"Listen up, recruits! Chapter 24 of Numbers tells us about a prophet named Balaam. Balaam is hired by a king to curse Israel, but instead of curses, God gives Balaam three prophecies of Israel's future greatness. Then, Balaam gives a fourth prophecy about a star that will come from Jacob and a scepter from Israel. He proclaims that the nation of Israel will have power and greatness forever. That's it, recruits. Now get out of my face and read it again! Dismissed!"
