The Temple Institute on Balak
The Temple Institute on Balak

What was it about the nation of Israel, perched on the east bank of the Jordan river, just weeks away from entering the land, that so terrified  other leaders?

Why were Balak and Balaam and the rest of the players and power brokers that made up the nations of the world so afraid?

Was it an impending 'occupation'? '

Apartheid'? '

Human rights abuses'?

No! No! and No! It was something much more threatening to the status quo that ruled the world back then, and even more so today.
