To read the Bible in a year, read Second Chronicles 10–12 on June 3, In the year of our Lord 2014
By Don Ruhl
When the Kingdom of Israel divided, and ten tribes followed Jeroboam as their king and they followed his idolatry, the Levites did not do so, even if they lived in the North,
And from all their territories the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel took their stand with him. For the Levites left their common-lands and their possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests to the Lord. Then he appointed for himself priests for the high places, for the demons, and the calf idols which he had made. And after the Levites left, those from all the tribes of Israel, such as set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers. So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years (2 Chronicles 11.13–17).
Are you a Christian? If so, you are a priest to the King from the tribe of Judah, Jesus of Nazareth. Are you ready to remain loyal to Him, regardless of what happens around you?
Good stuff right there.

Do we the people follow the example: Paying or Tithing and offering to support the Levites in Judah? I have no intentions of robing God. But I seek to follow Jesus Christ.

Deloris,
When Jesus died on the cross, there was no longer a need for the levitical priesthood. Therefore, it has been disbanded, and now we are to support the church that Jesus purchased with His blood, because He is now our High Priest.
