YESHA'YAHU (ISAIAH) 28:1-6 את CEPHER Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephrayim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine! Behold, Adonai has a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephrayim, shall be trodden under feet: And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looks upon it sees, while it is yet in his hand he eats it up. In that day shall Yahuah Tseva'oth be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the remnant of his people, And for a ruach of judgment to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate. Balaam the son of Beor, brother of king Bela of Moab, is like so many people of our generation that have studied the TORAH and precepts and acknowledge YAHUAH'EL sovereignty over mankind but chose to dismiss righteousness in order to gain possessions of this world. Chokmah (wisdom) can easily be achieved when you rely upon not your own understanding or the sound bytes of deception but the moral foundation that is lost on luke warm believers. The prophet Balaam is similar to shepherds of Islam, Christianity and Judaism that use the spiritual faith of millions to build wealth without philanthropy. There is chokmah found in the CEPHER that goes far beyond western, eastern and Greek philosophy. Most life choices can be accomplished via comprehension of the TORAH and various writings like MISHLEI (PROVERBS) that says the net is spread in the sight of any bird that lay in wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of everyone that is greedy of gain; which takes away the life of the owners thereof. Wisdom cries without; she utters her voice in the streets: She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates, in the city she utters her words, saying, How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge. These are generational curses that push individuals to seek wealth over compassion, and trade humility for aggression and power. These are individuals that strive for sensual pleasures that increases inflated egos while forsaking wise theocratic counsel and reasoning for corruption and wicked desires. (MAKKABIYM REVIY`IY (4 MACCABEES) 2:4 את CEPHER Says reasoning is able to master the stimulus of sensual indulgence and that of every desire, but it takes strength, courage and endurance to fight evil inclinations when your thirst for sensual pleasures and wealth is a deep well full of libation that the bucket called salvation can not fill. And this well is bottomless and filled daily from the tears of the IVRIM (Hebrew) YASHAR'EL (Israel) nation because evil shedom (spirits) continue to corrupt the righteous and lure individuals away from the TORAH. You only have to open your eyes beyond the smoke screens many non-believers and workers of iniquity have created. Examine the gatekeepers of this world that control finance, education, media, entertainment, religion and politics. These are the Balaam's of past, present and future generations that study the TORAH and PRECEPTS to entrap lost souls seeking religious redemption. During their occult ceremonies and rituals, they pray to evil shedom for power and influence so they can persuade individuals with good intentions but without a solid spiritual foundation. These individuals blind the theocratic ignorant who are either fully vetted or unknowingly held in bondage willing to catch others like fishermen casting their net in a sea of darkness. The bottom line is that false prophets bring a message that is not from YAHUAH'EL. Their message contradicts what YAHUAH'EL instructs, often appealing to the world's earthly cravings and passions. Do you think we would witness the hysteria caused by the covid-19 pandemic if it wasn't for mass media feeding hourly news reports. This is mental manipulation that causes millions to drink the Kool-Aid that produces bad fruit for all those partaking from the tree of corruption and disobedience. After witnessing political unrest and civil disobedience where democracy rules and political correctness is enforced instead of the word of ELOHIYM'EL, the prophecy of MATTITHYAHU (MATTHEW) 24:10-12 את CEPHER is being witnessed in our generation. Take off the rose colored glasses and see how the world has changed because politician's and media is continually feeding the public negative and bias information And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because the transgression of the Torah shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. This craziness has made it so easy for individuals with the mental mindset of Balaam that did not continue to be steadfast in his faith but adapted foreign cultures, traditions and doctrines to abandon the moral chokmah (wisdom) found in the TORAH. You will never defeat racism, political corruption or religious vultures from scavenging without a theocratic moral compass. When you come to the realization that mankind is spiraling out of control then you can begin to protect yourself from the spiritually corrupt and egotistical maniacs. These are the ones that rather witness the house burn to the ground instead of grabbing the water