The Donkey & The Prophet: Part 2

00:00:00 Speaker 1: Previously on the Chosen people. The Mediannite kings filed in, still in their traveling clothes, dust from the road, clinging to them and dirtying his hall. Black frowned at it as one of them stepped forward. 00:00:15 Speaker 2: A rival nomadic nation has just stormed through our lands and tranced two fortified cities. They have an army, an army of hundreds of thousand strong in the population of over two million people. This horde would devour everything around us like a swarm of locusts. The Israelites cannot succeed in this land, and if we cannot defeat them in battle, let us turn to the gods ourselves. 00:00:49 Speaker 1: What do you have in mind? Bailamb was a renowned sorcerer, prophet, and conjurer of the mysterious arts. Many of his talents were made tricks of the trade he'd learned from his master, Yet other aspects of his job required a true connection to the spiritual forces. This is where he truly made his weight in silver. 00:01:12 Speaker 3: Please fail, Our King has authorized great sums for your reward. That nothing keep you from coming with us. Our King will give you the moon and stars. If that's what it takes. All you have to do is come to Mowab and put a curse on the people of Israel. 00:01:30 Speaker 1: But as Balam urged her forward with his heels, the donkey froze, refusing to move. Baylamb's frustration boiled over, and he yelled, flailing at the animal. 00:01:41 Speaker 2: What is move you? 00:01:43 Speaker 4: I want you move? 00:01:44 Speaker 3: What have I done to you that you have been me these three times? 00:01:49 Speaker 1: He dropped the stick he was holding. An angel wielding a mighty sword stood directly behind him. 00:01:56 Speaker 5: Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? She saw me and turned away. I came out to oppose you because I consider what you are doing to be a fellow. If your donkey had not turned away from me, I would have killed you by now and let her live. 00:02:32 Speaker 6: Even kings and prophets cannot outrun the plans of God. Shelloh, my friends, from here in the holy land of Israel. I'm l Extein with international Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and welcome to the Chosen People. What happens when human ambition comes up against the will of God? Can wealth power even the schemes of kings rewrite what the Almighty has already declared? Balak, king of Moab thought so. He believed that if he could find the right prophet, he could undo a blessing that had already been sealed in the heavens. But what happens when you come face to face with God's unshakable protection and faithfulness when you can't curse what God has chosen to bless? 00:03:24 Speaker 1: What Baalam experienced on that barren hill would stay with him forever. This God of Israel was unlike any power he had encountered before. Baylamb had spent his life summoning and communing with supernatural entities. Some had been intimidating, but none compared to this presence, and he had no desire to encounter it again. The orders he received had been unyieldingly clear. The weather had shifted violently, the mountain grown on the foot as if in fear from a clear sky, and the storm and erupted, battering in with rain and wind that threatened to throw in from the peak. As he stood receiving the God's message, adrenaline surge through him, leaving his knees shaking beneath his heavy robes and a nervous sweat clinging to his brow. As he descended, the storm miraculously calmed. With each step he took down from the summit blak. The Medianite kings and their entourage stared at him with wide eyes through the haze of alter smoke. Good he must have looked more imposing than he felt. Bailam brushed sweat and rain from his face, swallowed hard, and clenched his fists, steadying himself to deliver the message from the God of Israel. The king would not be pleased, No, he would not like this one. 00:04:49 Speaker 7: Bit, Black King of Mobe, you have sought me to put a curse on your enemies, the Israelites. I have sought to do as you have asked. Their God has come to meet me on the mountain instead. Behold, he has an answer for you. This is what the God of Israel would have me relay. How can I curse someone God has not cursed? How can I denounce someone the Lord has not denounced? I Milam can see them from the top of this mountain. All I sees are people living alone. Do not even consider themselves among the nations. There are people set apart for their God's holy purpose. Someday their descendants will be like the stars in the night sky innumerable. Hearing of their future, their distinct calling, it almost makes me wish I were one of them. 00:05:47 Speaker 1: Bilamb concluded his speech and awaited what would surely be a furious response from the king. Bailak stood stupidly and blinted Blamb as the words he had spoken took effect. Bailak's face grew red and his eyes still wide from shock at Baylamb's dramatic appearance now narrowed in rage. 00:06:09 Speaker 2: What are you playing at, Baalam? 