that
balem has the power to bless or to curse people and he wanted him to curse israel so that moab
won't be taken over by israel look at version seven and the elders of moab and the elders of
meeting departed from the rewards of divination in their hand and they came onto balem and spake
onto him the words of balek notice what war they bring with them you know balek sent people to you
know talk to balem and those people they were bringing rewards of divination and what's balems
main thing greed right love of money but notice the bible does not say you know only the rewards
only the money the bible says rewards of divination that means that they were paying balem to use
divination to curse israel they are they are basically giving him a fee for the occult practices
okay now keep keep a place in uh in this chapter go go to number 24 number 24 let's look at verse
number one number 24 verse number one the bible says and when balem saw that it pleased the lord
to bless israel he went not as at other times don't miss this phrase to seek for enchantments
for his but he set his face toward the wilderness so apparently balem was not only greedy and
immoral and all and just all these kind of things but balem was also into a co-practices
because the people because the people that you know balek sent brought rewards of divination
okay you know that's why i believe that he maybe he was a wizard or some sort that i have no idea
but go back to numbers numbers 22 look at verse number eight numbers 22 verse number eight the
bible says but he balem said unto them lodge here this night and i will bring you word again as the
lord shall speak unto me and the princess of moab a boy with balem and god came unto balem and said
what men are these with thee and balem said unto god balek the son of zip or king the moab had
sent down to me saying behold there is a people come out of egypt which covered the face of the
earth come now curse me them per adventure i shall be able to overcome them and drive them out and
god said unto balem thou shall not go with them thou shall not curse the people for they are blessed
so god told balem hey not to curse israel because the people were blessed again i will come back to
this later but look at verse number 13 and balem rose up in the morning and said unto the princess
of balek get you into your land for the lord refuses to give me leave to go with you and
the princess of moab rose up and they went unto balek and said balem refuses to come with us
and balek sent yet again princess more and more honorable than day and they came to balem and said
and said to him thus saith balek the son of zipor let nothing i pray thee hinder thee from coming
unto me for i will promote thee unto very great honor and i will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me
come therefore i pray thee curse me this people and balem answered and said unto the servants of
balek if balek would if balek would give me his house full of silver and gold i cannot go beyond
the word of the lord my god to do less or more so this passage is pretty interesting because
balem sounds righteous here balek was offering him money right balek was offering him promotion
and now balem was saying that even if balek gave me his houses full of silver and gold he's not
going to go against what god has told him because god told him don't curse the people right you know
money cannot move me and he even said that the lord was his god that's why it's so important to know
the new testament uh that's why it's so important to know what the new testament has to say about
him we know he's greedy right and that's in the context of the story we know that he is a false
prophet we know that he is wicked i think he's pretending to be righteous here he even pretends
to be saved by claiming that the lord was his god right again if you just isolate the story
you will have thought that baleam was righteous baleam was being humble baleam did not want the
money but the new testament clearly said that he was greedy right to me that's not coincidental
because that's that's like a lot of the false prophets nowadays they sound spiritual they claim
they were god's men but inwardly they were wicked and greedy right look at verse 19 now therefore
i pray you tarry you also hear this night that i may know what the lord will say unto me more
and god came unto baleam that night and said unto him if the man shall if the man come to call thee
rise up and go with them but yet the word which i shall say unto thee that shall thou do so what
did god told baleam if the man told you call you to go with them just just just like go with him
but remember don't curse israel okay look at verse 21 and baleam rose up in the morning and
saddled his ass and went with the princess of moab baleam went with them and god's anger was
kindled uh because he went and the angel of the lord stood in the way for an adversary against him
now he was riding upon his ass and his two servants were with him now you might be confused
because in verse 20 god said if they told you to go with them go with them but then in verse 21
he went with them and god was mad at him for going with them in verse 22 right you might be confused
but but like to me if you look at the wording the bible never said that the man called him to go
because because the instruction of god is if those men called you to go with them then go with them
but the bible just said that he just went with them right they did not call him why did he go
for the rewards he wants the money even if even if he said on the surface that he did not want
