• The grand question in this touching scene is this, “Can Satan succeed in cursing the people of God, so as to prevent their entrance into the land of promise?”...It is God who, of His own will, interferes to take the part of His people against the enemy, and that even without their knowing it, or asking for it.

• Balaam and his evil doings are brought before us in eight books of Holy Scripture—five in the Old Testament and three in the New. This fact is sufficient to prove the seriousness of his activities. The last mention of Balaam (and Balak) is in the epistle to the assembly in Pergamos (Rev. 2:14). We learn from this that the wickedness of Balaam and Balak has been reproduced in the Christian circle. (“Part 2-Balaam: "Thou Hast Seen It"” by W.W. Fereday)
• Direct divine revelation is the only explanation of other chapters than Numbers 22-24 Take, for example, the first two chapters of the book of Genesis. There we are told of what God said and did day after day during His great work of preparing the earth for the habitation of man, and when the moment came for the man to be created God said: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion.” There was most certainly no scribe standing by to record all that the Creator did and said during those wonderful days; and we must have remained in eternal ignorance of it all had not God been pleased to make the whole matter a subject of divine revelation to the historian. (“Part 2-Balaam: "Thou Hast Seen It"” by W.W. Fereday)
