The Importance of Passing Over the River Jordan

NO tithing was permitted until...

1. They passed over the River Jordan.

2. They (descendants of Abraham and Sarah, Issac, Jacob/Israel...the nation of Israel) live there, NOT crossing back and forth, but LIVING permanently on the Promise Land, the land they inherited...NOT Japan, Brazil, Canada, Greenland, Russia, United States, France, England, Egypt, the Wilderness, etc...THE PROMISE LAND.

3. Are not battling their enemies.

4. Are resting from ALL their enemies around them.

5. Dwelling safely in THE LAND...The Promise Land.

6. After God has chosen a place to put His name.

7. And ONLY after 1 through 6, they had to bring...

  A. burnt offerings,
  B. sacrifices,
  C. tithes,
  D. heave offering of their hand,
  E. and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD.

ALSO; they, the tither, anyone God instructed to tithe, HAD TO BE AN INHERITOR OF THE PROMISE LAND - "...dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to INHERIT..." - Deuteronomy 12 verse 10.

>> It's very interesting that tithing teachers love number "C," but never tell anyone about A, B, D or E...JUST "C." "C" as in "CASH," as far as they are concerned, even though God's tithes were ALWAYS fruits, vegetables and clean livestock from the Promise Land, never money.

In fact, I have NEVER heard a single tithing teacher refer to Deuteronomy 12:10-11; and why would they?...too much reading of God's word, the ONLY word that counts concerning tithing, and C for CASH COW would be in jeopardy; and we couldn't have that, now could we?!

WHO CROSSED?

Of course one might comment that the Children of Israel hundreds of years after their forefathers crossed the River Jordan were still paying tithes yet did not themselves cross the River Jordan. That statement is obviously correct, but must be viewed in the light of a Biblical principle; 

1. As with the sons of Levi paying tithes to Melchizedek while being in the loins of Abram (Hebrews 7:9-10 "And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him."), in the same manner the later generations of the sons of Israel crossed the River Jordan being in the loins of their forefathers at their forefathers crossing.

2. The Children, the Nation, of Israel, crossed the River Jordan as a NATION; that nation was the same nation generations later that had crossed the River Jordan and were still required to pay tithes under the same conditions noted above; as inheritors of the Promise Land on which they dwell. The paying of tithes was a national requirement, not an individual requirement.

The NATION (Malachi 3:9 "Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole NATION.") was to surrender tithes to the tribe of Levi who owned the tithes by inheritance, not necessarily any individual.

Numbers 18:20-21

"And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel. And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation."

>> IF YOU DON'T LIVE ON THE PROMISE LAND, AND ARE NOT UNDER THE OLD TESTAMENT LAW, AND NOT SURRENDERING TITHES TO THE TRIBE OF LEVI, YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY OR INSTRUCTIONS TO SURRENDER TITHES TO ANYONE ANYWHERE.

Deuteronomy 12:10-11

"But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety; Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:"
