Introduction of Malachi Chapter 3
This
third chapter deserves special attention, for it's the chapter that is used to brainwash God's people. Only
the honest and true hearted, God sent servants will be willing to review these principles. Those who are
trapped in traditions will find these principles painful. Hopefully our special attention will reach the hearts of those who
love the truth, and bring them into a closer relationship with the Father. How many times have we witnessed our fellow worshipers making this
statement, "It was okay for my mother and father, therefore it must be right for me"? This mistake
is a dynamic weapon for Satan to use in order to keep us from the truth. The concern for whether or not our parents were taught
error doesn't phase some, and we would rather follow the traditions of our parents, than the truth of God's Word.
Our plea to our Christian brothers and sisters is; give the truth a chance as you study this 3rd chapter of Malachi.
The power of control that the Pharisees used over God people is also being used
by the leaders today and that control is tradition. This control has kept the people of God trapped in the law, unable to
see the true concepts of the New Testament.
Malachi 3: 7
Yet from the days of your fathers you have gone away
from My ordinances And have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you," says the Lord
of hosts. "But you said," In what way shall we return?"
I know you pastors are sick, but there's enough life in you to
see the word ordinances, which is plural. As we stated earlier in our writing, there were many violations
being addressed to Israel by God through Malachi.
Surely you
can raise your sick heads from your pillow of disrespect and see the words " Return unto Me". What does this mean
Pastors? How can Israel return to God? If they continue to offer the blind, lame, and
sick, will God accept them back?
If they continue to bring polluted bread and other spoiled foods for tithe on his table, will he accept them back?
Can money convince God to take them back?
Specific Ordinances
I challenge you scholar, produce a scripture
that will support an ordinance on giving money to the Father, of course there are two occurrences and they were once in a
lifetime commitment, for the Jews. Atonement money and Redemption of the firstborn (refer to Tithe Was
Food, Who Made It Money?)Pastors
answer these two questions
1. In the Ten Commandments, are there any ordinances
on giving money to God?
2. Where can we find financial ordinances in the word
of God?
Nehemiah mentioned other gifts being brought to the house of God, which were of value but they were not monetary. In
your devotion time read Nehemiah 10:34-39 for more information.
Malachi 3: 9
"Will a man and rob God? Yet you had robbed me! But you say," In what way have we robbed You?" In tithes
and offerings.
“Pastors" I've visited many sick folk who were able to talk with a sound mind, so
please tell me where is the money connection in this verse, or any verse in this book of Malachi, we want the book, chapter,
and verse, your philosophy, theory, and deceit will be unsatisfactory. Malachi charges that the people had robbed God, through a lack of respect
to both tithes and offerings; this complaint was a violation of the Mosaic Law. Tithes was food, which was given
to specific individuals as stated by the law, these offerings were sin offering, freewill offering and vow offering etc.
The prophet Malachi no doubt was familiar with the Mosaic Law, especially the book of Leviticus, which carries a more detailed instruction
about the Law. Pastors, is it possible that Malachi arrived at this word rob from Leviticus that says;
" I will also send wild beast among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy your livestock,
and make you few in number; and your highways shall be desolate. Leviticus 26:22 Surely this word rob does not mean to take money from the children or parent, if this
is the case, then the word rob in Malachi 3:8 has nothing to do with money. The New Testament
instruction on giving is characterized by freewill; "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,
and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or
of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 As a matter of fact, when it came down to giving money
to God, it was always freewill offering, in both the Old and New Covenant.
Malachi 3:9 You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation.
When you grievous wolves
meet the wrath of God, what are you going to do with this scripture that says; "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law,
having become a curse for us(for it is written" cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree") Galatians 3:13 Why have you declared this verse a lie? There's no
different in the attitude between Israel violation and your declaration, they both stink in the nostrils of God. What are
you sick dogs going to do when you face the wrath of God, for Galatians 3:13 condemned your teaching?
Malachi 3: 10
Brings all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house.
And try Me now in this," Says the Lord of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out
for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. There are a few questions I would like to ask concerning
this verse pastors.
1. Do we take money to a storehouse or to a bank?
2.
Which one is more valuable to Israel's suffering, rain or money?
3.
Can you prove by the word of God that the Windows of Heaven were not a outlet for rain?
4.
Can you prove by the word of God that anything other than rain comes from the Windows of Heaven? Why is it so difficult for you
to understand that, God desires volunteer actions of love when offering gifts to His Holy Name? Whether your offering is money,
time, hospitality to the poor, visiting the sick, and those in prison. God wants to prove our love without
any law, commandments or any promise of profit.
Windows of Heaven
Always = Rain
I am obligated to confirm my statement by the Word of God.
If you sick dogs want to stop my mouth, use the Word of God to prove my statement wrong.
