I’m amazed at how I haven’t been targeted by those in power for my comments on how they falsify Jesus 24/7, but here, we see a great oracle from someone who doesn’t even recognise Him! This passage is found in page 94 of the NKJV Bible I have for for four-translation project, pages 120-121 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 191-192 of my VOICE copy, and pages 194-195 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
It’s pretty wild that not only did a sorcerer predict Jesus’ birth (verse 17), as Matthew 2:2 would later testify, but he got no response from Balak out of this, for they went their separate ways after this. But I don’t want to talk about either one of those two guys, for I think it’s awesome that a foreigner predicted Jesus’ birth here, yet the star is really Jupiter with a conjuction of a different planet and probably a background star, according to astronomers, I guess. I barely remember what Tom had said in the Christmas Eve 2017 service years back, I don’t know much else. I wish I could’ve had that on camera! Maybe I wrote it down somewhere? I can’t tell… but whatever the case, the Holy Spirit had made it so that Jesus would lead three wise men from modern-day Iraq to worship Jesus, for these three had relied on Daniel’s writings that he had made in the 6th century B.C., with the prophet having spent most of his time in Babylon before Belshazzar was killed because of his arrogance and foolishness (Daniel 5 tells the story). More prophecies about Jesus’ birth will occur later, even from Moses himself, like in Deuteronomy 18:15 (and also verse 18, as Peter mentions in Acts 3:22 after Jesus ascends back to Heaven). Other prophets would mention this, too (Acts 3:24).
I’m not really sure Balaam had truthfully predicted the destruction of three different nations in Numbers 24:20-24, though. Indeed, the VOICE translation says the meaning of the Hebrew in verse 23 where it says, “Who will remain alive when God does this?” is uncertain, and I don’t know why… it may be because the writing was unclear even to the linguistic experts they had 🙃🫠 but chaos soon follows, as I had mentioned in the previous post, which had come from the third prophecy in Peor. I’ll put my bowtie pasta and chorizo in the fridge before I write that, though, since I cooked it over three hours ago and is now getting cold 😅
