The Order of Melchizedek is as easily discernible as the dynastic order of King David in the database provided in Genesis 5 of Adam’s begotten sons. There is no prerequisite in either list that all of the listed heirs assumed the position. Their task was to pass on Adam’s genetics and unique epigenetics.
- Adam was clearly the first chosen priest-king / Melchizedek, since Jesus the Christ is named as the last Adam. (I Corinthians 15:45).
- And Adam begat / named as his heir Seth, who was murdered long before he could take over from his father.
- And Seth begat Enosh…
- And Enosh begat Kanan
- And Kanan begat Mahalalel.
- Jared is documented in the book of his son, Enoch, as “in the days of”, which always defines the era of a ruler.
- “Enoch…had this testimony, that he pleased God.” (Hebrews 11:5), within a timeframe consistent with Adam aging out of the position.
- Methuselah certainly carried on the role since Enoch left it so early,
- and begat Lamech who died before his father but long after his begotten son Noah was of age to take over.
- And God said unto Noah… with thee will I establish my covenant..” (Genesis 6:13,18; 7:6)

Although the Sumerian King List is pagan, it nonetheless acknowledges world dominion / kingship as a divine gift which had been bestowed upon mankind in primordial times by the Creator, passed down from king to king and from city to city, and held by only one person at a time.
In the WB-62 Sumerian king list recension, “Ziusudra”, or Zin-Suddu of [the city of] Shuruppak, the son of Ubara-Tutu” is recorded as having reigned as both king and gudug priest for ten sars. When we convert the Babylonian sexagesimal system to the Roman decimal system we arrive at 900 years, a reasonable approximation of Noah’s lifespan of 950 years, consistent with Noah being named heir prior to reigning.
The Instructions of [the king of] Shuruppak/ “the healing place” are among the oldest surviving literature, dating to the early third millennium BCE, / 2900’s – 2700’s BC, matching Methuselah’s era. A significant example of wisdom literature, they are intended to teach proper piety, instill virtue, and preserve community standards.
This matches God’s eternal word that
“unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings…Behold, I will send you Eli-jah / “My God Is YHVH” the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD…[when] I come and smite the earth with a curse.” (Malachi 4:2-6)
The meaning of Sumerian “Shuruppak” can be matched with the Hebrew “Jeru-salem” / where “peace” is only one element of “wholeness” achieved through spiritual healing.
- The king of Shuruppak who was the son of
- U-bara-Tutu, / Son [of] A King – who was the last king of Sumer prior to the deluge, was the son
- of En-men-dur-ana / Priest King– [in] totality [of the] upper / heaven“who entered heaven without dying”.
We can identify Enoch from his exceptional qualification, then track his dynasty while translating into Hebrew that
- Enmendurana / Enoch was father of
- Ubara-Tutu / Methuselah who died the year of the flood, who was the father of
- Ziusudra / Noah who inherited the role of Priest King / Melchizedek through the flood.”
The tale of Ziusudra / “He Has Found Life” is known from a single fragmentary tablet written in Sumerian. In the Sumerian version of Noah, the first part deals with the creation of man and the animals and the founding of the first cities Eridu, Bad-tibira, Larak, Sippar, and Shuruppak. After a missing section in the tablet, we learn that the gods have decided to send a flood to destroy mankind. who received warning of the impending flood and rescued humanity and animals in a boat
From Noah onward, the title of Melchizedek does not have to be stated with every individual in this order, but are identifiable based on leadership behavior.
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.
Followed by, again within a timeframe consistent with the immediate transfer of authority, “Noah..became heir of the righteousness which is by faith”, Melek – Zadok.” (Hebrews 11:7)
“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.” (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
“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. Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.” (Daniel 3:28-30)
“I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of YHVH’s Savior, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.” (Revelation 20:4)