My Supporting Evidence
“In
the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day
all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was
on the earth forty days and forty nights.”Genesis 6:11-12 “The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were also stopped,
and the rain from heaven was restrained.” Genesis 8:2 "If you walk in My statue and keep My
commandments, and perform them, then I will give you rain in its season, the land shall yield its produce,
and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit." Leviticus 26: 3-4 “...then I will give you the rain for your
land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. And
I will send grass in your field for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled. "Take heed to
yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them, lest the Lord's anger be
aroused against you, and He shut the heavens so that there be no rain, and the land yield no produce, and
you perish quickly from the good land which the Lord is giving you." Deuteronomy 11:14 -17 "
When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence
among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turned from
their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:13-14
"The Lord will open
to you His good treasure, the heaven, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to
bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. Deuteronomy
28:12 "The Lord will change the rain of your land to powder and dust; from
the heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed.”
Ezek 34: 26-28 And I will make them and the
places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall
be showers of blessing. 27 And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall
yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands
of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them. 28 And they shall no more
be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make
them afraid.
My
final question here for you pastors, How could you associate money with these scriptures? In regards to Matthew 23:23"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weigher matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith.
These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.” Matthew 23: 23
To you scholars who warp the concept of this verse; answer me these few questions:1. Does the word Law have significance?2. Does mint, anise, or cummin
have any relationship to gold, silver, shekel, or food? Mr. Webster associates all the above with food, if your definition is different,
then tell me where did you get your information.
Tithe Was Food, Who Made It Money?
Introduction
The written word of God wasn’t available for
all, therefore our ancestors had a legitimate excuse for their error but in these days and times man can’t justify their
involvement in such error, and that includes the Law. As a result of fulfilling their dreams and egos, pastors have surpassed
the ignorant deeds of our ancestors. Beyond these despicable things, they have willingly withheld the truth of God’s
word from His people, now God is angry. Paul made a statement concerning the Old Testament, that, it was given for our
learning and examples. Well! It seems to me, if we need Old Testament guidelines on how we should give
money to the work of God, then we should review those scriptures which have relationship to money. Pastors have refused to
dwell on these scriptures, and the reason is simple these scriptures always encourage freewill giving. Therefore they resort
to distorting the word blessing and the principle of the book of Malachi. This deceit in regard to the Mosaic Law has been
successfully accepted by God’s people. It’s my intention to produce a portion of these scriptures that is being
distorted, which will verify my statement.
Tithes
Was Food
Pastors,
I challenge you for biblical proof that tithes was collected from gold, silver, shekel, or any other monetary inscription.
I do mean biblical facts and not your philosophy, theories and your but-ya-sees. The origin of tithes is a seed, the essence of tithe is food,
the purpose of tithing is that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always Reference scripture, And you shall eat before the Lord your God, in the place where He chooses to make
His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds
and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the
Lord your God always. Deut.14:23
There is no question whether grain has monetary value. But it has no direct connection with gold, silver and shekel for
these things do not seed. It doesn’t matter how much gold, silver, or shekels you may plant into
the earth, they will not reproduce. Tithe has always come from things that produced seeds.
Tithes Are Now Reserved From
the Fire
Down through the years God altered the procedure
of consuming the tithes. Did I not chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to offer upon My altar,
to burn incense, and to wear ephod before Me? And did I not give to the house of your father all the offering of the children
of Israel made by fire? 1 Samuel 2:28 And the Lord spoke to Aaron: Here, I Myself have also given you
charge of My heave offerings, all the holy gifts of the children of Israel; I have given them as a portion to you an your
sons, as an ordinance forever. This shall be yours of the most holy things reserved from the
fire: every offering of theirs, every grain offering and every sin offering and every trespass offering which
they render to me, shall be most holy for you and your sons. In a most holy place you shall eat it; every male
shall eat it. It shall be holy to you. Numbers 18:8-9 The fact that God reserved the tithes from the fire and permitted the Levites to eat
them doesn’t change the principle or purpose of the sacrifice. As we have stated the principle of tithe has
remained the same throughout the course of the Bible. As a farmer Cain offered a detestable thing from
the ground before the Lord, therefore the Lord rejected his offering. It was Abel’s responsibility to care for the livestock.
Therefore he offered to God the best from the flock, and the Lord was pleased with his offering. And in the process of
time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. Abel also brought of the
first born of his flock and of their fat, and the Lord respected Abel and his offering, but he did not respect Cain and his
offering. And Cain was very angry and his countenance fell. Genesis 4:3-5 Cain and Abel were obviously taught to offer God the best of their substance, in
doing so they showed respect to Him. Anything offered to God that is blemished, broken or having any defect shows a lack of
respect to Him, = To robbing God.
