While WLC continues to uphold the observance of the Seventh-Day Sabbath, which is at the heart of Yahuwah's moral law, the 10 Commandments, we no longer believe that the annual feast days are binding upon believers today. Still, though, we humbly encourage all to set time aside to commemorate the yearly feasts with solemnity and joy, and to learn from Yahuwah’s instructions concerning their observance under the Old Covenant. Doing so will surely be a blessing to you and your home, as you study the wonderful types and shadows that point to the exaltation of Messiah Yahushua as the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the conquering lion of the tribe of Judah, and the Lamb of Yahuwah that takes away the sins of the world.

The Reward for Almsgiving

The King James Version (KJV) is mostly used in these lessons. Click here to access the KJV online.

Clearly, the Israelites had a view of giving that has been lost to today’s Christians. This attitude is most clearly explained in Christ’s words in the sermon on the mount: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 7:19-21, NIV) The reward for giving to the poor, according to Scripture, is very real: you lay up treasure in Heaven where the record of your actions is preserved until the day Yahushua returns and rewards the faithful.

This was not a new concept. Clear back during the Wilderness Wandering, Yahuwah commanded:

At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that Yahuwah your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. (Deuteronomy 14:28 & 29, NIV)

This is why Scripture says to give: so Yahuwah may bless you in everything you do.
