E12: Disturbing Teachings In Jewish Scripture
Talmud, Kabbalah, and Chabad
Balaam's Donkey and the Angel of the Lord.
In the Jewish Scriptures and the Christian Old Testament Bible, a story is told about Balaam and his donkey. Ignore the part about the donkey speaking Hebrew. In Numbers 22 we read.... "Then God’s anger was kindled (against Balaam) because he went, and the angel of the Lord stood in the road to oppose him. Now he was riding on his donkey and his two servants were with him. And the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn in his hand, so the donkey turned aside from the road and went into the field. But Balaam beat the donkey, to make her turn back to the road." So here is the question...why did the invisible Angel of the Lord need a SWORD? Do Angels have need of primitive man made weapons to do their killing? And if the angel of the Lord appears today would it be carrying the same sword or would it now carry an AR-15 or an Uzi? Just a thought.
GUYS I AM LOSING IT
I love the Old Testament (Jewish Scriptures) and Archaeology...GAH! What a find! This is so cool.
