Parashah - Miketz B’re’shiyt 41:1-44:17
Melchizedek
Update
Based on Matthew Nolan’s teaching of
Melchizedek.
Melchizedek
means = my king is righteous or Righteous King
Let’s
start with the Christian name for Messiah: Jesus
Christ. Some
people actually think that Christ is His last name. Christ means, “any anointed one.” The
letter J wasn’t invented until 1530, so His
name could not have been Jesus.
Jesus Christ cannot be his name. Add this to the consideration of the 3rd Commandment in Shemot
(Exodus) 20:7 “You
shall not bring the Name of YHUH your Alohim to vain emptiness …” This
might be a problem!
D’barim (Deut) 29:29 p 161
“The
secret things belong to YHUH our Alohim: but those things that are revealed to
us and to our children le-olam-va-ed, that we may do all the words of this Torah.”
Mishle (Prov) 25:2 p 562
“It is
the tifereth of Alohim to conceal a matter:
but the honor of melechim is to search out a matter.”
Matthew
Nolan said – (Paraphrased)
YHUH
hides mysteries because people don’t deserve them unless they search out and do the
work!
So here
is the picture:
In the
middle is THE Narrow Road
On the
one side is Rabbinic Law
On the
other side is a lawless ditch…
Where
are we walking?
In Luke 24: 13-34 p 752 The road to
Amma-Us story….
Two of
them went to Amma-Us… talking about all that had just happened… and Yahusha
shows up only they don’t know it is Him… and they give Yahusha the briefing…
“The
Messiah is DEAD… they stole his body…”
-It seems like they were abandoning
their faith is Messiah.
What are
we supposed to do to be saved?
We’ve
heard it is the “sinner’s prayer”… is that right?
(Yes I
know Romans 10:9 – “That if you shall confess with your mouth the Master
Yahusha, and shall believe in your lev that YHUH has raised Him from the dead,
you shall be saved.”)
And what
are we supposed to do when life is hard?
Mattityahu 6:33 p 682
“So you
seek first the malchut (Kingdom) of
YHUH, and His tzedakah (righteousness):
and all these things shall be added to you.”
The KEY
is the Righteous Kingdom = Malchut tzedakah.
Romiyah (Romans) 10:2 p 846
“for I
bear them record that they have a zeal for YHUH, but not according to da’at
(knowledge).”
Matthew
makes the point here that this scripture is talking about a zeal not according
to knowledge… they were ignorant of righteous Melchizedek calling of the
priesthood…
They established their own plan in
the culture… the religious culture taking pseudo priests and combining it with
the popular culture… and you get a “culture club.”
This is
part of why we are to “Guard our hearts.”
But we
are supposed to FIRST seek the Malchut tzedakah – Kingdom of Righteousness.
Romiyah 10:4 p 846
“For Moshiach
is the actual goal of the Torah for an eternal Tzadik standing to everyone that
believes.”
-Messiah
is the goal of Torah and eternal righteousness for all who follow/be committed
to.
If we
read Ivrim (Hebrews) 6-7… we start to understand this even better!
So why
is it that it is so easy to accept the offer on the table that is not YHUH’s?
Why is
it we have all just followed what Matthew calls “the veneer” and not the
tzedakah?
He goes
on to say that “Tzadok is a contrite
Hebrew word that is attached to real people.”
But why
do people accept the offer from hasatan and not the Malchut Tzedakah?
“If you
track malchut Tzadik back … you will get to YHUH.
If you
track “Christ” back … you will get to one of the Greek gods.
If you
track “J” back – you get to an invention in 1530.”
But the
Christians say – “we are under grace.”
Well the
Torah does say that “Noah found grace in YHUH’s sight.” (B’re’shiyt 6:8) So the
question becomes, do we understand what grace means?
Grace is
the Hebrew word chen or chesed.
Matthew
said…
The word grace actually appears 3 times more in the Tanakh than in the Brit Chadasha, it didn’t start at Pentecost.
Grace is
not a license to sin and not obey the law.
Grace actually means = an empowerment to live holy and righteous in a sick and
twisted world!
Matthew
said, “The
Christian church is not under YHUH’s grace. They are under His mercy – the withholding of righteous judgment…If they
were under grace – they’d be keeping the law!”
Ivrim (Heb) 10:26 p 820
“For if
we sin willfully after that we have received the da’at of the emet, there
remains no more sacrifice for sins.”
