Kingdom Come

“Thou HAST put all things in subjection under his / man’s / ha-Adam’s feet….But now we see not yet all things put under him…For it became him / God the Father, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings…

Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren,…And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. Forasmuch then…he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death / separation from God, that is, the devil;…And deliver them…[who were] subject to bondage.” (Hebrews 2:8-15)

Can we not see that this applies to the first as well as to the last Adam?

And God’s Covenant of Dominion stands, simply transferred to Adam’s Chosen Heirs in a trust.

A Revocable Trust keeps the Grantor in control of the assets, allowing the Grantor to change or terminate the trust at will. 

An Irrevocable Trust requires the Grantor to permanently relinquish ownership and control over the assets. God’s Trust to mankind is irrevocable. “For I am the LORD, I change not.” (Malachi 3:6)

The creation and operation of every trust requires three distinct parties:

1. The Grantor creates the trust document and contributes the assets. In this case, the Grantor is the Creator of the earth and all its living populations, YHVH.
2. The Beneficiary is the person or persons designated to receive the benefits of the trust – property and rights. In this case, this is the eternal Only Begotten Son of God – designated heir – after proving to be in the image and likeness of the father, i.e. representative / priest and dominus / king: Melchizedek.
3. The Trustees handles the trust and manages the assets until the beneficiary takes over. 

This first testament granting dominion to those who are in “our image, after our likeness” follows the standard requirements when probated for authenticity by any claimant.

• written down –
  • So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them…and God said unto them…have dominion.” (Genesis 1:27-28, 2:7)
  • the general assembly and church of the firstborn / heirs, which are written in heaven.” (Hebrews 12:23)
• signed – Back in the day before the alphabet or universal literacy, symbols / signs were used to identify a person, especially authority figures. Think sign-et ring or military in-sign-ia. God tells us that his in-sign-ia is found in the heavens.
  • And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven…and let them be for signs…even his eternal power and Godhead…Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven…sign-ifieth the removing of those… things that are made…we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved.” (Genesis 1:14, Romans 1:20, Hebrews 12:24-28)
• sealed / guaranteed to be truth by legal authority –
  • “there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time…But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end…in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals…Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof [to finally bring about the end of judgment]?” (Daniel 12:1-4, Revelation 5:1-2)
• witnessed per required legal process –
  • “Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,”(Revelation 5:1)
• confirmed by swearing with an oath to end of all strife / dispute on the matter. (Hebrews 6:13-17)
  • The LORD hath sworn and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec: (Hebrews 7:25)

The following Order of Melchizedek is drawn from Genesis 5, Jasher chapter 2, and Enoch chapter 3.

1. Adam begat [named as heir because he was] a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth, “Because God has appointed me another seed in the place of Abel, for Cain has slain him.” This specifically references the “Seed of the Woman”, not just a replacement child, since Adam begat many other sons and daughter during the 800 years of the rest of his life. 
2. Seth begat Enos, “Because in that time the sons of men began to multiply, and to afflict their souls and hearts by transgressing and rebelling against God.”
3. Enos begat Cainan. Since no translation of this son’s name is given, the logical conclusion is that, as “Christ-ian” means a follower of Christ, so “Cain-an” is a follower of Cain, consistent with this era of transgressing and rebelling against God. But no! Cainan’s biography shows that he was notoriously Anti-Cain, like Cain was Anti-Christ.
4. Cainan begat Mahalaleel, who became wise and had knowledge and skill in all wisdom, and he reigned over the whole earth, with his wisdom he ruled over spirits and demons; and he turned some of the sons of men to the service of God. And Cainan knew that the Lord would in the latter days bring upon them the waters of the flood and wrote upon tablets of stone, what was to take place in time to come, and he put them in his treasures.
   1. This account parallels the Sumerian preparation for the flood and is far more credible than assuming that Moses had to start from a blank page regarding the pre-flood history with God dictating to him word for word the preceding history.
   2. As the first of Adam’s heirs to have a record of reigning, not just inheriting this is credible, since Cainan was born when Adam was about 325 years old, likely replaced Adam when he was perhaps ~600 years old and Cainan in his prime of ~300 years old, if not earlier due to Adam’s incapacitation in some way by Cain’s henchmen.
5.  Mahalaleel begat Jared: And the angels, the children of the heaven, said let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us [hybrid] children [knowing it was] a great sin.” And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on Mount Hermon.
6. Jared begat Enoch, and Enoch walked with God and he served the Lord, and…all the kings of the sons of men…required of Enoch to reign over them in response to experiencing the wickedness and slaughter brought by the hybrid sons, to which he consented…And Enoch taught them wisdom, knowledge, and the ways of the Lord. Enoch reigned over the sons of men two hundred and forty-three years, consistent with Cainan’s estimated rule of 300 years following Adam’s estimated rule of 300 years, Enoch is named as the third reigning Melchizedek.
7. Enoch begat Methuselah, all the kings of the earth rose and took Methuselah his son and anointed him when Enoch had ascended into heaven, and they caused him to reign over them in the place of his father as the fourth Melchizedek to rule. But in the latter days of Methuselah, the sons of men rebelled against God and they transgressed, and they corrupted their ways, and would not hearken to the voice of Methuselah, In those days Seth the son of Adam died.”
8. Methuselah begat Lamech.
9. Lamech begat Noah saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.
10. Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth whose descendants spread across the earth, and he went in the ways of his father Methuselah, perfect and upright with God. Noah never met Adam or Seth but he lived concurrently with – surely with personalized training under – Cainan for 170 years, Mahlallel for 234 years, Jared for 336 years, none from Enoch who was taken before Noah was born, Methuselah for 369 yrs up to the year of the Flood, Lamech for 595 years years until 5 years before the Flood.
    1. And after the Flood Noah said Blessed be the LORD God of Shem. While Christians, like pagans, pray “Please God bless…” in vain repetitions at every prayer, the correct Hebrew prayer is “Baruch Ata Adoni” – “Blessed are you Oh Lord”. By this formula at least we understand that Noah has conferred his unique relationship as the LORD God’s representative to Shem. And Melchizedek [Shem] king of [Jeru]Salem…the priest of the most high God…said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth…This” Melchi-sedec…being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also…King of peace…Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.” (Hebrews 7:1-4)

“This” Melchizedek is directing our attention to a particular individual among a group of peers. We do this all the time when pointing out a particularly succulent piece of fruit or luscious pastry among others that we wish to purchase. “I want this one.

This understanding is confirmed grammatically by the Greek term translated into English as “this man” where the focus of this Greek term is not “man”, as in male or human, but on “this one out of a group of similar ones.”
