Melchizedek

And then you also have the Temple Mount, which, you know, all the prophecy that's behind that.

I do feel like the Temple Mount is a solar Melchizedek Logos vortex, you know, that's anchoring all of that fallen Elohim energy into it.

But I think it's running both.

It's running both, you know, systems, fallen and non-fallen.

Tell me more about this visitor at the perimeter.

Did you learn his name? He calls himself Melchizedek, king of Salem.

Something unlocked in the corridors of Abram's mind.

Suddenly he felt the presence of another, his God.

I've never heard of a king by that name, though.

He must have just recently risen to power.

I'm surprised we've never learned of this Melchizedek.

Salem is not so far from us.

And not only that, keep that title no matter how they live their life.

Now, while there are religious men today who are called priests, let me clearly state that the only priesthood that exists today is Jesus as the eternal high priest, according to the order of Melchizedek.

There are no earthly mediators needed for access to God.

The Jewish priesthood and sacrifices ended in 70 AD when the temple was destroyed.

Two phases to the Messiah's work, priestly and royal.

Just like Psalm 110, you are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

Some traditions say that was spoken about David.

So David, the prototype of the Messiah, is a priestly king.

He was appointed by God.

And then God also said of Jesus, you are a priest forever after or according to the order of Melchizedek.

Melchizedek is mentioned briefly in the Old Testament, Genesis chapter 14 in verse 18.

And he was a priest of God before the Mosaic law was given.

this is four hundred years before moses and aaron were born but there was already this priest and the bible doesn't give us any history about him or who he was but it's so interesting that the name melchizedek means king of righteousness and he was king of salem which means king of peace The author of Hebrews is quoting from Psalm 110, verse 4, when he says, God is speaking of Jesus through David a thousand years before Jesus was born, that he was going to be a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

jesus was a priest forever without beginning and without end according to the order of the king of righteousness and the king of peace what this tells us is that jesus is not the priest for everybody he's the priest for those who are willing to walk in righteousness and who want to be at peace with god some people might claim the name of jesus But if their lives don't reflect the character of Jesus, if they don't demonstrate a desire in any way, shape, or form to be like Jesus, Scripture tells us that they are not likely children of God.

It doesn't mean that they can never become children of God.

He was a murderer from the beginning, and he does not stand in the truth because there's no truth in him.

Well, it's woven throughout the stories of Scripture.

You see even Abraham when he comes out to meet Melchizedek.

Melchizedek serves bread and wine.

there and they share that together.

It is a major part of Jacob's blessing to Judah and what that represents for Judah, which again, when you look at the wholeness of history, that's kind of a major theme there.

That's not the right use for the wine.

So wine, again, bringing us back to Psalm 104, it was created to gladden the hearts of men, to bring joy, to be a symbol of blessing, to be a symbol of abundance.

As Alanna mentioned with Abraham and Melchizedek, it was a sign of covenant.

And it's interesting, as the Baal HaHaloshan point out, the word Sukkah is connected to the word Socheh, and Socheh means to see, just like Yiska.

Yiska, one of the reasons she was called Yiska is because Shesokha, or people looked at her.

Sha'akol sochem b'yafya.

So sukha is from the word socha, but why is sukha about vision? Because sukha restores your perspective.

We who have fled for refuge might have a strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope that is set before us.

We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul and hope that enters into the inner places beyond the curtain where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 6, 17 through 20.

By the way, I just did a whole three-part series on Mechizedek.
