The Day Deception Walked into the Camp (Numbers 25)

Just when Israel was on the verge of breakthrough, deception walked into the camp—not with curses or armies, but through compromise and seduction. In this powerful teaching from Numbers 25, Rabbi Cosmo Panzetta reminds us of the enemy’s oldest strategy: luring God’s people away from His presence by appealing to their desires. Discover what really happened with Zimri and Cozbi, why Pinchas’ bold act mattered, and how you and I can stay under the canopy of God’s protection today. Don’t let deception live in your camp.
