For This Melchisedec

Hebrews 7:1-2 – Part ii

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; (Hebrews 7:1)

To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; (Hebrews 7:2)

A Special Body: A Special Creation

   What is the continuation of an endless life? If a life is endless, then where did it begin? In expanding this question, if the life was endless, then it must be relevant to eternity. These are questions one must answer concerning the Son of God. When life begins at conception then we understand (in the temporal world) that this is the beginning as a human being. However, before, long before we were born, long before we were in the loins of our great grandfathers, God was working in His book, fashioning our members. As the Lord designed the wonderful creation around us, there was no accident in creation, everything was purposeful according to God’s will. Every aspect of His design did not have chance attached to it. For everything given and/or created is upheld by the word of His power. (Hebrews 1) It was the highest himself who designed each one of us. There in the eternal mind of God, in His great library of facts and figures, and designs of creation, we find volumes of books dedicated to the design and creation of every man that has ever been born of a woman.

   Even the Son of God, when he was manifest upon the earth, had a body that was specifically prepared and designed for Him to take away the sin of the world. (Hebrews 10:5) Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me. Notice the three facts in this verse: first, He came into the world (showing His pre-existence as the Son of God). Secondly, He was manifested as the sacrifice; for the sacrifices (under the law) could not take away the element of sin that Adam brought into the world. As Adam became sin and death, so the Lord Jesus went into death to take away sin and give us life. Thirdly, the body that was given was to accomplish the perfect will of God, for Lo, in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will. (Hebrews 10:7) Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. The body of the Lord was prepared to complete the counsels of God, and therefore, each one of us have been fashioned, and made by the highest Himself.

   Each one of us have our own looks, our own thoughts and own actions that are different from each other. Although we try to conform the human element into duplicates, and cloned individuals, our Creator has given each one of us a different character and personality. We have different blood types, we have different DNA, we have different heights, and we have different lips, we have different colors, and we have different intellect, and so much more, for how can a mere pen describe one of the most intricate creations that God has made, yes, man. We, as a people of this world, through the history of mankind have not discovered all that is within our very life. The things that we possess, within ourselves, are not even known by our own being. When suffering pain, it is different from the pain of others; when grieving for loss, it is different from others who grieve. The psalmist, while under the presence and inspiration of the Holy Spirit Himself, gave us a true look into the very existence of our life. He allows us to peek into the window of eternity, as the stars fly by and time unravels, we are brought to a volume of a book where God wrote and designed all our members. The psalmist is one witness, but then the Spirit of God opens another window, and God speaks to Jeremiah, and He takes Jeremiah back before he was born into this world. In Psalm 139, we have a wonderful description by the Spirit of God concerning every human being that was ever born. The following are verses 13 thru 18 of Psalm 139.

 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

    This is a window, not only in the life of the psalmist, but it is a window into your life. The great God who created the heavens and the earth fashioned everything about you, everything was under His design, and He brought that design forward at your birth. All your members were written and fashioned and recorded in His book. The library of mankind covers a vast part of all His creative works. He, who has the power of an endless life, brought forth YOUR life. This thought is also magnified by the Spirit’s mind in the Book of Jeremiah, Chapter 1, verses 4 thru 9.

 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.

 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.

    We have two revelations of two different men (the psalmist and Jeremiah), their creation, and their lives. Each one God reveals that their origin was from His divine design book, and that He was the power of that design, and that life. Our own lives have been designed according to the will and purpose of God. But what does this have to do with the Son of God? or for that matter His manifestation as Melchisedec in Genesis Chapter 14?

   In our study of Hebrews Chapter 7, the very first verse takes us back to Genesis Chapter 14. Through the continuation of the grand revelation of God, He continues the revelation of Melchisedec through the Scriptures revealing to us all of the aspects of the design, the names, the purposes, and the character of the Son of God. Hebrews Chapter 7 is the continuation of an endless life that was, and is, in Christ Jesus our Lord. We find the power of an endless life in Chapter 7, verse 16. Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

The Perfection of an Endless Life

   Close your eyes, see the emerald circle of an endless life around His throne. (Revelation 4:3) And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

These two references added as an aside: As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so [was] the appearance of the brightness round about. This [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw [it], I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake. (Ezekiel 1:28)

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. (Genesis 9:13)

