Ron And His Stories

Anyone noticing a pattern here? I found four references of a soothing aroma (verses 2, 6, 8, and 13 (VOICE, NASB)), and I remember years ago, when I first wrote notes 📝 📋 in an NRSV Bible, that Genesis 8:21 was referenced again and again in the Pentateuch, and now, we’re already over 140 chapters into the Scriptures. However, this has taken several years for me to accomplish, for I don’t have a lot of good ideas on what to write in most of the first 17 books of the Bible — but this chapter is found in page 97 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, pages 123-124 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 195-196 of my VOICE copy, and pages 199-200 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

There’s more offerings mentioned in this chapter and the next, plus, there’s more vows after that (all from what I can gauge (did I spell that correctly?) in the NKJV), so I’m doing this in three parts, but I’m not going to say much in any of them, for I remember Romans 12:1 saying we get to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to God through Jesus, now, and we shouldn’t worship Bible studies, either, but live out the commandments of Jesus (see John 13:34-35 and 14:15). Indeed, it’s impossible for the blood of cattle and goats 🐐 to take away sins (Hebrews 10:4), nor can a lamb 🐑 do the trick, unless it’s Jesus, of course, but I don’t want to force anything down your throat 😇😇😇😇😇 there’s always something new to learn from the Scriptures, though. But whoever preaches a different gospel, using a passage like this, exploits truth itself and incurs condemnation (Galatians 1:8-9).

This is my second post today, and I don’t want to spend much time on it, since I’m getting hungry but can’t go anywhere because of my sickness 🫩😷🤒 plus, it’s TOO FREAKING HOT!! (I haven’t been outside Arizona since early 2013.) I guess I’ll have to cook something or order carry-out 😅😅 I’ll see you in the next one!

In Christ,

Ron Outland

There’s a LOT to unpack here, like verse 11, where Korah’s descendants didn’t die with him (read Numbers 16:1-35 for the story), probably because of the fsct a young generation doesn’t need to bear the sins of their ancestors. I know I didn’t need that. And now that I’m 35 and my oldest niece is 8 years old, I want to do good to all of them 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 I hope they can enjoy Jesus one day 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝 I can’t wait to see them again 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 also, a guy named Zelophehad has five daughters and no sons (mentioned in verse 33), so the next chapter covers that, but I won’t get into it today. Verses 59-60 also mention Levi’s descendants and how Moses, Aaron, and Miriam were born. But verse 61 references Leviticus 10:1-2 where it talks about the strange fire two of Aaron’s sons had offered. This chapter is found in pages 95-96 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, pages 121-123 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 193-194 of my VOICE copy, and pages 196-198 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I still can’t get over the fact that times have sadly changed from the time the note in chapter 25 was written (the VOICE translation came out in 2012), and I want to restore acceptance of good diversity, but it’s a team effort, and it takes all of us to end racism. So sadly, there won’t be a lot of people who love the other humans who more or less look different than me, even if they were born here. And I remember I lived with a friend of mine of Korean descent not that long ago… but it’s nice that there’s still a huge amount of people numbered in Israel in this chapter, not just the guys who were able to go to war, but the women and children with them, yea, those not yet 20 years old. Judah was the largest, so that’s really saying something about Jesus eventually being descended from them, as Matthew 1:1-17 explains (see also Hebrews 7:14). Korah had been descended from Levi, and his descendants eventually wrote some of the psalms, which is great! Indeed, Psalm 46 is a good one, and I hope to get to that 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 this proves that iniquity doesn’t follow any bloodline for very long, especially if someone in it renounces that accursed thing. And yes, cursed objects are real, and there’s a whole lot of them. One example is Star Wars, actually (yeah, this is a hot take without warning ⚠️ haha sorry) — unfortunately, there’s Hindu elements in all media pieces, and I don’t think we should enjoy that. Nevertheless, it’s a pretty good story about how Palpatine’s quest for universal power and for Rey to take it didn’t work. How did he live that long anyway? 😅😅😄😄😆😆 But we shouldn’t write something off as demonic too quickly, for we should engage with the world and not be of it as Jesus did.

