00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.199

00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:25.980
That's<00:07:24.899><c> what</c><00:07:25.079><c> we</c><00:07:25.300><c> learn.</c>

00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:31.779
So<00:07:27.420><c> verse</c><00:07:27.639><c> 22,</c><00:07:29.220><c> God's</c><00:07:29.579><c> anger</c><00:07:29.800><c> was</c><00:07:30.100><c> kindled</c><00:07:30.480><c> because</c><00:07:30.800><c> he</c><00:07:31.079><c> went,</c>

00:07:44.139 --> 00:07:48.639
Three<00:07:45.180><c> times</c><00:07:45.579><c> the</c><00:07:45.819><c> ass</c><00:07:46.019><c> sees</c><00:07:46.300><c> the</c><00:07:46.519><c> angel</c><00:07:46.860><c> and</c><00:07:47.420><c> Balaam</c><00:07:47.620><c> can't.</c>

00:07:51.459 --> 00:07:55.319
We<00:07:51.860><c> know</c><00:07:52.560><c> that</c><00:07:53.060><c> we</c><00:07:53.139><c> are</c><00:07:53.319><c> going</c><00:07:53.560><c> against</c><00:07:54.019><c> God's</c><00:07:54.540><c> will.</c>

00:07:55.740 --> 00:07:58.379
Sometimes<00:07:56.220><c> he</c><00:07:56.480><c> may</c><00:07:56.899><c> stop</c><00:07:57.180><c> us.</c>

00:08:01.779 --> 00:08:04.019
Balaam<00:08:02.240><c> did.</c>

00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:06.740
Smote<00:08:05.459><c> his</c><00:08:05.759><c> ass.</c>

00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.939
Got<00:08:07.800><c> to</c><00:08:07.920><c> the</c><00:08:08.079><c> point</c><00:08:08.180><c> where</c><00:08:08.379><c> the</c><00:08:08.500><c> ass</c><00:08:08.639><c> fell</c><00:08:09.019><c> down</c><00:08:09.360><c> underneath</c><00:08:09.759><c> him.</c>

00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.800
Balaam<00:08:12.079><c> smote</c><00:08:12.639><c> him,</c>

00:08:14.300 --> 00:08:18.860

00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:22.560
We<00:08:19.120><c> shall</c><00:08:19.360><c> look</c><00:08:19.680><c> at</c><00:08:19.860><c> the</c><00:08:20.060><c> New</c><00:08:20.139><c> Testament</c><00:08:20.519><c> comment</c><00:08:21.139><c> on</c><00:08:21.420><c> that</c><00:08:22.420><c> a</c>

little<00:08:22.819><c> later.</c>

00:08:25.019 --> 00:08:26.920
So<00:08:25.319><c> Balaam</c><00:08:25.660><c> is</c><00:08:25.899><c> given</c><00:08:26.100><c> his</c><00:08:26.399><c> commission.</c>

00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:30.620
Verse<00:08:27.600><c> 35,</c><00:08:28.639><c> the</c><00:08:28.860><c> angel</c><00:08:29.180><c> of</c><00:08:29.360><c> Yahweh</c><00:08:29.620><c> said</c><00:08:29.839><c> unto</c><00:08:30.060><c> Balaam,</c>

00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.899
Go<00:08:30.980><c> with</c><00:08:31.240><c> the</c><00:08:31.420><c> men,</c><00:08:32.120><c> but</c><00:08:32.240><c> only</c><00:08:32.539><c> the</c><00:08:32.779><c> word</c><00:08:33.059><c> that</c><00:08:33.200><c> I</c><00:08:33.379><c> shall</c><00:08:33.519><c> speak</c>

00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.059
So<00:08:36.460><c> Balaam</c><00:08:36.779><c> went</c><00:08:37.299><c> with</c><00:08:37.899><c> the</c><00:08:38.080><c> sentences</c><00:08:38.399><c> of</c><00:08:38.639><c> Balaam.</c>

00:08:39.059 --> 00:08:42.080
And<00:08:40.000><c> as</c><00:08:40.360><c> we</c><00:08:40.559><c> shall</c><00:08:40.799><c> see</c><00:08:41.019><c> in</c><00:08:41.259><c> the</c><00:08:41.259><c> succeeding</c><00:08:41.720><c> chapters,</c>

