   STOP STEALING MONEY, PASTORS!! YOUR DAY OF JUDGEMENT IS COMING, AND COMING   
   QUICKLY;   
      
   2 Peter 2:3 - "And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make   
   merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their   
   damnation slumbereth not."   
      
   The book of Malachi, INCLUDING MALACHI 3:10, was written to, and was directly   
   addressing THE CORRUPT PRIESTS OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL (Nehemiah 10:37-39) who   
   were stealing, and failing to bring the TITHE OF THE TITHE to the Temple   
   Storehouse in Jerusalem.    
   It was NOT written to New Testament Christians, NOT written to New Testament   
   churches authorizing anyone, including pastors, to take ten percent of   
   anyone's income.   
      
   >> Read carefully and understand in PROPER CONTEXT;   
      
   Who was Malachi written to? Who were the commands of Malachi written to? Who's   
   sin is being addresses? Malachi tells us very clearly...   
      
   1. Malachi 1:1 - "The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi."    
   ...TO ISRAEL, NOT THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH.   
      
   2. Malachi 1:2 - "I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast   
   thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved   
   Jacob,"  ...TO JACOB / ISRAEL, NOT THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH.   
      
   3. Malachi 1:6 - "A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if   
   then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my   
   fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And   
   ye say, Wherein have we    
   despised thy name?"  ...TO ISRAEL, TO THE CORRUPT PRIESTS OF ISRAEL, NOT THE   
   NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH.   
      
   5. Malachi 2:1 - "And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you."  ...TO   
   ISRAEL, TO THE CORRUPT PRIESTS OF ISRAEL, NOT THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH.   
      
   6. Malachi 2:8 - "But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to   
   stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of   
   hosts."  ...TO ISRAEL UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES, NOT THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH.   
      
   7. Malachi 2:9 - "Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before   
   all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial   
   in the law."  ...TO ISRAEL, TO THE CORRUPT PRIESTS OF ISRAEL, NOT THE NEW   
   TESTAMENT CHURCH.   
      
   8. Malachi 2:11 - "Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is   
   committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of   
   the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god."    
   ...TO JUDAH OF ISRAEL, NOT    
   THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH.   
      
   9. Malachi 2:16 - "For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth   
   putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of   
   hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously."    
   ...TO ISRAEL, NOT THE NEW    
   TESTAMENT CHURCH.   
      
   10. Malachi 3:1 - "Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the   
   way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple,   
   even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come,   
   saith the LORD of    
   hosts."  ...TO ISRAEL, THE FUTURE TEMPLE IN ISRAEL, NOT THE NEW TESTAMENT   
   CHURCH.   
      
   11. Malachi 3:7 - "Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from   
   mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return   
   unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?"   
   ...TO ISRAEL UNDER THE LAW ("   
   MINE ORDINANCES") OF MOSES, NOT THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH. THE NEW TESTAMENT   
   CHUCH IS NOT UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES.   
      
   12. Malachi 3:8-9 - "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say,   
   Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a   
   curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation." ...TO THE NATION OF   
   ISRAEL, TO THE CORRUPT    
   PRIESTS OF ISRAEL, NOT THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH.   
      
   13. Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may   
   be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if   
   I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that   
   there shall not be    
   room enough to receive it."  ...THE TITHE OF THE TITHE BROUGHT TO THE TEMPLE   
   IN JERUSALEM IN ISRAEL BY LEVITES, NOT TO A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH;   
      
   Nehemiah 10:37-39 - "And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough,   
   and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil,   
   unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of   
   our ground unto the    
   Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our   
   tillage. And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the   
   Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes   
   unto the house of our    
   God, to the chambers, into the treasure house. For the children of Israel and   
   the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine,   
   and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and   
   the priests that    
   minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house   
   of our God."   
      
   14. Malachi 3:12 - "And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a   
   delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts."  ...WHO WILL CALL WHO BLESSED?   
   OTHER NATIONS WILL CALL ISRAEL BLESSED, NOT THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH WHO ARE   
   BLESSED THOUGH GRACE AND    
   JESUS CHRIST.   
      
   WHY WILL ISRAEL IN THAT TIME BE CALLED "BLESSED?" BECAUSE IF THEY WOULD HAVE   
   OBEYED THE LAW OF MOSES THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN BLESSED; THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH   
   IS NOT UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES AND CANNOT BE BLESSED BY KEEPING IT;   
      
   "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but   
   under grace." - Romans 6:14   
      
   15. Malachi 3:14 - "Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is   
   it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before   
   the LORD of hosts?"  ...WHO WAS CALLED TO KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES? THE NATION OF   
   ISRAEL, NOT THE NEW    
   TESTAMENT CHURCH;   
      
   "He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel."   
   Psalm 147:20 - "He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his   
   judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord." - Psalm 147:19-20   
      
   16. Malachi 4:4 - "Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded   
   unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments."  ...TO   
   ISRAEL UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES, NOT THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH.