Ivrim 5:13 p 816
“For
everyone that uses milk is unskilled in the Word of tzedakah: for he is a
baby.”
Where
did Melchizedek come from?
Where do
we see Yahusha walking in this?
B’re’shiyt 14:18 p 17
“And
Malki-Tzedek melech of Salem brought out lechem and wine: and he was the kohen of Al-Alyon.”
Tehillim (Psalms) 110 p 536
Ivrim (Heb) 5,6,7 p 815
That’s it.. right? Wrong…
But that
is where it is written out…
In about
2008 I was awakened with a strong
voice that said…
“You are climbing the mountain of Melchizedek.”
“You are climbing the mountain of Melchizedek.”
And I
had no idea what He meant! I started to
study…
And I
have a much better idea now than I did when that happened!
Praise Yah!
Praise Yah!
So let’s
consider
B’re’shiyt 14 p 17
There
was a war of kings… we know now it was a war against giants.
And in
the end… Abram takes bread and wine from the Melchizedek and he gives a tithe –
a 1/10th….
What was
going on here?
One of
the kings is Chedarloamer – and he was actually a descendant of Shem.
So Abram
had just slaughtered a descendent of Shem.
Gen
10:22 – Chedarloamer was son of Eylam
Gen
10:22 Eylam was a descendant of Shem.
And Abram
was a descendant of Shem through Arphaxad.
So this
was a family feud… and to bring shalom the
Melchizedek came to negotiate a peace treaty!
(This is
exactly what Messiah comes to do…He will
come to bring peace to a family feud …after a great war between kingdoms and
nations. And be king of the Tribes and the nations. The Prince of Peace!)
This is
what the war was about…
Listen
closely…
Tehillim 2:1-4 p 497
The word
“bands” = “break the traditions of the fathers – the Melchizedek….
“Bands”
= mosar in Hebrew = “to break the traditions of the Melchizedek” in context.
= “that
which has been intertwined and passed down in a line / a sequence or an
ordering through the generations.”
This is
what the war with the giants was about in Genesis 14!
It was a war against the priesthood!
It was a war against the priesthood!
Today there is still a war against the Melchizedek Priesthood!
Some
people want to live pagan and lawless.
And some
people want Levitical law/customs.
Right
after Abram gave his tithe offering… and made shalom – he was given a promise
of KINGSHIP (children) and LAND in Genesis 15!!
Let’s
consider
Tehillim 110 p 536
110:5
King
James – which is from the Masoretic text (remember the mazorites don’t like
Yahusha!) says: - YHUH at right hand.
But Septuagint says - YHUH at your right hand.
Who sits
on the right hand of YHUH? Yahusha.
So is
Yahusha, YHUH?
“YHUH is
Alohim and he tore out his bosom and his bosom became flesh and walked among men
and somehow that became a trinity!”
D’barim
6:4 (Sh’ma)
“YHUH is echad/one – a plural one…
The
Greeks believed in trinity and this term morphed into Christianity.
… “and
this is how they assimilate all their Greek gods into plural monotheism = the
faith that was delivered to the kodoshim.”
The war
between Yitzchak and Ishmael is because Ishmael didn’t receive Melchizedek.
Who is
the Melchizedek line?
Genesis
5 p 12
1 Adam
2 Shem
3 Enosh
4 Kenan
5
Mahalal
6 Yared
7
Methushelach
Not (Enoch) Chanoch – because he was taken up
Not
Lamech – he died before Methuselach
8 Noah
9 Shem
10 Eber
11
Yitzchak
12 Yakob
13 maybe ?
LEVI –
Book of Law
Later –
King Solomon declared himself a righteous king… because he wanted to return to
the Melchizedek.
His
father, King David, had already seen the need for the tzadokites - the sons of Tzadok …
Hebrews
tells us we can be righteous priests through Yahusha with prayers of
supplication and crying tears to learn…
Who were
the Essenes?
We used
to understand that they were the ones who lived in Kumron.
Now
Matthew is teaching something new..
The
believers in Kumron – were not Essenes… they were tzadokites!
Tzadokites
in Kumron
We know the Dead Sea Scrolls were
discovered in Kumron in 1947
By a
Bedowin heardsman.
In manuscript 11 Q 13 it is all
about the coming of Melchizedek!
Matthew
taught
“To the
Kumron sect of Tzadokites - the
Melchizedek was the ever present hope and their immanent reality.”
Melchizedek
is our immanent reality!
Tzadokites
believed that Melchizedek and Moshiach were interconnected.