00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:46.279
he<00:08:42.620><c> did</c><00:08:42.879><c> only</c><00:08:43.299><c> speak</c><00:08:43.600><c> the</c><00:08:43.860><c> word</c><00:08:44.279><c> that</c><00:08:44.559><c> God</c><00:08:44.840><c> gave</c><00:08:45.159><c> him.</c>

00:08:46.580 --> 00:08:48.200

00:08:48.460 --> 00:08:54.299
So<00:08:48.639><c> we</c><00:08:48.840><c> come</c><00:08:49.039><c> in</c><00:08:49.139><c> chapter</c><00:08:49.419><c> 23</c><00:08:50.100><c> to</c><00:08:50.539><c> the</c><00:08:50.820><c> first</c><00:08:51.100><c> of</c><00:08:51.299><c> the</c><00:08:51.659><c> prophecies</c><00:08:52.200><c> of</c><00:08:52.580><c> Balaam.</c>

00:08:54.500 --> 00:08:56.679

The<00:09:34.980><c> Book</c><00:09:35.460><c> of</c><00:09:35.519><c> Joshua</c><00:09:35.899><c> chapter</c><00:09:36.159><c> 13</c><00:09:36.539><c> verse</c><00:09:36.799><c> 22</c><00:09:37.259><c> says</c><00:09:37.519><c> this</c><00:09:37.700><c> man</c>

00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.340
That's<00:09:39.820><c> a</c><00:09:39.960><c> profession</c><00:09:40.340><c> that</c><00:09:40.519><c> was</c><00:09:40.799><c> forbidden</c><00:09:41.220><c> to</c><00:09:41.460><c> Israel</c><00:09:41.820><c> under</c><00:09:42.100><c> the</c><00:09:42.340><c> law.</c>

00:09:44.299 --> 00:09:46.120
Yet<00:09:44.860><c> God</c><00:09:45.419><c> uses</c><00:09:45.840><c> him.</c>

00:09:46.179 --> 00:09:47.919
He's<00:09:46.360><c> not</c><00:09:46.600><c> a</c><00:09:46.740><c> godly</c><00:09:47.019><c> man.</c>

00:09:48.100 --> 00:09:50.120
Scripture<00:09:48.100><c> warns</c><00:09:48.759><c> us</c><00:09:48.940><c> against</c><00:09:49.259><c> him</c><00:09:49.500><c> and</c><00:09:49.620><c> his</c><00:09:49.840><c> ways.</c>

00:09:50.340 --> 00:09:52.120
But<00:09:50.399><c> God</c><00:09:50.679><c> uses</c><00:09:51.019><c> him.</c>

00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:55.399
And<00:09:52.860><c> we're</c><00:09:53.059><c> going</c><00:09:53.179><c> to</c><00:09:53.320><c> find</c><00:09:53.460><c> some</c><00:09:53.759><c> amazing</c><00:09:54.259><c> detail</c><00:09:54.759><c> in</c><00:09:55.019><c> these</c>

00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:56.919

00:09:56.980 --> 00:10:00.220
Because<00:09:57.419><c> this</c><00:09:57.820><c> is</c><00:09:58.240><c> revelation</c><00:09:58.799><c> from</c><00:09:59.179><c> God.</c>

00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:03.679
The<00:10:01.419><c> higher</c><00:10:01.679><c> critics</c><00:10:02.000><c> of</c><00:10:02.220><c> the</c><00:10:02.379><c> Bible</c><00:10:02.620><c> will</c><00:10:03.039><c> have</c><00:10:03.259><c> a</c><00:10:03.279><c> look</c><00:10:03.500><c> at</c>

00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:08.559
They<00:10:05.940><c> don't</c><00:10:06.240><c> believe</c><00:10:06.840><c> that</c><00:10:07.039><c> this</c><00:10:07.220><c> is</c><00:10:07.440><c> a</c><00:10:07.559><c> revelation.</c>

00:10:09.659 --> 00:10:12.179
But<00:10:09.919><c> these</c><00:10:10.220><c> verses</c><00:10:10.659><c> prove</c><00:10:11.100><c> it.</c>

