Publisher's Synopsis
Balaam was a diviner, which was condemned in the Laws given to the children of Israel. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 clearly forbids any acts of divination, describing them as something detestable to God, and Leviticus 19:26 says, "You must not practice either divination or soothsaying." Balaam could not prophecy against the children of Israel, but instead decided to spread idolatry into their camp and overtake them by evil rather than by curse. The exact opposite of this story of Balaam, which is considered one of the greatest evils described in the entire Bible, is the story of the Nativity. The Birth of Jesus Christ is the greatest event in the Bible, and should be revered and respected by all Christians -- it is the event that has given them new life. This book examines the prophecy of Balaam, and how his evil has survived throughout the ages.