hose. They can sit every Sunday in church, or hold the highest political office in the land and still push an agenda contrary to the TORAH and precepts. They are treacherous by nature and just as cunning as a jackal when the shepherd is away from the flock. These are the individuals who were told of upcoming disaster but continued to shrug off calamity. They are sons and daughters of the Ivriy YASHAR'EL nation and mixed company claiming to be Jews, Christians and Muslims. TEHILLIYM (PSALMS) 106:34-39 את CEPHER They did not destroy את eth-the nations, concerning whom YAHUAH commanded them: But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. And they served את eth-their idols: which were a snare unto them. Yea, they sacrificed את eth-their sons and את eth-their daughters unto devils, And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Kena`an: and the land was polluted with blood. Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. How many Balaam's (male or female) can you name in organized religion, entertainment or politics calling themselves a prophet or prophetess? These are the individuals who practice divination and say they can foresee or interpret prophesy but nothing ever comes to fruition. The TORAH and precepts chronicles how the MOST HIGH ELOHIYM'EL interacted with Balaam via a dream to resist aiding King Balak of Moab. The initial meeting did not turn out like the King expected because Balaam continued blessing the YASHAR'EL nation. The king needed the YASHAR'EL nation removed from his kingdom territory by any means necessary but Balaam was unwilling to go against YAHUAH'EL. This is the predicament most individuals face when associating with apostates and enemies of YAHUAH'EL. They continue to attack the TORAH and say the precepts are irrelevant for this generation and must remember king of Moab that offered Balaam enormous wealth, influence and prestige in exchange for his alliance. This is the method used by the occult with their blood oaths and mission in cursing YAHUAH'EL and YASHAR'EL, nation but we must never give up the faith. Balaam maintained his allegiance at first but when the king elites showered him with praise and gifts, his allegiance to the MOST HIGH ELOHIYM began tearing like the veil in the sanctuary. Balaam knew he could not use the front door to persuade YAHUAH'EL to soften his love and protection for the nation so Balaam attempted to backdoor the nation with accusations of repeated disobedience. Balaam would use the YASHAR'EL nation's spiritual weakness who were constantly forsaking the mosaic laws of the TORAH to participate in idolatry, debauchery and human sacrifice. Balaam is like individuals of today who have been or currently associated with secret societies or religious cults looking for guidance or insight without repentance or responsibility. Their allegiance for the evil shedom is unbreakable if it leads to prosperity and power. Organized religion that is not united with the laws of the TORAH can not compete with tactics used by this world's gate keepers to corrupt mankind. Religion continues to cling to man made traditions and foreign doctrines that has crept into Christianity, Islam and Judaism while methods and practices used by Satan and his army have been effective over thousands of generations. Balaam was just one of thousands of prophets throughout the written CEPHER used by the MOST HIGH ELOHIYM'EL to declare his sovereignty and the covenants bestowed upon the tribe of AVRAHAM (Abraham). Balaam will be spoken of throughout antiquity and in our generation as an Ivriy (Hebrew) brother of bela (an early king of the Edomiym (Edomites) from the linage of Esau son of YItzchak (Isaac) son of AVRAHAM that became a renegade for the profits of this world.
BERE'SHIYTH (GENESIS) 36:31-33 את CEPHER And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Yashar'el. And Bela the son of Be'or reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah. And Bela died, and Yovav the son of Zerach of Botsrah reigned in his stead. Balaam who was a Ivriy and an elite inside the king inner circle went over to the kena'aniy (sons of Cham).described in chapters 22–24 of the Book of BEMIDBAR (Numbers), the fourth book of the Torah. Balsam was a diviner who dabbled in divination and practiced in occult rituals usually associated with supernatural beliefs and practices which generally fall outside the scope of religion and science, These practices were forbidden and chronicled in the book of Neviy'iym (prophets) because they consisted of mysticism, spirituality, and magic. How many times have you read about a celebrity, politician or billionaire getting caught up within a secret society or witnessed them in a picture or video showing allegiance to the occult. You probably shrugged it off because of their celebrity status or political office but did you know that YAHUAH'EL forbade the Ivriy nation from mixing in with the company of nations that practices idolatry. When we discuss Balaam and individuals in our generation with the characteristics of Balaam we also must discuss Avraham (Abraham), originally called Avram.
