ANOTHER SCRIPTURAL TYPE Hebrews 7: 1 - 10 Melchizedek 11/15/2018

HOLY SPIRIT DESCRIBES CHRIST IN VARIOUS WAYS TO COMMUNICATE TRUTH USES OLD TESTAMENT PICTURES LAMB OF GOD SERPANT ON POLE JOSEPH JONAH DAVID ET AL 11/15/2018

IS SCRIPTURE INSPIRED? CONSIDER THIS: GENESIS 14…. MOSES WROTE THREE VERSES ABOUT ABRAHAM THAT MENTION MELCHIZEDEK… 1000 YEARS LATER, KING DAVID MENTIONS THE MESSIAH WILL BE LIKE “MELCHIZEDEK” IN ONE VERSE (PSALMS 110) THEN, 1000 YEARS LATER THE WRITER OF THE HEBREWS PICKS UP THESE FOURS VERSES… AND WRITES THREE CHAPTERS ON HOW JESUS CHRIST IS LIKE MELCHIZEDEK…. WOW 11/15/2018

TIMELY (GENESIS 14) SETTING: ABRAHAM AND HIS 318 TRAINED SERVANTS AND “MAMRE THE AMORITE, BROTHER OF ESHEOL AND BROTHER OF ANER” WENT OUT TO RESCUE HIS NEPHEW LOT. THEY DEFEATED KING CHEDORLAOMER AND THE KINGS THAT WERE WITH HIM. AND BROUGHT BACK “ALL THE GOODS (CAPTURED BY THE KINGS), LOT, AND THE WOMEN AND THE PEOPLE.” VERSE 16 11/15/2018

NOTICE VERSES 17 - 20 “THEN THE KING OF SODOM WENT OUT TO MEET HIM (ABRAHAM) AT THE VALLEY OF SHAVEH, THAT IS, THE KINGS VALLEY, AFTER HIS RETURN FROM THE DEFEAT OF CH….., THEN MELCHEZIDEK KING OF SALEM BROUGHT OUT BREAD AND WINE*, HE WAS THE PRIEST OF GOD MOST HIGH. AND HE BLESSED HIM AND SAID: BLESSED BE ABRAHAM OF GOD MOST HIGH, POSSESSOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, AND BLESSED BE GOD MOST HIGH, WHO HAS DELIVERED YOUR ENEMIES INTO YOUR HAND.” AND HE (ABRAHAM) GAVE m… A TITHE OF ALL. NOW THE KING OF SODOM SAID TO ABRAM, GIVE ME THE PERSONS, AND TAKE THE GOODS FOR YOURSELF….. 11/15/2018

MELCHIZEDEK INTERVENED WHEN ABRAHAM DID NOT EVEN REALIZE THE SUBTILE TEMPTATION NOTICE THE TIMING OF MELCHIZEDEK’S INTERVENTION…. M.. REMINDED ABRAHAM OF THE ORAL PROMISES OF GOD TO GREATLY BLESS HIM…. THEN THE KING OF SODOM OFFERED ABRAHAM GREAT RICHES…. HE TURNED THEM DOWN… 11/15/2018

LESSON FOR US WE HAVE THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD WHAT CAN THE TIMING SUGGEST TO US? HIS TIMING/AVAILABILITY IS PERFECT, i.e. instantly available HE IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE 24/7/12/LIFETIME Not like the Aaronic priesthood… daytime only, they would die, …. He strengthens us, by HIS life… Mel offered Abraham bread and wine… symbol of Messiah’s LIFE (Communion) 11/15/2018

ANOTHER LIKENESS Notice verse 3: “…. Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually” The reference is to the three verses in Genesis.. Which is a book of “genealogies” Everyone in Genesis has a genealogy… except Melchezidek… amazing …the Holy Spirit omitted… because He was going to have the writer 2000 years later show that Mel was like Christ. 11/15/2018

MELCHEZIDEK WAS A MAN He had a mother and father…. But the Holy Spirit caused Moses to omit this data in Genesis. The scripture says “he was made LIKE the Son of God” … he was not a “theophany” … the Son of God appearing in human likeness in the Old Testament… like in Judges: Gideon, Samson; Abraham, Daniel, et al I am not like Warren Currie, I am Warren Currie So Mel was NOT a theophany… he was a man, and a Gentile … 11/15/2018

CONSIDER ACCORDING TO GENESIS: “HE IS WITHOUT FATHER, WITHOUT MOTHER…. HAVING NEITHER BEGINNING OF DAYS NOW END OF LIFE…. BUT MADE LIKE UNTO THE SON OF GOD.” WE HAVE NO INDICATION OF HIS BIRTH, NO INDICATION OF HIS DEATH … MEL IS STILL LIVING, IN TYPE, AS A TYPE… OF THE SON OF GOD… WHO HAS LIVED FOREVER PAST, AND WILL LIVE FOREVER FUTURE. 11/15/2018

NOTICE THE SEQUENCE “KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, KING OF PEACE.” NO ONE CAN HAVE REAL PEACE…. UNTIL HE/SHE HAS OBTAINED HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.. THE DAY WE TRUST JESUS CHRIST AS HAVING PAID OUR PENALTY FOR OUR SINS… HE GIVES US HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THEN HE GIVES US HIS PEACE…. SEQUENCE PERFECT. 11/15/2018

