Firstly, the very fact that G-d chose to bestow His prophetic spirit upon a non-Jew\u2013 Balaam \u2013 to deliver prophecies and blessings to the people of Israel, and to announce the future Redemption, emphasizes that G-d&#8217;s power is not limited. This highlights the fact that G-d is the ruler of the entire world, thereby strengthening the first law of the Seven Noahide Commandments: the obligation to believe in one G-d and not to worship idolatry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Balaam himself, as a non-Jew prophet, demonstrated recognition of G-d&#8217;s absolute power, understanding that he could not act against G-d&#8217;s will \u2013 &#8220;I cannot transgress the word of the L-rd my G-d, to do anything, small or great (Numbers 22:18).&#8221; This recognition of G-d&#8217;s sovereignty over all creation is a core value for every Noahide. Furthermore, this story teaches that spiritual inspiration is open to every person who recognizes G-d&#8217;s power and dominion and prepares himself to accept His Kingship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The central miracle that Balaam came to curse the people of Israel but ended up blessing, underscores the principle that G-d is capable of turning any curse into a blessing. This insight also highlights the caution required of every person, to practice positive speech and avoid cursing others. A curse is a &#8220;double-edged sword,&#8221; and negative pronouncements can, G-d forbid, rebound and inflict harm upon the one who utters them. This understanding leads to a recognition of the importance of blessing and its positive effects, and to the realization that true power belongs to G-d alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Balaam&#8217;s prophecy concerning Moshiach (&#8220;A star shall step forth from Jacob, and a scepter shall arise from Israel&#8221;) is not confined to the Jewish people alone; rather, it is a universal prophecy that speaks of a Redemption that will affect the entire world. For Noahides, this prophecy is important as it strengthens their hope and faith in the coming of the Moshiach and a complete rectification of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story of Balaam is a lesson on G-d&#8217;s ability to act through various means, on His infinite power, and on His constant providence. For Noahides, it shows the importance of recognizing His sovereignty, and for the anticipation of the final Redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources: Numbers 22:18. Numbers 24:36.
