Now, now I realize that, that, that every now and again, some of you women folk, you get hot, you get bothered, and every now and again you get hot and bothered. Well, what I want you to do when you get that hot and you... need a little relief. I want you to I want you to call me.
Don't ask no questions. Good to see you today, Gloria. Good to see you too, Miss William.
Time. I am. He's his only son. And to do it, Abraham didn't ask.
No question. Thank you, baby. That's what God expects from his sheep.
Here at the great Adonis, a new revival tree of life. Institutional double rock on the side of the road. The Jericho missionary Baptist church. Zion.
And I say Mount Calvary. Y'all don't hear me. Preach on, Rebbe. Ain't that the truth?
God expects you to do. do what the Lord wants you to do. Like those of you who realize that the Lord wants you to give generously into his choice. Don't ask no questions. Don't ask how come, why come the pastor have to have him a nice house?
Why come a pastor got to have a nice car? Don't ask. I said don't ask. I said don't ask. No questions, just give the money Get the collection plate right on that side Nigga, get it around on that side Alright, we're gonna start Genesis 14 and 8 Every time tithing is put into place or we talk about tithing, a lot of times pastors want to go where?
We want to start with Abraham. But I'm going to say this. They say that tithing was before the law. That's what the average pastor would tell you.
Oh, man, I wasn't a part of the law. See, Abraham, you know, that wouldn't know. But what they failed to understand as we brought out some weeks back that there was what?
A oral law that was in operation. Before the actual law was put on tablets with Moses. They were following a law.
What is sin, y'all? What's the biblical definition of sin? 1 John 3. Transgression of the law.
Transgression of the law. So therefore, we brought out a couple weeks ago. When Joseph was in a situation with Potiphar.
What did he say out of his mouth? I can't do that and sin. What you mean sin?
So he had an understanding of what sin was if he slept with Potiphar's wife. He had a sin that was breaking some kind of law. So there was a law that was set.
Noah, when he was preaching, he wasn't preaching that was getting ready to rain. That sound real good. That sound like a good thing.
Oh, he was preaching it's going to rain. But he wasn't. The Bible says in Peter that he was preaching what? He was preaching righteousness.
He was preaching righteousness. So the people that died, they did not make it in the ark. Obviously, they did not receive the message of righteousness.
And they were unrighteous, so they perished. So understand there was a law. When Adam was put into the garden, he was put in the corner to keep it, to dress it. So understand there was a commandment told to him in Genesis 2 and 17. What was the commandment, Moray?
That you ain't supposed to be eating from this tree. Every other tree you can eat of. But eat of this tree is a no-no, Adam. You know, what did Adam do?
He ate of the tree. He broke what? The commandment. He broke the law.
that the Mosai gave them. So guess what? He eventually died and got kicked up out of the garden because he was disobeying.
He was against the law. So there was a oral law. It was not on tablets at that time, but it was a law that these patriarchs understood. Even when we understand, I believe it's Genesis 26 and 5, we understand that the Bible says that Abraham was keeping the law, statutes, and commandments. It says that in Genesis 26. that he was keeping the laws.
So there was a law, an oral law, that was in operation during that time. It just was not on tablets yet. It got on tablets during the time of what?
During the time of who? During the time of Moses. But there was a law.
The Messiah always had a standard. He always had a law from the very beginning. Hallelujah.
So what the pastors don't understand, the law was in operation before that time. But this is the first understanding we see, you know what I'm saying, of the tithe and being gave, all right? So let's read.
Tahan, you got me. Let's read Genesis 14, 8 through 10. Start it on the screen at verse 8, Aq. You there, Tahar? I got you.
All right. It says, And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Adma, and the king of Zebo'oam, and the king of Belah, the same as Oar. And they joined battle with them in the Vale of Siddam, with Cheddar Lamar, the king of Elam, and the title King of Nations.
and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Ariok, king of Eliezer. Four kings were five. And the Vale of Siddam was full of slime pits, and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled and fell there, and they will remain fled to the mountain.
All right, here we go. So there was a battle going on, all right? Sodom, the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah.
And Chetelomar, there was a battle of four kings against five kings. All right. So there was a battle going on.
Keep that in mind. This was four kings against five kings. There was beef going on.
All right. All right. So we continue to read on. And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Hold on. They took what? All the goods. Keep that in mind. Goods.
Keep the word. Goods in your mind, Mishmakah. Keep going.
And all their victuals. All right. Hold on. Victuals.
Keep that in mind. goods and vituals, Mr. Kha, as Tahan reads, keep those in the forefront of your mind. Okay, go on and read, sir. And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt on Sodom and his goods, and departed.
All right, so listen. So there was a battle going on, four kings against five kings. As we know the story, Abraham had a nephew, Lot. This was his brother's son. His brother was a died.
So Abraham promised his brother that he would take care of Lot, which was his nephew. So the Bible tells us that Abraham had great substance. Abraham had great wealth.
And so he had so much wealth, Lot had wealth. So the Bible says they had so much wealth that they was not able to live amongst each other because there was feuding going on amongst their herds and their people, Abraham's people. It was just too much.
So Abraham said, listen, You go choose a place, all right? All this land is before us, Lot. Whatever land you choose, all right, you go there, and I'll stay right where we at. The Bible says that Lot looked at the plain over there in Sodom. It was well watered.
