*Balaam claimed to believe in the true God and to serve Him.
*Judas believed in Christ and was a follower of His.
Balaam and Judas both had great light given to them.
Balaam and Judas both cherished a sin that deforemed their character.
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2 Corinthians 4:4
*Balaam wanted to gain the riches offered by the king of Moab
*Judas hoped for riches in an earthly kingdom he thought Christ would set up
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 2 Peter 2:15
*Balaam betrayed the people of God by attempting to "curse" them
*Judas betrayed the Christ Himself
He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of
Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the
twelve. John 6:71
