Hebrews 7:1-8, "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; 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; Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth."
There are a few things to look at here regarding who Melchisedec is.
1. Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God 2. Abraham gave a tenth part of all 3. first being by interpretation King of righteousness 4. also King of Salem 5. King of peace 6. Without father 7. without mother 8. without descent 9. having neither beginning of days, nor end of life 10. like unto the Son of God 11. abideth a priest continually 12. Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils 13. without all contradiction 14. he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth |
The Bible records Melchisedec to be the King of righteousness, King of peace, Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, like unto the Son of God, abideth a priest continually, without all contradiction, he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth and because of this Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. Only God can fill these High titles. Melchisedec, the Holy Ghost is placed with and compared to Christ our God. One important thing we need to understand here is that KING is Capitalized each time for Melchisedec. When you see the title king in the "king James Bible," you will see that unless it is referring to God, the title king is NOT capitalized. Another important thing to see here is that Melchisedec is a priest continually who had neither beginning of days, nor end of life. He liveth and abideth forever. If our Lord and Saviour who is God can come to earth, walk in the flesh then why can't the beautiful Holy Spirit who also descended to earth in the form of a Dove do this too? Our three Most Highest Powers in Heaven (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) can do anything except evil because they are Righteous, Love, full of Peace and all Goodness that we can't even comprehend.
Creation week...
Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.” The Hebrew translation of God is “Elohiym”, which if you check the Strong’s Exhaustive Hebrew Concordance, word #430, you will find this to be true and it is Plural for more than One God. see our trinity or Godhead page to better understand this subject.
H430; אלהים; 'elohiym; el-o-heem'; Plural of H433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative: - angels, X exceeding, God (gods) (-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty.
“In the beginning, Gods" (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit) "created the heaven and the earth." How were the Heaven and earth created? “Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.” Psalms 104:30. |
The earth is a lesson book for us; that through this lesson book, we may learn of God. Who will Guide us into all truths? Who flashes conviction into the mind?
John 16:13, "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come."
The Office of the Holy Ghost...
Romans 9:1, "I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost." John 16:8-11, "And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged." John 14:26, "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 16:13, "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come." |