AVRAHAM was born In the early 2nd millennium BCE and revered by parishioners of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. AVRAHAM was fearless, wealthy and highly obedient to the MOST HIGH ELOHIYM'EL. AVRAHAM obeyed unquestioningly the commands of YAHUAH'EL, from whom AVRAHAM received repeated promises and a covenant that his “seed” would inherit the land. The TORAH gives you an overall description of Avraham faith but did you know that Avraham put his life on the line with king Nimrod and fought with his family because they were idol worshipping? YOVHELIYM (JUBILEES) 12:1-29 את CEPHER AND it came to pass in the sixth week, in the seventh year thereof, that Avram said to Terach his father, saying, father! And he said, Behold, here am I, my son. And he said, What help and profit have we from those idols which you do worship, And before which you do bow yourself? For there is no ruach in them, for they are dumb forms, and a misleading of the heart. Worship them not: Worship the ELOHIYM of heaven, who causes the rain and the dew to descend on the earth and does everything upon the earth, and has created everything by his word, and all life is from before his face. Why do ye worship things that have no ruach in them? For they are the work of men's hands, and on your shoulders do ye bear them, and ye have no help from them, but they are a great cause of shame to those who make them, and a misleading of the heart to those who worship them: worship them not. And his father said unto him, I also know it, my son, but what shall I do with a people who have made me to serve before them? And if I tell them the Truth, they will slay me; for their soul cleaves to them to worship them and honour them. Keep silent, my son, lest they slay you. And these words he spoke to his two brothers, and they were angry with him and he kept silent. And in the fortieth jubilee, in the second week, in the seventh year thereof, Avram took to himself a woman, and her name was Sarai, the daughter of his father, and she became his woman. And Haran, his brother, took to himself a woman in the third year of the third week, and she bore him a son in the seventh year of this week, and he called his name Lot. And Nachor, his brother, took to himself a woman. And in the sixtieth year of the life of Avram, that is, in the fourth week, in the fourth year thereof, Avram arose by night, and burned the house of the idols, and he burned all that was in the house and no man knew it. And they arose in the night and sought to save their elohiym from the midst of the fire. And Haran hastened to save them, but the fire flamed over him, and he was burnt in the fire, and he died in Ur of the Kasdiym before Terach his father, and they buried him in Ur of the Kasdiym. And Terach went forth from Ur of the Kasdiym, he and his sons, to go into the land of Lebanon and into the land of Kena`an, and he dwelt in the land of Haran, and Avram dwelt with Terach his father in Haran two weeks of years. And in the sixth week, in the fifth year thereof, Avram sat up throughout the night on the New Moon of the seventh month to observe the stars from the evening to the morning, in order to see what would be the character of the year with regard to the rains, and he was alone as he sat and observed. And a word came into his heart and he said: All the signs of the stars, and the signs of the moon and of the sun are all in the hand of YAHUAH. Why do I search them out? If he desires, he causes it to rain, morning and evening; And if he desires, he withholds it, And all things are in his hand. And he prayed that night and said, My ELOHIYM, EL ELYON, you alone are my ELOHIYM, and you and your dominion have I chosen. And you have created all things, and all things that are the work of your hands. Deliver me from the hands of evil ruachoth who have dominion over the thoughts of men's hearts, and let them not lead me astray from you, my ELOHIYM. And establish me and my seed forever that we go not astray from henceforth and forevermore. And he said, Shall I return unto Ur of the Kasdiym who seek my face that I may return to them, am I to remain here in this place? The right path before you prosper it in the hands of your servant that he may fulfil it and that I may not walk in the deceitfulness of my heart, O ELOHAI. And he made an end of speaking and praying, and behold the Word of YAHUAH was sent to him through me, saying: Get you up from your country, and from your kindred and from the house of your father unto a land which I will show you, and I shall make you a great and numerous nation. And I will bless you and I will make your name great, and you shall be blessed in the earth, and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed, and I will bless them that bless you, and curse them that curse you. And I will be an ELOHIYM to you and your son, and to your son's son, and to all your seed: fear not, from henceforth and unto all generations of the earth I am your ELOHIYM. And YAHUAH ELOHIYM said: Open his mouth and his ears, that he may hear and speak with his mouth, with the language which has been revealed; for it had ceased from the mouths of all the children of men from the day of the overthrow of Babel. And I opened his mouth, and his ears and his lips, and I began to speak with him in Ivriyt in the tongue of the creation. And he took the CEPHER of his fathers, and these were written in Ivriyt, and he transcribed them, and he began from henceforth to study them, and I made known to him that which he could not understand, and he studied them during the six rainy months. And it came to pass in the seventh year of the sixth week that he spoke to his father and informed him, that he would leave Haran to go into the land of Kena`an to see it and return to him. And Terach his father said unto him; go in peace: may the eternal ELOHIYM make your path straight. And YAHUAH be