I’ll mention more of Zelophehad in the next chapter, but it’s not as though we need only sons to preserve the family name. I know for my part, I don’t really think I can have children right now, even in a different land if it’s actually safe, but I pray women’s rights are elevated in greater numbers in many different lands 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 for if my nieces are dragged away because of some dude’s selfish desire to make them in his own image or say the Bible isn’t good for ladies like them, I’ll have to be stuck with losing whoever is eliminated even if I pray for a resurrection, for we guys should celebrate them daily. It’s nice the U.S. still isn’t too bad for them, but they want to reverse decades of good progress concerning this and call it godliness 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ however, I don’t think there’s enough of us here (or perhaps anywhere else) who are trying to keep women’s rights legal… a lot of guys in Gen Z, I heard, are convinced they shouldn’t even have a voice, double that much of the Boomers (born between 1945 and 1964) — I don’t want to believe this generation is more unrighteous than mine. I remember my experience as a millennial in the previous decade that we were hated for being under 30. They also wrote books about this! This… antagonism and rebellion against the Lord Jesus and Isaiah 51:8 He will never forgive. I mean, the younger humans deserve safety and good opportunities, right? But I guess the “Christians” would rather kick and abuse them into total compliance! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ This isn’t biblical… and if anyone wants to challenge that truth and their safety, they’ll have to answer to Jesus one day. He won’t forget their sins, and He’ll never forgive them, either.

It’s cool that Moses, Aaron, and Miriam were born to Levi’s daughter, Jochebed, who married Amarm, Kohath’s son (Levi had engendered him during their time in Egypt). I’m not sure if Moses had any sons or daughters, but that’s OK. Yet it’s wild how Nadab and Abihu were mentioned about 40 years after their presumption, seeing that they never had children and probably would’ve been nothing but unkind to them if they had been fathers and uncles. At least, though, God doesn’t rejoice in anyone’s demise (contrast Moses’ words he’ll later speak in Deuteronomy 28:63). And with all of Levi being priests, they don’t need to be in the military; I guess they had conscription in those days, but I can’t tell which nations did and didn’t back then. The U.S. still doesn’t have it right now, but that can change because that guy in power wants to amass all the world’s assets for himself, hoping to get immunity and immortality. I heard he only tried to become head of state again because he didn’t want to be locked up, but the charges are real, and so is the Lord’s judgment. When he stands before Him in the day of accountability, he’ll be weighed so deficiently in scales ⚖️ it’ll be like when Belshazzar died in 539 B.C. (see Daniel 5). Jesus will never accept him. Moses also says the atheists’ sins will find them out (Numbers 32:33).

I don’t want to emphasize the judgment fire, though, for there’s too much talk concerning that in the churches in this world, and not enough about God’s love for others. I don’t want to go to a church that harps on any sins… for Acts doesn’t mention any of that, nor do any of Paul’s letters or other New Testament texts. It’s paganism, thats what harping on sin is. I think the Pagan Christianity book 📖 may explain it, but I still haven’t gotten a copy or even borrowed one from the library. If I can find it, I’ll let you know, but I can’t promise I will. I mentioned to one friend this exists, and sadly, he’s not a huge fan of the book. I think he’s following money-lovers instead. But anyways, I have work in just 100 minutes or less, so I’ll head to In-N-Out, get some food, and clock in at Fry’s. See ya!

In Christ,

Ron Outland

The note in the VOICE translation of this chapter mentions that it was an age of diversity, tolerance, and equality at the time it was written and translated from the original languages, as a result of the NKJV and the 1980s Amplified Bible, I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ I note that it was an age of diversity and acceptance, but sadly, the “Christian” church has created an age of sin and discord, and this chapter is worshiped, as if “purity of race” should be “upheld” to “honour” a “chosen one” 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 this mega-crap is against the love of Jesus and all of Scripture! But this chapter, before I elaborate on this further, is found in page 95 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, page 121 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 192-193 of my VOICE copy, and pages 195-196 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

People are going to say the work of Jesus didn’t age well because of the satans that polluted the Christian faith with their heresies… one of the first was the ridiculous Judaizer heresy, as if the laws of Moses were necessary to follow Jesus 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ when that didn’t work, Gnosticism came out, and John reported on this in his letters. Later on, cessationism came out shortly after Scripture was completed, and a couple centuries later, the Church started crawling into bed with the Roman Empire, so since then, the Church has been held captive by them, and the denominations that sprang up from them have misled the world further and further until eventually, atheism started springing up all over the world like weeds in a fine garden. But Jesus had answered that, too, in that false prophets and other children of the devil would occupy the kingdom of God and the world (see Matthew 13:24-30; Jesus explains this parable in verses 37-43 there). However, there are a lot of people who are good at upholding an image of paradise that looks presentable — in other words, these spawns of wickedness are professionals at playing God.