PRIESTHOOD’S COMPARED AARON MELCHIZEDEK HEREDITARY EVERLASTING 11/15/2018

PRIESTHOOD’S COMPARED AARONIC MELCHIZEDEK HEREDITARY A TIMED PRIESTHOOD 25-50 EVERLASTING FOREVER HIGH PRIEST 11/15/2018

PRIESTHOOD’S COMPARED AARONIC MELCHIZEDEK HEREDITARY A TIMED PRIESTHOOD 25-50 OFFERED NOT PERMANENT RIGHTEOUS EVERLASTING FOREVER HIGH PRIEST OFFERS PERMANENT RIGHTEOUSNESS/PEACE 11/15/2018

PRIESTHOOD’S COMPARED AARON MELCHIZEDEK HEREDITARY A TIMED PRIESTHOOD OFFERED NOT PERMANENT RIGHTEOUSNESS SUBJECT TO KING EVERLASTING FOREVER HIGH PRIEST OFFERS PERMANENT RIGHTEOUSNESS & PEACE HE WAS/IS KING 11/15/2018

PRIESTHOOD’S COMPARED AARONIC MELCHIZEDEK HEREDITARY A TIMED HIGH PRIEST OFFERED NOT PERMANENT RIGHTEOUSNESS SUBJECT TO KING NATIONAL -JUDIASTIC/ISRAEL EVERLASTING FOREVER HIGH PRIEST OFFERED PERMANENT RIGHTEOUSNESS & PEACE HE WAS/IS KING UNIVERSAL 11/15/2018

NAMES OF GOD GEN 1:1 “IN THE BEGINNING GOD (ELOHIM)” EXOD 6:3 “I AM THE LORD (IN HEBREW YHWH), I APPEARED TO ABRAHAM, TO ISSAC, TO JACOB, BUT BY MY NAME (YHWH), I WAS NOT KNOWN TO THEM.” VS 8: “I WILL GIVE YOU THE LAND, I AM THE LORD (YHWH) 11/15/2018

CONSIDER YHWH TRUE PRONOUNCATION HAS BEEN LOST THE JEWS PRONOUNCED IT AS “YAHWEH” GOD IS ALSO IDENTIFIED AS “GOD IS LORD (ADONAI)” JEWS DID NOT WANT TO SAY THE NAME THE NAME AS “YHWH” .. TOO SACRED SO THEY INVENTED ANOTHER WORD COMBINING: YHWH …THE CONSONANT’S WITH ADONAI VOWELS 11/15/2018

RESULT THEY (THE JEWS) GOT A HYBRID NAME FOR GOD YEHOWAH… OR IN ENGLISH JEHOVAH (I KNOW ALL OF YOU WANTED TO KNOW THIS) THUS THE NAME OF GOD “JEHOVAH” IS 100% JEWISH) 11/15/2018

SUMMARY NATIONAL (AARONIC) PRIESTHOOD In relation to Israel, GOD took the name of JEHOVAH (GOD’S REAL NAME IS “I AM/ELOHIM”) or YAHWEH in the Hebrew…. But no Jew would say the name of GOD (YHWH) … they took the consonants of YHWH and vowels of ADONAI (LORD) … stuck them together and got YEHOWAH (JEHOVAH) SO JEHOVAH IS NOT REALLY THE NAME OF GOD… IT’S A NAME ISRAEL CAME UP WITH IN AN EFFORT NOT TO SAY “YAHWEH”. 11/15/2018

JEHOVAH is a combination word DEALS STRICKLY WITH ISRAEL SO AARON’S PRIESTS WERE PRIESTS OF JEHOVAH i.e. they were NATIONAL in scope THUS, LINE OF AARON, SOLELY PRIESTS OF JEHOVAH THEY RELATED TO GOD ONLY IN CONNECTION TO ISRAEL…. NOT GENTILES 11/15/2018

BUT MELCHIZEDEK IS A PRIEST OF “MOST HIGH GOD” THAT IS UNIVERSAL NAME OF GOD, “EL ELYON” .. IN ALL OF HEAVEN AND ALL OF EARTH INCLUDES BOTH JEW AND GENTILE 11/15/2018

CAN YOU SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING? MELCHIZEDEK IS THE TYPE OF CHRIST… HE IS A PRIESTHOOD THAT IS UNIVERSAL (JEW AND GENTILE)… VASTLY SUPERIOR TO THE NATIONAL PRIESTHOOD OF AARON. JESUS IS NOT JUST MESSIAH OF ISRAEL … BUT OF THE WORLD. AMEN, AND AMEN … PTL 11/15/2018

ABRAHAM UNDERSTOOD THIS CONCEPT (GEN. 14: 22) “I HAVE LIFTED UP MY HEAD UNTO JEHOVAH, GOD MOST HIGH.” Jehovah’s portion is ISRAEL Even NEBUCHADNEZZER (in Daniel), THE GENTILE states “THE MOST HIGH DOETH ACCORDING TO HIS WILL IN HEAVEN AND EARTH” Even demons who were cast out by our LORD said “what have we to do with Thee, Jesus, thou SON OF THE MOST HIGH GOD?” 11/15/2018

LAST POINT FOR THIS MORNING “AND ABRAHAM GAVE A TENTH OF THE SPOILS” SPOILS COMES FROM THE WORD “akroginian” … which is two words “akron” means the highest point ,,, and “fis” which means a heap. SO, AKROGINIAN MEANS ABRAHAM GAVE HIM THE HEAP ON THE TOP. OF ALL THE STUFF HE HAD, HE GAVE MELICHIZEDEK THE HEAP ON THE TOP…. HE GAVE MEL THE TOP STUFF…. HE GAVE HIM THE BEST…. THAT’S TITHING J.
