Numbers 22–24 :: A Talking Donkey and God’s Unstoppable Blessing

In this episode, we step into one of the most surprising stories in the Bible — talking donkeys, hired curses, and blessings that can’t be stopped.

 

We meet Balaam, a mysterious pagan prophet-for-hire. He’s not part of Israel, but he hears from God — and when the king of Moab tries to pay him to curse God’s people, things don’t go according to plan.

 

Today, we dive into:

 

·        Who Balaam really was (and why he’s so hard to pin down)

·        The ancient practice of paying prophets to curse enemies

·        That unforgettable moment with a talking donkey

·        And how all of this unexpectedly points to Jesus

 

Even in confusion, compromise, or enemy schemes, God’s blessing holds firm.
