Bilam’s prophecies

Question:

How does Rabbeinu Bachya on 23:19 see Bilam prophecying the founder of Christianity?

Answer:

Rabenu Bechaya is quoting the Midrash Tanchumah and does not mention a particular person. All he says is that someone in the future will claim that he is G-d and will mislead the people. It is hard to know to whom he is referring to.
