Tithing and Islam
The Christian practice of tithing is the catalyst for the birth of Islam. Both the tithing practice and the religion of Islam are a fulfillment of Bible prophecy. They are paired together in seven verses of the Bible and in the Passion of Christ.
Betrayed (monetary tithing) to be crucified (Sharia law under Islam)
Despise the gain of oppressions and the hearing of blood
Praise the Lord, I am rich—Feed the flock of the slaughter
After three years bring forth tithes
Bring forth... Isa 66
The bringing forth after three years points to a birth three years after the sin in Bethel (house of God). In the year 567 AD, the Church voted itself a pay increase by making tithing a law of the Church. Three years later (570 AD), Mohammed was born.
The multiplied sin that occurs after the sin in Bethel happens in Gilgal, where is a history of blood letting. They circumcised in Gilgal. Samuel cut Agag to pieces in Gilgal. As Joshua is to Jesus, Hebrew to Greek, Gilgal is the Hebrew to the Greek Golgotha. This is where Jesus was crucified. It is the place of the skull.
The skull is an appropriate symbol for Islam, for it is responsible for the killing of many Christians for their faith.
I'll give three reasons for money in the storehouse being 30 pieces of silver (the price of Christ's betrayal). Judas sought to return his betrayal money to the treasury (storehouse) in the house of the Lord (Bethel). Manna in the pot is spiritually equal to its replacement (corn, oil, wine) in the storehouse. It is manna (bread of heaven, Jesus) not money!
Abraham says I will not take. God says, I am reward. The Church said in 567 AD, We will take. God takes it as a reflection of Himself. Three years later, we get Islam.
Betrayed to be crucified — Future
NOTES: In my research of the notion that the money of Christian tithing was in the mind of God, 30 pieces of silver, I had three primary Old Testament areas to study.
First: Deut 14, The exchange of tithe for money (silver)
Second: Deut 14, Despise gain; bread and water are free.
Third: Zach 11, Praise the Lord, I am rich.
After looking at the pattern of violence of the second and third: Hearing of blood and feed the flock of slaughter, the question arose, where is the violence in Deut 14? The answer came after going to Amos 4:4 to read the "after three years prophecy" that followed the after three years law in Deut 14. The money is in Deut 14:25 and the violence is in Gilgal. If indeed Gilgal was another version of Golgotha as some writers have suggested, we had the betrayed to be crucified of the Gospels. The sin in Bethel was the money; the sin in Gilgal was the shedding of blood. It seemed that these sins were looking beyond Jesus. Knowing that the taking of money from Christians in the form of so-called tithes had a long modern history.
I then started looking for periods of violence against Christians. The first thing that came to mind was Islam and Mohammed. What was their timeline and how did it compare to the timeline of tithing?
It did not take long to discover the closeness of church history with that of Islam. In 567 AD the Church had a council in Tours, France making tithing the law of the Church. In 570 AD, Mohammed was born. Three years apart. It is with a magnifying glass that I then looked at the wording of the after three year tithe. The phrase Bring forth is used. This phrase is also used in reference to the giving birth to a child in Isa 66.
There is a law aspect to both dates: A law made by church leaders in 567 AD to take tithes and a law giver (Sharia given by Mohammed) in 570 AD.
I am going to stick my neck out and say that both tithing and Sharia have been nullified by Jesus who was betrayed (monetary tithing) to be crucified (Sharia law). The prophet Amos amplifies the point by saying that it is a sin in Bethel (house of God, Judas) and multiplied transgression (Golgotha, Mohammed). Judas and monetary tithing. Mohammed and killing of Christians. Both are defined and nullified by Jesus and the prophets of the Old Testament.
Deut 14:28 At the end of three years, thou salt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year and shall lay it up within they gates.
Amos 4 Come to Bethel and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years.
Isaiah 66:9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord; shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb?
