OK, I’m not going to make any friends for this one, but whatever Balaam prophesied, because he revered many gods at once, the Lord Jesus had to step in. This first prophecy he made mentions that one day Jacob would number in the millions (see Hebrews 11:12) and so it happened, even though Israel was thinned down repeatedly, largely due to the paganism they’d pull off later, and especially because they had the Romans crucify Jesus (see Luke 19:41-44) — the Lord God has no delight in retribution in any era, including this one. This passage is found in page 93 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, page 119 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 189-190 of my VOICE copy, and page 193 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
Balaam had to have consented for God to make His Name known to Moab one way or another, for without the consent He asked him for, these four prophecies in this book 📖 🤔 the Lord Jesus isn’t One to interfere with someone’s free-will, or as I can call it, autonomy, which He had made for every human being in the first place. Yet too many people in a huge amount of churches teach that free-will doesn’t exist, and if it did, it’s never good 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 the fact there’s not enough good people for the Church to really be healthy or even function in accordance with any godliness… I’m really disheartened with what the evil one had done, and since it basically switched sides almost as soon as Scripture was completed after Revelation was finished (how did it get out of Patmos?) — I want the churches ⛪️ to cultivate safety and lift others’ well-being… but there’s not enough godliness in the world, and compromise is rich in probably every community, including the Trump camps, especially — by now, this has infested just about every nook and cranny of the entire planet, and no one can turn the tide for any of it. I don’t even know if someone’s going to like this post, but it doesn’t have to be a big number; if even one presses the like button, I’ll love it 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💖❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 I can’t promise I’d do anything with them, though — I don’t have much to go on, but I may be able to pay my rent in a few weeks even if I don’t get into my savings again 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇 I do want to share some lovely images of YouTube screeenshots on here for them, though. I wonder if they’ve been to an actual place on a livestream of gorgeous scenery I’ve watched like Bora Bora or Aruba? But whatever… most people can’t afford getting to any of these places even for one night, and safety doesn’t always mean being civilised, but being civilised isn’t the same as safety, which is something I never thought of before.
I think I went on another rant about how sin has been worshiped and even enforced in some circles again… sorry to do that to you 😔😔😔😔😞😞😞😞 I guess I can’t help but snap when I noticed something even in the Scriptures about anything profaning God’s holy Name. And when I try not to say anything, something starts to flare up in my bones; I can’t hold it in (like in Jeremiah 20:9). But it’s wild that Balaam predicted Jacob having millions of descendants living at the same time (I don’t know why he mentioned for him to have a good end; he must’ve tried to trick Jesus). Yet Deuteronomy 7:7 mentions that Jacob was the fewest of all peooles in those days — by contrast, the U.S. Caucasians are bigger than all other people groups on Earth except for the Han Chinese. I think their people groups takes up about 2/3rds of the people living there… at least, though, Christianity is more authentic in China 🇨🇳 😉 I mean, persecution happens often, and I pray for safety for all the Jesus-lovers there, but if someone’s willing to repent and follow Jesus as they did, that’s awesome! Too bad they may not be able to find a church that honours Him, though… I don’t know. It’s all about love that’s willing to break down every fear, akin to someone shattering the glass if they drive through a huge window 🪟 but it’s not fair if we live recklessly, for the song “Reckless Love” by Cory Asbury doesn’t mean we should be brash or insane. Yet if we look like fanatics, it’s all for Jesus, Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5:13. He did mention many thing about being sensible, though… it’s all about a fair balance between the two. I don’t know what that looks like for you, but that’s OK. Tomorrow, I’ll be back with Balaam’s second prophecy…
