but it's also wickedness to starve an animal to death knowing that you're
doing it don't think that's weird numbers chapter 22 turn over to numbers
chapter 22 see and there is a balance to all this obviously but it's funny the
more I studied about this I was like man there's a lot of scripture just on
animals and how to treat them and and things like that so numbers 22 verse 20
this is the story of Balaam talking and is when asked talk to him right verse
number 20 and numbers 22 says and God came unto Balaam at night and said unto
him if the men come to thee or come to call thee rise up and go with them but
yet the word which I shall say unto thee that shall thou do and Balaam rose up in
the morning and saddled his ass and went with the princes of Moab and God's anger
was kindled because he went and the angel of the Lord stood in the way for
an adversary against him now he was riding upon his ass and his two servants
were with him and the ass saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way and his
sword drawn in his hand and the ass turned aside out of the way and went
into the field and Balaam smote the ass to turn her into the way so he beats him
somehow I don't know what he does maybe slaps him in the face or whatever I
don't know it says but the angel of the Lord stood in a path of the vineyards a
wall being on this side and a wall on that side and when the ass saw the angel
of the Lord she thrust herself unto the unto the wall and crushed Balaam's foot
against the wall and he smote her again so he hits the ass twice right and the
and the angel of the Lord went further and stood in a narrow place where was no
way to turn either way to the right hand or to the left and when the ass saw the
angel of the Lord she fell down under Balaam and Balaam's anger was kindled
and he smote the ass with a staff so now he's beating this animal with a stick
right and all the animals trying to do is protect him it's trying to do the
right thing right and the Lord opened the mouth of the ass and she said unto
him Balaam what has what have I done unto thee that thou hast smitten me these
three times kind of a strange thing to happen right all sudden your animal
starts talking to you right but I believe that every word in the Bible is
true amen I believe this happened and people like oh no way that ever happened
look God made it happen it said the Lord opened the mouth right and Balaam said
unto the ass because thou hast mocked me I would there were a sword in my hand
for now I would kill thee now think about Balaam is Balaam was a false
prophet he was a wicked person and he was trying to do wickedness so and it
says and the ass said unto Balaam am not I thine ass upon thou hast written every
ever since I was ever since I was dying unto this day was I ever want to do so
unto thee and he said nay then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam and he saw the
angel of the Lord standing in the way and the sword drawn in his hand and he
bowed down his head and fell flat on his face and the angel of the Lord said unto him now
listen to what he asked him wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three
times you know so you think what you know what's God gonna say to him right
off the bat he says why did you beat your animal you know why did you beat
that animal like that behold I went out to withstand thee because thy way is
perverse before me this guy's a pervert this guy's a weirdo this guy's a false
prophet and he was what what what a fault what is this false prophet doing
beating his animal for no reason kind of weird right and the ass saw me and turned
from me these three times unless she had turned from me surely now also I had
slain thee and saved her alive so he's saying if the animal had to done that
and you would have kept coming I was gonna kill you and I was gonna save your
animal okay and Balaam said unto the angel of the Lord I have sinned for I knew not
that thou sit us in the way before me now therefore if it displeased thee I
will get me back again so I don't think God's pleased at all with the straight
up abuse of animals for no good reason I that's why I say I think it's wickedness
because I don't think it's right for people to just beat and hurt animals for
no reason okay now animals attacking you rend it like a kid animals that latch on
your hip stab it in the face animals attacking your children beat that thing
within an inch of its life or kill it or whatever you got to do okay we're
supposed to have dominion over the animals okay the animals aren't supposed
to have dominion over us
