1. God blesses his people (1-11)

Balaam turned his face towards Israel. God prophesied again through Balaam. God's people are like a fruitful valley, like gardens by the river overflowing with blessing. God will make them into a powerful nation. They were made strong by the grace of God. Again Balaam and Balak refused to repent despite seeing God's love for his people.

2. God leads his people to victory (12-25)

Balaam told Balak what God would do through his people in the years to come. King David would rule four centuries later. He would extend Israel's borders to the promised limits. Under his reign many enemies would be defeated. The prophecy also looks forward to the coming Messiah. God filled his people with hope. Nothing could change this hope because God is the sovereign Lord who does this (23b). There is assurance in God's hope.