00:06:12 Speaker 8: Ody to curse them, and instead you come back saying they are blessed? 00:06:17 Speaker 1: Bailamb knew Bailak would be angry, but he grew defensive. 00:06:21 Speaker 7: Anyway, do you not listen at all? I do not speak to you in my own words. Of course, I prefer to curse them. I want your money in my pocket. But I have told you multiple times I speak only the words of the gods, nothing more, nothing less. What did you expect, black? 00:06:40 Speaker 1: Bailamb watched as Bailak's humiliation deepened under the watchful eyes of the Median eighted kings and elders in his throne room. Flustered, he smoothed his damp robes, cleared his throat, and tried to reclaim control of the situation. 00:06:54 Speaker 2: You say you can only speak with this God tells you what of changing his mind? I thought the renowned balm would have some. 00:07:03 Speaker 1: Influence in the spiritual world. 00:07:05 Speaker 8: Haven't you bragged throughout the nations that you are the best for the songs written about you? 00:07:11 Speaker 1: False Baylan gave Bailac a tight smile at that. He knew the king was trying to bait him into manipulating the will of God. Internally, his stomach nodded at his inkling of where this confrontation would inevitably lead back to the God of Israel. 00:07:28 Speaker 4: Speak plainly, in my King, tell me what you wish me to do. 00:07:33 Speaker 2: Tell me, if we were to go to a different high place in the Scalping range, and you were only able to see a portion of the Israelites, would you still be able to set a curse against them? 00:07:47 Speaker 7: I've already told you what the God of Israel has said. You will not allow me to curse them. 00:07:53 Speaker 1: Bailac, however, did not seem deterred. If anything, he seemed to recover his confidence as he fleshed out his. 00:08:00 Speaker 2: But what what if we move locations, set up everything again? Offer the seven bulls in seven rams to the gods once more, doubling our efforts would surely please bail Maybe this other god would be similarly appeased and be willing to step aside and allow you to place the curse on Israel. 00:08:20 Speaker 1: Baylamb scowled as he considered all that effort might please other gods he had encountered it would surely impress then, but this God of Israel seemed different, unlikely to be so easily swayed. Besides, it was a significant amount of effort. As he weighed his options, the king suddenly stepped forward and gripped Baylamb's arm tightly, with his face just inches away. Bailak repeated his desperate request, speaking in a low voice out of earshot of the others. 00:08:54 Speaker 2: Hms, come with me to another place where you can see them. Remember what I've what you're here to do, and remember the riches you will earn because of it. If you do not, I will never stop telling the tale of your failure. 00:09:09 Speaker 8: I will make sure every kingdom in the East knows Balem is a failure. 00:09:15 Speaker 1: Bylamb gritted his teeth. He wanted that reward to come all this way over five hundred miles and walk away empty handed, and to have this crotchety king besmirch his reputation. No, that would not do. Bailamb bit back his fear of approaching the God of Israel again and shook off the king's grip to approach the others still waiting by the smoldering altars. 00:09:41 Speaker 7: Listen to me, we will go to a different high place from within these mountains. Let us go again and prepare what is required. 00:09:51 Speaker 1: King Bailak's men once again built and prepared seven altars, this time on the field of Zophim, within the Pisca range. Bailak glowered down at the distant Israelite camp, only catching a partial view of the massive tent at its center, marked by the strange cloud rising from its roof against the dark sky. The cloud stood stark, though the rain had paused, The sky threatened to unleash a torrent at any moment. Reports spoke of this cloud pillar transforming into an unearthly column of fire at night, the mysterious source of Israel's power. Bailak's surmised. He was sure they must have powerful magicians or diviners securing this stubborn God's protection. That was why Bailak had sought out Balamb, rumored to be the most powerful prophet in the world, rumored Bailak seethed. The morning had been disastrous and Baalam's performance thus far left him unimpressed. Bailak had leveraged hard won favors and rallied the Mediannite kings for this, Gambol feeling their skeptical eyes on him. As minutes passed without a single curse against Israel, the bulls and rams lay smoking on the altars, flames sputtering against the thick, humid air. Bailac glanced at Bailamb, who was staring toward the summit with irritation. The storm clouds grew heavier and the wind whipped around them, as if stirred by an unseen force. Bailamb suddenly turned sharply, eyes flashing, as if driven by the storm itself. 