When it comes to God’s kingdom or what He does, He isn’t afraid to look stupid to defend the poor and vulnerable and marginalised among us. Yet many of the specimen I spoke of in that last paragraph claim to be the world’s best Christians 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ as if Jesus actually needed enforcers or policemen — this wasn’t what Romans 13 was going for. Indeed, that chapter is the world’s mechanisms of authority, and Jesus said those who lead the world lord it over everyone and act like tyrants, for so they are (Matthew 20:25). They’d even use a Bible verse or two and couch their statements in religious language to hypnotise their followers and everyone else hearing them into spiritual death! (They have no love in their accursed and damned souls; see 1 John 3:14.) But Jesus doesn’t play their game, for He has prophesied their end like in Psalm 73:17-20. However, these enemies of the Lord have retranslated the Scriptures so that it would suit them, hoping I don’t discover their real motives and the original words in Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic, along with their meanings. But really, what’s your opinion on all this?

Verses 16-18 testify that God tells Moses to be an enemy to the Midianites, too, as the Hebrew literally translates to in plain English. There must’ve been a lot of Midianite involvement in the unnecessary affair that Balaam had instigated (see Numbers 23:28). It’s too bad, for we can be sexual in anything if we’re foolish enough. I know I’m not above sin; indeed, no one is. The good news is, though, Jesus came to set us free from that, but it’s hard to hear Him when anyone harps on even one sin long enough to run it into the ground, like how Eminem, in the second half of the 2000s or so, had run his weird accent into the ground with most of his songs in the records he released (I had only played some of them as they came out; I no longer play those tracks) — yeah, how bold of me to mention that lol 😅😅😂😂🤣🤣 haha sorry everyone 😄😄😄😅😅 — anyone who harps on a particular sin can make it cliché for all the people, even those who love the speakers enough to hear their every word no matter how much it sucks. Indeed, they can actually be convinced that God never loved them, and they’ll probably want to die if they were convinced of that satanic heresy… or become an atheist… whichever of the two. I think all these “preachers” proclaim a different Jesus — Galatians 1:8-9 has very strong words for those who do this. Indeed, the anathema is the strongest swear word in Greek, not just in the Bible, but what they had in those days, I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ and we shouldn’t be people-pleasers, either (Galatians 1:10). But it does say in Galatians 6:10, “Let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are in the household of faith” (NASB), so that’s nice. This is irrespective of those of different ethnicities, nationalities, age groups, religions, gender, even sexual orientation and the like. I do pray hope for those who don’t know Jesus, though, and if you don’t know Him, now’s the time to start, for we don’t know when He’ll come back to take the Invisible Church from the world, and when that happens, the saying in Matthew 25:10 will indeed happen: “While they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut” (NASB). I’m not sure what it’ll look like for you, but I hope you can enjoy Him 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💖💗💗💗💗💗💓💞💕💘❣️❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷🤍🩶🖤🤎 I can’t promise I know everything about the next steps in extraneous detail, but maybe if a church pastor explains it correctly, he/she can help you with that. In the meantime, I’ll see you in chapter 26!

In Christ,

Ron Outland

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 😅

Sorry it’s been nearly two weeks since I had last written on here… even though I had said “tomorrow” on that last post on the 16th, I ended up getting so busy with work I actually forgot what I had written… I only just discovered it a few minutes ago, at the time of writing this, and I hope you can forgive me… I also hilariously spelled “screenshot” with three e’s there, but that’s sort of unrelated 😅😅 this passage is found in pages 93-94 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, pages 119-120 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 190-191 of my VOICE copy, and pages 193-194 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

