The Error of Balaam and Babylon

• This Error is not new but is seen at the dawn of mankind. The idea that government should systematically provide individual welfare through governments that exercise authority is seen in Mesopotamia and Sumer with the Turtledove Goddess of welfare.
• Balaam was a prophet from Mesopotamia (Deuteronomy 23:4), a region that includes the ancient city of Babylon, and the ways of Cain, Nimrod, Abimelech, Pharaoh, and Caesar.
• The "error" or "doctrine" of Balaam refers to seeking financial gain, with an appetite for the Dainties of rulers (loving the "wages of unrighteousness") and teaching Israel to sin through idolatry and the immorality fornication and national adultery, often by advising the Moabites and Midianites to seduce Israelite men with the same type of whoredom we see with Mystery Babylon in Revelation 17:5 "And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
• In the Book of Revelation, the "error of Balaam" is mentioned alongside the "doctrine of the Nicolaitans" and the "woman Jezebel" (often symbolic of Babylon the Great), suggesting a thematic link between a false religious influence, greed, idolatry, and the covetousness which makes men merchandise and entangles them again in the yoke of bondage.
• In summary, the "error" represents a greedy, idolatrous, and covetous influence over the hearts and minds of the masses under a stronge dellusion and a corrupt systems of covetous practices, including the symbolic Babylon of Revelation.
