And Moab was in great dread of the people, because they were many. Moab was overcome with fear of the people of Israel.

Numbers 22:3

You have heard the phrase, "If you can't beat them, join them." Moab feared the numbers of Israel, so they decided that since they could not hope to beat them by force, they would beat them another way. Balaam had a plan.

Behold, these, on Balaam's advice, caused the people of Israel to act treacherously against the Lord in the incident of Peor, and so the plague came among the congregation of the Lord.

Numbers 31:16

What was this plan? Its in the first verses of Numbers 25:

While Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to whore with the daughters of Moab. These invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. So Israel yoked himself to Baal of Peor. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel.

Numbers 25:1-3

The Moabites invited them to partake in their pagan culture, and they came.

Well, let me remind you that there are Moabites at your gates. God has not yet taken us out of the world, so we are, in effect, surrounded by Moabites. Jesus died and rose again nearly 2,000 years ago and He's still intimidating the world. And, intimidated, they will welcome us to partake in their pagan culture.

Let me encourage you to not go with them. There's a better plan. The Israelites were given the plan of conquest. We have a similar plan in the new covenant. A plan of conquest by evangelism. Get the gospel to every creature wherever you are. Pray for your coworkers. Pray for your neighbors. Pray for your family. Pray that God would turn their hearts of enmity into hearts of love for Him.