the money right again very deceptive and false prophets are marked by covetousness
let me let me read to you again second page chapter two verse number three and through
covetousness shall they with faint words fake words make merchandise of you whose judgment now
of a long time lingereth not and their damnation slumbereth not see false prophets love to talk
you know talk they don't want the money they are you know they are they are just blessed by God
right but inwardly they want money they want private jets right they want all these mansions
right just like valem so point number one we saw a covetous prophet point number two a constrained
prophet a constrained prophet look at numbers 22 verse 22 again numbers 22 verse 22 and God's
anger was kindled because he went and the angel the Lord stood in the way for an adversary against him
now he was riding upon his ass and his two servants were with him now keep a place in the
book of numbers go to Genesis 21 Genesis chapter 20 Genesis 20 and here we can learn a lesson that
sometimes God restrains or intervenes people from committing sins because in Numbers 22
God was mad that Balaam went with them and God sent the angel of the Lord in the way for an
adversary against him okay so God was stopping him from doing what he's about to do look at
Genesis chapter 20 look at verse number one let me show you another story on the same line
the Bible says and Abraham journey from thence toward the south country and dwell between Kadesh
and Shur and sojourn in Gira and Abraham said of Sarah his wife she is my sister and Abimelech
king of Gira sent and took Sarah so technically Abraham did not lie by saying Sarah was his sister
but he was telling a half truth his intent was to save his own life right that's why she was
that's why Abraham told Abimelech hey Sarah was my sister because he was afraid of his own life
okay look at verse number three but God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him
behold thou art but a dead man for the woman which thou hast taken for she is a man's wife
but Abimelech had not come near her and he said Lord would thou slay also a righteous nation
said he not unto me she is my sister and she even even she herself said he is my brother
in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I have I done this and God said unto
him in a dream yea I know that thou this this in the in the integrity of thy heart don't miss this
for I also withheld thee from sinning against me therefore suffer I thee not to touch her so
Abraham has told a half truth causing Abimalek to take Sarah and God intervened him from sinning
right that's why God appeared to Abimalek in a dream to withhold him from sinning against God
because sometimes God restrains or even intervenes people from committing sins go to second Samuel
chapter 25 second Samuel chapter 25 second Samuel chapter 25 now the context was that David was on
his way to kill Nabal who was a wicked person and God based on the account of David God sent Abigail
to stop that first Samuel 25 look at verse 32 first Samuel 25 verse 32 the Bible says
and David said to Abigail blessed be the Lord God of of Israel which sent thee this day to meet me
and blessed be thy advice and blessed be thou which has kept me this day from coming to shed
blood and from avenging myself with my own hand for in very deed as the Lord God of Israel liveth
which hath kept me from hurting thee except thou hast hasted and come to meet me surely there had
not been left unto Nabal by the morning light at any that pisses against the wall so David was on
his way to kill Nabal and God sent Abigail just to stop that to prevent him from shedding blood
okay and then in the and then in the story in second king chapter 19 the Assyrian army
surrounded Jerusalem and God restrained wrath by sending an angel and killed 185,000 Assyrians
right in in the book of Job God allows Satan to test Job but God also set boundaries right
God told Satan hey only upon him put not forth thine hand so even Satan himself operates on a
leash okay go to psalm 76 psalm 76 because sometimes God restrains or even intervenes
people from committing sins psalm 76 look at verse number 10 psalm 76 verse number 10 the
Bible says this surely the wrath of man shall praise thee the remainder of wrath shall thou
restrain so God in his infinite wisdom may choose to refrain some wrath or evil and this is not as
mystical as it sounds I'm sure some of you have heard stories or you have personally experienced
situations like this and you know things may look ordinary like a missed flight a delayed meeting
a sudden traffic jam that prevents you from getting a car wreck right a cancelled appointment a car
that won't start a job rejection that later proves to be protective I mean a relationship that falls
apart before greater harm happens right things like that may happen may look ordinary but we
have heard stories like that and you know I'm sure that you have personally encountered situations
like that right you know by the way this is not Calvinism okay I'm not teaching Calvinism saying
God sometimes restrains evil is not the same it's not the same as saying God controls every human
choices and determines every sin and man is still responsible for everything they do but sometimes
God intervenes okay and God did not force Balaam to want greed God did not force Balaam to be
wicked God simply blocked his path that is intervention not determinism okay very very
different go back to Numbers 22 Numbers 22 I'm going to skip the skip the part with the talking
