Of Sword-Bearing Angels and Dumb Asses Which Speak: A Warning to the Balaamites in the Church

WOE to the Leaders and Theologians of the Church

Who have put a STUMBLING BLOCK before the Israel of GOD,

Who have Led the People into the Doctrine of Balaam,

Who Have Taught the People to eat things sacrificed to idols,

and to commit fornication

Most of us remember Balaam because he had a discussion with his riding ass . . . and did not marvel that he himself was talking to an animal. 

The People of Israel remembered Balaam for teaching GOD’S people to eat meat sacrificed to idols and to commit fornication with the Moabite women, who enticed them. 

The LORD, however,  remembered Balaam’s animosity against HIS Holy Ways and for drawing HIS People into sins, an activity which had caused Our RIGHTEOUS GOD to slay HIS own, sin-laden people. . .  24,000 . . . who were involved in these sins. 

And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: 

and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.

And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor. Numbers 25:1-5

Balaam’s heinous error is recorded, discussed, referred to,  pointed out, and / or warned against in at least 11 books of the Bible: Deuteronomy, Numbers, Joshua, Nehemiah, Psalms, Hosea, Micah, 1 Corinthians, 2 Peter, Jude, and Revelation.

Balaam, the son of Beor, of Pethor, was not a prophet of Israel, but a soothsayer who lived in Upper Mesopotamia, in the land called Aram. See Deuteronomy 23:4 and Numbers 23:7. 

Balak, a king of Moab, hired Balaam to curse Israel. For reward, of course. Balaam was prohibited from doing so by the Angel of The LORD who was about to slay him. 

In the end, Balaam was slain along with the five kings of Midian who had come against the people of Israel, the people of GOD. 

The LORD had turned HIS anger upon the Midianites because they taught the Israelites to eat meat sacrificed to idols and they used the Moabite womenfolk to entice the men of Israel to commit fornication.

WOE to the Church leaders who follow the ways of Balaam. 

WOE to the committees of Theologians of both high and low church organizations, from liturgical to free-flowing, who formulate doctrines re-constructing a tolerance for sin. 

WOE to the Teachers and Pastors and Counselors who teach, pastor, and counsel  that fornication and homosexuality are not sins in My+ eyes.  

WOE to them who cast a STUMBLING BLOCK before My+ People, assuring them that wrong is “right” and CHRIST-LIKE.

WOE to them who falsely make ME+,  JESUS CHRIST, The Eternal LIVING SON+ of The LIVING GOD, the author of their sin-laden doctrines. 

WOE to them who tickle the ears of My+ People in order to live in fine houses and build fine reputations in the eyes of the world of false Christianity.  

The soothsayer Balaam did not have the WORD of GOD. But you have had the Living WORD of GOD for many years.  You have disdained Sound Counsel and Sound Doctrine.  

There will be no dumb ass to warn YOU.

REMEMBER: Dire warnings are written throughout My+ Holy WORD against Balaam, who gave WRONG counsel to the people of Israel, to GOD’S people. 

REMEMBER: Balaam who enticed My+ people to GO AGAINST My+ Holy WORD received his reward: he was slain along with the other enemies of GOD’s people who wiled them into doing evil ways . . . ways that went against My+ WORD, against My+ Character.

YES, I+ will always slay the wicked; My+ character does not change. But My+ heart grieves when I+ must slay My+ own people who are purposely targeted and enticed to err.

Thus, I+ will also slay those who lead My+ People astray, whether those enticers be within My+ flock or soothsayers outside the commonwealth of Israel, like Balaam .

I+ will hold accountable every man who is not led by My+ SPIRIT, who dares to lift up himself to LEAD MY+ PEOPLE.

TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES, You leaders of My+ People; you are riding a dumb ass whose mouth I+ will NOT open this time. You are heading into destruction because I+ have targeted you for destruction for killing the souls of My+ People. 

They are so easily led astray, and you have used them to make a name for yourself.  You have used the tired, the over-worked, the gullible, the weak, the down-trodden, and yes, even the lazy believers who needed reprimanded, in order to establish your control. 

In so doing, you have lined your pockets with gold and silver, fine houses and lands, and a notable retirement. 

I+ warn you to buy of ME+ gold tried in the fire, for you will not escape because you wear vestments or hold theological degrees or read Greek and Hebrew. 

You are weighed in the balances and found wanting. My+ wrath is set against you, and you will not be able to escape it. 

THERE WILL BE NO DUMB ASS TO WARN YOU.

Thus saith The LORD.

+  +  +

But I+ have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I+ hate.

Repent; or else I+ will come unto thee quickly,

 and will fight against them with the sword of My+ Mouth.

Revelation 2:14-16
