Chapter 1 - King and High Priest - The TRUTH: On The Faith of Abraham and The Promise - TruthBearer.Org -- Bringing Christian Polygamy to the Churches!

Greetings in the love of the Lord Christ Jesus, the high priest of the most high God, and king of righteousness and peace, the very seed of faithful father Abraham, our high "priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec" (Hebrews 7:17b.), and not after the Levites and carnal commandments of meat and drink. "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." (Romans 14:17.).

"For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life." (Hebrews 7:14-16.)

And where had the original Melchizedek King of Salem appeared? In Genesis 14:18-20, Abraham had been blessed of such a king and high "priest of the most high God" (Genesis 14:18b), Melchizedek King of Salem, "first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace". (Hebrews 7:2b-e.)

What did this king and high priest of the most high God say unto Abraham? He said, "Blessed be Abram of the most high God". (Genesis 14:19c.) For thus do we see that "without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better." (Hebrews 7:7.) Yes, he blessed Abraham, and then Melchizedek said, "blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand." (Genesis 14:20a-b.) As well, this king and high priest of the most high God "brought forth bread and wine" (Genesis 14:18[a]). (Know you not what that means? Behold, the mystery!) And he "received tithes of Abraham." (Hebrews 7:6[a].)

And we also know that "David himself said by the Holy Ghost" in him (Mark 12:36a), the prophecy of Psalm 110, wherein the Spirit, "he testifieth" (Hebrews 7:17[a]), "The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. ...The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek." (Psalm 110:1,4.)

And indeed, the Lord, Jesus Christ, "after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified." (Hebrews 10:12b-14.)

"For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren". (Hebrews 2:11.)

"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." (Hebrews 2:14-15.) "Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren ((by being a partaker also of flesh and blood)), that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest (("for ever after the order of Melchizedek" King of Salem, King of Righteousness King of Peace --<Psalm 110:4c-->)) in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people." (Hebrews 2:17.)

"For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham." (Hebrews 2:16.)
