Kingdom Come

Interestingly, the first time the word “covenant” is found in the Bible is with Noah, but as detailed in post 32, this does not deny the existence of this covenant made by God when he said

“Let us make man[kind] in our [androgynous] image and let them have dominion.” (Genesis 1:26-27)

“For when God made promise to ______ [everyone he ever made a promise to], because he could swear by no greater,

1. he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee…For men verily swear by the greater:
2. and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

That by two immutable things [swearing and an oath], in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation,

• who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us of the soul, both sure and stedfast.
• Which hope we have as an anchor.” (Hebrews 6:13-19)

Sure sounds like the author of this statement is thinking about Noah’s ark.

The LORD is not making but establishing / making to stand firm / confirming / deeding over the existing covenant of dominion made

1. first with Adam after the serpent tried to end it with the only two humans alive at that time,
2. then with the lineage of the Seed of the Woman after Cain tried to end it by killing the first Seed of the Woman.

“The earth is the LORD‘s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath

1. founded it upon the seas [chaos above and below the firmament],
2. and established it upon the floods / forces of destruction
   1. during the nights of creation
   2. the era of giant demigods,
   3. and now the deluge.” (Psalm 24:1-2)

We really need to clarify our understanding of covenants beyond suburban tract housing.

A major rule in health care is “If it wasn’t documented, it wasn’t done.”

When it comes to eternal life or death, God Himself acts upon the written word.

“a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them.” (Malachi 3:16-17)

 “I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it…the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened…and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works…And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:11-15)

As detailed in every one of the over 1,000 episodes of Law and Order and its derivatives, without the documented laws and trespasses against which to compare and contrast a defendant’s behavior there can be no judgment.

There is tantalizing archeological evidence that the language God spoke to Adam was not only propagated to humanity but preserved in written documents by Adam and his heirs as part of their assignment of dominion “in the likeness of God” over the earth, explicitly stated by Enoch.

Now, my son Mathusala, all these things I speak unto thee, and write for thee. To thee I have revealed all, and have given thee books of everything. Preserve, my son Mathusala, the books written by thy father; that thou mayest transmit them to future generations.” (Enoch 81)

“the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” (I Peter 1:25)

Assyriologists such as Samuel Noah Kramer, famous for his life’s work of deciphering cuneiform tablets, believe that the earliest language of civilization during the Ubaid period, i.e. first population during Adam’s lifetime has never been uncovered. From a biblical context, this would be the heavenly language God taught Adam and his people,. Its existence would have, of course, been targeted for elimination by the Adversary, who naturally developed a rival system. Like any state-controlled media, this was for the purpose of controlling the masses.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints…And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him…But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith…Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” (Jude 1)

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead…

As obedient children…Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.…if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work… Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things…But with the precious blood of Christ / the Chosen One / Seed of the Woman…

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times…

for you who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God…

Being born again…by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.,,And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (I Peter 1)

Get it? Christianity is NOT a “new” religion separate from Judaism or Abraham’s monotheistic “many nations.” It is exactly the same faith in God’s word when he told the Adams that the Seed of the Woman would, at some point in the future, destroy the power of sin and death.

Archeology has uncovered documents recording complex subject matters dating approximately a thousand years before Noah’s flood. We can be certain that God’s rulers beginning with Adam, Enoch, Noah most certainly also kept records of God’s word “which liveth and abideth forever” as he spoke – sound energy becoming reality – “Let there be…”.

Job’s address as the land of” Uz” (Job 1:1), named for one of Shem’s grandsons, his herding lifestyle in what soon became a heavily urbanized area, his experience with the pre-urbanized raiding Chaldeans, and his long lifespan estimated at about 200 years dates him as living during the formative stages of post-flood civilization prior to Moses’ compilation of Genesis. He was not an Israelite, but a follower of Eber, a Hebrew like Abram with whom he possibly crossed paths, as Abram lived 175 years during this same time frame.

Job proves to us that the way of salvation in ancient times was exactly the same as that known to us under the terms of our formalized experience of religion in modern times – conviction of sin, repentance and asking forgiveness.

Job is the archetype of every psychologically tormented individual who questions the nature of God and his relationship to humanity. He asks the questions every single individual needs to find out. “Are you there? Do I matter to you? Can you get me out of this mess I’m in from breaking fundamental laws of human nature (AKA sin)? Is there value in what I’ve done in this life after death?”

Until the Christ restored the immortal state to humanity at his resurrection, there were mortal humans in the legal order / lineage of Melchizedek going back to the first Adam. This is not a human lineage, but like Jacob’s inheritance to his sons, a responsibility based on the recipient’s proven ability to “overcome” self-interest and self-preservation and suffer the consequences of obeying God, rather than man.

The title of Melchizedek does not have to be stated with every individual in this order, but the  Melchizedeks 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.

“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)

“let us go…to the house of the God of Jacob; and…we will walk in his paths:” (Isaiah 2:3-5)

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, and he went / walked in the ways of the Lord until the day of his death, as Noah and his son Shem had taught him.” (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. And Adonizedek blessed Abram, and Abram gave him a tenth from all that he had brought from the spoil of his enemies, for Adonizedek was a priest before God.” (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)

“Unto Shem also, 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 possible pre-Columbian contact between the Old and New Worlds.

This was easier to 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.