He was greedy. He saw it was well watered. It looked good and all that.
He said, oh, I'm going to go ahead and take that land over there. But that land he took was near Sodom and Gomorrah, because we understand Lot was the what? He was the gatekeeper of that area. All right.
So I'm just giving you a background. All right. Go ahead and read verse 13. And there came one that had escaped and told Abram the Hebrew, for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, the brother of Anar.
And those were confederate with Abraham. So when the battle went on, because of greedy Lot, because he got greedy. and he wanted to get the plane that was well watered and everything looked good, he got caught up in the beef.
He got caught up with the kings, and he got captured in that time during the battle that was taking place. So they took Abraham's nephew, Lot, under captivity while that war was going on. And so it says that there was a servant that came and told Abraham what was going on, like, hey, Abraham, doing that.
a battle between the kings, they went and got your son. They got, they got, they got, excuse me, your, your nephew locked. They went and got locked. So Abraham was like, what?
Oh, I can't let that happen. I've got to go ahead and go ahead and get my nephew because I promised my brother that I was going to look over him. So this is what's going on. All right. So let's read verse 14. And when Abraham heard that his brother was taken captive.
He armed his trained servants, both in his own house, 318, and pursued them unto them. So Abraham said, we can't let that go down like that. I got to go get my nephew back.
So look at Abraham. Abraham, 318. 18 trained servants in his house. Abraham was wealthy.
He had money. And the Bible says he pursued them unto them. Verse 15. And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
Uh-huh, read on. And he brought back all the goods. Uh-oh.
They're that word goods again, y'all. Keep in mind, goods. Go ahead, Taha. And also brought again his brother Lot and his goods.
And the what? And the goods. Goods. All right. Goods.
All right. Go ahead. And the women also and the people. So Abraham came like gangbusters.
Abraham went there and got 318 of his servants and went and got his nephew back. slayed everybody took all the what goods he took the goods that they took from lot lot when they came when the kings came and got lot not only did they take lot but they took his goods and he took the woman so what did abraham do abraham went and gang busted them and took all the possessions that them kings took from his nephew and brought it back and also the woman so everybody that was taking the goods the woman everything abraham got it all back. All right, let's build.
Verse 17. And the king of Sodom went out to meet with him after his return from the slaughter of Chotah Lamar. And the kings that were with him at the valley of Sheva, which is the king's den. All right, so this is the king of Sodom after Abraham wrecked shop, got everything back. This is the king of Sodom coming out to meet Abraham.
I'm sure he was grateful. Like, man, bro, I appreciate that, man. They had us all hemmed up. All right, read verse 18. And Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine. Uh-oh, wait a minute.
Let me stop right there, Taha. And Melchizedek, all right, Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine. Now, I've heard some pastors say. that when Melchizedek came and this bread and wine was communion that the Most High or Melchizedek was having with Abraham and I cringed. Just on a side note, Mr. McCoy, is communion, is that biblical, is that Hebraic, or does that come from the Catholic Church?
Catholic. Catholic Church. Catholic Church, so there's no way in the world.
that Melchizedek was coming to have communion. Help us, y'all. Communion with Abraham.
Read on, please, Tyron. He was the priest of the Mosiah. He was the priest of the Mosiah.
Melchizedek was a type of Mashiach, or he was a type of Christ. If you read Hebrews chapter 7, and we'll probably get into that here a little later. If you read Hebrews chapter 7, This Melchizedek had no beginning and he had no end.
He had no genealogy. So pretty much he came out of nowhere. But the Bible says he was the king and priest of Salem. What is the Mashiach? He's a what?
He was a king and he was a what? Priest. He was a priest. He was a priest. So Melchizedek is a type of Mashiach.
He's a type of Christ. Okay, read on. Real quick, I want to say this. It says he's the king of Salem, which we know is peace. And later on, one of the prophets also described Hamashiach as the prince of peace.
So like you said, it's lying right up. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
All right. And he was the priest of the Most High YAH. And he blessed them and said, blessed be Abram, of the Most High YAH, possessor of heaven and earth. All right, let's build.
Verse 20. And blessed be the Most High YAH, which hath delivered thy enemies into thy hand, and he gave him tithes of all. Uh-oh. So Abraham, or Abram at this moment, Abraham is having a conversation with Melchizedek, which as we know was a type of Christ. And so he gave Melchizedek.
A tithe of all the possession and the goods and the victuals. Because remember, what was taken? Victuals and goods. Goods.
All right. So he gave him the tithe of all. Now let me ask a question real quick. Did Melchizedek demand this from Abram?
No. Or did he just willfully just give it to him? Did Melton Tate walk up on him and say, hey, you got that?
You got that tie? No. You got that tie, bro? I need that. I saw it.
I heard what happened. That's why I'm here. I heard what happened. So I'm here to get my temperature.
No. He didn't demand him at all. He gave to Abraham willfully.
This was the heart of Abraham. Abraham had a heart of the Mosiah. So he blessed, he recognized who he was.
He recognized who Melchizedek was. So he blessed him, he gave to him. Freely he gave it to him. Come on, Tahan, let's read verse 21. Verse 21, the king of Sodom said unto Abraham. Give me the persons and take the goods to thyself.
