"Continued from Amos 4:4, bring your tithes after three years"


 
Hi John and Doves,


Amos 4:4 bring your sacrifice every morning, and your tithes after three years.

Why does God say "bring your tithes after three years"? Why not bring your tithes after one year, or after two years, why does it have to be three years?

The reason is simple. It is because it will take the Jews three years to complete the construction of the third temple from the first day they reinstitute the daily sacrifice.  After the third temple is finished, tithing is officiated by the Jews. For those Jews who visit the third temple,   they can start giving tithes to God inside the temple.

Take my timeline for example. 2300 days begins on Hanukkah Dec 18 2022.  Reinstitution and restoration of daily sacrifice begins on Hanukkah 2022. 

"bring your sacrifice every morning"

The Jews begin to bring the  sacrifice every morning beginning from Hanukkah 2022. They also begin to build their third temple from this day onward.


"bring your tithes after three years"

By Rosh Hashana 2025, the third temple is complete. Dedication of third temple takes place on this day. The Jews also officiate tithing on this day. On Rosh Hashana 2025, for those who visit the temple,  they can proceed to give tithes to God.

Between Hanukkah 2022 and Rosh Hashana 2025, there are three years.

"bring your tithed after three years" is finally fulfilled on Rosh Hashana 2025, when the third temple is ready.

A note here. Some Christians think it only takes one or two years for the Jews  to construct the third temple. But according to Amos 4:4, it shall take the Jews three years to finish the construction of third temple. It is because without the third temple, tithing cannot be established. Take our church for example. We go to church on Sunday. During the service, we give tithes to our church. Without the church and the building, tithing is impossible. Same logic applies to third temple. Without the third temple, the Jews cannot give tithes. Amos 4:4 gives us the years needed to build the third temple, that is, three years.
