"Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering: of every man that
gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My Offering." Exodus 25:2
Giving for the building of the sanctuary was entirely by choice, since YHVH owns all the gold and silver
in the world and He can construct anything He wants. In fact, the Third Temple will come down from Heaven already built.
The reason YHVH asked Israel to build a Sactuary for Him was that He wanted their hearts. YHVH desires
to see if we will carry out His Will, and the attitude in our giving makes the gift last forever. Moses and
Israel were able to give with all their hearts, and their giving lasted forever.
Let us give to the building of YHVH's Kingdom in a way which will make our giving last forever!
