Balaam
Preacher's Analyst
Numbers 23:10
Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous…


I. THE MAN.

II. THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

III. THE WISH.

1. Natural.

2. Insincere.

3. Inconsistent.Lessons:

1. A good wish alone will never save the soul.

2. Even knowledge of the consequences of sin will not restrain a wicked man.

3. As wishes, knowledge, and human strength are insufficient, seek for Divine grace.

(Preacher's Analyst.)
