1) Where the enemy is not gaining an advantage he attempts a rule 

change. V.13

(come, I pray thee, with me unto another place,)

2) The enemy’s new argument is that we are not seeing all there is

to see yet. V.13

 (from where thou mayest see them; thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, ) 

3) The enemy attempts to alter our allegiance to truth by introducing a different viewpoint 

or vantage point. V.13 

(and shall not see them all) 

4) The enemy’s objective doesn’t change though he wants the rules changed. V.13

(and curse them for me from there)

5) The enemy attempts to imitate or simulate a religious environment. V.14 

(and he brought him into the field of Zophim, …and built seven altars, …)

Using facsimile of truth, attempt to use for his gain.

6) Any place along the pathway of following God, the enemy will attempt to divert attention by altering the rules of obedience.  V.27

(and Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; perhaps it will please God that thou mayest curse them for me from there.)

7) God doesn’t alter His plan, his words, His authority, His purpose.

 We are not to listen to alterations of God’s plan.

Make sure it is God’s plan.