    Take a ring that has been fashioned out of gold, and made in all perfection, tell me, where did it begin, and where does it end? You see, we need to clarify the power of an endless life. For there is no beginning of days, and there is no end of life, for within the Son of God is ALL life, He IS life, everything that is created has been given substance, or life, by the endless power of life that is found within the Son of God. Take all the brain power of mankind (from Adam to this very age) and tell the world what and how is an endless life. Only the highest Himself can define this marvel which is too wonderful for our comprehension. For only God can possess it, and only God can give it. ALL life is His possession, ALL life belongs to Him. My life and your life, all that is within your history is written on the pages of time. My true history, my true future is written in God’s book, in the pages of the mysteries of God. This mystery is only one of many that mankind has not yet been able to unfold, for there are multitudes upon multitudes of mysteries that fills God’s vast library out of humanity. In these vast volumes, member after member, blood after blood, flesh after flesh, thoughts after thoughts, then above all these volumes there is one special volume found, and it is in Hebrews Chapter 10, we learn of this volume, this specific volume belongs to the highest Himself. He fills the pages with Himself, and about Himself, about His works in and with and through the children of mankind. But this volume belongs to Himself, it is His revelation of Himself to mankind. Only God, the highest Himself, can be found in this volume. As in that day we still see Him, as He is, and as He walked among men. With great love, God possessed in His very heart and acted in His love, to bring Himself into the world to take away sin, and annul death, and then the promise to those who love Him that one day they will be like Him. 

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (1st John 3:1 thru 2)

   And we will be known as we are known, as we read the following verses found in 1st Corinthians Chapter 13, verses 11 thru 12, then, 2nd Corinthians 3:18 and lastly 1st Corinthians 15:49. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

2nd Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

1st Corinthians 15:49. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

   In the library of many books, in the library of God Almighty, we are known as we will be known. Although we look through a glass darkly as our life unfolds before us, God sees our beginning; the first stroke of His pen, from the first sentence of description to the very end, and to the eternal state, when those who love the Lord Jesus will be with Him in the new heavens and the new earth. Have you ever thought that you share the power of His endless life? Even while on earth, the Lord Jesus announced that He was the dispenser and giver of eternal life. (John 10:28) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. This is divine power, this is endless life, and we know the possessor and the Creator of all things. (Hebrews 7:16 thru17) Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

   In the context of these verses, we have the Son of God who has the power of an endless life; not joined to Melchisedec but mirrored by Melchisedec. In the counsels of God, before the manifestation of Jesus Christ in the flesh, there was not a GodMan in heaven or upon the earth. Each time that He manifested Himself before He became flesh, it was to reveal the different characteristics and facets of the Son of God; all building to the body; and to the flesh that was prepared for Him. When Christ was manifested in the flesh, there was now a GodMan upon earth, yet, still, no GodMan in heaven for us.    (Ephesians Chapter 2, verse 15 tells us this: Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace.

   In Genesis Chapter 14, the Son of God was manifested as Melchisedec, but not in the flesh. This was yet to come in the fullness of time. When Christ ascended up to heaven (as the glorified Man) as a Man in heaven, He took on the character of not only King, but Priest as well; this is the GodMan, the Melchisedec of old, and the Melchisedec of now. Until He was manifested in the flesh, until the GodMan came, Melchisedec was a heavenly Priest, now (with the manifestation of Christ in the flesh) we have a Man in heaven, the Priest of God, made higher than the heavens to minister, to make intercession, and to give unto us the wonder of the Spirit of God Himself.

   We have received a gift, and this gift is the power of His endless life. We are the creation of God, and we have been formed by the divine hand, and the word of His power. He has formed each one of us after the fashion of the volume of our own book. He has taken each one of us as the lump of clay, then after the fashion in His book, He has molded us to serve Him as vessels of honor to honor before the world that refuses to believe in Him. He has fashioned the vessels of dishonor to dishonor; let us read from the Book of Romans, Chapter 9, verses 18 thru 23.

Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

   In the 23rd verse of Romans Chapter 9, we have this statement by the Holy Spirit of God speaking as the Almighty God, we have these words: which he (meaning the Almighty God) had afore (or before time) prepared (the vessels of mercy for His own purpose) and for His own glory. It is we, who love the Lord Jesus, who have been swept into eternity by the determinate counsels of God, that we would be vessels unto His glory throughout eternity. Even in Romans Chapter 9, we have the volume of YOUR book in heaven’s library unfolding before you. The very thoughts, the very image that you possess, the very limbs and functions all belong to God. Look at your hand: did you make that? it was made in heaven by God Almighty. Who designed it? all the little bones, all the tendons, all the nerves running down to your fingertips, the soft sense of touch, and the flesh that covers all that is beneath to protect it from the elements. Tell me, who could have designed this hand? Only the Almighty in the power of an endless life could give life and stature to every man. The simplicity of the hand becomes part of the most elaborate design, and it contributes to the counsels of God, and His divine grand plan. Are not our hands a divine mystery? And yet, we see them every day, and give no thought to the One who designed such a marvel. I want you to take another look at your hand, and think, tell its history, what has it done, where has it traveled, what has it accomplished, and in your thoughts, you will come to the conclusion that everywhere your hand has traveled, everything that it has done, and everything that it has accomplished is under the divine plan of God. The hand is a small part of the complete vessel, as you have thought of your hand, think about the vessel that contains the hand. And what is that vessel doing for the honor and glory of its Creator?

The Glue: The Binding Element

   What is the future, is not the future a mystery to us? Do our plans always work, are our schemes always successful? No, the future is a mystery in itself. The psalmist stated that he was fearfully and wonderfully made. Each one of us comprehends that statement. We have a body (both tangible and intangible) (both visible and invisible) that God has given; we have life in the flesh, and we have life in the spirit. We have the faith of God, and the grace of God. Faith is the cohesive element of the volume of the book, for it is faith that binds us to the eternal God, and the power of His endless life. Faith is a substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith is the veil that has been opened so that we might walk through into the presence of the Almighty God. Christ, the Melchisedec of God, is the proof of the things not seen. Christ is the next page, the next volume that expands eternity in the power of an endless life. I hear the roster crowing, I guess it is time to go to work. It’s planting time, and I must be about my Father’s business, both spiritual and temporal. The toil of life only enriches its meaning and expands its thoughts for many tired and weary souls when at the end of the day say, Thank you Lord; and then pick up the volume of the book and turned to Psalm 139.

   What does Melchisedec contribute to life? He comes with the truth of His life. He is the true vine of all life; for herein is love, that a man (a GodMan) who is both Priest and King comes out of heaven’s glory to lay down His life for His friends. And in surrounding them with His love, He is not ashamed to call them brethren. (Hebrews 2) He came to Abraham after the great victory. Abraham (most likely) was weary from the battle, is this not just like the most high God? When we have extended ourselves far beyond ourselves, who meets us? who sustains us, who encourages us? It is not man, it is Melchisedec. Abraham is called ‘the friend of God,’ and what greater friend could a man have than God Almighty. He came to meet Abraham after the supernatural battle with the bread and wine of both communion and joy. Abraham’s victory over the four demonic kings is only a picture of Melchisedec’s work on the cross, and future glory when He will be revealed as Lord of lords, and King of kings. Abraham saw the Lord’s day and rejoiced in it. (John 8:56) Biblical victories of the men of faith in the Bible are of great importance: for each victory brings out the work of God behind the curtain in the history of mankind. When all has tumbled down, when everyone is against you, and there is no friend, there is an eternal friend who sticks closer than a brother. He is the great High Priest who has the power of an endless life, and He gives the great victory over the flesh. In the spiritual realm there are the Spirits of God, and the angels (His servants) ministering the mind and the will of God to His subjects. Not all men have faith, but those who do, enjoy the smallest victory with Melchisedec with both bread and wine. Because Melchisedec is such a mystical figure, we must proclaim that we have felt His fellowship. As Melchisedec came to Abraham, He has visited us with His compassion and grace. Blessed are they who have not seen, and yet believe. (John 20:29) Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.

The Symbols of His Love

   Notice that it was Melchisedec who came to Abraham; Abraham was not looking for God, but God was looking for Abraham. So, He approached Abraham, as Melchisedec. God is always prepared for He comes with bread and wine. He was going to share the victory: the victory over death and hell; the victory over the flesh and evil; the victory over the world, the flesh, and the devil. So now, the symbols of His work upon the cross. He unfolded to man the wonder of the power of an endless life, and left us with the symbols of His sufferings, and His victory in the bread and the wine.

