Numbers 29:1

What Balaam could not curse from outside he counseled from inside. Numbers 31:16 reveals that Balaam taught Balak to entice Israel through the women of Moab, the Balaam doctrine that Jesus names in Revelation 2:14. Israel cannot be cursed by a pagan prophet; it can be seduced by the culture it lives among. Phinehas the priest sees an Israelite man bringing a Midianite woman into the camp in full view of the congregation while they are weeping at the tent of meeting. He takes a javelin and follows them into the tent and drives it through both of them. The plague that was already killing people stops. 24,000 have died. God says of Phinehas: he was jealous with my jealousy among them so that I did not consume them in my jealousy, therefore I give him my covenant of peace, a covenant of a perpetual priesthood. Thread 4 is the seduction: Israel made genuine choices to join themselves to Baal-Peor through genuine sexual immorality. The consequences, the plague, were the genuine result of genuine acts. Thread 5 is the dispensational warning: the external enemy cannot defeat the covenant people; what destroys from within is the tolerance of what God has prohibited.
What Balaam's curses could not accomplish: Balaam's counsel to Balak did through seduction; the strategy that works against Israel is not frontal assault but compromise from within, and Numbers 25 names this pattern before Revelation does.
וַיִּצָּמֶד יִשְׂרָאֵל לְבַעַל פְּעוֹר (vayyitssamedYisrael le-Vaal-Peor): Israel joined himself unto Baal-Peor: vayyitssamedYisrael (was yoked to, joined to, from tsamad, to attach, couple, yoke together; the same word used for harnessing animals; Israel has harnessed itself to a foreign deity through the vehicle of sexual immorality with Moabite women; the strategy Balak employed through Balaam's counsel)

What Balaam could not curse from outside he counseled from inside. Numbers 31:16 reveals that Balaam taught Balak to entice Israel through the women of Moab, the Balaam doctrine that Jesus names in Revelation 2:14. Israel cannot be cursed by a pagan prophet; it can be seduced by the culture it lives among. Phinehas the priest sees an Israelite man bringing a Midianite woman into the camp in full view of the congregation while they are weeping at the tent of meeting. He takes a javelin and follows them into the tent and drives it through both of them. The plague that was already killing people stops. 24,000 have died. God says of Phinehas: he was jealous with my jealousy among them so that I did not consume them in my jealousy, therefore I give him my covenant of peace, a covenant of a perpetual priesthood.

Thread 4 is the seduction: Israel made genuine choices to join themselves to Baal-Peor through genuine sexual immorality. The consequences, the plague, were the genuine result of genuine acts. Thread 5 is the dispensational warning: the external enemy cannot defeat the covenant people; what destroys from within is the tolerance of what God has prohibited.