donkey but the Bible says in second Peter chapter 2 verse number 16 but was rebuked for for his
iniquity the dumb ass speaking with man's voice for bad the man is of the prophet so God clearly
used the donkey to you know intervene Balaam right the Bible says that you know the dumb ass for bad
the man is of the prophet you are in Numbers 22 look at verse 31 Numbers 22 verse 31 the Bible
says then the Lord opened the uh opened the eyes of Balaam and he saw the angel of the Lord standing
in the way and his sword joined in his hand and he bowed down his head and fell flat on his face
and the angel of the Lord said unto him wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times
behold I went out to domestic withstand thee so so so it's clearly an intervention
because thy way is perverse before me and the ass saw me and turned from me these three times
unless she had turned from me surely now also I have slain thee and saved her alive and Balaam
said unto the angel of the Lord I have sinned for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against
me now therefore if it displeases thee I will get me back again again this is deceptive if you don't
read the New Testament you may think Balaam was truly repentant Balaam repented of his sin
just like Judas did right notice what he confesses Balaam does not say I sin by loving greed I sin by
resisting God's will he says I sinned because I did not see the angel notice that I have sinned
for I knew now that thou stoodest in the way against me Balaam's confession is technical and
situational right that's not sincere you know he's really saying he's basically saying that
I'm sorry I got caught right he was not truly repentant that's why you know you have to read
the bible in his whole context and that again fits the pattern of of false prophets because false
prophets can say the right words they can even admit small small sins small faults they may sound
humble even the pressure but they are still motivated by greed right the bible says they
have faint words fake words fluff words look at verse 35 and the angel of the lord said unto Balaam
go with the man but only the words that I shall speak unto thee that thou shall speak so Balaam
went with the princess of Balaam so point number one we saw a covetous prophet point number two
we saw a constrained prophet point number three a cunning prophet a cunning prophet look at numbers
23 verse number five numbers 23 verse number five the bible says this and the lord put the word in
in Balaam's mouth and said return unto Balaam and thus thou shall speak and that's that's another
lesson that we can learn from this is sometimes god uses wicked people and even speaks through them
all right jump on to verse number 16 numbers 23 verse number 16 and the lord met Balaam and put
a word in his mouth and said go again unto Balak and say this and sometimes god uses wicked people
and even speaks through them keep your place in the book of numbers go to first Samuel chapter 19
first Samuel chapter 19 just because god is speaking through Balaam that that does not make
Balaam righteous and we just need to acknowledge that sometimes god uses wicked people for his
purpose and that does not mean that god approves them or that they are righteous people it does
not mean god's endorsement okay because sometimes god does use wicked evil people let me show you
some other examples of this first Samuel chapter 19 look at verse 23 that's talking about king saw
king saw was backslidden at uh at this point first Samuel chapter 19 look at verse 23 and he
talked about saw went there to naoth in rama and the spirit of god was upon him also and he went
on and prophesied until he came to naoth in rama and he stripped off his clothes also and prophesied
before samuel in like manner and laid down naked all that day and all that night wherefore they say
saw also among the prophets now i understand that saw was saved but saw was wicked at that point
right and god still used him despite of saw's wickedness despite of saw's sin and you know
and saw prophesied because because the spirit of god was upon him go to matthew chapter 10
matthew chapter 10 so so saw was a wicked saved person example let me give you a reprobate example
okay matthew chapter 10 look at verse number one matthew chapter 10 verse number one matthew 10 one
the bible says and when he jesus had called unto him his 12 disciples he gave them power against
unclean spirits to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease
who did jesus christ give power to heal people the 12 he gave them plural right look at verse number
two now the names of the 12 12 apostles are these the first simon who is called peter and
andrew his brother james the son of zebedee and john his brother philip and bartholomew thomas
and matthew the publican james the son of alpheus and libius whose surname was stadius simon the
king knight and judas is garrett who also betrayed him i think you know i think i can prove that
pretty solidly right and god sometimes use wicked people even even the person who was a devil from
the very beginning for his purpose right god gave judas is scary who was clearly a reprobate the
power to cast out unclean spirits because sometimes god uses wicked people for his purpose
but that does not mean god's endorsement go to john chapter 11 and john chapter 11 look at verse
49 john 11 49 john chapter 11 verse 49 by the way judas was clearly unsaved right and god still
used him john 11 verse 49 by the way judas didn't get anyone saved okay even if god did give him
power to cast out unclean spirits okay because you have to have the spirit of god john 11 look
