considered is Balaam's prediction of
the future of Gods people. Here
Gods Spirit spake through him. The
vision he had, of things that were to
be, was given him by the Almighty.
What he saw was n star aud sceptre
rising out of Israel and shifting Moab
from corner TO corner, aud destroying
all the children OF Sheth, of ''sons of
tumult." In Scripture language, the
star and sceplre stand for royalty.
The vision of Balaam was thus of Is
rael's conquering might and was full
filled in part in David's victories and
dominion over Moab and Edom. But
its final fulfilling has been thought to
be in the person of lsrael's greater
King, the Messiah. In this last view,
Moab and Edom would stand for any
and all enemies of Gods people, over
whom Christ shall finally triumph.
1t is not necessary to suppose that
Balaam himself knew far.reaching
and glorious his prophecy was. Nor
are we to think OF the victories to be
won by Christ as those of violence and
death. Chiefly he conquers by love.
As such u conqueror he is now advanc.
ing.
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
|. There was nothing surprising in
Balak's anger bad men commonly
hate those whose help in wickedness
they have vainly sought.
2. Balaam had no one but himself
to blame that he was now the object of
threats and taunts dalliance with
temptations gives the tempter an adj
vantage which he seldom fails TO use
to our humiliation aud terror.
), Balaam's ruling passion and
cherished sin was avarace it was this
which now involved him in shame,
and, so far as appears, proved his
ruin; ours may be something else, but
Tor that reason, it may be no less wick
ed and dangerous.
4. In this world obedience to God
may cost self.denial, and loss of wealth
and honor nevertheless in the end il
will be seen to be the good way, over
against which house full of silver
and gold would be nothing.
D. Fine words do not make true
saint, nor do noble impulses, or spirit
ual visions, or gifts of prophecy. True
religion is n matter of the heart and
the life. No man could utter loftier
sentiments than BaIaam; few have
been slaves of baser passions.
). Attempts to serve God and Nam
mon can never succeed God requires
the whole heart. Our Saviour has ut
tered solemn warnings against wAver-
ing or divided service: No man can
serve two masters.
:. The Divine kingdom is sure to
triumph. To be in it. and OF it, is to
be on what shall BY and by be seen to
be the glorious winning side.