00:11:30 Speaker 7: Stay here by your burnt offering, as you did before, I will go again to consult with this God of Israel and return to tell you what he said. 00:11:40 Speaker 1: Without waiting for a response, the fuming prophets stormed up the incline to the summit to attempt to do the job Bailak had hired him to do. When he was out of his line of vision, Bailak sat heavily on a nearby boulder and folded his arms just as it started to rain. Despite the downpour, his tendants even attempted to offer him wine, olives, and bread. He waved them all off and made a show of not meeting anyone's eyes while they waited, Theirs, or the Mediunited Kings, or the elders of the two nations. A short while later, Bailiam returned. Bailak sprang to his feet, not bothering to worry how desperate it made him appear. This had to have worked. This couldn't have all been for nothing. 00:12:26 Speaker 8: Balem, what did the Israelite God say? Did you persuade him to step aside? Have you cursed Israel? 00:12:34 Speaker 1: The prophet again wiped his stringy hair from his eyes, his face unreadable. Blamb then yelled back, full throated, to be heard over the wind. 00:12:43 Speaker 7: The God of Israel has a message for you, my king. Remember, I only say what the God places in my mouth. 00:12:54 Speaker 1: Bailak's temper flared at his words, but he could do nothing now but listen to the prophet's words. Bailak braced himself, and the Medianites and the elders leaned forward in anticipation. 00:13:05 Speaker 7: Black Son of Zippor, pay attention to what I say. God is not like a man. He cannot lie or be persuaded to change his mind. I belom the Prophet have instead received a command to bless, and since the Almighty Guard has commanded me, I cannot change it. He considers no disaster for Jacob. He sees no trouble for Israel. The Lord, their God is with them. He brought them out of Egypt. There is no magic curse against Jacob, and no divination or sorcery against Israel. 00:13:52 Speaker 1: Bailak's temper reached its peak at the Prophet's blatant refusal to curse. 00:13:58 Speaker 8: Israel what I have commanded of you. You are not willing to curse them. Don't bless them. In fact, don't curse them all, bless them, say nothing at all. 00:14:09 Speaker 7: How many times have I told you, but you refuse to listen. However, the Lord says I must do, Why do you insist on sending me before him? 00:14:18 Speaker 1: If Bailak was not mistaken, there was a tinge of fear behind the prophet's eyes. The god's unbreakable royalty to his people was worrying. But then he considered his own people. Would they be thrown aside by Israel? Fear pulsed through his veins and threatened to consume his anger. He heard what happened to the Amorites, the two kings who no longer possessed their kingdoms or their heads. Bailac looked over at the Mediannite kings. King Zu inserted himself in the heated exchange between the king and prophet. 00:14:52 Speaker 9: If you forbid the prophet from speaking, then is our business here finished? 00:14:57 Speaker 2: Should we go back and arm our people for war? 00:15:00 Speaker 8: Now you heard the oracle, the prophet has foretold the designs of war against some would fail. 00:15:07 Speaker 9: Then what you rallied our peoples and promised us this was the only way to undermine Israel's rise in our land. But all we've done is labor in the reign over fourteen altars and twenty eight sacrifices for this prophet to bless our enemy and proclaim their future victories. 00:15:25 Speaker 8: We should go to another spot prepare again for the curse, But this time do not seek out this God of Israel Baileem instead just professes the curse. No divination, no prophecy, just sorcery. 00:15:39 Speaker 1: Bailac world to Beliam, who was still standing before them, Watching Bailak's control over the assembly devolve. Beilac again close the distance between himself and the prophet. 