Meso- and South American mythology is just one of hundreds of ancient world-wide cultural legends which supports this hypothesis. In their mythology, the world was periodically destroyed and rebuilt by the gods. Each age of the world was given a new sun / Light, and the world was on its Fifth Sun / Light, having been destroyed four times previously.

Immediately north of Columbia and Venezuela, the Cuna Indians of Panama, who wrote historical records on wooden tablets, had a tradition 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. 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 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

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.

4. Melchizedeks Intercede In Judgment

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

“if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father” (I John 2:1)

Yes, John is specifically referring to YHVH’s Chosen Savior at that time in history. But John did not introduce a brand new concept.

YHVH is the prototype for the spin-off angry, punitive, thunderbolt-hurling Zeus / Satan.

“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.

Abraham put his own life on the line when he acted as advocate / defense counsel for the guilty. To put this in perspective, compare to God’s thunderous response when Job questioned him.

“Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?” (Job 38:2)

“but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?…Peradventure ten shall be found there [not necessarily Abraham’s own children, but Hebrews]. 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 – Moses & Aaron, David

“Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron…David also his servant, [he] took him from the sheepfolds: From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance…we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. (Psalm 77:20, 78, 100:3)

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)

Interestingly, while personalizing this mission, he delegated it to his undersecretaries in the State Department.

“I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel…Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” (Matthew 15:24, 28:18-20)

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 [Paul]charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ…endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: ” (II Timothy 4)

“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)

Pagan accounts of their gods’ earliest involvement validate the biblical and apocryphal accounts of the direct pre-flood contact between humanity and fallen angels / materialized spirit sons of God. See relevant post for details on such materialization for the purpose of creating demigods able to interact freely with humanity.

As detailed in the apocryphal books, the sons of god who considered engaging in this behavior knew it carried dire risks, which indeed came to pass. 

“the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” (Jude 1:6)

But as detailed in the relevant post, the spirits given by the fallen angels to enervate the hybrids do not return to God since he didn’t authorize this, and instead are doomed to linger on earth seeking bodies to possess after losing theirs in the flood. (Enoch 15:8-10)

Paganism adapted to the absence of the gods’ material presence by worshipping evil spirit empowered humans, or employing idols to house the gods’ spirits, with priests as mediums to intercede between the spirits and humanity.

In both pre- and post-flood paganism, the god is lord (belu) and man is servant or slave (ardu). In order to access the power promised by the spirits, humans must serve the gods.

Pagan morality is not a concept of absolute right and wrong or how to treat other humans. It is simply staying on good terms with the god, who is more often than not capricious, just like any human tyrant ruler.

Sin is rebellion against the gods’ will, sometimes with the idea that sin is man’s wishing to “live on his own terms“.

~ 2600 – ~ 2181 BCE: Egypt’s Old Kingdom spans the Flood

The Pyramid Texts, the earliest known corpus (academic for “literary body”) of ancient Egyptian religious texts, were carved onto the subterranean walls and sarcophagi of pyramids at Saqqara. The oldest of the texts have been dated to c. 2400–2300 BC., the era immediately preceding Noah’s Flood. Consistent with the Hebrew scriptures report of this era, anthropologists also date Classical Sumerian cuneiform texts, reflecting the fallen angels’ reign on earth, as ending at this same time.

The Papyrus of Turin / Turin Kings List dating from this time lists all of the ‘official’ historic Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt from the beginning of time.

Well, more or less. Significantly, rows 1-11 are missing – the records of the first rulers.

Like the Sumerians, the ancient Egyptian Pharoahs considered their civilization as the legacy of gods who came from elsewhere in the cosmos.

We can logically deduce that rows 1-11 were redacted by succeeding paganized Pharaohs because the Turin King List validates, not the pagan Sumerian records, but the only other ancient option – the biblical account of the Order of Melchizedek from Adam to Shem.

Egyptian Book of the Dead or The Egyptian Book of Living & Dying was a guidebook to assist the deceased in the afterlife and comprised a collection of hymns, spells and instructions to allow the deceased to pass through obstacles in the afterlife. The work has similarities with ‘The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying’ and the Mesoamerican Popol Vuh.

These mimic the books by which the dead are judged by the Hebrew God.

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it,..

• and the books were opened…and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works, and they were judged every man according to their works. –
  • “Every man’s work shall be made manifest…fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.” (I Corinthians 3:12-14)
• and another book was opened, which is the book of life
  • And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:11-15)

In order to make sense of this book of life, we need to stay on track with the standard literary format of any book – reference back to the beginning of the story to understand the ending.

The first mention of a book recording life is found at the beginning of the history of human life, where it is stated to be a book listing the names of some of Adam’s offspring.

“This is the book of the generations of Adam.” (Genesis 5)

Adam, whose life was breathed into him by God, then passed to Eve through a cloned stem cell from Adam’s bone, was then passed through the Women’s mitochondria in her ova.

“And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.” (Genesis 3:20)

A straightforward interpretation of this passage is that all human beings start out written in the book of life.

“While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live? But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall [only] go to him.” (II Samuel 12:22-2)

We can conclude from this that all children younger than the age of accountability, regardless of infant baptism into a faith or belonging to a faith-less family, are found written in the book of life and enjoy eternal life.

But the Bible states flat-out that it is possible for adults to be blotted out of this book.
