After blessing Israel three times, Balaam prophesied concerning the End of Days (Numbers 24:14). Ramban (Nachmanides) comments that Messiah will be more like "a shooting star," whereas all eyes will see him flashing across Shomayim (Heaven). "Look, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye shall see Him, even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth shall mourn because of Him. Yes, amen!” (Revelation 1:7, TLV).
