Hebrews 7:1-10 tells of Jesus, the high priest, after the order of Melchizedek. It presents the case for tithing, paying one tenth of the income to be used and distributed by the church.
Ezekiel 33. The prophet took the role of the watchman and gave a message about God’s Judgment and it’s fairness, he foretold of the fall of Jerusalem and the cause of Judah’s ruin, claiming they were hearing but not doing and that they were still continuing their sinful acts.
Ezekiel 34. The shepherds of Israel are not true shepherds. God is the true shepherd. “And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it. And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.“
