Numbers 22:22-35
Numbers 22:22-35
Balaam
Then GOD’s ANGER WAS AROUSED because He (Balaam) went, and The Angel OF The LORD (GOD Almighty) TOOK His STAND in the way as an Adversary AGAINST Him (Balaam). And He (Balaam) was riding on His Donkey, and His Two Servants were with Him. Now, The Donkey SAW The Angel OF The LORD STANDING in the way with His Drawn Sword IN His Hand, and The Donkey TURNED ASIDE out of the way and went into the field. So Balaam STRUCK The Donkey TO TURN Her (The Donkey) back onto the road. Then The Angel OF The LORD STOOD in a narrow path, between the vineyards, with a Wall ON This Side and a Wall ON That Side. And When The Donkey SAW The Angel OF The LORD, She (The Donkey) PUSHED Herself AGAINST The Wall and CRUSHED Balaam’s Foot AGAINST The Wall; so He (Balaam) STRUCK Her (The Donkey) AGAIN. Then The Angel OF The LORD went further, and STOOD in a narrow place, where there was NO Way TO TURN, EITHER TO The Right Hand OR TO The Left. And when The Donkey SAW The Angel OF The LORD, She (The Donkey) lay down UNDER Balaam; so Balaam’s ANGER WAS AROUSED, and He (Balaam) STRUCK The Donkey WITH His Staff.
Then The LORD OPENED The Mouth OF The Donkey, and She SAID TO Balaam, “What have I done to YOU, that YOU have STRUCK me These Three Times?” And Balaam SAID TO The Donkey, “Because YOU have ABUSED me. I wish there were a Sword IN My Hand, For NOW I Would KILL YOU!” So The Donkey SAID TO Balaam, “Am I NOT Your Donkey on which YOU have ridden, ever since I BECAME Yours, TO This Day? Was I EVER Disposed TO DO This TO YOU?” And He (Balaam) SAID, “No.”
Then The LORD OPENED Balaam’s Eyes, and He SAW The Angel OF The LORD STANDING IN The Way WITH His Drawn Sword IN His Hand; and He (Balaam) bowed His Head and fell flat on His Face. And The Angel OF The LORD SAID TO Him (Balaam), “Why have YOU STRUCK Your Donkey These Three Times? Behold, I Have Come Out TO STAND AGAINST YOU (Balaam), because Your Way IS PERVERSE BEFORE Me. The Donkey SAW Me and TURNED ASIDE FROM Me These Three Times. If She Had NOT Turned Aside FROM Me, SURELY I Would ALSO Have KILLED YOU By NOW, and Let Her LIVE.” And Balaam SAID TO The Angel OF The LORD, “I have sinned, for I did NOT know YOU STOOD IN The Way AGAINST me. Now therefore, IF IT DISPLEASED YOU, I will turn back.” Then The Angel OF The LORD SAID TO Balaam, “Go WITH The Men, BUT ONLY The WORD That I SPEAK TO YOU, That YOU Shall SPEAK.”
2 Kings 6:11-17
Therefore, The Heart of The King of Syria was greatly troubled by this thing; and He called His Servants and said to them, “Will YOU NOT Show me, Which of Us IS FOR The King of Israel?” And One of His Servants said, “NONE, My lord, O King; BUT Elisha, The Prophet Who IS IN Israel, TELLS The King of Israel The Words That YOU Speak IN Your Bedroom.” So He (The King of Syria) said, “GO and SEE Where He (Elisha) IS, that I May Send and Get Him.” And it was told Him (The King of Syria), saying, “Surely He (Elisha) is in Dothan.” Therefore, He (The King of Syria) SENT Horses and Chariots and a Great Army there, and they came by night and Surrounded The City (Dothan).
