A New Financial Option for the World?

Some politicians claim the U.S. economy is rising from the ashes even while Europe’s financial situation melts down. However, numerous analysts believe more turmoil remains for the United States. In Europe, Britain gives wise financial advice, but continues to “borrow” endlessly without fixing its own financial problems. According to one financial analyst, “The entire [British] tax system needs to be replaced with something coherent.” In fact, he notes that “…the optimal size of government is closer to a third” (The Telegraph, May 17, 2012). Some cry for smaller government and others cry for lower taxes. Many voices suggest that “federalizing” Europe will cure its financial woes.

God long ago laid out a plan for the financial success of nations, based on a clear set of laws. God’s financial system (known as tithing) calls for giving 10% of one’s increase to support His form of government. This system includes clear accountability and teaches character and fiscal responsibility. While the details of the tithing system appear after the giving of the Law at Sinai (see Leviticus 27:30-32; Numbers 18:26; Deuteronomy 12, 14), tithing was first recorded about 500 years earlier, in the days of Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 14:18-20; 28:22). Jesus indicated that this system was still in effect during His ministry (Matthew 23:23). When Jesus Christ, who “is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), returns to this earth, He will reinstitute the biblical tithing system on a global scale! Finally, there will be a fair and functional financial system for all mankind!

The Bible is clear that the world’s financial system will ultimately collapse (Revelation 18), Jesus will takeover (Revelation 19), and a millennial age will begin (Revelation 20).

Those who try to “live by every word of God” normally tithe now and are not waiting until the Kingdom of God comes to the earth to do so.