at 49 uh john 11 verse 49 and one of them named kaiaphas by the way kaiaphas led the plot to kill
jesus being the high priest that same year said unto them you know nothing at all nor considered
that it is it is it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people and that the whole
nation perish not and this spake he not of himself but being high priest that year he prophesied that
jesus christ should die for that nation hey even a false prophet even a wicked person can prophesy
can speak good things right and you know again that's what false prophets are like they can preach
truth from time to time they can quote spirit they can quote the bible accurately they can say
powerful things they can even cast out devils that sounds familiar right you know and and you know
false prophets can even be used to bless people but inwardly they love money they seek influence
and they harbor corruption right that's why you can not only you can not only look at the outside
right so and you can apply this principle to both the saved and the unsaved because
the overarching truth is this effective effectiveness is not the same as faithfulness
Joe Holstein may say some good and right things but inwardly he is a wolf right inwardly he is
cunning just like Balaam he is a cunning prophet a saved person may be blessed or even used by God
but that does not automatically mean that he is righteous maybe it's because of God's mercy maybe
it's because of God's unknown purpose because because if God can you know use wicked people
like Balaam and Judas and give him power maybe God sometimes showed extra mercy to save people as
well right that's why i don't think you can purely look at the soul winning number and just decide
whether a pastor or a church is righteous although that can be one of the main indicators okay because
it could mean because it could be that they were in a more receptive area maybe because they have
more soul winners maybe they are a bigger church right maybe it's because of God's mercy maybe God
withholds his judgment because because of their faithfulness in the past because we see stories
in the bible that God delay his judgment right many people in many people in europe are doing
double the amount of soul winning okay very few people say but that does not mean that they are
bad people right that's why we cannot only look on the outside okay i don't want us to get the
idea that just because we have so many salvations that means everything we do is right that is a
prideful attitude okay nobody's perfect even if God blesses us for so many salvations and just you
know a great church hey everyone still need to get our sins out of our life right because
God is merciful right God can kill you right now but God chooses not to don't get the idea because
God is blessing you that means everything you do is right you know don't have that attitude
go back to Numbers chapter 23 Numbers 23 look at verse number six Numbers 23 verse number six
the Bible says and he Balaam returned unto him Balak and lo he stood by his burnt sacrifice he
and all the princes of Moab and he took up his parable and said Balaak the son of Moab has
brought me from Aram out of the mountains of the east saying come curse me Jacob and come defy
Israel how shall I curse whom God hath not cursed or how shall I defy whom the Lord hath not defiled
so Balaam here you know spoke the word that God has told him to speak right that's why a false
prophet can't even preach the word of God that's why they are so deceptive you need to look at
their whole ministry just because they are saying the right things doing some miracles does not mean
that they are good people don't assume they believe in faith alone and and just think that
they are automatically saved right ask them clarification questions right in the same way
don't assume that people are false prophets just because they say that you have to repent of your
sins because people may define things differently right don't blindly assume people don't just base
off a passage doctrine from a doctrinal statement because many times they copy and paste okay by
the way I'm gonna skip the rest of chapter 23 but basically Balak tried to get Balaam to curse
Israel a couple more times and he refused go to Numbers 25 Numbers 25 so point number one
a covetous prophet point number two a constrained prophet point number three a cunning prophet point
number four a corrupting prophet a corrupting prophet Numbers 25 verse one the Bible says and
Israel abode in Shittim and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab
and they called the people unto sacrifice of their idols and the people did eat and bow down to their
gods what were they doing they were committing idolatry they were eating food sacrifice onto
idols verse number three and Israel joined himself unto Baal Peor and the anger of the
Lord was kindled against Israel let me read to you revelation 214 the Bible says because thou has
there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam who taught Balaam to cast a stomping block before the
children of Israel to eat things sacrificed unto idols and to commit fornication that is you know
what Balaam did Balaam corrupts people and false prophets always corrupt people and they are
usually immoral people just look like just look at Martin Luther King right immoral people
communists you know false prophet right and then Saint Peter the Bible says they you know they have
their eyes full of adultery because false prophets tend to be immoral people and and here Balaam