The Bread

   I am the bread of life. (John 6) Especially notice verse 27 and then verse 33, and lastly verse 35; put them together and this is what you will read. (John 6:27) Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

(John 6:33) For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

(John 6:35) And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

   In this meeting with Abraham, we first see the bread of an endless life. The power of that life, and in that fellowship God Almighty wants to share eternal life with His own.

The Fruit of the Vine: Wine

   Now, the fruit of the vine: Christ is the true vine, and out of that vine comes the true wine of God. Does not your salvation give you joy? In the gospel of John, Chapter 15, the Lord Jesus affirmed that He was, and is, the true vine; and any fruit of that vine must come from Him.

   He is the true vine, as we read in verse 4 of Chapter 15. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. In verse 4, we see the wine, this is the joy and gladness that God possesses me, and I am possessed of Him. That I can do nothing except that I abide in the vine, the true vine of God’s power of an endless life. Next verse 5, I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

The Day

   In the meeting of Melchisedec in Genesis 14, Abraham did not boast of his victory, for everything is of God. Everything focuses on Melchisedec as the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth. As in the gospel of John, Chapter 15, verse 5, we are reminded, by the Savior that, without me ye can do nothing. Abraham, a man of faith, understood these words, he made an oath to the most high God by lifting up his right hand, and swearing by Him who sits upon the eternal throne. The victory was professed by Abraham as not his victory, but God’s victory. So many today feel that they can bring about their own salvation. It is impossible for a man, or a woman, or a child to see the great High Priest after the order of Melchisedec unless He comes to them. I’m sure that Abraham enjoyed the victory over the world, the flesh, and the devil, but he realized that this victory was not his own. It was someone else who delivered the enemy into his hands. That is why this meeting with Melchisedec is so important. As Abraham rejoiced in that day, he was allowed to see the Lord’s day of days when Christ would lay down Himself for His friends. (John 15:13) Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. I mentioned that Abraham was a friend of God, even though there was a long scarlet line throughout history to the cross, Melchisedec revealed the day of suffering, and the day of victory to Abraham.

Eternal Love: The Bread: The Wine: Eternal Life

   Put it together: in John 6, He is the bread of life. In John 15, He is the vine, and the true wine that gives the souls of men joy in Himself. The true vine pronounced, I give unto them eternal life in John’s gospel, Chapter 10, verse 28. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand.

   In Romans Chapter 9, we have the potter and the clay, in John Chapter 15, verse 16, we have the expression of the Creator when He proclaimed that, ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. Once again, we have to consider the eternal mind, and the power of an endless life. It is His will, and His prerogative that we go forth in His most glorious name. His love is contained in the power of an endless life; consequently, this makes His love endless. There is no dimension that can hold or contain His love, for He laid down His life for His friends. In verse 17 of John 15, He gave His disciple a commandment that ye love one another. This is not the love of man, this is God’s love. This is the undying love, the unbounded love, the love that cannot be contained for it is authored by the One who laid down His life for His friends. God is love, and our Lord Jesus Christ is the full expression of that love.

   When He met Abraham, He brought forth that full expression of that love. Abraham understood the monumental meeting with Melchisedec in the love of God. It is too bad that the rest of the world, even the world of today, won’t even try to acknowledge the Person of Jesus Christ. They can call out to a God that they do not know, they can use the word ‘God,’ it flows easily from their lips, but the words ‘the Lord Jesus Christ’ will not pass through their lips. And what is even sadder, a huge part of the professing Church (or Christendom) is embarrassed to use the name of the carpenter’s son. The world, the flesh, and the devil have been undermining the work of the cross, and the great love of God, from the very last word that Christ uttered, ‘it is finished.’ The world does not want to meet with Melchisedec. They try to explain away Genesis Chapter 14. This is to their own shame. I am the bread of life, the Lord Jesus said. I am the true vine, He declared; to the world, the great I AM, but to the world the great I AM means nothing. Their souls, and their spirits, are void of understanding. I pray God give you light in this. Listen to the Spirit of all truth: He presents the One, the only One, the Son of God; the only One who could be a GodMan on earth and in heaven. One who is the way, the truth, and the life, for no man can come to the Father, except by Jesus Christ after the order of Melchisedec.

