Joe: Alright, let's get into it. So, what do you have for us in Numbers 24?

Bible Expert: Well, Joe, Numbers 24 talks about the prophecies of Balaam. He was a non-Israelite prophet who was hired by the King of Moab to curse the Israelites.

Joe: Okay, so Balaam was a prophet for hire?

Bible Expert: Yes, that's correct.

Joe: Wow, that's pretty wild. So, what did Balaam have to say about the Israelites?

Bible Expert: Well, instead of cursing the Israelites, Balaam blessed them. He said that they were a people that God had blessed and that their enemies would not be able to stand against them.

Joe: Interesting. So, what else is in Numbers 24?

Bible Expert: Well, there is also a prophecy about the coming of the Messiah. Balaam said that a star would come out of Jacob and a scepter would rise out of Israel, and that the Messiah would be a ruler of all nations.

Joe: Woah! Jamie, make sure that's true. (Jamie Googles it) Alright, sounds good. Anything else?

Bible Expert: Yes, there is also a prophecy about the nation of Edom. Balaam said that it would be destroyed by fire and that its people would be scattered to the four winds.

Joe: Wow, that's pretty intense. Alright, well that's all the time we have for today. Thanks for joining us!
