3. 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

4. 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

5. NOTICE VERSES
“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…..

6. 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

7. 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)

8. 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

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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.

17. 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

18. 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

19. 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

20. 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

21. 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

22. 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

23. 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

24. 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

25. 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