Uh-oh. You're that good. I'm about to show you what goods is in a quick second.
I'm going to help y'all today. All right? So he said, give me the persons and take the goods.
All right? All right. Verse 22, Tom. Verse 22. Abram said to the king of Sodom, I've lift up my hand to Adonai or Adonai Yah or Allah Hayyum. the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth.
Right. So here is the million dollar question. We didn't read this verse.
And I told y'all to remember these words when you see them. I highlighted it for you so you won't forget. Goods, tithes, and victuals.
Okay. Question of the day. What are that? So I'm about to give you an answer. I'm about to take the veil out.
What was Abraham? Give it to Melchizedek. All right. So before we go, was it money?
Did he give him $1,000? Did he give him shekels? Did he give him gold?
Let's see what this is, Mr. McCaw. Okay. Tithe. Understand that word.
Tithe. All right. From the Hebrew.
That word is ma'esah. Ma'esah. Ma'esah.
And it means a tenth. We understand that. A tithe, a tip part, payment of a tip. So whatever the goods were and whatever the victuals were, he gave Mechizedek a tip of what those things are. Let's see what they are, Mishpachah.
Okel, in Hebrew, what is victuals? Victuals is food. Food.
What happened? What's taken from Lot? When those kings came and got him, they took his food. They took his food from him. They took the camp's food.
Look, cereal. They took his Lucky Charms. They took his Cocoa Puffs.
They took his meat. Look, took all the meat. Took the food supply. When Lot stayed in the plain of Sodom, they had a food supply. Their food.
They had people that was living amongst them. The women, the men, the children. And they took all their food from them, the cereal, the food, and the meal.
That's what victuals is. Some people that have been in the Army, they still use that word, victuals. And it's the word okel, all right? Now, let's see what goods was.
Let's see what it was. See if it's money. That's another of Strong's eating food meal.
Let's see what goods was. Recurex. Bam! Property, goods, possession, property, livestock.
Did he give Melchizedek money, y'all? It said what the goods is. These are the goods that he gave Melchizedek. Property, the possessions. He gave them possessions, not money, y'all.
How did his pastors teach you? That when Abraham came to Melchizedek. And he gave them a tie. Yeah. Hallelujah.
And he gave him a tip part of that. And he put the money in his hand. So how could you not pay us all this stuff? All this stuff. And there wasn't no money.
All he gave this man was possession, goods. And it was not money. Livestock.
Oh, my goodness. I never knew this growing up in church. Never had a reason to research none of this. But he didn't give that man money.
But somebody say, well, they didn't have money back then. So now, you know, we don't have agriculture. We don't have these things back there.
You know, they didn't have it. But we're going to bring that out today. Do they have money? We're going to see.
But we understand that the tithing that Abraham gave to Mechizedek was not cash. It wasn't the benjamins. It was food.
It was property. It was goods. Hallelujah.
Praise Yah. Let's begin to dig. So with this understanding of these words, let's prove biblically.
That tithes wasn't money and the actual purpose of the tithe was. All right? Tithe in the Bible is only food, Ms. Fica.
Tithe of seed and of fruit. The fruits and vegetables. That was the tithe. It was not cash.
It wasn't running me my paper. It wasn't none of that. All right?
Leviticus 27 and 30. And all the tithe of the land, rather of the seed of the land. you see that ain't money or of the fruit of the tree is elohim's it is holy unto elohim look at that fruits and vegetables not money it was fruit it was food y'all it wasn't none of that leviticus 27 31 and if a man will at all redeem all of his tithes he shall add there to the fifth part thereof food Food, food, food, fruit, veggies, y'all. All right?
And Leviticus 27, let's bring it out. And concerning the tithe of the herd or of the flock, even of whatsoever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto Elohim. Meats.
It was food, y'all. We're proving all things right now. Food, not money, not cash, not rubbing my paper.
Where's my money at? No, none of that. Food.
This is the understanding of the Bible, biblical time. All right, we're bringing it out today. Tide is food. Deuteronomy 14, 22. Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed. What were they doing?
What was the increase of their seed they was putting in the ground? Something that would bring forth. If I put an apple seed in the ground and the apple seed. is germany is going to grow into an apple tree so therefore it's going to be abundance of apples that's going to be on the tree huh so you tied off of the apples of the tree that was tied the field bring it forth year by year you know i'll be 14 22. you still see do you see money here does anybody see money at all i don't i don't see it all right the instructions are to take the tide from the land fruits and meats, and take it to the place where the Most High name is. Did it say the church in there?
It said take it to the place where the Most High is. Did it say take it to Pentecostal by the Rock Church on the left side of Jehovah Jireh? It didn't tell you that. It said to the place the Most High called his name.
What is the place the Most High called his name then? We're going to bring that out because it definitely wasn't the church. All right. It wasn't an assembly.
It wasn't a kind of need to say nothing about money. All right. All right.
Second Chronicles six and six. But I have chosen Jerusalem that by name might be there and have chosen David to be over my people of Israel. You ask the question, where is the place that the Mosai chose to put his name? That name he chose was Jerusalem. Israel, Jerusalem, Yisrael, Jerusalem, hallelujah, Deuteronomy 14, 23. And thou shalt eat before the Elohim, Daya, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there.
