The "doctrine of Balaam" is spoken of in Revelation 2:14 , in allusion to the fact that it was through the teaching of Balaam that Balak learned the way by which the Israelites might be led into sin. (See NICOLAITANES .) Balaam was constrained to utter prophecies regarding the future of Israel of wonderful magnificence and beauty of expression ( Numbers 24:5-9,17 ).
