"They shall not labour in vain; nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of 
THE LORD and their offering with them.And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while
they are yet speaking, I will hear." Isaiah 65:23-24

"Understand ye brutish people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise? HE that planteth the ear, 
shall HE not hear? HE that formed the eye, shall HE not see? HE that chastiseth the heathen,
shall HE not correct? HE that teacheth man knowledge shall HE not know? THE LORD knoweth
the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. Blessed is the man whom THOU chasteneth 
O LORD [GOD] and teachest him out of Thy law." Psalms 94: 8-12

"Say among the heathen that THE LORD reigneth." Psalms 96: 10a

GOD said,"for I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful and multiply you, 
and establish MY Covenant with you." Leviticus 26:9

"All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the
first-fruits of them which they shall offer, unto THE LORD, them have I given unto
thee." said GOD to the tribe of Levi that was the tribe appointed by GOD to do the
service of the Temple and did not have other sources of food or income than from the
tithes of the people to GOD that then GOD said HE gave to the Priests whom HE had called.