00:15:51 Speaker 8: Do I make myself clear? You are to go with us to Mount Piar, That is the place where we appease our gods, and you will curse Israel from it. 00:16:01 Speaker 1: Bailamb steadily met his gaze, though he was breathing heavily. The man was waging an internal battle, maybe even consulting with the other worldly voices only he could hear. After a long moment, baylamb gave his answer, I will go. Bailamb stood on the high place of Mount Pere, Rain, blurring his view of the Israelite camp below. Under better conditions, it would be an ideal spot to pronounce a curse, but nothing about this felt ideal. The God of Israel was relentless, and his unwavering devotion to these people was baffling. Fear had given way to frustration, and Balam's pride simmered with offense. This God had summoned him to this miserable man, making him believe there was a way to fulfill his task. Now Baalam's reputation was crumbling, and Bailak's fury left little hope of receiving any promised reward. King Bailak barked orders as his men prepared the altars and sacrifices for the third time, their faces betraying irritation and distrust. They had lost faith hours ago, and Balam couldn't blame them. Unlike the fickle gods he knew, sin shamash Ishtar, or even Marduk, this God of Israel was unwavering. Even more disheartening was the silence of those familiar deities. None answered his cause, not even their lesser servants. 00:17:32 Speaker 4: By too far away from home from Aram, are they respecting the boundaries and lands held by this God of Israel? Why from this ball does local deity, feared by the more white and Midi knights, is silent. 00:17:47 Speaker 1: This was what perturbed Blam the most, the silencing of the voices he had grown accustomed to. It was as if they could not stand to be in the presence of the God of Israel. As Bailam's stood on the mountain side, he strained to hear the familiar voices of the gods he had known all his life, any god but the God of Israel. But only his own voice echoed back. There was no other. The men had finished their work, and the sacrifices were smoking on the lid altars. How they lit them in the rain was beyond Bailamb, but it was no easy feet. The wind still howled, and the rain still fell steadily around them. The kings were now waiting expectantly. Bailamb nodded solemnly and turned his gaze to the Israelite camp below. He would not seek the God on the heights again. Instead, he studied the rain so tense a range try by tribe in ordered circles around their sacred courtyard. Baylamb's eyes swept over every roll, every detail as he prepared to speak a curse, But when he opened his mouth, no sound came out. His throat had been closed. Panic surged as he grasped at his neck, struggling for air. The moment stretched into what felt like an eternity, his mind reeling from the lack of oxygen. Suddenly, relief came as breath rushed back into his lungs, but his eyes widened in shock as words poured from his mouth, words not his own. The voice that spoke was controlled by a power greater than him. The spirit of the God of Israel had taken. 00:19:29 Speaker 10: Hold all the car of plans, of all the oracle of the man's eyes opened. 00:19:39 Speaker 7: The oracle of one is the saying of God. 00:19:43 Speaker 10: Who sees the she from the Almighty, who falls to a trance with his eyes uncovered. How beautiful your tens cheek, your dwellings frill They stretched out like a real valleys than God side a stream, like flowers more less planted, like seeders beside. 00:20:06 Speaker 1: The water God brought him out of Egypt. 00:20:11 Speaker 4: He is like the horns of a while with oars him. 00:20:14 Speaker 10: He will feed on immaginations and all their bones. 00:20:19 Speaker 11: He strike them with his arrows. He crunches, he lies down like a lion or a lioness. Or dares to rouse him, those less will blest. 00:20:33 Speaker 10: And those who curs you. 00:20:36 Speaker 1: Will be cursed. Bailamb thought to regain control of his voice and body throughout this speech, while the kings and elders stood paralyzed in astonishment. After what felt like a lifetime, baylamb regained his autonomy at the speech's conclusion and stumbled forward, gasping for air. He kneeled on the ground, panting, when King Bailak recovered his shock and rounded on him. 00:21:06 Speaker 8: You arrogant pretender, you deny my summons twice, and when you finally deigned to arrive in my lands, would deny my requests three times. 00:21:18 Speaker 2: And not only that, you would bless my enemy three times. 00:21:24 Speaker 1: How his no One notes found you. 00:21:26 Speaker 8: Out for what you are, a retender. 00:21:30 Speaker 2: If you think your own compensation of any kind, you are sorely mistaken. 00:21:39 Speaker 8: The God of Israel, with whom you are clearly aligned, has denied you a reward. Now go home. 00:21:48 Speaker 1: Bailac turned on his heel and stormed off. His attendants reluctantly followed, leaving baylamb sprawled out, still choking for air. When he caught his breath, his temper flared at Bailak's accusations. He staggered to his feet to defend himself, yelling after him, what. 00:22:06 Speaker 7: If I've been telling you your stubbingness has made your death. Even if you wore to give me your full house of silver and gold, I could not go against this God's command. You soften yourself. I had no choice but to say. 00:22:19 Speaker 1: Whatever Bailamb stopped short once more. He saw Bailak and his men turn back to see what was wrong. The Median eyed kings hadn't taken their eyes off him. Once transfixed since his first outburst, The God of Israel's voice once more sounded in his mind, but mercifully it did not take control of his body. 00:22:41 Speaker 5: Again. 