A donkey saw an angel, started talking, and was smarter than the prophet riding it — you can't make this up.
King Balak hired the prophet Balaam to curse Israel, but God had other plans. On the way there, Balaam's donkey kept stopping because it could see an angel with a drawn sword blocking the path — Balaam couldn't see it and kept beating the donkey. Then God opened the donkey's mouth and it literally argued with Balaam. When Balaam finally saw the angel, he realized his donkey had saved his life. Then instead of cursing Israel, God made Balaam bless them repeatedly. Balak was HEATED.
A king tries to hire a prophet to curse Israel, God says absolutely not, and then a donkey literally has to save the prophet's life because he couldn't see an angel standing right in front of him. You can't make this up.
NumbersWhen the Hired Hater Can't Stop BlessingKing Balak hires Balaam to curse Israel, but every time Balaam opens his mouth, God puts blessings in it instead. Three attempts, three Ls. Balak is absolutely cooked and God's people stay winning.
NumbersWhen the Hired Hater Becomes the Hype ManBalak hired Balaam to curse Israel three times and caught three blessings instead. Now Balaam goes full prophet mode, drops a star-and-scepter prophecy about a future king, and Balak is absolutely cooked. No cap.