Except –
The Melchizedek would appear and he would be an exalted divine being….
… So
much so that in modern manuscripts where we find YHUH – in the Dead Sea Scrolls
– we find Melchizedek.
Yeshayahu
(Isaiah) 61:2 is an example.
The
Mazorite scribes hid this!
But from
the reign of King David, the Tzadokites
appear as priests!
-Priests
with a problem – they had no righteous
covenant to attach their righteous priesthood to.
Tzadokites
were in the temple leading the priesthood until Antiochus came in with the Maccabees and the Hasmonean dynasty.
At that
point – the Tzadokites were thrown out of the Temple.
They
took nothing with them but the Holy Torah Scrolls.
… which
is why so many were found in Kumron!
These
people were he zealots – and they knew the instructions!
They
were in Kumron waiting for the Melchizedek to redeem them and they understood
the Melchizedek!
-
It
was YHUH who sat at the right hand of YHUH!
Later,
King Josiah removed all traces of anything non-Levitical from the Temple.
The
Tzadokites in Kumron at the time of Yahusha belived: the
Malki-Tzedek – the anointed one connected to Messiah was expecting to come to
deliver a divine communication and then He’d have to die/be cut off – as it is
written in Daniel 9:26.
Then
there is the Copper Scroll found in
1952 – in Cave 3 in Kumron.
John
Allegro – oversaw the cutting of this into 23 strips from 1955- 1956… and he
translated them!
He
discovered the Tzadokites were the very matrix of Christianity.
He
suggested – there were so many correspondences between scroll texts and the
Brit Chadasha and words, values, phrases, beliefs and practices… even a
messianic leadership – a teacher of Righteousness who’d be persecuted ,
possibly crucified and then resurrected!
Allegro
discovered this –
Imagine
what Israel would do with this!
Well,
they did it – it was squashed (destroyed?)
Because – this copper scroll was a game changer!
This
group in Kumron that served YHUH were the tzadokites…
They were thrown out of the temple at the time of the Hazmonian
dynasty and their texts bare up that they believed YHUH sat on the right hand
of YHUH.
They believed that he was the Melchizedek - the righteous preacher, who would come in a line of successors that would have to
come, die, possibly through crucifixion, and then deliver a message of
righteousness and then bring in a priesthood!
This is
why they were always having ritual immersion.
– in preparation for war about to happen.
They
would from time to time go up to Jerusalem as Zealots, go up to Jerusalem in
the raids of Zealotry among Romans and many of them were in the Flock of
Yahusha….
Yochanan
(John) the Immerser (Baptist) - Because
in Yahusha’s missing yeas – He was down in Kumron being taught.
Yochanan
was in charge of the mikvah pools down in Kumron and he used the Jordan as
well.
Mattityahu
1-2 establishes that Yahusha is a King.
But we
need to understand that
The
mantle of priesthood is always handed down through ritual immersion/ mikvah/baptism.
Plus we
need to know that the Jordan River is a geographic point of change.
What
does it say in Mattityahu 3:13 – “to fulfill all righteousness.”
Malchizedek
gets passed on through mikvah/baptism.
Uayiqra (Lev) 5:1 p 83 – The trespass oath
Mattityahu 26:63 p 703
He had
to say…
And when
he did Kaiphus tore his robes… and disqualified himself from the priest hood
and he would have to die.
Yochanan 19:23 p 774
Who was
the only priest left to officiate over the Pesach offering??
Yahusha!
Luke 7:28 p 733 Is about the transference of priesthood
“For I
say to you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater navi than
Yochanan ha Matbeel: but he that is
lease in the malchut of YHUH is greater than him.
The
least of the Melchizedek are greater than the prophet from Levi!
Picture:
Narrow
road in the middle
Those
who are into Rabbinical law – Book of Law that passed away on one side
And
those who choose to be pagan and lawless.
The word
says Avraham was perfect in YHUH’s site and yet he knew nothing of Leviticus
sacrificial law!
Yakob
the Tzadok (James the righteous one) -
wrote about returning to “LAW” meaning the book of Covenant..
Salvation
comes through those with a brit malah heart (circumcised heart) and
circumstances of heart … my blood covered
with YHUH’s blood
Praise
be YHUH….
Where
will we walk? The narrow road between
the Rabbinical law and the ditch of pagan lawlessness…
The
Righteous King – Melchizedek leads us!
Sh’ma
Yisra’el
