Kingdom Come

1. Melchizedeks Walk With God

Both Adam and Enoch (stated twice in his case for emphasis) “walked with God“. This is key to recognizing scripturally legitimate anointed ministers of God.

“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth...And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth…But Noah…walked with God…” (Genesis 6:5-18)

“God, before whom…Abraham and Isaac did walk” (Genesis 48:14-15)

2. Melchizedeks Prophesy / Teach God’s Word

“Abram…went to Noah and his son Shem, and he remained with them to learn the instruction of the Lord and his ways…thirty-nine years, and Abram knew the Lord from three years old,” (Jasher 9:5-6)

“Adoni-zedek [Lord of Righteousness, king of Jerusalem, the same was Shem, went out with his men to meet Abram and his people, with bread and wine [a blessing of hospitality].” (Jasher 16:11-12, confirmed by Genesis 14:18)

3. Melchizedeks Have World-Wide Dominion

It is helpful to reset our visual focus from a narrow view on God’s agent of salvation to the broad view of God’s object of salvation.

“The Lord…is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (II Peter 3:9)

“Shem…the father of all the children of Eber.” (Genesis 10:21)

Recall that the ancient title of “father” meant “authority”, not sperm donor, so clearly indicating that “Eber’s children” are those who accepted righteous Shem’s spiritual authority.

The meaning of Eber as “region beyond”, explains why Eber’s story is not found in the Bible. He was out of reach of the biblical record-keepers,  However, there is evidence that the biblical documentation of his life’s work as a Melchizedek is documented by the scattered nations he served.

Historians have explored pre-Columbian contact between the Old and New Worlds. This was easier to accomplish within Eber’s operational lifespan of about 200 years prior to the breakup of the single landmass in the days of Peleg, Eber’s son.

The Cuna Indians of Panama left written records that after a devastating flood, ‘. . . there appeared a great personage who . . . taught the people how to behave, what to name things, and how to use them. He was followed by a number of disciples who spread his teachings. . . .’ (D. B. Stout, Handbook of South American Indians, vol. IV, p. 267.)

The Olmec civilization was the first Mesoamerica civilization. Accounts preserved by successor Mesoamerican cultures tell of a great hero, Ce Acatl Topiltzín Quetzalcoatl who taught people to be good. In one account he confronted priests of a capital city in an attempt to stop human sacrifice. 

The meaning of “Quetzalcoatl” is “feathered serpent”. This is consistent with the biblical seraphim. The most famous expression of Quetzalcoatl’s is as the high priest Topiltzin. This form is the only one in which he is truly human and is consistent with Eber, the high priest of the Most High God.

Another manifestation of Quetzalcoatl is that of a power force of wind / spirit. Another of Quetzalcoatl’s associate forms is the Morning star. In this form he battles the stars that overwhelm the sun at night and as the last star visible before the sun rises he has defeated the stars that seek to destroy the sun (Brundage 110).

The latter identification of Quetzalcoatl as a pagan god, blurring of the identity of the True God and his Melchizedek, is easily understood as the Usurper’s Seed of the Serpent’s determination to assume the identity of the Seed of the Woman

4. Melchizedeks Intercede In Judgment

The essential role of a priest is to be an intercessor, an advocate, a spokesman between sinful humanity and righteous God.

“And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do…And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now…

Notice that the LORD was simply informing Abraham, not asking for his opinion on his intended course of action.

“but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. And Abraham drew near, and said…Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.” (Genesis 18:17-33)

Don’t assume that Abraham – the Father / Authority of Many Nations was just trying to rescue his own blood kin. Abram father of “a nation” was Hebrew before he became Abraham, and following the example of his “father Eber” he had won Mamre, Eshcol, and Aner, all Amorite giants, to the LORD’s side in this wicked land, demonstrated by their confederacy with him despite being such a minority in Abram’s force of trained servants born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen” (Genesis 14:14)

5. Melchizedeks Shepherd the Flock

This activity is stated as a primary objective in the Kingdom of God by our penultimate Melchizedek.

“I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep…the wolf [such as Nimrod]…scattereth the sheep…And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” (John 10:11-16)

7. Melchizedeks Submit To God’s Will Unto Death

” The Revelation of Jesus Christ…who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince [unique heir by birthright] of the [human] kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood…for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” (Revelation 1:1-6, 5:9-10)

“Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits…he set it up in…the province of Babylon…Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together…all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up…and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded…whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.” (Daniel 3:1-30)
