Paul's warning in 1 Cor.10:8 against sexual immorality is tied to a very interesting historical incident--interesting in the sense that at first glance there doesn't appear to be much going on other than weak people stumbling into sin. At the end of Numbers 24 and the beginning of Numbers 25 we are not informed about anything taking place, however, on closer examination one learns that there was in fact a self-conscious plan designed to bring about the destruction of God's people in the hope of thwarting God's Kingdom purposes. This devilish plan was conceived by the God-hating spirit medium, Balaam whose goal was to pollute God's children. Satan continues in our day to fight against God's Kingdom by seeking to pollute His children. Sexual immorality destroys the testimony of God's children and renders their labor for Him ineffective. When we give in to sexual temptation we fail to realize that this is proof of the war we are in and that our enemy is out to destroy us.