We know that place is what? Jerusalem. That's the place he chose to put his name. The tide of the corn.
Oh, my goodness. The tide of the corn. of the wine, help us, y'all, of the oil and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks, that thou mayest learn to fear Elohim thy God. Wait a minute.
This was the tithes of corn, of wine, and of oil. Where's the money at, pastor? I'm just curious.
Where's the money? If you say, give me 10% of your increase or your earnings. You see the increase here? Biblical league was what? Food.
Go ahead, Taha. Hey, real quick, and stay on point. I don't want to get you deviated, but as you was talking, we talked about Melchizedek, what Salem means.
Jerusalem is, the name Jerusalem means the city of peace. So it all ties in, the city of peace, right? That's the name where the most high, that's where he chose for the times to take place, right? The city of peace.
Melchizedek is the- priests, right, of peace, right? The Levites were the priests in Jerusalem, the city of peace. So no matter how you slice it, you were tithing to the priest and the city of peace, no matter how you slice it.
You know what I mean? So I just thought about that as you were saying. Awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Awesome, Ty. Bring it out. Exactly.
Exactly. And we're going to bring that out even a little further of who the tithe was going to and why. These Christians had nothing to do with money, Mr. Kahn.
They were to take 10%. of all these things such as wine, corn, herb, flocks, and eat them in Jerusalem and enjoy the tithe. We're gonna bring that out, all right?
So, so far, what we understand, that tithing was not money, but it was the increase of their land, corn, herbs, flocks, things of that nature, their wine, it was not money, y'all. It was not money. We was beat down like Mike Tyson because we were not giving our money to these pastors. So we're going to continue to bring this out, to bring an understanding to our people that's still in that system of doing it and feeling beat down and guilt. Many times I felt bad.
I didn't have my tithe. I was told like you won't be cursed and all this type of things. And no, this stuff is terrible. Because our people do not study. But we're going to help somebody today, Taha.
We're helping them today. All right? Now, if the trip, understand that if the trip be long and your tithe was over the abundance, because understand this, three times a year, the male is supposed to come where? They were supposed to come to Jerusalem. All right?
For the feast. All right? And so sometimes.
Were you supposed to bring your tithes? Because you wasn't supposed to come empty-handed, Tihon, at all. You wasn't supposed to come to these feasts without no tithe or nothing.
So therefore, now, sometimes you might have had a good harvest that year. Man, your harvest was popping. Man, the herbs was popping.
The corn was popping. Everything was popping. The most I bless you, the fruits of your labors. So if you were not able to do that and carry all those oxen and all those herds and all these things to Jerusalem, what was you supposed to do? Then you were supposed to exchange the tithe into money.
That's the only time when you hearing about money. They had money, Mr. Pastor. They had money, okay? So this was the time when they took it and exchanged it into money, all right? So what happened?
You take the money and you go to Jerusalem. Deuteronomy 14, 25. Then I shall turn it into money. and bind up the money in thy hand, and shall go unto the place which Elohim thy Yah shall chose. We just brought out Chronicles 6 and 6. That place that the Mosai chose to put his name is what, Mishpachah? Where?
Where is it? Jerusalem. Huh? Jerusalem. Yes.
Jerusalem. All right. So.
Again, if your tithe was too great, you had a great harvest, and you had to go to Jerusalem, everybody was supposed to bring an offering. Everybody was supposed to bring a tithe on those feast days. But if you had too much, you were able to exchange your account to win for money, which means you sell it in, and you get money, and you go to Jerusalem with money in your hand to the place where the Mosai chose his name.
That was Jerusalem, all right? After the tithe is turned into money. Then in Jerusalem you shall buy the oxen, the wine, and the corn, and etc., and eat it there.
You and your household. All right? So understand, once you got to Jerusalem, with your money in your hand, everything that you sold before you got there, with your money, you buy back.
So everything you sold before you came, you know, and you took the money of that, and you go to Jerusalem, they had oxen, they had all that stuff there in Jerusalem. You take your money. and you buy it there, okay?
Let's get a precept. Deuteronomy 14, 26. And thou shalt bestow that money for whatever thy soul lusts after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or strong drink, or whatever thy soul desire, and thou shalt eat there before Elohim thy Yah, and thou shalt rejoice thou and thy household. Now, don't get it twisted now.
Let's get an understanding of this, Mr. McCall. So he said, you take the money and you shall buy whatever thou so desire. That didn't mean you took that money and you went to Jerusalem and started getting prostitutes and stuff like that.
That's not what that meant. Like you taking your money and you making it rain on prostitutes there with that money. No, you were supposed to take that money, all right? And you were supposed to buy what you could not bring down to Jerusalem, all right?
And you and your family and the household would sit in Jerusalem and you would eat the tide during that time. That's what it was for during the time of the festivals. This was a thing of unity and us coming together and eating the fellowship, all right? All right, so we were not able to go to Jerusalem and keep the tithe according to the Bible anymore.
Because we can't go to Jerusalem, nor do we own agriculture to bring tithe of fruit and meat. All right, so understand that. That's being the bill. All right, that's bill. Now, understand, who did the tithes go to?
Who was over the tithes or who was supposed to receive? the tithes, all right? It was the Levites, all right?
