“A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.” Proverbs 13:22
There are 3 great transfers of wealth in history.
1. When Israel came out of Egypt.
2. When Israel came out of Babylon.
3. When The People of God come out of Mystery Babylon & defeat it.
The Transfer of Wealth when Israel came out of Egypt
“And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be, when you go, that you shall not go empty-handed. But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, namely, of her who dwells near her house, articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.” Exodus 3:21-22
- The LORD told Israel how to plunder the Egyptians.
- It involved The LORD giving the women of Israel favor with the women of Egypt.
- My sense is that this is part of The Pillar of Favor in The Age of Zion.
Plundering the Egyptians involved 3 things:
1. Articles of Silver
2. Articles of Gold
3. Clothing
The women of Israel were to ask the women of Egypt for these 3 things.
- The women of Israel were to put them on their sons & daughters.
- The sons & daughters wore them as they left Egypt.
“Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked from the Egyptians articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing. And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.” Exodus 12:35-36
- The women of Israel did according to the word of Moses.
- The LORD gave them favor as he said that he would do.
- The women of Egypt gave what was requested of them.
- Thus Israel plundered Egypt.
The Transfer of Wealth when Israel came out of Babylon
- King Cyrus let Israel return.
- He also commanded how they wre to be provided for as they left.
“Thus says Cyrus king of Persia:
All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel (He is God), which is in Jerusalem. And whoever is left in any place where he dwells, let the men of his place help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, besides the freewill offerings for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.” Ezra 1:2-4
- Israel that didn’t leave Babylon was commanded to give to Israel that did leave.
- This is the non-overcomers providing for the overcomers.
We see the above 2 Patterns for the Transfer of Wealth.
- The 1st Transfer of Wealth occurred at The LORD’s instruction.
- The LORD gave this instruction as a word to the people through Moses.
- The 2nd Transfer of Wealth occurred at a King of king’s instruction.
Do not assume that the next Transfer of Wealth will be the same way.
- We are to believe that God will give us instruction on how it is to occur.
These instructions may be confirmed by Patterns found in scripture.
- But they will not be given through Patterns.
They will be given as a word to someone.
- Someone will be stirred by this article to give this word.
“Then the heads of the fathers’ houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and the Levites, with all whose spirits God had moved, arose to go up and build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. And all those who were around them encouraged them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered.” Ezra 1:5-6
- God moved the spirits of some to leave Babylon.
- They returned to & return to Jerusalem to build the House of the LORD.
- Those who stayed behind gave to those who were leaving.
Here is what they gave:
1. Articles of Silver
2. Articles of Gold
3. Goods
4. Livestock
5. Precious things
This is in addition to what was offered for the building of The Temple.
