Contributed by Rolando, Jr Pama on Jun 1, 2022 (message contributor)
Summary: • King Balak son of Zippor hired a Prophet named Balaam to curse Israel. • But everytime Balaam spoke, a prophesy of blessings came forth. • He said to the King that he received a command to bless and he cannot change it. • Indeed, if God blessed us nobody can nullify it.