The Levites and the tithes. Let's get an understanding. The tithes was also, Mr. McCaw, for the Levites. The Levites did not have an inheritance as we brought out earlier in the land, so they depended on what?
On the other tribes, and they were dispersed throughout the other 11 tribes, and it lived within the gates of each tribe, all right? The other tribes had to take care of the Levites. Let me say that again.
The other tribes had to take care of the Levites. The Levites did not have an inheritance. They was not able to go out and plow and get certain things. Their whole responsibility was to what? It was to the temple or the tabernacle of the testimony.
That was their job. They camped around. They stayed around the temple. Their duty all day was to the most high. Their service all day was to the most high.
So they was not able to go out and do as the other tribes did. So guess what? The other 11 tribes were to bring to the Levites.
You cannot forsake the Levites at all. Let's get a preset. Deuteronomy 14, 27, all right?
And the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shall not forsake him, all right? For he had no part. nor inheritance with thee.
They were not to forsake them at all, at all. They were supposed to bring their tithes to these men of Yah, the Levites, all right? So tithing, after three years of increase, after three years of increase, still fruit and vegetables.
It's still fruit. It's not money, y'all. It's still fruit and vegetables.
Please, if you're watching this on YouTube, If you're watching this by Facebook, if you're watching it by every device that you're looking at, please get this and understand this, that tithing is not money, all right? It was still fruit and vegetables, but there is no trip to Jerusalem during that time. Stay within your gates.
Let's get a precept. Precept, Deuteronomy chapter 14, verse 28. At the end of three years. Thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thy increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates. Taha, you want to jump in on this? You want to land back on this so far?
Go ahead. Go ahead. I got some support for you.
Keep going, though. Keep going. All right.
The tithe after the three years was to go to the Gentile that came out of Egypt with Israel. the fatherless, the widowed, and the Levites. Y'all was going to increase the work of their hand so they could give more every round to bless their people in need. Now look how holy and righteous the Mosiah is. Even the stranger, the unclean that was around Israel, they were able to...
gleaned and able to eat because the Mosiah commanded that they will be fed. Everybody in the system of Israel at that time was going to eat. Once Amu repaid in full, my man said, everybody's going to eat. You know what I'm saying? And that was the mindset of the Mosiah.
Everybody was to eat. The widows was going to eat. The fathers was going to eat. The strangers and the poor was going to eat.
This was the system that was set up. How do we get to Christian church? And when the people come into need, the first thing they do, they get them books.
uh what's your name sister uh yeah we don't have any money you know i don't have a um husband and it's you know we're suffering during this time we kind of got behind our ramp oh excuse me could you pass me them books please what are those books bastard oh it's your tie history let's look at that and they open the books well it's like it was kind of choppy on your tie so i don't think we'll be able to help you this time but biblically the purpose of the tie was to help those people you got older woman in the church that their husband's been dead and gone a long time and the system of the government can't really take care of their needs so therefore they might have needs these older women and they get denied no help no help at all that's not biblical where do we get off doing that and i'm starting to get upset about that now where do we get to take the scripture and manipulate it for your own way you actually take it away and add it to the word and doing it your way That was not what Ty was about. All right, let's build. Let's build, Ms. Faka. All right, let's get another precept on this. Deuteronomy 14, 29. And the Levite, because again, he had no part nor any inheritance with thee.
And the stranger, remember the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates shall come and shall eat and be satisfied. Yes, dear folk, the folk that you consider heathens and this and that, they were being fed by the system that the Most High set up. And Elohim, thy Yah, may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest. Now listen, if you was obedient and you did what the Most High said do, you took care of the Levite, you took care of the fatherless, and you took care of the widow, then guess what? The Most High...
bless your land. He gave you even more increase on your land because you did exactly what he told you to do out of obedience. Anytime you obey Yah, he will bless you.
He will give you more, not for you to have so much for yourself, but for you to give out to people that are in need. That was the system of the Most High. Hallelujah. He's a righteous Yah.
All the tithes went to the priests, the Levites. fruit, vegetables, meat, and once again, where is the money at, pastor? Where is the money?
Where is the money at? I don't see it. I showed you, and we showed you where the money was actually put in place. But other than that, it was food.
Come on, stop it. We got to stop this stuff. Let's go to Nehemiah chapter 10, verse 36. Also the firstborn of our sons.
and of our cattle as it is written in the law and the first list of our herds and of our flocks to bring to the house of our Yah unto the priests that minister in the house of our Yah. There you see it again. Where does the tithe go to? Whose hands was it given to?
It was given to the Levites. That was their job. Hallelujah. Let's get another preset. Nehemiah chapter 10 verse 37 and that we should bring the first fruits of our dough and of our offerings that dough don't mean money somebody said I see I sell I see it I see money he said bring the first fruits of your dough no he ain't talking about that man and our harvest and the fruit of our manner of trees this is what it was a wine you and of oil unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our Yah, and the tithes of where?
Of our ground. Food is what? Me tithe is what?
Food from the ground, seed from the ground, vegetables, meat, all these different things, corn, wine, oil, unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of Artillus. That's Nehemiah testifying. Go ahead, Tahar. Real quick, I want to backtrack a little bit. What you were talking about, like, in the situation or the example with, like, somebody coming to a church, to the church, and them turning them away because they didn't tithe money or whatever.