with you, and protect you from all evil, and grant unto you grace, mercy and favour before those who see you, and may none of the children of men have power over you to harm you; go in peace. There is little doubt that AVRAHAM is the father of two great nations (Judaism and Islam) but AVRAHAM did not seek the power of the evil chedom like many tribal leaders within his generation. AVRAHAM'S thirst for righteousness and uprightness protected him from evil and corrupt mankind all around him. In Judaism, the covenant between YAHUAH'EL and AVRAHAM extended to his seeds or offspring and this offspring is understood to be the YASHAR'EL nation. AVRAHAM had two sons, Yishmael and Yitschaq (Isaac). Little is known of Yishmael except he was the son of AVRAHAM concubine Hagar. Hagar was given to AVRAHAM by Pharaoh in Mitsrayim (Egypt), Hagar served as a maid to AVRAHAM childless wife, Sarah, who gave her to AVRAHAM to conceive an heir. So in modern knowledge, Hagar will be considered a slave since she was given to AVRAHAM by Pharaoh in Mitsrayim to work for his woman Sarai. BERE'SHIYTH (GENESIS) 12:11-16 את CEPHER And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Mitsrayim, that he said unto El-Sarai his woman, Behold now, I know that you are a fair woman to look upon: Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Mitsriym shall see you, that they shall say, This is his woman: and they will kill me, but they will save you alive. Say, I pray you, you are my sister: that it may be well with me for your sake; and my soul shall live because of you. And it came to pass, that, when Avram was come into Mitsrayim, the Mitsriym beheld the woman that she was very fair. The princes also of Phar'oh saw her, and commended her before Phar'oh: and the woman was taken into Phar'oh's house. And he intreated Avram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels. The primary function of a tribal leader’s wife is to bear seed for the tribal leader which is AVRAHAM. The MOST HIGH ELOHIYM'EL had just made a covenant with Avram that was increasing in size with servants, cattle and possessions. As a nomadic tribal leader he roamed Kena'an (Canaan) feeding his livestock until a famine devastated the territory and Avram had to dwell in Mitsrayim. Mitsrayim was a nation practicing idolatry and violence towards foreigners so AVRAHAM displayed fear of death because of Sarai beauty even after YAHUAH'EL promised him that his seed will be like the grains of sand. Now the question must be asked was AVRAHAM woman Sarai barren because of their lack of faith? This had to be a constant humiliation to Sarai because nomadic tribal leaders heir's was necessary for the growth and stability of the tribe. It was the duty of the tribal leaders wife to produce a heir so in the estimation of the tribe, sarai was a failure and her barren state was a constant torment to her ego and tribal status. YOVHELIYM (JUBILEES) 14:22-24 את CEPHER And Sarai advised her man Avram, and said unto him: 'Go in unto Ha'ger, my Mitsriy maid: it may be that I shall build up seed unto you by her.' And Avram hearkened unto the voice of Sarai his woman, and said unto her: Do so. And Sarai took Ha'ger, her maid, the Mitsriy, and gave her to Avram, her man, to be his woman. And he went in unto her, and she conceived and bore him a son, and he called his name Yishma'el, in the fifth year of this week; and this was the eighty sixth year in the life of Avram. YOVHELIYM (JUBILEES) 15:7-24 את CEPHER Neither shall your name anymore be called Avram, but your name from henceforth, even forever, shall be Avraham. For the father of many nations have I made you. And I will make you very great, and I will make you into nations, and kings shall come forth from you. And I shall establish my covenant between me and you, and your seed after you, throughout their generations, for an eternal covenant, so that I may be an Elohiym unto you, and to your seed after you. And unto the land where you have been a sojourner, the land of Kena`an, that you may possess it forever, and I will be their Elohiym. And Yahuah said unto Avraham: 'And as for you, do you guard my covenant, you and your seed after you: and circumcise ye every male among you, and circumcise your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of an eternal covenant between me and you. And the child on the eighth day ye shall circumcise, every male throughout your generations, him that is born in the house, or whom ye have bought with money from any stranger, whom ye have acquired who is not of your seed. He that is born in your house shall surely be circumcised, and those whom you have bought with money shall be circumcised, and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an eternal ordinance. And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that soul shall be cut off from his people, for he has broken my covenant.' And Elohiym said unto Avraham: 'As for Sarai your woman, her name shall no more be called Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. And I will bless her, and give you a son by her, and I will bless him, and he shall become a nation, and kings of nations shall proceed from him.' And Avraham fell on his face, and rejoiced, and said in his heart: 'Shall a son be born to him that is a hundred years old, and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bring forth?' And Avraham said unto Elohiym: 'O that Yishma'el might live before you!' And Elohiym said: 'Yea, and Sarah also shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Yitschaq, and I will establish my covenant with him, an everlasting covenant, and for his seed after him. And as for Yishma'el also have I heard you, and behold I will bless him, and make him great, and multiply him exceedingly, and he shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. But my covenant will I establish with Yitschaq, whom Sarah shall bear to you, in these days, in the next year.' And he left off speaking with him, and Elohiym went up from Avraham. And Avraham did according as Elohiym had said unto him, and he took Yishma'el his son, and all that were born in his house, and whom he had bought with his money, every male in his house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin. And on the selfsame day was Avraham circumcised, and all the men of his house, and all those, whom he had bought with money from the children of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
