not taking anything from you, getting something to you
There is a correlation between the woman with the alabaster box and what is known as one of the main tithe references. Malachi 3:10-12 is representative of what takes places when you bring your tithes and offerings into the storehouse. “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 the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.” The woman with the alabaster box brought her gift to Jesus which is always considered the heavenly storehouse, where you lay up treasure so thieves can’t steal and moths cannot destroy. Her seed-gift was safe therefore the return on her investment was also safe because it was backed by the heavenly Father’s Depositary Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Lord of hosts is equivalent to the Lord of Sabaoth meaning God will put on his armor and go to war on those who withhold treasure from his purpose, in this text, the woman with the alabaster box. Hosts illustrates angels on assignment to deliver messages, to defend heavenly assets, and to divest all kingdom of God investments under the influence of the kingdom of this world. At the time the woman deposited her seed, Jesus silenced the attempted seed-eaters. His blessing on her proved he was not trying to take anything from her but trying to get something to her. This repositioned her so that everywhere his story is told, so is hers. Jesus re-zoned her land as valuable, acceptable and desirable and with purpose when he said her seed was “a beautiful thing,” therefore she had no crop failure, no crop miscarriage, nor crop abortion. He made her future so great because she was forgiven, that she could do away with her past because it was forgotten.