There's a scripture, Deuteronomy 15, 7. through 11 and i'll read it real quick it says there's a poor man with you one of your brothers in any of your towns in your land, which Adonai your Yah has given you, you shall not harden your heart nor close your hand from your poor brother, but you shall freely open your hand to him and shall generously lend him sufficient for his need and whatever he lack. Beware that there is no base thought in your head saying the seventh year, the year of remission is near and your eye is hostile towards your poor brother and you give him nothing. Then he may cry to Adonai against you and it will be a sin to you. You shall generously give to him and your heart shall not be grieved.
give to him. Because for this thing, Adonai Yo-Yah will bless you and all your work and all your undertakings. For the poor will never cease to be in the land.
Therefore, I command you saying, you shall freely open your hand to your brother, to your needy and poor in your land. So that was a part of our culture. That was a part of it. That was a command. You know what I mean?
So that's way off, you know what I mean, in and of itself. And then I want to say this, I know you're going to keep, you're going to continue to bring it out. and um and line it up precept upon precept but i want to say this um when we when we're reading all of these different scriptures from all the ones you brought out in deuteronomy ones in nehemiah we know that you're going to malachi all of these different ones bro if you just read it literally it literally says meat in my storehouse or uh uh whatever the case you know i mean whatever the food is talking about at that time it literally says that you know i mean so you you You don't have to do anything, this or that, you know what I mean? And as you and I both know, or the whole Michigan football crowd on here knows that Deuteronomy 12, 32, it tells you not to add or diminish to the word, you know what I mean? So you can try to plug and play, nah, it don't work like that.
It's literal, you know what I mean? Awesome. Awesome, Taha. Awesome. Excuse me.
On what you said on Deuteronomy 15, when they said that you're supposed to lend to your brother, and after seven years, that whatever that brother owed you, he was supposed to be released. It was the year of the release, right? Year of Y'all's release.
So that means if the Mosai also said, because he know what he was doing, he know he was dealing with Negroes. So he said, listen, even if your brother borrowed something from you, the year, one year before the year of Y'all's release, you still supposed to give it to him without having in your mind. Man, this is about to be the year of the release next year.
So if I gave him $800, then next year, Eagle will have to pay me back. Because we're like one year away from that. He said, don't even think about that. The most I is so systematic. He knew how we think, how we act, how we move and everything.
You still supposed to give that brother. No matter if the year of the release was coming up in six months, you still was supposed to give that brother that money. And after that year of release, when it came up on you, you had to let him go free.
And the beautiful part about that is he tells you right in these same verses that he's going to bless you in your work for your undertaking. He's going to provide. That's right.
If our brother or sister pays us back or not, there's a blessing that comes with that. You know what I mean? That's right.
That's right. Good, good, good point. Good point. Good point. Hallelujah.
All right. The Levites took the tithes they got from the people and tied to Aaron's son, the high priest. Aaron's sons were the high priests. So you had the Levitical priesthood, you had the Levitical system, but also you had Aaron's actual bloodline.
They were the high priests. So therefore the Levites, they had to tie to the high priest to make sure the high priest was well taken care of. All right.
The high priest did the sacrifices and the burnt offerings. That was the role of Aaron's son. all right so you have the vitical uh priest here but aaron's sons his son his line was the high priest all right that handled these sacrifices and the burnt offerings now you had the other levites that were surrounded they guarded the temple they guarded the tabernacle uh during that time they cleaned up they cleaned in the tabernacle they made sure that the songs was being sung the musicians and all that yes all right so you had that but you had that Aaron's son, which one actually went into the holy place and actually did the offerings for the people.
Hallelujah. All right. And one more Nehemiah 10 and 38. And the priest, the son of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites take tithes and the Levites shall bring up to the tithe of the tithes, the tithes of the tithes, unto the house of our Yah, to the chambers and to the treasure house. This is biblical tithing, y'all. It's biblical tithing.
There's other stuff that we've been taught in Christianity. This is man's ways and formulas how to get. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Some of y'all, every pastor is not like this. So let me put a disclaimer out here. But a lot of them are.
A lot of them will see that they know the scripture as well as I'm able to look up these words in Hebrew and go through the stuff what it means. Don't you think? Some of them went to seminary school. Don't you think? They did.
But no, they understand this as a way to line their pockets. All right? The Levites. high priests, widows, strangers, fatherless.
These were the people that the tithe was supposed to be given to. All right. Hallelujah.
Now it's tithing shekels, gold or food. What a man robbed God. This is, this is just the main one right here. What a man robbed God.
You have robbed me. But you say, where have you robbed me? And tithes and nothing. Yeah, you robbing God.
Yes, you are. Anytime you ain't giving your tithes, you are robbed. When a man robbing, you robbing God.
You got your spiritual gun and your spiritual knife, and you robbing God. You robbing him because you ain't giving your money. That's the first I've been hearing since I was a child. What a man. And they beat the people on top of their head with this scripture.
All on top of their head. Make you feel bad. You're supposed to come to church to get delivered. You're supposed to come to church to feel good.
But when it comes to offer time, listen, ain't no hose bar here. You robbing, you paying your tithes? Hey, Pastor, I want to be able to talk to you. Let me check your tithe.