00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.259
So<00:10:13.360><c> let's</c><00:10:13.879><c> have</c><00:10:14.059><c> a</c><00:10:14.100><c> look</c><00:10:14.240><c> at</c><00:10:14.299><c> his</c><00:10:14.559><c> first</c><00:10:14.879><c> prophecy.</c>

00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:36.099
There's<00:34:34.719><c> more</c><00:34:34.940><c> than</c><00:34:35.139><c> one</c><00:34:35.360><c> word</c><00:34:35.539><c> for</c><00:34:35.840><c> curse</c>

00:34:39.019 --> 00:34:40.760
But<00:34:39.219><c> there's</c><00:34:39.440><c> this</c><00:34:39.619><c> one</c><00:34:39.780><c> particular</c><00:34:40.320><c> word</c>

00:39:34.340 --> 00:39:35.780
There's<00:39:34.820><c> the</c><00:39:35.059><c> explanation.</c>

00:39:35.780 --> 00:39:38.519
Here<00:39:36.880><c> it</c><00:39:37.239><c> was</c><00:39:37.500><c> who</c><00:39:37.820><c> counseled</c>

00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:40.219
the<00:39:38.679><c> elders</c><00:39:39.039><c> of</c><00:39:39.380><c> Moab</c><00:39:39.659><c> and</c><00:39:39.880><c> Midian</c>

00:39:40.219 --> 00:39:43.219
to<00:39:40.820><c> send</c><00:39:41.139><c> the</c><00:39:41.380><c> women</c><00:39:41.719><c> into</c><00:39:42.199><c> the</c><00:39:42.539><c> council.</c>

00:39:44.199 --> 00:39:45.719
He<00:39:44.400><c> couldn't</c><00:39:44.780><c> get</c><00:39:45.099><c> his</c><00:39:45.360><c> house</c>

00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:46.960
full<00:39:45.940><c> of</c><00:39:46.099><c> silver</c><00:39:46.400><c> and</c><00:39:46.679><c> gold</c>

00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:48.380
because<00:39:47.300><c> God</c><00:39:47.539><c> wouldn't</c><00:39:47.860><c> let</c><00:39:48.159><c> him</c>

00:39:48.380 --> 00:39:49.599
enter<00:39:48.579><c> Israel.</c>

00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:52.659
So<00:39:50.800><c> he</c><00:39:51.019><c> thought</c><00:39:51.260><c> of</c><00:39:51.460><c> another</c><00:39:51.739><c> way.</c>

00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:55.340
That's<00:39:53.760><c> a</c><00:39:53.900><c> warning</c><00:39:54.139><c> to</c><00:39:54.340><c> us,</c><00:39:54.860><c> brothers</c><00:39:54.860><c> and</c><00:39:55.159><c> sisters.</c>

00:39:55.539 --> 00:39:58.099
We<00:39:55.940><c> cannot</c><00:39:56.440><c> defeat</c><00:39:56.940><c> the</c><00:39:57.119><c> purpose</c><00:39:57.480><c> of</c><00:39:57.800><c> God.</c>

00:39:58.539 --> 00:40:00.920
Don't<00:39:59.059><c> fight</c><00:39:59.480><c> against</c><00:39:59.920><c> Him.</c>

00:40:01.980 --> 00:40:03.440
There's<00:40:02.239><c> several</c><00:40:02.679><c> in</c><00:40:03.039><c> scripture</c>

00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:04.440

00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:05.800
I'm<00:40:04.639><c> going</c><00:40:04.780><c> to</c><00:40:04.980><c> challenge</c><00:40:05.179><c> the</c><00:40:05.440><c> teenagers</c>

00:40:08.179 --> 00:40:10.000
who<00:40:08.480><c> thought</c><00:40:09.019><c> that</c><00:40:09.639><c> they</c><00:40:09.780><c> could</c>

00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:11.920
defeat<00:40:10.420><c> the</c><00:40:10.659><c> will</c><00:40:10.739><c> of</c><00:40:11.079><c> God.</c>

00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:14.820
But<00:40:13.739><c> none</c><00:40:14.260><c> of</c><00:40:14.519><c> them</c>

00:40:14.820 --> 00:40:18.039
ever<00:40:15.440><c> succeeded</c><00:40:16.179><c> in</c><00:40:17.019><c> their</c><00:40:17.300><c> plan.</c>