YOVHELIYM (JUBILEES) 17:1-6 את CEPHER AND in the first year of the fifth week Yitschaq was weaned in this jubilee, and Avraham made a great banquet in the third month, on the day his son Yitschaq was weaned. And Yishma'el, the son of Ha'ger, the Mitsriy, was before the face of Avraham, his father, in his place, and Avraham rejoiced and blessed Elohiym because he had seen his sons and had not died childless. And he remembered the words which he had spoken to him on the day on which Lot had parted from him, and he rejoiced because Yahuah had given him seed upon the earth to inherit the earth, and he blessed with all his mouth the Creator of all things . And Sarah saw Yishma'el playing and dancing, and Avraham rejoicing with great joy, and she became jealous of Yishma'el and said to Avraham, 'Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman will not be heir with my son, Yitschaq.' And the thing was grievous in Avraham's sight, because of his maidservant and because of his son, that he should drive them from him. And Elohiym said to Avraham: Let it not be grievous in your sight, because of the child and because of the bondwoman; in all that Sarah has said unto you, hearken to her words and do them; for in Yitschaq shall your name and seed be called. But as for the son of this bondwoman I will make him a great nation, because he is of your seed. After Sarai gave another woman to be with her man to have a child, Sarai began to feel great humiliation and became very remorseful for what she did. I must ask the question again, because Sarai didn't trust in the promise YAHUAH'El gave to her man Avram about his seed being a great nation was she cursed with barrenness? About 14 years after the birth of Yishmael, YItschaq, was born to Sarai and F fearing that Yishmael would also become an heir, sent Hager and Yishmael into the desert. BERE'SHIYTH (GENESIS) 21:9-10 את CEPHER And Sarah saw the son of Ha'ger the Mitsriy, which she had born unto Avraham, mocking. Wherefore she said unto Avraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Yitschaq. In Islam, it is Yishma'el (Ishmael), Avraham firstborn son, born of Hagar, who is viewed as the fulfillment of YAHUAH'EL promise. Both sons are taught morality and leadership skills but it is the teachings learned from their grandfather Noach of the MOST HIGH ELOHIYM'EL that establish a spiritual covenant for all generations. The evil of mankind was beginning to show itself again in the earth and corrupt sons and daughters of Noach. We get a glimpse of the moral teachings told to Noach sons in YOVHELIYM (JUBILEES) 10:1-6 את CEPHER in the third week of this jubilee the unclean devils began to lead astray the children of the sons of Noach, and to make to err and destroy them. And the sons of Noach came to Noach their father, and they told him concerning the devils which were leading astray and blinding and slaying his sons' sons. And he prayed before Yahuah Elohayu, and said: Elohiym of the ruachoth of all flesh, who has shown mercy unto me and has saved me and my sons from the waters of the flood, and has not caused me to perish as you did the sons of perdition; For your grace has been great towards me, and great has been your mercy to my soul; Let your grace be lift up upon my sons, and let not wicked ruachoth rule over them lest they should destroy them from the earth. But do you bless me and my sons, that we may increase and multiply and replenish the earth. And you know how your Watchers, the fathers of these ruachoth, acted in my day: and as for these ruachoth which are living, imprison them and hold them fast in the place of condemnation, and let them not bring destruction on the sons of your servant, my Elohiym; for these are malignant, and created in order to destroy. And let them not rule over the ruachoth of the living; for you alone can exercise dominion over them. And let them not have power over the sons of the righteous from henceforth and forevermore. It is very important that sons and daughters of this generation examine the TORAH and precepts to build and strengthen their Faith. Our generation must learn from previous generations to combat the Balaams that have a form of righteousness but follow the doctrines and idolatry of the occult and Christendom. Many false prophets rely on worshipers not studying the TORAH and precepts daily so they can include non biblical passages in assembly meetings. You will find that most scriptures do not condone the activities and festivals of many religions in our generation and this is evident if you examine the Cepher and Quran. Many religious denominations attempt to persuade their congregation not to study all three Faiths but Christianity, Islam and Judaism are similar in some aspects when it comes to obedience and spiritual practices while greatly different in other ways. One spiritual aspect that is unchangeable is idolatry and false worship of gods. This is evident with ancient kings and judges of the Yashar'el nation. BARUK SHENIY (2 BARUK) 66:1-5 את CEPHER. AND the bright tenth waters which you have seen: this is the purity of the generations of Yo'shiyahu king of Yahudah, who was the only one at the time who submitted himself to El Elohiym with all his heart and with all his soul. And he cleansed the land from idols, and sanctified all the vessels which had been polluted, and