In the fourth prophecy delivered by Balaam, the focus shifts to the distant future, emphasizing the end time and the return of Jesus Christ as King of kings. This oracle highlights His royal power to defeat and rule over the enemies of Israel, with Edom and Moab bearing the brunt of His wrath at His return. These nations symbolize all who oppose God, underscoring the long-range nature of this prophecy. The coming of the Messiah is described as not immediate, with symbols of a Star and a Scepter representing His monarchy and authority. The passage also points to a great Ruler who will possess and rule over all, leaving no one to escape His judgment. Specifically, concerning Esau, which relates to Edom, the prophecy foretells that the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, while the house of Esau shall be stubble, kindled and devoured with no survivor remaining. This vivid imagery reinforces the ultimate triumph and dominance of Israel over its adversaries as part of God's unyielding plan.