00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:21.039

00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:15.820
And<00:43:14.219><c> exactly</c><00:43:14.519><c> the</c><00:43:14.760><c> same</c><00:43:15.079><c> grief</c>

00:43:15.820 --> 00:43:18.539
occurs<00:43:16.480><c> in</c><00:43:16.960><c> Acts</c><00:43:17.320><c> chapter</c><00:43:17.739><c> 1</c>

00:43:18.739 --> 00:43:20.079
where<00:43:19.340><c> it</c><00:43:19.500><c> says</c><00:43:19.719><c> that</c>

00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:21.719
Judas<00:43:20.380><c> purchased</c><00:43:21.019><c> a</c><00:43:21.320><c> field</c>

00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:24.579
with<00:43:22.360><c> the</c><00:43:22.679><c> reward</c><00:43:23.360><c> of</c><00:43:23.780><c> iniquity.</c>

00:43:25.139 --> 00:43:25.900
And<00:43:25.360><c> that</c><00:43:25.539><c> wasn't</c>

00:43:25.900 --> 00:43:27.239
the<00:43:26.119><c> thirty</c><00:43:26.340><c> pieces</c><00:43:26.679><c> of</c><00:43:26.900><c> silver.</c>

00:43:27.460 --> 00:43:29.960
He'd<00:43:27.980><c> thrown</c><00:43:28.099><c> those</c><00:43:28.380><c> back</c><00:43:28.619><c> to</c><00:43:28.800><c> the</c><00:43:28.980><c> priests.</c>

00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:32.800
It<00:43:30.239><c> was</c><00:43:30.400><c> the</c><00:43:30.559><c> money</c><00:43:30.800><c> that</c><00:43:30.980><c> he</c><00:43:31.079><c> took</c><00:43:31.280><c> out</c><00:43:31.460><c> of</c><00:43:31.579><c> the</c><00:43:31.840><c> bag.</c>

00:43:33.119 --> 00:43:33.980
Money<00:43:33.420><c> that</c><00:43:33.599><c> had</c><00:43:33.800><c> been</c>

00:43:33.980 --> 00:43:36.059
given<00:43:34.340><c> to</c><00:43:35.239><c> sustain</c><00:43:35.619><c> Jesus</c>

00:43:36.059 --> 00:43:38.480
and<00:43:36.280><c> his</c><00:43:36.519><c> disciples</c><00:43:37.039><c> and</c><00:43:37.320><c> to</c><00:43:37.519><c> the</c><00:43:37.699><c> poor.</c>

00:43:39.460 --> 00:43:42.800
Judas<00:43:39.800><c> purchased</c><00:43:40.400><c> a</c><00:43:40.579><c> field</c><00:43:40.900><c> with</c><00:43:41.179><c> that.</c>

00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:45.199
He's<00:43:43.880><c> a</c><00:43:43.940><c> man</c><00:43:44.079><c> in</c><00:43:44.340><c> the</c><00:43:44.440><c> same</c><00:43:44.619><c> mall</c>

00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:46.960
as<00:43:46.079><c> Balaam.</c>

00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:51.019
So<00:43:48.699><c> this</c><00:43:49.039><c> scripture</c><00:43:49.360><c> is</c><00:43:49.699><c> telling</c><00:43:49.840><c> us</c><00:43:50.099><c> brothers</c><00:43:50.360><c> and</c><00:43:50.659><c> sisters</c>

00:43:51.019 --> 00:43:52.320
that<00:43:51.760><c> anyone</c>

00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:54.019
who<00:43:52.599><c> goes</c><00:43:52.980><c> after</c><00:43:53.400><c> money</c>

00:43:54.019 --> 00:43:56.260
rather<00:43:54.739><c> than</c><00:43:54.980><c> the</c><00:43:55.119><c> riches</c><00:43:55.400><c> of</c><00:43:55.619><c> God's</c><00:43:56.099><c> truth</c>

00:43:56.260 --> 00:43:57.840
is<00:43:56.860><c> mad.</c>

00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:01.739
We<00:43:59.920><c> should</c><00:44:00.239><c> never</c><00:44:00.659><c> take</c>