restored the offerings to the altar, and raised the horn of the holy, and exalted the righteous, and honored all that were wise in understanding, and brought back the priests to their ministry, and destroyed and removed the magicians and enchanters and necromancers from the land. And not only did he slay the impious that were living, but they also took from the sepulchres the bones of the dead and burned them with fire. And the feasts and the Shabbaths he established in their sanctity, and their polluted ones he burnt in the fire, and the lying prophets which deceived the people, these also he burnt in the fire, and the people who listened to them when they were living, he cast them into the brook Qidron, and heaped stones upon them. And he was zealous with zeal for El Elohiym with all his soul, and he alone was firm in the Torah at that time, so that he left none that was uncircumcised, or that wrought impiety in all the land, all the days of his life. The Quran tells parishioners to fight the good fight and battle against Satan and never against the MOST HIGH ELOHIYM'EL. Cowardice is looked down in both books and this had to be taught to both sons of Avraham along with spiritual obedience. Surah An-Nisa 4:75-77 Quran How is it that you do not fight in the way of Allah and in support of the helpless - men, women and children -who pray: 'Our Lord, bring us out of this land whose people are oppressors and appoint for us from Yourself, a protector, and appoint for us from Yourself a helper'? Those who have faith fight in the way of Allah, while those who disbelieve fight in the way of taghut (Satan). Fight, then, against the fellows of Satan. Surely Satan's strategy is weak. Have you not seen those who were told: 'Restrain you hands, and establish the Prayer, and pay the Zakah'? But when fighting was enjoined upon them some of them feared men as one should fear Allah, or even more,and said: 'Our Lord, why have You ordained fighting for us? Why did You not grant us a little more respite?' Say to them: 'There is little enjoyment in this world. The World to Come is much better for the God-fearing. And you shall not be wronged even to the extent of the husk of a date-stone. Wherever you might be, death will overtake you even though you be in massive towers. And when some good happens to them, they say: 'This is from Allah'; whereas when some misfortune befalls them, they say: 'This is because of you'. Say: 'All is from Allah.' What has happened to this people that they seem to understand nothing?
Throughout the Cepher, Priests, Judges, Prophets, Magicians and Charlatans from the TORAH (book of instructions) to Cepheriym Yochanon (John's gospel and epistles) had their lives chronicled by writers with detailed accounts on human influence, prosperity, spiritual insight, chokmah while also exposing individuals such as kings, rulers, priests, counselors, women who became idol worshippers or apostates. What made Balaam stand out from the others is his association with the Elites that granted him privileges within the king's court. It also must be noted that his linage derived from the descendants of Edom (Esau) which means "red",the elder son of the Iviry (Hebrew) patriarch Yitschaq (Isaac) the son of Avraham, the son of Eber, the son of Shem. The rift between twin brothers Yitschaq and Edom extends throughout our generation and continues to put Avraham seed at odds against each other. Mosheh (Moses) and the Yashar'el (Israelite) people twice appealed to their common ancestry and asked the king of Edom for passage through his land, along the "King's Highway", on their way to Kena'an (Canaan), but the king refused permission. The King of Edom did not attack Yashar'el, though he prepared to resist aggression with full military force. The tribe of Yashar'el also did not march in battle formation or attack and destroy the king of Moab after making peace with his nation which is customary when they traveled across another nation sovereign land. DEVARIYM (DEUTERONOMY) 20:10-15 את CEPHER When you come nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it. And it shall be, if it make you answer of peace, and open unto you, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto you, and they shall serve you. And if it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it: And when Yahuah Elohayka has delivered it into your hands, you shall smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shall you take unto yourself; and you shall eat the spoil of your enemies, which Yahuah Elohayka has given you. Thus shall you do unto all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations. This would signify that The MOST HIGH ELOHIYM'EL did not condone fighting among the children of Avraham like he did other tribes that the YASHAR'EL nation encountered. The Most High ELOHIYM'EL also sent the nation of Yashar'el around the king of Moab territorial land to defuse hostile feelings brewing up among the two nations. We might also consider that Balaam who was a non-Israelite but Iviry who knew the Most Sacred Name, was being used by Yahuah'el to persuade the king of Moab to let the nation of Yashar'el travel in peace. Ali 'Imran 3:95 Tell them, O Prophet, that Allah has spoken the truth about Jacob (peace be upon him), and in everything that He has revealed and established in the sacred law. Also, tell them to follow the religion Abraham (peace be upon him): he abandoned all other ways of life for the path of surrendering in devotion to Allah, by worshipping Him and following His sacred law he only worshipped Allah. Balaam not only was held in regard as the brother of a king but was known as a prophet so it was no surprise that Balak, king of Moab, would seek his assistance to place a malediction on the people of Israel, who are camped ominously on the plains of Moab. Balaam gradually acquired a position among the gentiles, first being an interpreter of dreams, then becoming a magician, until finally the spirit of prophecy descended upon him. The Cepher tells us that MISHLEI (Proverbs) 26:2.