NO MISFORTUNE: Magic, witchcraft, enchantment, divination, reading if horoscope and all that is A MISFORTUNE - bringing it to our language, sin in its high level. To these believers and Church that rid themselves of trusting in the works of men, and fully trust in God's divine power, HE WAS FOUND TO BE A SAFE HAVEN. Theirs were the prophets and the rim and turim. They was none who was an enchanter nor divines nor those who engaged enchantment or divination.

AND WHAT IS THE INIQUITY HE DID NOT FIND IN THEM? 1. SO THIS US WHY HE FIGHTS FOR THEM LIKE THE WILD OX - A CASTRATED BULL. The verse 21 gives us a clear view and this will help those who always like quoting scriptures at random. 23"For there is no omen against Jacob, Nor is there any divination against Israel At the proper time it shall be said to Jacob And to Israel, what God has done!… 22"God brings them out of Egypt, He is for them like the horns of the wild ox. …21"He has not observed misfortune in Jacob Nor has He seen trouble in Israel The LORD his God is with him, And the shout of a king is among them. And Ballam recognizes that even he the king of destruction has to bow when God arises! Blessings are installed instead of curses. Destruction by words also called curses are turned into Edification. Therefore the bitter defeat of Balam is evidenced whiles engaged in the war itself. This is his second oracle after his first contact against God's divine purposes set for his children on their journey in conquest of the promises land. I mean I whose art and profession is to skillfully wage an evil war with words (prophecy or what is called, incantation), against God (for whoever fights against God's children has declared war on God Almighty himself). A false Prophet, The devil's spokesman in person. This is the CONFESSION of a magic priest. Let's look to the whole context and then you will get the picture if God's mind for His Church as illustrated to me. So in this wise the notion carried by many on this verse changes and table turns. Jacob infers to the Believer and Israel infers to The body of Christ or The Church as a whole.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary for his part assures those children of God who will free themselves from faltering between two opinions by faltering between God and the gods and be proven as "enchantment and divination free-Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob- THEN such shall proudly declare that, "No art can ever prevail against a people who are under the shield of Omnipotence, and for whom miracles have been and yet shall be performed, which will be a theme of admiration in succeeding ages." What hath God wrought! or, "what God doeth." The meaning seems to be that augury and divination were useless and vain in the case of Israel, because God himself declared and would declare his mighty acts in behalf of his people, and that by no uncertain vaticination, but by open declaration. Rather, "in season," i.e., in God's good time, "it shall be said to Jacob and to Israel. According to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel. Therefore, It was the proud peculiarity of Israel that he trusted not to any magic arts or superstitious rites, uncertain in themselves, and always leading to imposture, but to the direction and favour of the Almighty. That as prescribed by the Law if God in Leviticus 19:26, where there was no practice of such as forbidden to Israel or, "in Jacob," as the marginal reading, and this is favoured by the Septuagint and the Targums, and is equally true and striking. To this end, the Pulpit Commentary properly reflects that, Enchantment, נָחַשׁ.
