Series: Balaam: Prophet of Contradictions

Service: Sunday PM

Type: Bible Class

Speaker: Terry Slack

What makes Balaam so intriguing is he’s a complex/confusing figure, a prophet of contradictions; he’s man who hears from God, speaks for God, is used by God, and who communicates some of the most wonderful prophetic truths in all of Scripture. But at the same time, he’s described as a false and deceitful prophet, a hireling, a man who operated by such evil motives that the NT warns us to avoid his error and his ways. Before we get to Balaam we’ll need to get a “lay of the land” and see how Balak, the king of Moab, saw Israel’s arrival as desperate times that called for desperate measures.

Speaker: Terry Slack

Within each of us lies a desire to see justice done, and to deny such feelings doesn’t make them go away. Truth is, expressing our anger to God in regard to injustice is not only good therapy, it’s also good theology. This is borne out in this song of David as he feels himself drowning in a sea of trouble in spite of being innocent. But David’s words are also prophetic—foreshadowing the experiences of Jesus.