But matter of fact, bring me your tithe. Listen, there's one pastor here, and he will name anonymous, and one church that will name anonymous. When you join that church, you have to give him your W-2 forms. Your W-2.
They have to look at your W-They know how much money you making. And it will determine how much tithing that you need to be giving. Does it make sense?
This stuff is terrible, y'all. Bring you all the tithes to the storehouse. And my cousin brought out what storehouse was. Precinct brought out what storehouse was.
That there may be meat. Tithers brought that out. There be meat in my house. And prove me now herewith, said Elohim. of hosts I blow, if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing, that there not be room enough for you to receive.
Malachi 3, 8-10. Tithing is meat, herbs, vegetables. Y'all, it is food. Pastors that don't know, it's food, y'all.
So how did we really rob y'all? Malachi 1-12. But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of Elohim is polluted, and thereof even the meat is contemplable. My, my, my.
My, my, my. Precept. Maticai 113. The word don't lie. Ye also said, Behold, what a weariness is it, and ye have snuffed at it.
Said Elohim, so behold, and ye brought that which was torn and lame. and sick you brought a offering should i accept this of your hand said elohim now what's going on right here here's the problem as we see titan is food and the most side made sure that the time the people was to bring the tide to the levites again so that way everybody should eat and also the levites should be able to eat but our people got slick we got slick We didn't feel like doing it no more. And was giving torn and lame animals to Yah. He wanted the best of the flock. Our people was keeping the best of the flock and giving Yah garbage and capitalizing off the best that they kept.
The best meat was supposed to take care of the Levites and the needy people. This is how we robbed Yah. So this is what was happening. Instead of giving them the best of their fruits, They was giving one-legged animals and one-eyed animals and one animal had one leg shorter than the other and they was giving this to the Levites for the offering and y'all were looking like what what are you doing?
I thought we giving up giving us this mess. They got slick. They wasn't giving the good stuff to the Levites no more.
They was giving the stuff that was maimed one-eyed stuff that been torn up by animals and giving it and so the Mosai got upset. They was deceiving the Mosai. by keeping the goodly animals to themselves and giving the sickly man animals as offerings.
Ain't that something? Ain't that how our people are today? We the same way.
Then listen, when it's your time, your birthday, somebody take you out to a steakhouse and everything. But when it's your time, they take you to white castles. That's the mentality of our people.
The Mosai got upset about that. Look what he says in Malachi 1 to 14. But cursed be the deceiver which hath in his flock a male, and vowed and sacrificed unto the Lord a corrupt thing. For I am a great king, said Elohim. So behold, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.
Malachi, so Malachi 3 and 10 is talking about meat as tithe in his house so the Levites and the fatherless and the widows could eat. Look at Malachi 3 and 11. It's talking about rebuking the devourer as being the locusts and insects that tear your crops up and stop you from having a huge reaping season. No! What the most I did, because you want to give me main animals and short-legged animals, one got one leg, one ain't got no leg, and animals that was sick and stuff like to me. He said, guess what?
I'm going to curse you. That's where the curse is coming from. I'm going to curse your crop until you start giving me good stuff. You ain't going to have a time to give because I'm going to curse it because you're not being an obedience.
You're not taking care of my Levites. So why should I bless your crops for you to keep it for yourself? So you get.
live big and not bless my house. That's where that curse comes from. Not because you ain't giving tithes, you ain't giving your money, as the Christian church say. Since you ain't giving your money, you're going to be cursed as the curse. That's not what that meant.
When he said that, he was talking about the people that was not given in excellence, not given their crops and not given the things in excellence to Mosiah. So he said, I'm going to send a devourer to tear your crops up until you be obedient and do right. and bless my Levites the right way and give me your goodly things, your goodly things, your best crops, your best herbs to me. You know, so that was the understanding of that scripture. You see how they took this stuff out of context?
This is terrible, y'all. So, sowing a seed in the Bible means sowing the word, sowing the spirit. A lot of times you pastors say, you know, sow a seed, sow a seed of this amount, sow a seed of 250, and the harvest is going to reap.
this certain type of harvest for you and you're going to get a double fortune but if you understand biblically the seed was the word with with matthew was it matthew 20 or matthew 10 the parable of the seed is falling on good ground see falling on stony ground some seed thought on things that could be choked up he was talking about the word of yah but we have took these things and just just manipulated the word of yah and we're living in a time where folk gonna reap for this if i was gonna reap this, of you preaching and teaching these things to people, that's not correct, that's not right, there's got to be an answer for this, now understand this, there's a scripture, Tahan, if you could go to, and I'm almost done, I got like 10 more minutes, we're past our time, but there's a scripture in Hebrews chapter 7, but go to Hebrews chapter 10 first, Tahan, Hebrews chapter 10, Libby, I'll see your question, I'll see your hand up, we're gonna get to that. but go to hebrews chapter 10 uh verse 4 and verse 5 for me all right hebrews 10 you say yes all right here i am said verse 4 yeah start at verse 4 all right so for it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of of goats should take away sin. Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldst not, but a body hast thou prepared me.
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come, in the volume of the book, it is written of me, to do thy will, O Yah. So the tithing, again, had everything to do with the Levites.
