Malachi 3:10 - "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house... saith the LORD of hosts."
What and where is that "house?"
Exodus 25:22; 1 Kings 8:10-11, Numbers 7:8-9; 1 Kings 8:29, 1 Kings 9:3; 2 Chronicles 7:15-15; - - - See especially Deuteronomy 12:4-14.
Those that offered their sacrifices and gave their tithes in " every place that thou seest" were the ones who " robbed God." The tithe was specifically for the House in Jerusalem. Anything else was "robbing God."
Where do you send your tithes? |
Could your local church be considered "God's House". A place of worship ,etc
