WILL A MAN ROB GOD?
"Will a man rob God?"
The question posed in Malachi 3:8 requires circumspection, reflection.
One may say "Yes!" too quickly.
"Yet you have robbed me."
Snap! Direct hit. Speaker's getting personal with it now. Not talking about any man. Talking about me!
Reflexively I defend myself from slander. "Wherein have we robbed thee?" I reply, hurting like a Peter .
"In tithes and offerings!" Concludes the verse in Malachi 3:8.
Now tithes are first fruits. The best! Ten percent of our first fruits are supposed to be set apart to God.
Alas. "God."
Is the Pope God? Is the President? Is mommy or daddy or the grands?
What about the white people, the police, the judge, maybe bishops!
Who is "God." What is "God." Where is "God?" Tough questions! Each one and every one. "God" knows who, what, where, "God" is, as surely as you know who, what, where you now are. "God" is with you. "God" is in you, all around you.
"Ye are gods!" Affirms Psalm 82:6.
Will a man rob himself, then? Too abstract . Have I ever, or, do I now rob myself? Oh my! very poignant question! "Rob" then is self-steal!
Do I now or have I ever knowingly stole, held myself back from God's grace? divine munificence of God?
The first question inverted, turned inside out, upside down is just that.
How might I do or have done that? By disobedience to the God-voice that speaks to me, us continuously.
For surely the greater blesses the lesser with life, health, prosperity! Not the lesser the greater as now!
Hebrews 7:7.
"Life, health, prosperity" was the epigraph inscribed on the stelae of ancient Pharaohs who were viewed as gods on earth, representatively.
And the Pharaoh set aside lands, incomes, for priests, for temples and servants, to enable them to teach the children and the people, in learned subjects, morals, arts, crafts, astronomy, maths, sacred rituals, sciences, writing, that the blessed Two-Lands of ancient Kemet, known as "Egypt" might be blessed forever, as it is in history.
The Bible was written in Egypt by Jewish scholars, presumably to have access to ancient Egyptian papyri that were then lodged in the Great Library of Alexandria, the truth storehouse of the ancient world, which mysteriously was set on fire by some people who were all sinister, evil, depraved, envious.
Thus upside down, rather than right side up, this ancient wisdom has come down to us from Europe.
Curiously ancient Egypt is the most frequently mentioned nation in the Bible, even more so than Israel, its scion. Yet Mizraim is described as wicked in the Bible. History refutes this account of an evil Egypt. Every major power Russians, Americans, British, French, Germany, Italy are chock-full of its artifacts, obelisks and sacred icons. Each year the soil of Egypt and Nubia yield more!
Will a man rob God ? Some men robbed Egypt and Nubia and are still robbing them today !