calls people to commit to commit adultery as well as fornication look at verse number nine
number 25 verse number nine and those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand
because of the doctrine of Balaam twenty four thousand people died because of it that's why
false prophets are damning people right they are corrupting people go to Numbers 31 Numbers 31
look at verse 16 Numbers 31 verse number 16 the bible says behold these talking about the
Midianites these caused the children of Israel through the counsel of Balaam to commit trespass
against the lord in the matter of Peor that's Baal-Peor and there was a plague among the
congregation of the lord now therefore kill every male among the among the little ones and kill
every woman that had known man by lying with him so here is so interesting about Balaam Balaam did
not curse Israel outwardly but Balaam corrupts Israel inwardly see that Balaam you know he like
talked right he talked the right things he even preached the right words that God gave him but
inwardly he has corrupted he has corrupted Israel and God killed 24 000 people because they were
into the the era of Balaam right they may say positive and good things but their real intention
is to corrupt you that's why we should stay far away from the false prophets that's why
you should stay away from the positive only preachers because Balaam only say positive
things on the outside but inwardly he's clearly corrupting people right and we should stay away
from the pastors who only talk about the positive things on the outside but inwardly they are full
of corruptions so what's the end of Balaam look at verse number seven number 31 verse number seven
and they were against the Mennonites as the Lord commanded Moses and they slew all the males and
they slew the kings of Midian beside the rest of them that were slain namely Levi and Recom and
Zer and Hur and Reba five kings of Midian Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword
Balaam died physically and and you know based on second Peter the Bible says to whom the mist of
darkness is reserved forever false prophet their end is death eternal death in hell go back to
Numbers 22 Numbers chapter 22 so I said point number one a covetous prophet point number two
point number one a covetous prophet point number two a constrained prophet point number three
a cunning prophet and point number four a corrupting prophet lastly point number five
a covenant fulfilled a covenant fulfilled Numbers 22 look at verse number 12 Numbers 22 verse 12
and God said unto Balaam thou shall not go with them thou shall not curse the people for they are
blessed so God told him not to curse the people people of Israel because the people are blessed
right the Bible is clear on that now go to Numbers 24 Numbers 24 look at verse number two Numbers 24
verse number two the Bible says and Balaam lift up his eyes and he saw Israel abiding in his tents
according to their tribes and the spirit of God came upon him look at verse number nine he couched
he laid down as a lion and as a great lion who shall stir him up blesses he that blesses thee
and curses he that curses thee and we cannot do away with the Bible okay we must we must approach
every verse honestly and I get that uh and I you know fully comprehend that Genesis chapter 12
is talking about Abraham singular if you bless Abraham you will be blessed but I do believe in
this passage it is referring to Israel as a whole because in Numbers 22 God told uh God told Balaam
hey don't curse the people for they are blessed plural okay and we cannot do away with clear
scriptures and Zionists would love you know going to those passages and promote their
doctrine they will say that the children of Israel were blessed so if you curse them you will be
cursed and personally I was called a wolf by a militant Zionist last week okay and uh and I
posted this on Facebook anyone who supports leveling the Middle East is wicked and evil
they don't care about the lust they don't care about the gospel they worship Israel who is not
even God's chosen people they reject the Lord Jesus Christ the Bible calls them the synagogue
of Satan militant Zionists are cancer to Christianity and the world they don't they
don't understand the Bible they consume their time in Fox News but but forget about the first
works I said compromised Christians will say things like but Iran poses a threat
Iran targets Christians Iran oppresses women Iran is full of corruptions then why doesn't
America attack Israel then because they are the same thing right so and then and then we have a
lady named Cheryl Campbell and that's what she commented you know responding to my post it's
hard to tell false churches led by wolves in sheep's clothing these days but when they make
it easy I genuinely appreciate it one day God will deal with these wolves and it means that they have
no understanding of eschatology either for Israel or the church and if you are sitting in a church
like the above you need to leave okay so that's pretty extreme right you know apparently I'm a
wolf in sheep's clothing that you know you guys need to leave this church but we have to answer
the question why did not why didn't God allow Balaam to curse Israel tell my will to Galatians
chapter three Galatians chapter three by the way this actually proves our side not theirs
because Israel was God's chosen people back in the days they were a covenant people they were
blessed because they were part of the Abrahamic covenant back in the days however they are no