“like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest” The MOST HIGH ELOHIYM'EL does not allow His children to be cursed. YAHUAH'EL is sovereign. No one has the power to curse one whom YAHUAH'EL has decided to bless. The MOST HIGH ELOHIYM'EL is the only One able to pronounce judgment. Balaam was revered as a prophet after conducting rituals and magic tricks so the king of Moab sought him out to place a curse upon the children of Yashar'el who the king feared would eventually invade his nation. Balaam wanted favor with the king but knew that he could not pray for a malediction or curse against the nation of Yashar'el that would satisfy the king. Balsam at first refused king Balak but Balak consequently sends higher-ranking priests and offers Balaam honors; Balaam continues to press Yahuah'el, and Yahuah'el finally permits him to go “Go with them, but do only what I tell you ”Balaam states that he will utter only what YAHUAH'EL, The MOST HIGH ELOHIYM'EL, inspires, but he is willing to accompany the Moabite messengers to Balak. He is met on the road by an angel of the MOST HIGH ELOHIYM'EL, who is recognized only by Balaam’s donkey, which refuses to continue. BEMIDBAR (NUMBERS) 22:21-35 את CEPHER And Bil'am rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Mo'av. And Elohiym's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of Yahuah stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him. And the ass saw the angel of Yahuah standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Bil'am smote the ass, to turn her into the way. But the angel of Yahuah stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side. And when the ass saw the angel of Yahuah, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Bil'am's foot against the wall: and he smote her again. And the angel of Yahuah went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. And when the ass saw the angel of Yahuah, she fell down under Bil'am: and Bil'am's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. And Yahuah opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Bil'am, What have I done unto you, that you have smitten me these three times? And Bil'am said unto the ass, Because you have mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill you. And the ass said unto Bil'am, Am not I your ass, upon which you have ridden ever since I was yours unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto you? And he said, Nay. Then Yahuah opened the eyes of Bil'am, and he saw the angel of Yahuah standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. And the angel of Yahuah said unto him, Wherefore have you smitten your ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand you, because your way is perverse before me: And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain you, and saved her alive. And Bil'am said unto the angel of Yahuah, I have sinned; for I knew not that you stood in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease you, I will get me back again. And the angel of Yahuah said unto Bil'am, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto you, that you shall speak. So Bil'am went with the princes of Balaq. The angel told Balaam that he certainly would have killed Balaam had not the donkey spared his life. Ironically, a dumb beast had more wisdom than YAHUAH'EL prophet. The angel permits him to go to Balak but commands him not to curse but to bless Israel. Despite pressure from Balak, Balaam remains faithful to YAHUAH'EL and blesses the people of YASHAR'EL. In later literature (specifically, KEPHA SHENIY 2:15
2Peter 2:15), however, Balaam is held up as an example of one who apostatized for the sake of material gain. Balaam’s three prophecies of blessing YASHAR'EL infuriated the king of Moab, who told the prophet to go back home with no reward: “Now leave at once and go home! I said I would reward you handsomely, but the Lord has kept you from being rewarded” The YASHAR'EL nation we're in the plains of Moab, east of the Jordan River, at the close of 40 years of wandering. Balaam figured out a way to get his reward from Balak. Balaam's intention was to curse the YASHAR'EL nation using the Most High Elohiym moment of wrath caused by the YASHAR'EL nation disobedience and thus cause the Most High Elohiym himself to destroy them; but ELOHIYM purposely restrained His anger in order to baffle the wicked prophet and to save the nation from extermination. Balaam taught Balak to cast a stumbling block upon the children of YASHAR'EL. Balaam advised the Moabites on how to entice the people of YASHAR'EL with prostitutes and idolatry. He could not curse YASHAR'EL directly, so he came up with a plan for YASHAR'EL to bring a curse upon themselves. Balak followed Balaam’s advice, and YASHAR'EL fell into sin, worshiping Baal of Peor and committing fornication with foreign women. BEMIDBAR (NUMBERS) 25:1-6 את CEPHER AND Yashar'el abode in Shittiym, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Mo'av. And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their elohiym: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their elohiym. And Yashar'el joined himself unto Ba`al Pe`or: and the anger of Yahuah was kindled against Yashar'el. And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before Yahuah against the sun, that the fierce anger of Yahuah may be turned away from Yashar'el. And Mosheh said unto the judges of Yashar'el, Slay ye everyone his men that were joined unto Ba`al Pe`or. And, behold, one of the children of Yashar'el came and brought unto his brethren a Midyaniyth woman in the sight of Mosheh, and in the sight of all the assembly of the children of Yashar'el, who were weeping before the door of the Tabernacle of the assembly.
