In chapter 22 verse 35 we see how Jehovah allows Balaam to continue with his way, Jehovah clearly expressed his disapproval but still allowed him to make his own decision although unfortunately he preferred to ignore Jehovah’s will and follow his selfish desires, so We see how Jehovah always gives us free will to make our own decisions but always patiently advises us lovingly because he knows what is best for us and he wants us to do well, so if we listen to him they will always be good results.

The 23rd chapter of numbers looks like Balaam speaks many times and speaks like a worshiper of Jehovah seems like a worshiper of Jehovah, but in reality his deeds his actions proved quite the opposite that he was not interested in the worship of Jehovah or the welfare of his people and that makes us think about how important it is that we analyze our motives when worshiping Jehovah, what is really valuable is that we worship him for pure motives.

If in the letter of Jude 11 you refer to Balaam and say that they have thrown themselves into the wrong behavior of Balaam, today we are urged to be independent human beings and to some degree it is true because Jehovah created us with free will but it is also a In the end, parents want their children to respect the order, the rules of a school house and the street and they do it for their own health and their benefit, in the same way God wants us to make sure that our behavior is appropriate the one who awaits him, so if we couldn’t be wrong like Balaam.

In the account we see of Balaam we see how he witnessed miracles even saw the intervention of an angel in a miraculous way, but nevertheless he closed the doors of his heart to Jehovah and did not turn to him, today in the ministry we find what Likewise, we find people who, despite seeing the signs that point to these last days, do not open their doors to Jehovah, but that does not mean that we give the maximum in our ministry.

Chapter 23 verse 19 when he talks about the son of man who changes his mind made me think about the indecision and the danger that this has, it can be compared to a ship without a rudder that is swept away by the storm a person who is carried away by the popular opinion of others can suffer spiritual shipwreck, so we must strive to have stability in our faith and make decisions that reflect that we trust in the word of God.

It is clear that none of us want to disobey Jehovah intentionally but perhaps we consult Jehovah in prayer because we have a doubt or we have to make an important decision and now the answer that Jehovah gives us through a speech a Watchtower our personal study is not the What we expected or not is the one we like the most, Balaam did not hear the first answer he was not honest he did not act as Jehovah indicated and in the end we know that he suffered even the donkey crushed his leg against the wall, Jehovah wants to avoid that suffering so Even if it costs us, we must be honest and recognize that the decisions and guidance that Jehovah gives us is always the correct one.

If in chapter 23 verse 29 we see what Jehovah makes Balaam say about himself that he is a God who does not lie who does not change his mind that he fulfills what he says or promises, so without a doubt we have a God in the one we can trust with our whole being.

Balaam said that he could not do anything without Jehovah’s approval, however in verse 19 of chapter 22 he said to also stay here tonight so that I can find out what else Jehovah tells me, which indicates that Balaam was thinking about it. To the idea that perhaps Jehovah would allow him to leave with the messengers and receive a reward, well the lesson is that we should reject temptations immediately and not turn them around.

In numbers 24 Balak tells Balaam how Jehovah has prevented giving you great honors as if Jehovah prevented us from achieving good things, and it has reminded me a bit of the words of this world that tells us, work longer hours, let yourself be carried away by pleasures or dedicate yourself only to yourself because that makes you happy and it is as if he told us Jehovah does not want you to be happy because Jehovah tells you not to do that, of course we know that this is not the case Jehovah wants us to be happy because Jehovah loves us very much and precisely if he tells us to inhabit certain things, it is because he knows that this is going to make us unhappy.

Chapter 24 verse 7 mentions the name of Agag, we can know it because he was a contemporary of Saul, so it could seem that there is some kind of discrepancy in this sense, some kind of contradiction but it is not so we can trust that there is no kind of discrepancy because Agag could have been the title of a royalty like that of the pharaoh of Egypt or it could also be that it was some common name of the Amalekites.

Chapter 22 verse 3 indicates that Moab felt very afraid and that he was scared to death because of the Israelites, this prophetically fulfilled what Moses and the Israelites sang after crossing the Red Sea that we find in Exodus 15:15 there it says that the rulers The mighty ones of Moab will shake and all the inhabitants of Canaan will lose their courage, so it is one more sign that we can always trust Jehovah’s prophetic word. 

We could use chapter 23 verse 23 for preaching or when we do a Bible course to show that bad omens against Jehovah’s people are useless, reminding those people that Jehovah is much more powerful than demons than if they are close of him because nothing is going to happen to them.

In verse 18 we see that Balaam refers to Jehovah as my God so he recognized that Jehovah was the true God but I show by his actions that he did not submit to him and today there are many people who also know that Jehovah is the only God true but that they do not submit to his authority or live according to his will, so Jehovah tells us that these people we should stay away from because they are bad company because by being with them we could end up sinning seriously like the Israelites.