longer God's chosen people anymore that actually proves our side okay and the Lord Jesus Christ
even said the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation bring forth the fruits
thereof the covenant was fulfilled in Christ and all saved Christians are part of this covenant
Galatians three look at verse number 16 Bible says now to Abraham and his seed what a promise
is made he said not and two seeds as of many but but as of one and two thy seed which is Christ
so who is the ultimate seed of Abraham the lord Jesus Christ right look at verse 28 there's
neither Jew nor Greek there's neither bond nor free there's neither male nor female for you are
one in Christ Jesus and if he be Christ then are you Abraham seed and heirs according to the promise
the only way for you to be part of you know the family of God this chosen nation is to be in Christ
is because you are saved that means that if you are a Jew who who doesn't believe in Christ then
you are not Abraham seed that means you are not part of the chosen people right because the chosen
nation was a physical nation back in the old back in the old testament but now we are an holy nation
which in time past were not the people but now the people of God that means you know the chosen
people of God have switched from a physical nation to a spiritual nation made up of all believers
go to Romans chapter two Romans chapter number two so so why didn't God allow Balaam to curse
Israel because they were God's chosen people back in the days and they were no longer God's
chosen people anymore so that argument actually helps our side okay Romans chapter two look at
verse 28 Romans chapter two verse 28 the Bible says for he is not a Jew which is one outwardly
neither is that circumcision which is our in the flesh but he is a Jew which is one inwardly and
circumcision is that of the heart in the spirit because of the spiritual nation and not in the
letter it's no longer a physical nation whose praise is not a man but of God go to Romans chapter
nine Romans chapter nine you know obviously I can go to many verses but let me just let me just show
you some of the highlights Romans nine six Romans nine six not as though the word of God has taken
none effect for they are not all Israel which are of Israel just because they just just just because
they are from physical Israel doesn't mean they they doesn't mean they are truly you know belonging
to Israel right they're not the Israel of God verse number seven neither because they are the
seed of Abraham are they all children but in Isaac shall thy seed be called that is they which are
the children of the flesh physically these are not these are not the children of God but the
children of the promise spiritually are counted for the seed how many verses do you need folks
i mean the bible literally says just because you are a physical seed that does not make you a child
but if you are saved if you are a child of the promise you are the seed okay and since the chosen
people nowadays is a spiritual nation made up of all believers you should not curse the spiritual
nation either and that's not talking about individuals okay but a covenant blessing based
on the bible because think about this why do you want to wish uh harms on the chosen people of god
normal people don't desire that right only wicked people who you know actually hate god
want to incite violence on christians by the way that's also different from calling out sins
because you know even though israel was god's chosen people back in the days the prophets
still preach against their sins right even the new testament you know paul rebuke the churches
jesus rebuke peter and we are supposed to deliver certain people uh certain people onto satan for
their flesh to be destroyed but what's the purpose restoration right but nobody should wish divine
wrath and curse on the chosen people of god because if they do that they'll be cursed by god right i'm
talking about you know those reprobates who who you know actually want us dead they'll be cursed
by god amen i'm talking about the muslims who want to wipe out all christians they'll be cursed by
god i'm talking about some jews who hate the lord jesus christ who who is the seed of abraham they
believe jesus christ is boiling in hot excrement in hell hey they will be cursed by god because
they actually curse the chosen seed of abraham right and yes i'm anti-judaism because judaism
is an anti-christ religion they curse the lord jesus christ they curse the chosen people they
curse the chosen seed and they will be cursed by the way i don't hate all jews i want jews to be
safe but judaism is wicked i know all false religions are wicked but at least buddhism
and hinduism don't blaspheme jesus even though even though muslims believing a different jesus
at least they think he's a good teacher but how can zionist justify supporting a a nation that
literally hates jesus right that doesn't make any sense to me you know judaism is worse than
islam buddhism hinduism because at least they don't hate jesus can i go to uh go to second
chronicles 19 second chronicles 19 let me read to you first that's loin chapter 2 verse number 14
first that's in chapter 2 verse number 14 for you brethren became followers of the church of the
churches of god which in judaea are in christ jesus for you also have suffered like things of your
own countrymen even as they have of the jews so the bible has no problem to generalize a whole
people group right even as they have of the jews who both who both killed the lord jesus
and their own prophets and have persecuted us and they please not god and our country to all men