And what? the sacrificial system so once christ came so we understand the scripture uh romans 10 or romans 10 to 4 christ is the end of the law for righteousness sake christ was the end of the law what are you talking about dear they're talking about the end of what the sacrificial system christ was the end of the sacrificial system because blood the blood of bullocks the blood of animals was not able you To do what? To take away our sin.
But it was just the understanding of what we did back then during the Old Testament. But after Christ came, then guess what? There was no need for the Levitical system because he was what? He was the high priest at that point. He was the priest.
So therefore, after he came and he died, guess what? The Levitical system went out of business, kind of went out of business. Because there was no need for the Levites at that point once Christ came.
And so if you understand, let's go to Hebrews chapter 7 real quick. Take me to Hebrews chapter 7. All right. Hebrews 7. One.
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High YAH, who met Abraham, returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed them. To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being by interpretation king of righteousness, and after that also king of Salem. which is king of peace, without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, were made like unto the son of Yah, abiding for priests continually.
Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who received the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes. of the people according to the law that is of their brethren uh though they came out of the loins of abraham but he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of abraham and blessed them that they that had the promises yes yes keep reading without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better and here men that die receive tithes but there he receives them of whom it is witnessed that he liveth And as I may say so, Levi also, who received with tithes, paid tithes in Abraham.
For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him. All right, verse 11, bring it out. If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for under it the people received the law, what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek and not be called after the order of Aaron? Right, so.
So we're saying if the Levitical order was perfect, if the Levite system was perfect, if the precept was perfect, and that we went through salvation or receiving from bulls and bullocks, there would be no reason for the Mashiach to come or for Christ to come. So therefore, that wasn't a perfect plan. It was a temporary plan.
All right. So this was talking about to the Levites because a lot of Levites after Christ came. They had a problem because their job wasn't no more into play.
So they had to let them know, let the Levites know, like, listen, your job was temporary. My man, you were temporary service. The Mashiach was the one that was able to actually do his blood, take away the sins of the people.
That's what he was saying to them. All right. So the question arises at this point now.
So if Christ was now the actual, a move from the Levitical system. as being the high priest to now Christ is the high priest, how was Christ able to take away the sins of the people if he was not a Levite? Uh-oh, Christ was from the tribe of Judah.
He was from the tribe of Judah. So how was he able to take away the sins of a people if he wasn't from the tribe of Levi? So read verse 12 for me. verse 12 says for the priesthood being changed all right so this is what christians use here to tell you that the law is no more applicable go ahead read there is made of necessity a change also of the law oh it's also so they said the priesthood being changed it's no longer under the levites it's been changed now you know i'm saying so therefore the law has changed so if the priesthood changed then the law is changing the more law keep reading we're gonna bring this out for he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe of which no man gave attendance at the altar all right so for the precept and change so yahushua hamashiach was a he's from the tribe of judah the levitical system was from the tribe of levi so for him to be able to walk into a high priest position in the order of machezidek To walk in the order of Mechezedek and to be a redeemer of sins, you had to be a Levite. So that word changed from the Greek.
So I wonder if they have a blue letter Bible, we could pull it up. That word, matter of fact, let me pull this up on the screen. Let me get the blue letter real quick and let me pull this up because I want y'all to see this. Can y'all see my screen? Yes.
Yes. All right. So the question arrives, if the Levites were in charge of taking the blood of the bullocks for the system of sins of the people, now that the Mashiach has come, Yahushua has come, therefore there's no need of the Levitical priesthood anymore because of the sacrifice of the Melchizedek, which is Yahushua, then what, you know, where are we at with this?
How could he do this if he was not a Levite? So let's see. For the priesthood being changed, there is a made of a necessity, necessity, a change also of the law.
That word change here, we're going to concentrate on this word change. That word change in the Greek is methathydini. So it does not mean change as we know it.
That word change in this particular verse is methathydini, which means. transpose. He transferred.
So the law was transferred, all right? All right, it was transferred. The precept being transferred, there is made a necessity, a transfer also of the law. So the law was not changed.
That's a mistranslation here. They put the word change here, and it's supposed to be transferred or transposed, all right? So therefore, the reason why Moshack was able to... be the priest because it was transferred over.
Anybody know anything about a keyboard or playing keys? There's a certain button that you can press on the keyboard where if you're playing the same chords, you can press the button called transpose and it will change the key. All right. You'll still be playing the same chords, but it will transfer from one key to another. Okay.
Still the same chords. Same thing. When Biden came in.
and took over for Trump, all right? Same president office, but the administration was transferred, okay? So instead of Trump's people being in, they transferred out, and Biden's people transferred in.
Still the same presidency, still the same thing going on, but it was just a transfer. So the Levitical system was transferred over to Mashiach, even though he was not a Levite. but it was transferred over to him.
That's why he was able to have the authority to actually be a role of the high priest. Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Messiah. Y'all see that?
Y'all understand that? Yes. Awesome. Yeah. Yes, sir.
Right. So that's what took place. That word is metha.
I don't know why this thing is acting up, but it's metha atlatini. Look it up. Look it up.
And then that word changed. It's a transfer that took place. The law is done away with.
No, it's not. The law has been changed. No. it's been transferred.
So as Yahushua, as the Levitical system was transferred over to Mashiach, and so has the law. The law has been transferred over as well.