DEVARIYM (DEUTERONOMY) 23:3-8 את CEPHER An Ammoniy or Mo'aviy shall not enter into the assembly of Yahuah; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the assembly of Yahuah forever: Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Mitsrayim; and because they hired against you Bil'am the son of Be'or of Pethor of Aram Naharayim, to curse you. Nevertheless Yahuah Elohayka would not hearken unto Bil'am; but Yahuah Elohayka turned the curse into a blessing unto you, because Yahuah Elohayka loved you. You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever. You shall not abhor an Edomiy; for he is your brother: you shall not abhor a Mitsriy; because you were a stranger in his land. The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the assembly of Yahuah in their third generation. Satan’s tactics haven’t changed all that much. If he cannot curse YAHUAH'EL directly, he will try the back-door approach, using idolatry and sexual immorality as his go-to temptations. Balaam was a wicked prophet but not a false prophet. YAHUAH'EL did give Balaam some true prophecies to speak, however, Balaam’s heart was not right with YASHAR'EL and eventually he showed his true colors by betraying YASHAR'EL and leading them astray. In Moab, King Balak took the prophet Balaam up to a high place called Bamoth Baal and told him to curse the Israelites. Balaam first offered fourteen sacrifices on seven altars and then declared the message: a blessing on YASHAR'EL: “How can I curse / those whom ELOHIYM'EL has not cursed? / How can I denounce / those whom the Lord has not denounced?” King Balak told Balaam that, if he was going to keep blessing Israel, it was better for him to just shut up. Balaam foretold of the Messiah: “A star will come out of YA'AQOV; / a scepter will rise out of YASHAR'EL. / He will crush the foreheads of Moab, / the skulls of all the people of Sheth”. KEPHA (Peter) compares false teachers to Balaam, KEPHA SHENIY (2 PETER) 2:12-17 את CEPHER “who loved the wages of wickedness” But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: a heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Bil'am the son of Be'or, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbade the madness of the prophet. These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. YAHUDAH (Jude) echoes this sentiment, associating Balaam with the selling of one’s soul for financial gain. YAHUDAH (JUDE) 1:11-13 את CEPHER Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Qayin, and ran greedily after the error of Bil'am for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Qorach. These are spots in your feasts of love, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. Finally, YESHUA HA'MASHIACH (Jesus the messiah) speaks of Balaam when He warns the church in Pergamum of their sin:
CHIZAYON (REVELATION) 2:12-17 את CEPHER And to the angel of the called out assembly in Pergamos write; These things says he which has the sharp sword with two edges; I know your works, and where you dwell, even where Satan's seat is: and you hold fast my name, and have not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you, because you have there them that hold the doctrine of Bil'am, who taught Balaq to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Yashar'el, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. So have you also them that hold the doctrine of the Niyqolaciym, which thing I hate. Repent; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. He that has an ear, let him hear את what the Ruach says unto the called out assemblies; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows saving he that receives it. Balaam is later listed among the Midianites who were killed in revenge for the matter of Peor. Balaam died during a battle for the Reubenite occupation of Moabite land.
In the process of killing Balaam all four legal methods of execution, stoning, burning, decapitating, and strangling were employed. He met his death at the age of thirty-three. YAHUSHA (JOSHUA) 13:22 את CEPHER Bil'am also the son of Be'or, the soothsayer, did the children of Yashar'el slay with the sword among them that were slain by them. Enemies of the MOST HIGH ELOHIYM'EL will eventually met their fate after going against his sovereignty and disobedience of the TORAH. Don't be a Balaam or associate with individuals labeled a Balaam.