00:44:01.739 --> 00:44:04.699
the<00:44:02.199><c> wages</c><00:44:02.659><c> of</c><00:44:03.300><c> unrighteousness.</c>

00:44:06.219 --> 00:44:08.340
There<00:44:06.619><c> might</c><00:44:06.900><c> be</c><00:44:07.159><c> something</c><00:44:07.440><c> that</c><00:44:07.780><c> you</c>

00:44:08.340 --> 00:44:09.340
really,<00:44:08.719><c> really</c><00:44:09.000><c> want.</c>

00:44:09.340 --> 00:44:11.739
Some<00:44:09.659><c> article</c><00:44:10.519><c> that</c><00:44:10.739><c> you</c><00:44:11.000><c> really,</c><00:44:11.219><c> really</c><00:44:11.440><c> want</c>

00:44:11.739 --> 00:44:15.039
in<00:44:11.980><c> life</c><00:44:12.280><c> where</c><00:44:12.619><c> you</c><00:44:12.719><c> just</c><00:44:12.980><c> can't</c><00:44:13.219><c> afford</c><00:44:13.559><c> it.</c>

00:44:15.579 --> 00:44:17.239
And<00:44:15.719><c> somebody</c><00:44:16.260><c> comes</c><00:44:16.519><c> to</c><00:44:16.739><c> you</c><00:44:16.980><c> and</c><00:44:17.000><c> says</c>

I<00:44:18.139><c> can</c><00:44:18.380><c> get</c><00:44:18.559><c> you</c><00:44:18.719><c> one</c><00:44:18.860><c> really</c><00:44:19.139><c> cheap.</c>

00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:21.539
And<00:44:21.000><c> they</c><00:44:21.139><c> come</c><00:44:21.340><c> to</c><00:44:21.440><c> you</c>

00:44:23.260 --> 00:44:25.119
And<00:44:23.539><c> the</c><00:44:23.719><c> price</c><00:44:23.900><c> they're</c><00:44:24.179><c> asking</c><00:44:24.380><c> is</c><00:44:24.639><c> a</c><00:44:24.800><c> fraction</c>

00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:26.460

00:44:26.739 --> 00:44:29.079
Okay,<00:44:27.320><c> fall</c><00:44:27.340><c> off</c><00:44:27.539><c> the</c><00:44:27.599><c> back</c><00:44:27.780><c> of</c><00:44:27.960><c> a</c><00:44:28.079><c> lorry.</c>

00:44:30.739 --> 00:44:32.059
You<00:44:31.219><c> can</c><00:44:31.699><c> have</c><00:44:31.840><c> it</c>

00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:40.760
sorry<00:44:38.440><c> your</c><00:44:38.719><c> business</c><00:44:38.980><c> isn't</c><00:44:39.360><c> going</c><00:44:39.619><c> very</c><00:44:40.019><c> well.</c>

00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:06.760
Because<00:45:05.139><c> you</c><00:45:05.420><c> don't</c><00:45:05.880><c> love</c>

00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:10.360
the<00:45:07.000><c> wages</c><00:45:07.340><c> of</c><00:45:07.980><c> unrighteousness.</c>

00:45:10.820 --> 00:45:12.760
Let's<00:45:10.960><c> go</c><00:45:11.019><c> to</c><00:45:11.199><c> Jude</c><00:45:11.320><c> now,</c><00:45:11.599><c> to</c><00:45:11.760><c> our</c><00:45:11.920><c> reading.</c>

00:45:12.780 --> 00:45:14.440
I'm<00:45:12.940><c> sure</c><00:45:13.000><c> you</c><00:45:13.219><c> noticed</c><00:45:13.579><c> the</c><00:45:13.719><c> name</c><00:45:13.960><c> of</c><00:45:14.300><c> Balaam</c>

there<00:45:14.760><c> in</c><00:45:15.239><c> the</c><00:45:15.460><c> epistle</c><00:45:15.739><c> of</c><00:45:15.940><c> Jude.</c>

00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:20.119

00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:24.260
And<00:45:23.340><c> I</c><00:45:23.559><c> believe</c><00:45:23.860><c> that</c>

00:45:24.260 --> 00:45:26.360
these<00:45:24.820><c> represent</c><00:45:25.500><c> three</c><00:45:25.940><c> classes</c>
