“I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: There shall come a Star out of Jacob, And a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, And shall smite the corners of Moab, And destroy all the children of Sheth.”
Numbers 24:17 KJV
This is one of the most startling prophecies from the mouth of the most unlikely person. When Balak’s anger burnt and he was about to drive Balaam away, these oracles came as a warning to all the ungodly nations. The Spirit of God put His Word in Balaam’s mouth, opening his eyes and giving him knowledge of the Most High. Balaam saw the coming Deliverer-King as the Star-Sceptre Who would destroy Israel’s enemies of that time, as well as the ungodly nations of the world to establish His righteous Kingdom. Christ our Morning Star has come and dispels darkness. He is the great Sceptre Who rules with authority and power to reign in righteousness. He destroyed the enemy at the Cross so at His Name demons tremble and flee, sickness bows down, storms are stilled. Let the revelation of the Star-Sceptre come to all who believe, so we will walk in victory in Christ. Amen!