00:22:42 Speaker 1: He stood transfixed, listening to the prophecy the deity dropped into his mind. It was a prophetic full telling this time. When it was over, he slumped to his knees again and trembled. He looked up and found the king's elders and attendants of both nations standing as spellbound as he had been only seconds before. 00:23:04 Speaker 4: I returned to my people, But first I must warn you about what these people will do to your people in the future. 00:23:15 Speaker 1: They must have known instinctually on some level that the message he was about to impart would not favor them, but they were mesmerized just the same. 00:23:24 Speaker 10: Once all called the lam son of the Man whose eyes are opened, who he is the world of God and sees the vision of the Almighty. A star rise from Jacob a scept from Israel. You must smash the warhead of Obe. 00:23:47 Speaker 1: Bailamb looked meaning for at Bailak, who was still enraged, but enraptured by the prophecy. 00:23:53 Speaker 10: You don't be calm possession, but Israel would be triumphed. Cheek oh yes, and cossnations was his end is stretched. The Lam's fire courseness can survive when card acts. 00:24:17 Speaker 1: Baylam's words hung in the air, carried off by the wind and rain that filled the long silence. At last, King Baylak moved, turning abruptly and trudging down the mountain without a word. His attendants trailing behind him. By Lamb doubted he would ever hear from the king again. The Medianite kings lingered, murmuring quietly among themselves, seeing their disinterest as a sign of dismissal, Baylamb gathered his belongings from the high place and loaded them onto his now thankfully silent donkey. He took deep, calming breath, feeling the initial surge of fear Ebb as his heart steadied, lo as moons passed, his anger began to simmer. He had been made a spectacle humiliated. 00:25:08 Speaker 7: How can I imply my cravenel, How can I possibly return to my homeland with my pride and tact? 00:25:15 Speaker 4: This God of Israel has made a fool of me? 00:25:19 Speaker 1: He stopped short. It had been his plan all along. He realized this was the reason he was permitted to come here at all. 00:25:27 Speaker 4: This Israelite God had no intention of relenting or changing his mind. All he ever wanted was to use me like a puppet. 00:25:37 Speaker 1: Revenge. The word took root in Baylamb's mind and heart, expanding with each breath. He had never felt such humiliation, such fear, or the terrifying loss of control he'd experienced when the God of Israel spoke through him. The memory made him shudder. But going against this god directly would be foolish. Bailamb knew better than to challenge prophecy. Still, he pondered an alternative, a way to undermine this God's will and pride. A sly smile crept across his lips. As a plan began to form. He recalled the oracle and noted a glaring omission in the list of Israel's enemies. His eyes slid to the Medianite kings, still gathered and murmuring among themselves. Across the clearing. With renewed confidence, Bailamb smoothed his robes, pushed his damp hair back from his eyes, and walked toward them, each step fuelling his newfound resolved. 00:26:41 Speaker 4: My kings, I have more to say that you may like to hear. 00:26:46 Speaker 1: The Medianites inclined their heads and edged closer to Bailamb. Intrigued, they leaned in to hear Baylamb's advice. 00:26:58 Speaker 6: What a story we have today. Balac, the Moa Bai king, was desperate to bend God's will. He tried everything, moving Balam from place to place, as if changing the scenery could somehow alter God's plan. But it didn't, because God's will cannot be swayed by human desires. Balac thought he could force the Lord's hand, but you can't twist the will of the creator. Balam was a prophet, yes, but also a man torn by greed. He knew what God wanted, but his eyes they were fixed on his own gain. He thought he could have it both ways, serving God and serving himself. But God's will demands our whole heart. But what Balach intended for harm, God transformed into a blessing. And this is something I want to come back to before we go today. But first I want to talk about tense, the Chosen People's tents. In chapter twenty four, verse five, Balam utters these words, quote, how