Numbers

24.1    Interesting: apparently Balaam consulted the Lord by “sorcery”, which was forbidden to the people of Israel.

24.3    This introduces the impressive formula opening Balaam’s prophecies (also v15).

24.15         Balaam’s Fourth Oracle

24.17  This looks like a Messianic prophecy.

Psalms

Psalm 66

Psalm 67

67.1    This is reminiscent of the Aaronic Blessing in Numbers 6.24.

Isaiah

14.12  This section is often taken as a prophecy telling about the original rebellion of Lucifer, the Devil.

14.24         A Prophecy Against Assyria

14.28         A Prophecy Against the Philistines

1 Peter

2.4    The Living Stone and a Chosen People

2.13  Submission to Rulers and Masters

2.18    At this point Peter seems to be following in the tradition of Ephesians 5 and Colossians 3, addressing each group in turn.
