Gilbert House Fellowship #307: Numbers 22-23

A DONKEY displayed more discernment and wisdom than a man whose fame as a seer and prophet was renowned in the Jordan River valley for centuries.This week, we begin the story of Balaam son of Beor, hired by the Balak, the king of Moab, to curse Israel. We discuss God’s warning to Balaam, the identity of the Angel of YHWH, Balak’s changes of venue as he tried to find a more effective place for Balaam to cast his curse, and the Deir Alla inscription, which is solid evidence from outside the Bible that Balaam was a real person. To watch our episode of Unraveling Revelation about Balaam’s prophecy of the death of the gods, a preview of our next study on Numbers 24, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4INCKqx3ZoY——————Join us in Israel!