beautiful are your tense Jacob, your dwelling places Israel? End quote. The Jewish prayer book in Hebrew, which is called the Sidur, begins with these very words matovu or alera yak kov. That's how you say it in Hebrew, and these words are still spoken today whenever anyone enters the synagogue. Let me tell you that verse again in English, how beautiful are your tense Jacob, your dwelling places Israel? And again in Hebrew matovu o alera yakov misk ysrael Well. Jewish tradition teaches that dwelling places here refers to synagogues, places where God's presence dwells. But think about it. We begin our prayer service with the blessing that was spoken by someone who is not even part of the Jewish people, and in fact was actually in enemy of ours, And that reflects the hope we have for the future that the entire world will recognize the God of the universe and the spiritual beauty of His holy spaces. This is one of the reasons I treasure the close and loving relationship that Christians and Jews have developed within the fellowship that I lead, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews together. I see our vision and our work as being very similar to the vision of the ancient sages who placed Balam's blessing at the beginning of prayer book. It's a vision that recognizes the uniqueness of the Chosen People and invites all nations to bless them. It's a vision that recognizes even those who maybe one time wanted to curse the people of Israel, those who maybe were part of being anti Semites and hating the Jewish people for no reason, even those people can change their hearts to recognize God's word and the glory that dwells within His word through the Chosen People. I also want to take a look at the Hebrew for your dwelling places in this verse, the way that you say your dwelling places is mishkin no teja, which is actually the plural of the word mish khan, which literally translates to tabernacle, and so the literal translation is not your dwelling places, it's your tabernacles. Well, we know that a tabernacle is a dwelling place for God, a place for all to come in worship, and that's why we relate it to the synagogue or a place of worship. Today, Balam's blessing praises both the tents and the tabernacle of Israel. Because of our mission and the role of Israel, the people of Israel are called with a responsibility to be a light to the world, to inspire the world to draw closer to our God, the God of Israel. One way we do this is through what happens to us in public on the world stage. This is like the tabernacle or the temple in Jerusalem that Isaiah called a house of prayer for all nations. Ki be ti bit phila le co ha amim. That's how you say in Hebrew, my house is a house of prayer for all the nations. Well, the tabernacle is where the entire world encounters the God of Israel. But we also inspire the world with what goes on in our tents, in the private domains of our homes, around our Shabbat table, when we're praising and worshiping God, with our families. 00:31:51 Speaker 10: You see. 00:31:51 Speaker 6: As people of faith, we learn from this verse that it's our responsibility both to praise God in public and give him a goodad name, but also in the privacy of our own homes that too, resonates out to the world to bring blessings. Jewish tradition teaches that since Balam's real intent was to curse Israel, if we look at the blessings that he spoke, we can find hints at the curse that he really had in mind. In the first blessing that was spoken by Balam, he said, quote from the rocky peaks, I see them from the heights. I view them. I see a people who live apart end quote, seeing the nation of Israel as separate quote A people who live apart end quote has been the basis for much hatred of Israel throughout the centuries. By saying this, Balam revealed what he thought would be a curse, our separateness, but is actually our separateness, which has also been a source of our greatest blessing. It's what has kept our faith intact, has kept us united as a people. We have lived with full faith in the promises of God's covenant, through the darkest times in our history, when the Jewish people were scattered, were separate on all four corners of the earth. While the return to our land to flourish and prosper there again seemed historically unrealistic, it was actually the blessing of Balam that constantly reminded us of the uniqueness of the story of the Chosen People. That we weren't physically all in the same location, but we were united in spirit, and we had faith that eventually we would come home to Israel, just exactly what God made happen. 00:33:42 Speaker 1: You can listen to The Chosen People with the Isle Eckstein ad free by downloading and subscribing to the Pray dot Com app today.
