Balaam and his influence over Israel:
Balaam translates “Devour of my People”
He is listed among the FALSE PROPHETS 2 Peter 2: 1, 15
“loving the wages of UNRIGHTEOUSNESS”
Jude 1: 11: Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
Rev 2: 14 refers to the doctrine of Balaam.
But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication
Numbers 22 he Sought to curse Israel
Baalpeor actually is translated –BAAL at PEOR.
We have heard the story of how Balaam tried to curse Israel, but was unsuccessful because the LORD intervened.
But Balaam did not give up on his devious cause of casting a stumblingblock before Israel.
Have you ever wondered WHAT WAS: “the counsel of Balaam or the Stumblingblock of Balaam. ”?
Balaam counseled the women of Baal-peor to seduce the men of Israel into worshiping their idols and commit fornication. What he couldn't do through a curse, he did through seduction.
What was the outcome of this counsel?
Israel was Plagued for their actions with these women and the worshiping of their Idols.
Numbers 25: 9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

Hosea 9: 10
I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe (firstfruits) in the fig tree at her first time: [but] they went to Baalpeor, and separated (dedicated) themselves unto [that] shame; and [their] abominations were according as they love.
Numbers 25: 1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
Numbers 25: 2 2And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods
Numbers 25: 3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
Numbers 31: 16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
Rev 18: 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Just some thought provoking questions:
The Harlot of Revelations will TEMPT you through her seducing ways.
What price are you willing to pay when that stumbling block comes to your door?
How much will your idols cost you?
How many will FALL AWAY during this time of TEMPTATION?
Today is the day of SALVATION, put away your idols and commit yourself fully to the LORD. For ONLY under HIS wings, and HIS counsel will we survive this HARLOT.