There’s actually a lot to draw from in this passage, especially verses 19-21, and from the 80s Amplified version I just mentioned, I notice that the word “compunction” is mentioned, which I hadn’t thought of before, but I remember reading that version from start to finish from November 2016 up until a few years later, before I turned 30 during the pandemic, I think. It was the sixth translation I had read in its entirety. And knowing that Balaam, of all people, had been the first in all the Scriptures to say God never lies yet there’s no reference to Titus 1:2 or Hebrews 6:18 in the Amplified translations, this is saying two different things at the same time: Balaam spoke the truth, yet was a false prophet who taught Balak repeatedly to put a stumbling block before Israel, as Jesus would later mention in Revelation 2:14 when He was addressing Pergamum, the third church ⛪️ out of seven in Revelation, which also symbolises a church age that would happen after this was composed. But the fact Balaam was the first of all the people in the Bible to mention that God cannot lie is amazing! However, I think Satan may have been able to say that God lies to others during those times, especially after Moses died and after God had given the prophecy of doom in Deuteronomy 31:16-21 (which I’ll get into, God-willing, if I even have the chance) — the only news God had for His people, for the most part, given most of Deuteronomy… they’d be spit out of the land eventually, and while a split in the nation isn’t mentioned anywhere in the book, 1 & 2 Kings follow the chronology of Israel splitting in two and eventually being taken captive by neighbouring empires, which were later destroyed for this (sorry for the spoilers, for those who don’t know haha).

The Amplified version I referenced earlier on here mentions that God has forgiven Jacob of his sins (verse 21 explains it in that translation), and I think that word was of Him, and indeed, that version references Romans 4:7-8 and 1 John 3:1-2… if we are God’s children, yea, those who are reading this and love the truth in the fashion of 2 Thessalonians 2:10, that’s awesome 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 but none of us can see Jesus perfectly in this life, as 1 John 3:2 mentions (1 Corinthians 13:12 also mentions this). The good news is, perfection of anything isn’t required. However, it’s because of this and the fact we all have a sinful nature even after receiving Jesus that everything often seems botched, like a bad free-throw in a basketball 🏀 game to take the lead ahead of the other team. Yet everyone who has the hope in Him purifies themselves as He is perfect (1 John 3:3). And I’ll be the first to admit I don’t really know how to do that… I mean, a friend of mine has to go back to India 🇮🇳 because of a family emergency and I want to travel with him to show some support, but he has to return within a week and I don’t have a passport, which will take like two months at best to obtain, and it’ll cost hundreds (if not more than a thousand) bucks 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸 — I hate being in student debt… but since it’ll drag on longer and longer until I’m several decades old and I can’t get a better pay rate at my job, I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place 😓😓😓😓😓😓😓 I hope he can return to the U.S. safe and sound, but he’ll be interrogated into caving to Trumpism, and that won’t be fair 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ I really hate that this is a civilised dictatorship 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Jesus doesn’t approve of this. I should’ve gotten a passport when I had the chance.

I find it wild Balaam compared Israel to a lion 🦁 that devours its prey and drinks the blood of the slain 😳😳😳😳😳😳 in verse 24… but then again, God sometimes made holy war against those who hated Him through others… yet, again, it wasn’t His delight, and if He had indeed killed people, no one would be able to worship Him. But the saying is true: the falsehood-lovers’ evil will indeed boomerang back on them. I guess these three chapters are in the Bible because apparently, God can speak through sorcerers and magicians, too 😅😅🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ and both are really weird, and I’m not talking Harry Potter ⚡️ stuff here. But on Balaam delivering these prophecies, sadly, I don’t think he enjoyed them… his end was disgraceful, for he tried to stop Israel from entering Canaan, so he was killed for it (Numbers 31:8). He also loved the wages of unrighteousness (2 Peter 2:15), and Jude mentions him in verse 11 of his letter. Thus Moses and the others had no recourse from God for this. And I’m really done with talking about retribution in the pre-Christ days twice, so I’m going to end with the fact that God never does renege on what He says, as 1 Samuel 15:29 also mentions. And with that, you can count on Him to fulfill the good He has promised if He’s said anything to you. I’ll see you again eventually for Balaam’s third prophecy…

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…

I already covered the animal abuse Balaam had done in the previous note, so there’s no need for me to mention it again — I really don’t want to disturb you with what I write on here… it’s good his donkey had seen the Lord Jesus, but I find it hilarious that the donkey can talk! Literally; I’ve never heard an animal speak before, and in coherent sentences and phrases, too! I want to see Jesus speak through some animals! This chapter is found in pages 92-93 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, pages 118-119 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 187-189 of my VOICE copy, and pages 191-192 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

