The Babylonish religious system of the end days is a blend of both good and evil (reminiscent of the tree by that name in Eden from which the serpent beguiled Adam and\u00a0<\/span>Eve away from YHVH\u2019s path of truth and righteousness into a false religious system).<\/p>\n<p>In the last days, YHVH is calling his people out of that false religious system (Rev 18:4) with its false prophets who prophesy a mixture of good and evil. What religious system is this scripture referring to that YHVH\u2019s people are caught up in? Reflect on the implications of this. To what degree have you heeded YHVH\u2019s call to \u201ccome out of her\u201d\u2014namely, any man-made religious or church systems that has components that are contrary to the Word of Elohim?<\/p>\n<p>Like mainstream Christianity, the Scriptures seems to indicate that Balaam had some knowledge of the truth of YHVH but refused to wholeheartedly submit to YHVH (2\u2009Pet\u202f2:15). Let us not forget Yeshua\u2019s warning about false prophets arising in the last days who might deceive the very elect (Matt 24:24).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Numbers 22:10ff,<\/strong> Carnal men want to be like YHVH\u2019s saints, to be the recipients of the blessings of Israel, and to be numbered among YHVH\u2019s chosen, but few want to walk the walk required to receive these blessings and privileges. Many will \u201ccourt YHVH\u201d by getting as close to him as possible without actually crossing over (becoming an <i>Ivrit\/<\/i>Hebrew) and surrendering their all to him. The sacrifice of doing so is too great for most. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To cross over to YHVH\u2019s side means that fame and fortune must be laid aside and one must become a servant-slave of YHVH. Balaam couldn\u2019t cross over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Most people in the mainstream church are like Balaam. How serious are you about serving YHVH? It is said of the end-times saints that they loved not their lives unto death (Rev 12:11). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Paul declares that followers of Yeshua must become \u201cliving sacrifices\u201d in service of YHVH (Rom 12:1). Yeshua gave his very life for you. Are you holding back some of your life for him? Do the cares of this world, the desire for pleasures, material goods, entertainments or acclaim still have a grip on your heart? Are they preventing you from moving into your spiritual calling and destiny\u2014to truly walk by faith?<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Would Balaam have been content in mainstream Christianity?',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2014\/06\/30\/would-balaam-have-been-content-in-mainstream-christianity\/',contentID: 'post-4956',suggestTags: 'Balaam,Christianity,Numbers,The Church',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Numbers 22:5, Pethor \u2026 by the river.