   When two or three are gathered together in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, do they meet with a suffering Savior? Do they meet with the possessor of heaven and earth? Do they meet with the carpenter’s son? No, they meet with Melchisedec, and they take the bread and the wine, and they do show forth the Lord’s death until He comes. Do you see now, the great victory in the Lord’s death? What a wonderful Savior, what a wonderful High Priest! and to know in our hearts and in our souls that it is He who has the power of an endless life.

   We see in the meeting with Abraham, a wonderful New Testament truth. (Matthew 18:20) For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. What a wonderful picture we have in this divine meeting of Melchisedec and Abraham. The simplicity, and the complexity of the bread and the wine; this is our spiritual fortitude, for Christ comes to me where I am, whether it be on the Emmaus Road, or He stands at the door and knocks. (Revelation, Chapter 3) He comes after a great victory to hold me up in His love, and to restrain me from my own pride. A great conflict can make one weary and tired; and we can become bait for the devil. Like Peter when he denied the Lord three times, but in the end, he answered the great question from the Lord: after the resurrection of the Lord when He met with Peter and asked him three times about his love. With tear filled eyes Peter said, Lord thou knowest I love thee. Tears are a symbol or a companion of grief for Peter was grieved from the depth of his heart. He had full knowledge of his own denials, yet, burning in his heart was a love for the Lord Jesus that could not be quenched. (John 21:17) He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

The Price Paid

   As soon as Melchisedec appears in your heart, you behold the bread and the wine, because the One standing before you is Jesus Christ; for now, you understand the symbolism of the bread and wine. In Genesis Chapter 14, Abraham understood, not only the symbolism, but the great price that would be paid on the cross of Calvary. He understood the love of God, and he knew a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

   The bread was a symbol of life in Melchisedec. The vine or the wine was a symbol of joy in the truth of God. And both the bread and the wine are to carry us across the threshold to the love of God in Jesus Christ; to draw us into the bosom of the Father so that we can see all the glories of the Son of God. He manifests that glory in the hearts of His friends by giving them a divine nature. This enables us to see all the facets of this One who is called the High Priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.

   With God the Father, it is all about the Son of His love. The love of God is the love of the Father, and the love of the Son. And through the ministry of the Holy Spirit Himself, He shows forth that love in manifesting the glory of Christ before us. Take the bread, for in this bread we see the fellowship with Christ, and as Paul stated, the fellowship of His suffering. Take this wine, for as often as you do so, you show forth the Lord’s death til He comes. And here is that love, that a man (the son of man) (the Son of God) laid down His life for you and for me. This bread and wine bring us to a special place; when all around us have turned their backs on God’s Christ, we can hear the knock on the door, we can open the door, and Melchisedec will enter in with the bread and the wine, and He proclaims in Revelation, Chapter 3, I will sup with him, and he with me.

    I do believe that Abraham saw the day of the Lord’s suffering. On our side of the cross, we look back, and we see His suffering. Abraham was not at the cross, we were not at the cross, but every Christian knows, and feels the suffering of God’s Christ in his own heart. But in the suffering, we also have the victory. For in the Lord’s death, death itself is swallowed up in victory. We can declare with Paul, Oh death, where is thy sting. It is God who has taken the sting of death away, and He has replaced it with the abundance, the overflowing, the unlimited, and the unmeasurable love of the Lord Jesus Christ. The highest Himself has brought forth the bread and the wine of love, and thanks be to God that gives us the victory.

   Chedorlaomer is gone, Tidal is gone, Arioch is gone, and why did I save the king of Shinar for last? Because he symbolizes spiritual evil, yes, the devil, Amraphel was king of the occult. The occult of Nimrod, the occult of the world, which we still have with us today both in the political realm and in the religious realm. They are working hand in hand with the devil to deceive and to overthrow the souls of men. As the clouds of darkness rolls over our sky, men fumble in the darkness for the door of faith. What better time for Melchisedec to come and meet with you with the bread and the wine of His love. As the Lord said, and I give unto them eternal life, for I have the power of an endless life. And I sit down with my friends, and we have fellowship and love with both the bread and the wine. What can I more say? I will say, Amen.