And When The Servant of The Man (Elisha) of GOD (GOD Almighty) arose early and went out, there was an Army (The Syrian Army), Surrounding The City (Dothan) with Horses and Chariots. And His Servant said to Him (Elisha), “Alas, My Master! What Shall We DO?” So He (Elisha) ANSWERED, “Do NOT Fear, For Those Who ARE WITH Us ARE MORE THAN Those who are with Them.” And Elisha PRAYED, and SAID, “LORD, I PRAY, OPEN His (Elisha’s Servant’s) Eyes that He May SEE.” Then The LORD OPENED The Eyes of The Young Man, and He SAW. And Behold, The Mountain WAS FULL OF HORSES AND CHARIOTS OF FIRE, ALL AROUND Elisha. So when The Syrians came down to Him, Elisha PRAYED TO The LORD, and SAID, “STRIKE This People, I PRAY, WITH Blindness.” And He (GOD Almighty) STRUCK Them (The Syrian Army) WITH Blindness, According TO The WORD OF Elisha.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Therefore, We (Believers) Do NOT Lose Heart. Even though Our Outward Man (The Natural Body) IS PERISHING, yet The Inward Man (Our Soul) IS BEING RENEWED Day by Day. For Our Light Affliction, Which IS BUT For A Moment, IS WORKING For Us, A Far More Exceeding and ETERNAL WEIGHT OF GLORY, While We Do NOT Look AT The Things Which ARE SEEN, BUT AT The Things Which ARE NOT SEEN. For the things which are SEEN are temporary, BUT The Things Which ARE NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
For such are FALSE Apostles, DECEITFUL Workers, TRANSFORMING Themselves (FALSE Believers) INTO Apostles OF Christ. And NO wonder! For Satan, Himself, TRANSFORMS Himself INTO an Angel OF LIGHT. Therefore, it is NO Great Thing IF His Ministers (the fallen angels, demons, etc.) ALSO TRANSFORM Themselves INTO Ministers OF Righteousness, Whose END will be according to Their Works.
Ephesians 6:12
For We (Believers) Do NOT WRESTLE AGAINST Flesh and Blood (Mankind), BUT AGAINST Principalities, AGAINST Powers, AGAINST The Rulers of The Darkness of THIS AGE, AGAINST Spiritual Hosts of Wickedness IN The Heavenly Places.
Colossians 1:15-17
He (Jesus Christ) IS The IMAGE OF The INVISIBLE GOD (GOD Almighty), The Firstborn OVER All Creation. For BY Him, All Things WERE CREATED That ARE IN Heaven and That ARE ON Earth, Visible and INVISIBLE, Whether Thrones OR Dominions OR Principalities OR Powers. ALL Things WERE CREATED THROUGH Him and FOR Him. And He IS BEFORE All Things, and IN Him All Things CONSIST.
Fellow Believers, were you aware of any of these things, truthfully? Yes, There IS A Spiritual World, INVISIBLE TO Us (at least for Now), and GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, and GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels Reside IN IT, BUT ALSO, Satan, the fallen angels, and demons RESIDE IN IT, as well. We KNOW, Our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit, AND GOD Almighty, Himself, WATCHES OVER Us, but have you ever stopped to think that GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, ALSO Watch Over Us, as well? Well, They (GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels) DO!
One Day Very SOON, We Will BE ABLE TO SEE The Spiritual World, AND We Will BE IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, and ALL The Rest of The Children OF GOD Almighty, For Eternity, Forever!
Now, We KNOW, Why The Holy Bible DEMANDS:
Ephesians 6:11, 13, 16
PUT ON The Whole ARMOR OF GOD (GOD Almighty), That YOU May BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST the wiles of the devil (Satan). Therefore, TAKE UP The Whole ARMOR OF GOD, That YOU May BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND IN The Evil Day, and Having DONE All, TO STAND. ABOVE ALL, TAKING The SHIELD OF FAITH, WITH Which YOU Will BE ABLE TO QUENCH All the fiery darts of the wicked one (Satan).
My Fellow Brothers and Sisters IN Christ, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us AND We ABIDE IN Him, AND Jesus Christ ABIDES IN The Father (GOD Almighty), AND The Gospel OF Jesus Christ TELLS Us, We ABIDE IN GOD Almighty, as well. We ARE The Children OF GOD Almighty, YES, Co-Heirs OF The Kingdom OF GOD Almighty THROUGH Jesus Christ. May you find comfort in THIS KNOWLEDGE, and IN These Scriptures:
Revelation 3:10
Because YOU (Believers) have KEPT My (Jesus Christ’s) COMMAND TO Persevere, I (Jesus Christ) ALSO Will KEEP YOU (Believers) FROM The HOUR OF TRIAL, which shall COME UPON The Whole World (Satan’s World), TO TEST Those (Unbelievers) who dwell on The Earth.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For The LORD (Jesus Christ), Himself, Will DESCEND FROM Heaven, WITH A SHOUT, WITH The Voice of an Archangel, and WITH The TRUMPET OF GOD (GOD Almighty). And The Dead IN Christ (Dead Believers) Will RISE First. THEN We (Living Believers) Who ARE ALIVE and REMAIN, Shall BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER, WITH Them (The Dead IN Christ), IN The Clouds, TO MEET The LORD (Jesus Christ) IN The AIR. And Thus We (Believers) Shall ALWAYS BE WITH The LORD (Jesus Christ).
The Being Caught Up Together May Occur IN The Next Millisecond, So, there is NO Time to waste, GET OUT There, Show YOU Care, Share The Gospel of Jesus Christ!
