=The prophecy says=
:[[Nu 24:17]] [given to Balak of Moab through Balaam] I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
The prophecy of Balaam does not indicate a literal star. How would a star come out of David? Once we recognize that it isn't literal, we are set free to understand the mystery.
'''I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not near'''
:The prophecy calls for a man in the future, who is at a distance.
'''there shall come a Star out of Jacob'''
:Using the name Jacob rather than Israel is a hint that the revelation is speaking of the flesh of the man.
:Star - כוכב 'the Son of God made distinct (clarified) כו as the Son of God כ revealed to man ב'
:Jacob - יעקב 'his flesh יע in resurrection ק revealed to man ב'
'''a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel'''
:Now using Israel, his spiritual purpose is revealed:
:Sceptre - שׁבט 'shebet' tribe, rod. Since the prophecy calls for a man, referred to as "he", he will be the leader of captain of the tribe; a ruler. This is why Herod was worried.
:Israel - ישׂראל
:But the sceptre shabet שׁבט sounds like shabbat שׁבת sabbath which means 'rest'. The wise men from the east; from Moab, enemies of Israel, were not afraid to come to the newborn king because they knew he was a king of peace. This also was a clue that Herod would not be a king of peace. What need would there be for peace if Herod had already accomplished it. The prophecy warns them against Herod.
The prophecy says:
:[[Nu 24:17]] I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
:Star - כוכב '''shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth''':Jacob smite - יעקב wound. Consider the limping side of Christ; the bruised heal, the withered thigh. He wounded his flesh to be obedient in the spirit. :Sceptre corners - שׁבט:the corners of the field represent the Gentiles. They were not to be harvested by Israel - ישׂראל , but by the Gentiles and sojourners.:Moab - מואב 'those of the covenant of the father מ who are separated ו from the father אב':Sheth - שׁת buttocks, 6th(as in the 6th day). :He shall make them obedient (smite the flesh), the gentiles who are of the covenant but separated from God. And destroy all the children of Adam (of the flesh). The wise men saw that the peace offered by the new king was in the conquering of the flesh and joining all men as new creations, no longer children of Adam.
:[[Isa 9:2]] The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
The great light is the holiness of God poured out on men.
