Just type tenth in a Concordance it is shown over 63 times. There is something with the number and God has made it clear "the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord."

I mean I was looking at different scriptures just look at Isaiah 6:11-13 "Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, [12] And the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. [13] But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof."

Even like in Revelations 11:13 "And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven."

There is many more and I know these weren't about tithes but tithes does mean tenth,so what are the Spiritual ramifications of the tenth?

I want to say this I believe not paying your tithe sending you to hell is extreme. I can see it in the light of scripture, but at the same time I think that's extreme. I mean I cant speak for God, but I would say that I believe there would be more teaching of it, if it was a situation like that. But I do believe there is a Spiritual Principal with the tenth, that we shouldn't miss. Not because it will send us to hell, thinking like that is counterproductive. But more because we could miss out on a principal God was trying to share with us. One that is not just revealed to everyone. After studying this the way I have because of this, I feel stronger then ever about it. I really feel there is something there.

Please hear me I've been coming off wrong on you guys. I think I have set myself up as a opposition, and that cant work. Please forgive me all you guys I apologise.
