Numbers 23:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 23:20
Balaam states 'I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.' The phrase 'I cannot reverse it' emphasizes absolute impossibility—no power can undo God's blessing once pronounced. God's blessing on Israel wasn't conditional on perfect obedience but flowed from His sovereign choice and covenant faithfulness. This anticipates the New Testament teaching that nothing can separate believers from God's love (Romans 8:38-39).
