Chapter 1

An introduction and brief history of Melchizedek.


1

Melchizedek was a man of faith who wrought righteousness;

2

And when he was but a child, he feared Ha’Elohim, and stopped the mouths of lions, and quenched the violence of fire.

3

And thus, having been approved of YHVH, he was ordained Kohen Gadol after the order of the covenant which YHVH made with Enoch,

4

It being after the order of the Son of God, which order came not by man, nor the will of man, neither by father nor mother, neither by beginning of days nor end of years, but of YHVH Elohim.

5

And it was delivered unto men by the calling of the voice of Ruach Elohim, according to His own will, unto as many as believed on HaShem (The Name);

6

For YHVH, having sworn unto Enoch and unto his seed with an oath by Himself that everyone being ordained after this order and calling should have power, by faith, to break mountains,

7

To divide the seas, to dry up waters, to turn them out of their course,

8

To put at defiance the armies of nations, to divide the earth, to break every band,

9

To stand in the presence of YHVH, to do all things according to His will, according to His command, and to subdue principalities and powers;

10

And this by the will of the Son of God which was from before the foundation of the world.

11

And men and women having this faith, coming up unto this order of God, were translated and taken up into heaven.

12

¶ And now, Melchizedek was a High Priest of this order; therefore, he obtained peace in Salem and was called the king of peace.

13

And his people wrought righteousness, and obtained heaven, and sought for the city of Enoch which Elohim had before taken, separating it from the earth, having reserved it unto the latter days, or the end of the world.

14

And YHVH hath said, and sworn with an oath: That the heavens and the earth should come together, and the sons of Elohim should be tried so as by fire.

15

¶ And this Melchizedek, having thus established righteousness, was called the king of heaven by his people, or, in other words, the king of peace;

16

Him who lifted up his voice, and blessed Abram, being the High Priest and the keeper of the storehouse of El Elyon;

17

Him whom El Elyon had appointed to receive tithes for the poor.

18

Wherefore, even Abram, who was born again unto YHVH Elohim as Abraham, the father of all of covenant peoples of YHVH, paid unto him tithes of all that he had, of all the riches which he possessed, which Ha Elohim had given him more than that which he did need.

19

And because of his humility, YHVH blessed Abram and gave unto him riches, and honor, and lands for an everlasting possession, according to the covenant which he had made and according to the blessing wherewith Melchizedek had blessed him.

20

¶ And Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine; and he broke bread and blessed it; and he blessed the wine, he being the great High Priest of the most high God.

21

And he gave to Abram, after he blessed him, saying: Blessed Abram, thou art a man of the most high of Elohim, possessor of heaven and of earth;

22

And blessed is the name of the most high Elohim, which hath delivered thine enemies into thine hand.

23

¶ And Melchizedek, the king of Salem, lifted up his voice and blessed Abram with secret wisdoms, and taught him to guard them until they come forth unto the world, by the will of God, at the last days.
