Not Even Barbie Will be Spared
Numbers 24: 21-22
At this point, Balaam is rolling. He looks over and sees the Kenites and curses them too.
He says,
Yeah, you've got a secure dwelling.
It's like a nest made of stone.
But that's not gonna stop Ashur.
You'll be taken captive and destroyed.
It seems like Balaak has taken a big stick and beat a horne'ts nest trying to get honey. The result is a whole lot of stinging. Perhaps the message here is simply God's power. So much capacity for love and grace- but so much power to destroy when people try to manipulate Him.
This is a scary image to picture as God- until you frame it in its context. God is saying- don't mess with Me, and don't mess with My children. As one of God's children, it is comforting to realize just how much God has my back.
