Luke 18:8 “… Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?” (KJV) Upon reading this verse, where it says “… when the Son of man cometh …”, you probably thought of the Lord’s second coming at the end of the world.

All creation was designed to worship man, however, the man was to take this worship and…

Malachi 3:10-12 KJV “[10] Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, and prove Me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. [11] And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits…