forbidding us to speak to the gentiles that they might be saved to fill up their sins all the way
for the wrath has come upon them to the uttermost okay because the jewish nation have brought the
curse upon themselves for killing jesus right the bible says it's the jews okay by the way you know
that that's not to say all jews are wicked but the bible does generalize the whole people group in
killing jesus okay and you know to me it's so hilarious because even if people still believe
that the jews are still god's chosen people how do they justify supporting them when they want to
level up the middle east like even if they are just like just like pretend the jews are still
god's chosen people right god told baleam not to curse israel but in members 25 god killed 24 000
people for idolatry and fornication so even if they are god's chosen people now they are still
wicked right and you know god is not mocked their their days are coming okay and i'm so sick of the
christians who like talk like nazis who want to commit genocide christians will talk like nazis
who want to commit ethnic cleansing they want to wipe out the muslim nations i think it's so
interesting that a zionist accused us for being nazis they project too much you know i'm sick of
the christians who you know act like the catholics who want to start a holy war just because they
believe differently you know christians who talk like the muslims who want to start a jihad against
everyone who's against israel you know what those people are satanic i saw people online joking
about wiping out iran and other nations those people are sick and perverse san chronicle 19
local version number two san chronicles 19 verse two and jihoo the son of hanani the seer went out
to meet him and said to king jihoshaphat shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the
lord therefore is wrath upon thee from before the lord see israel as a nation they are ungodly why
are we helping them why are we bring god's wrath on you know ourselves right and you know the
bible says don't bid them godspeed if they deny christ is coming to flesh okay and you know i
don't believe everything that tucker carson said but he said some profound statement last week i
think uh let me just give uh give you this statement how could an american christian
or any christian call for the building of a temple whose presence whose inherent presence denies
christ who said clearly and christians believe this it's a core point of faith i am the temple
so why are we founding the anti-christ temple whose inherent presence denies christ you know
don't worry about the real temple locations you are the temple i'm the temple zero okay don't just
speculate temple locations you are all temples okay but i also posted this on facebook sorry i'm
bent on x that's why i'm that's why i've been unleashing on facebook it is interesting to me
that many of the most militant zionist voices are not out so winning they speak passionately
about military actions in the middle east online and behind the pulpit but they are not following
christ's command to be fishers of man in my own experience i have spoken with muslims at the door
who will turn off to the gospel because because of what they perceive as christian zionism they
assume that every christian hates them and and supports violence against them that's why i
believe zionism is satanic since it hinders people from getting saved our our priority should always
be centered around the gospel we want muslims to be saved we want christ rejecting jews to be
saved we want people and souls to be saved to me it's so funny that most christians who are
against us for our belief on zionism sodomites immigration death penalties are the same christians
who never go so winning who's more loving i actually want the murderers to be saved before he gets to
before he's put to death physically i actually want the illegal immigrants to be saved before
he gets deported i actually want the muslim to be saved i actually want the jews to be saved that's
why i preach against zionism by the way you cannot be against anti-seminism while preaching zionism
right because we want the jews to be safe okay and those people can post their you know racist
zionist crap all they want they can watch fox news all they want they can call me a wolf all they
want they can refuse to fellowship with me all they want they can have their own clicks all they
want they can trash talk about me all they want but they are the enemies of the cause of christ
so i said point number one a a covetous prophet point number two a constrained prophet point
number three a cunning prophet point number four a corrupting prophet and point number five a covenant
fulfilled so i hope you learned something about baleam this morning he is a wicked false prophet
he may speak good things and god has used him but he's clearly wicked and we need to be careful not
to be sucked into corruptions okay and lastly we do not support the modern nation of israel we love
the real israel of god we bless the real israel of god we bless jesus we love jesus and we actually
love souls and i hope more muslims will be saved i hope more jews will be saved let's go soul winning
amen that's closing i want to pray thank you all for your work and thank you for the story of baleam
well i pray that we'll be aware of the false prophets and also the false doctrine of zionism
well i pray that more jews and muslims and buddhists and hindus will be saved well i
pray that you'll use us tremendously for your work and i pray this in jesus name amen amen
