INQUIRER: Why is He called the star of Jacob in Numbers 24:17?

Bro. Eli Soriano (EFS): The Bible uses the star in different categories. Have you read of the dream of Joseph when the eleven stars bowed down to him including the moon and the sun? Right? Weren't the stars in his dream his brothers, not the angels? Not all of the stars mentioned in the Bible are angels. It is also used for man. Listen. In Daniel 12:3 –

Bro. Daniel Razon (DSR): "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."

EFS: See that? The star is also used as a symbolism for man, for the wise. So, it is not a problem if - "Why was He called a star?" Because a star is a heavenly body that can be seen in a dark night. That is the star. And you know, brother, what else does the star denote? Satan is also a star, as well as his angels, they were stars to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness. They were called wandering stars. They don't have their own place in space. Space is so wide, but they are wandering stars. Let us read in Judas 1:13 –

DSR: "Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever."

EFS: Evil preachers and evil men are called in the Bible as wandering stars. So, star symbolizes many things. Now, for example, Christ, He can be symbolized by bread, water, rock; He can be symbolized by a star. But it does not follow that because He was symbolized by a star, you will already categorize Him as an angel. That is against the biblical commandment, brother.I hope you understand it.

INQUIRER: Yes. Thank you very much.
