From the surprising archaeological evidence surrounding Balaam to the Angel of the Lord confronting him on the road, this episode uncovers connections to Abraham, Paul's conversion, and the coming Messiah—the Lion of Judah and Bright Morning Star. Discover how God turns evil schemes into blessings, protects His people from unseen dangers, and remains faithful even when they are not.
