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.

  1. Carl Gallups sermon today on Zechariah 12 was informative and sobering, He reminded us that the 7 churches in Revelation are now located in Turkey. He mentioned that Biden recently sent money to Iran (biblical Persia) which supports Hamas, and Iran sent money to Hamas. Since the Hamas intelligence agency was located in the building Israel bombed, it is no wonder Israel also bombed Hamas underground tunnels as well,
    Carl also noted Muslim nations are meeting this week to discuss Israel. If this fits prophecy and these nations surround Israel, he reminded us that Russia has many Muslims live in Russia, so it may possibly fit the Magog terminology. Bottom line, the end of days are approaching, in my humble opinion.
