A short study related to a group of people who are regarded as “nestlings”.
These people are metaphorically represented as builders of interwoven nesting materials.
They build upon a network of sticks and branches to to secure political, commercial, and religious affiliations.
In the bible, the nests of Numbers [24] and Ezekiel [31] are related to having these built nests located into strong places, certainly out of any person’s reach, but even so, God can reach them. Someday, a strong wind will blow the existing invisible nest to the ground and the kings and merchants will mourn. Who will arrive to rebuild the world’s sticks of anguish, torments, selfish systems and rudiments based upon ungodly spoils?
First, it will be useful to understand the basis for the important words of “nest”, “kenite”, and also the name “Cainan”.
The word kenite (Cain-ite) is related to the people who are the natural offspring of Cain, half brother to Abel and Seth. Cain was conceived in the Garden of Eden, as she was wholly seduced by the serpent and took “fruit” from the “tree of knowledge of good and evil”. If more info is needed on that point, please see the study at:
https://www.ourgoodshepherd.org/eden-trees/
for details on this event in the Eden garden.
This “tree” is not a literal tree but the being called “satan”, and Cain was a
son of satan and Eve’s fruitful sexual union.
“qayin” is Hebrew for word of “Cain” (Qin/Kajin) ( קַיִן ), while “qini” (#H7017) is Hebrew for word of “Kenite” ( קֵינִי ), and the Hebrew letters of “qên” are used for “nest” ( קָנַן ).
The Hebrew word “qinah” (#H7068 ) consist of the following attributes in its definition { envy, jealousy, zeal }. These traits are in the negative sense.

Now we can see how the people who are nestlings, will be addressed in the bible.
Numbers [24:20] “And when he looked on Amelek, he took up his parable, and said, ‘Amalek was the first of the nations; But his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.'”
[ed: Remember that it was the sons of Cain that were the first city dwellers, that first of the nations this is aimed at those city dwellers called Kenites.]
Numbers [24:21] “And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable and said, ‘Strong is thy dwelling place, And thou puttest thy nest in a rock’.”
[ed: Kenites is a Hebrew word that is only transliterated here, it means “sons of Cain”. God is saying that they think that they are so well protected that even a lion cannot dig into your nest through a solid rock.]
[ed: Here is a reference to the nests that the Cainite (Kenite) remnant like to
build for themselves.]
Ezekiel [31:6] “All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.”
[ed: Most birds build a nest ,from the intertwined network of branches
and other materials. It is a network of placed to make a comfortable place for itself.
Metaphorically, a network of commerce relationships, inter political and
religious endeavors cam also be construed as a nest.]
Numbers [24:22] “Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted,until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.”
Numbers [24:23] “And he took up his parable, and said, “Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!”
[ed: In the end, it will by Jesus Christ which will cause the Kenites to be
wasted. Asshur, is Satan, the father of Cain the first murderer. That Star out
of verse seventeen, is Jesus Christ.]
Numbers [24:24] “And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, And shall Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, And he also shall perish for ever.”
[ed: Chittim (Kittim) means “bruisers”, and these Elected people which will afflict (“humiliate” in Hebrew) the Assyrian (satan) who along with any other person who knowingly follows this fake spurious messiah, for even a “Hebrew” person, who will not live for the true God, YHVH will be lost forever.]
