Malachi 3:5-18 "And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. 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? 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. 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. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? 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? And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not."
Who must return first? Did the Father of the Prodigal Son (Israel, the divorced whore northern kingdom: the ten tribes, the lost sheep, aka Ephraim, the House of Joseph) leave his estate and go out searching for the prodigal? Or did the prodigal have to wake up to his own sins (violations of his father's instructions/laws), his own bad choices, and choose to repent by leaving the "pig farmer's estate" (civil law system of human governments) to "seek the kingdom and His righteousness"? Notice that the people in their ignorance, vanity, arrogance, sloth, etc. truly believed that their "religious liturgy" (going to church, giving offerings, volunteering to help out once in a while, having bake sales, etc.) was truly RIGHTEOUS and Biblical, but clearly what they were doing, while having the appearance of righteousness was not at all righteous in the eyes of the Creator. Then the Creator focuses on ONE issue of them ROBBING HIM by NOT TITHING. What? These religous "church goers", so-called Christians and Jews give every Sabbath or Sunday by putting offerings in the collection plates so why are they being accused of "robbing the Creator"? Could it be that their so-called "churches" and "synogogues" are NOT HIS "church", they are not representative of "HIS Storehouse"? Bingo.
How can a civil government incorporated legal fiction, calling itself a "church", etc., whose "minister" is LICENSED by the same civil government sovereign power (a "god": EL, Theos: mighty authority, sovereign power, law maker, ruling judge) whose corporate membership are all subject citizens of the same "god" who've pledged allegiance (faith, fidelity) to that "god" and who worship (pay homage by obeying the civil laws of that civil "god" and pay their TITHES to (burnt sacrifices: excise taxes: sales, income, property, etc.) and then give free will offerings to a legal fiction, a State incorporated, 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt entity operating in the civil government's stream of commerce under civil commercial law ACTUALLY be "bringing the tithes into the Creator's storehouse"? It cannot and it isn't, but many people today, and back then, when REBUKED, cannot see The Truth, because they do not want to see The Truth, but choose to live their convenient lies. In other words, the Prodigal, the divorced Whore, has still not awakened to SEE his SINS (violations of the Creator's laws) preferring to cover up his crimes against his Creator by repeating some vain "magic" words.
This is why it's ONLY ever a REMNANT of so-called BELIEVERS, that actually DO the WILL (keep the laws of the Creator, "Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them..." who are counted as "wise virgins" and "righteous", while the vast majority of so-called believers end up, if they are lucky, as mere "wedding guests", but even many of them are rebuked, moved to seats at the back, show up not dressed appropriately and asked to leave, and even so reject the invite believing they've already been "saved" and are already "married" (but which "god" actually "saved" and "married" them? Could it be....Satan [the adversary, the anti-messiah)]? Are these so-called believers really the "tares" (fake, look alike, wheat that don't bear good fruit, but act like and look like wheat) that get plucked up FIRST (false rapture BS) and tossed on the "fire" or are the "foolish virgins" that when they knock at the door are not let in?
"Wherein shall we return?" That's the question any so-called "believer" really needs to reflect upon daily. Are you a "tare" a "foolish virgin", or are you "wheat", a "wise virgin"? Are you ignoring His Laws: commandments, statutes, ordinances, judgments but keeping the civil laws of your "gods many" (civil governments city, county, state and federal)?
The Merr, Roo2U & Yasha too