The talking donkey reminds me of Shrek, and I’m also thinking of Puss N Boots with it, but he wasn’t in the first Shrek movie… at least, though, it was fun for me to watch as a kid. I wonder if Ana’s still loving it… I pray she can start kindergarten safe soon 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝💝💝🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 I do pray against cruel practices in the classrooms, though 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 they’re willing to abuse children there, and the fact that even without anything like this legal in either the schools or homes (for they changed the laws to suit Trump) — Ana is one of my nieces my brother had brought into the world during the pandemic — it’s too unsafe for my babies to be here, and I’m sorry my family can’t do well in the future 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 the lawmakers want to enforce abusive behaviour in all the environments, and they want to enforce wickedness pretending to be Christianity, too 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I hate that safety was erased even for the best of neighbourhoods 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 yet these scum in charge think drugs are worse than rape, and while I don’t think either one should be legal, the fact they hate Jesus and are unwilling to let Him do His thing — I’ve mentioned it before in many of my posts on here, and I’m realising I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but the only way safety will return is if the U.S. is wiped off the map. The churches who worship the government are likely at work to falsify God’s holy Word are likely at work even as we speak, and I’m being treated as a troublemaker. Indeed, these pretenders of righteousness won’t take no for an answer as Balak had done, so that’s why Balaam followed his council instead, especially after he accepted a huge sum of money 💰 to curse the Israelites (he was killed for his transgressions later; see Numbers 31:8).

I’ve spent enough time writing this, so I’m going to finish this post and come back for the next two chapters of this section of the book 📖 what are Balaam’s prophecies like?

I’ve gotta be honest, I don’t know what to write for this one… indeed, I can’t say I have the best commentary in the world for any Bible passage, and I’d rather not steal someone else’s credibility. But these three chapters are found in pages 92-94 of the NKJV Bible I have for this four-translation project, pages 118-121 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 187-192 of my VOICE copy (with all its notes 📝 📋 I need to mention some of them here), and pages 191-195 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

It’s wild that some dude from the East, upon seeing his king, Balak (he ruled Moab in these days; see Numbers 22:2), terrified because of what Israel had just done (Numbers 22:3); he had observed them defeat Og (Numbers 21:33-35) and have a number of other victories prior to that, so he decided to step in to stop them, but God reined in the false prophet’s insanity, as Peter would note much later in 2 Peter 2:16. Also, I didn’t know up until some years back that the false prophet (his name was Balaam) had loved the wages of wrongdoing, and in the unconditional sense, as the Greek for 2 Peter 2:15 notes and implies. What’s more, he actually beat his female donkey three times to make her behave herself! This offends Jesus, and if they had laws against animal cruelty back then, he would’ve been arrested/locked up or killed. It says in the Scriptures, “Good people are kind to their animals; the ‘good-hearted’ bad people kick and abuse them” (Proverbs 12:10 (The Message)). And to think I believed back in late 2011 he had repented and followed Jesus… 15 years later, I’d notice that abuse is a lot more rampant in every nation than I’d like for it to be 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 maybe some nations don’t have many cases, for the safest ones don’t have a lot of craziness, but it’s not good that the people here worship wickedness and cruelty, like how Babylon had worshiped wickedness, as implied in Zechariah 5:11 (the VOICE translation helped me understand it like that). And speaking of Bible translations, I should mention… I think I had said years ago when I started this blog that I’d only mention the VOICE version of the Bible if I were to quote anything from it… I apologise, people.

But as it stands, I’ll get to all these chapters eventually. Indeed, since this is three chapters long, I’m going to do this in several notes like I did with earlier parts of Numbers, but I probably won’t contain it in one week… I pray I get to write on it soon, for it’s because I was born with autism that the Nazis may be able to take me to an institution where I can’t grow and I languish and end up getting degraded… and Trump can and probably will give them the power to do that. Indeed, no one seems to be fighting for the vulnerable anymore… PRAY that I don’t manage to get captured and unable to write anything on here… I’m seeking professional help for a reason. I hope you have a great day! (Today’s my 17-year anniversary of me becoming Christian anyway.)

In Christ,
