Both the Star and the Scepter refer to Christ. The Star is the heavenly Christ, and the Scepter is Christ as the One with power and authority. The greatest blessing to the children of Israel is Christ. As the Star and the Scepter, Christ will be the almighty One with all-inclusive power and authority.
Balaam’s first three parables concern the church, which is sanctified, perfect, and beautiful (see note Num. 24:51), whereas his fourth parable contains a prophecy concerning Christ. The church is sanctified, perfect, and beautiful when it is full of Christ. Christ is the content, the constituent, and every part of the church as the new man (Col. 3:10-11).
