Melchizedek
King of Salem and the Most High Priest of God
(Genesis 14: 18-20)
"And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the
most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abeam of the most high God,
possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thy
enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of
all."
(Psalms 110:4)
"The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent; Thou
art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek."
(Hebrews 5:6)
"As he said also in another place, Thou art a priest
for ever after the order of Melchizedek."
(Hebrews 5:10)
"Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek."
(Hebrews 6:20)
"Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the
order of Melchizedek."
(Hebrews 7:1-8)
"For this Melchizedek, 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; abided a priest continually. Now con-
sider 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 received them, of whom it is witnessed that he lived."
But the story did not start there ..
Tehuti
he founded the Egyptian civilisation and as one of the very few of human
origin, he was considered among the Netjer. He was the scientist and the scribe of the Netjer.
Most of the Netjer, by some ones that does not know better called the Egyptian Gods came
from other planetary systems. He has told his story on the Emerald Tables of Thot the Greek
name for Tehuti.
Tehuti (Djeheuty, Thoth) is the Ancient Egyptian deity of wisdom and
knowledge, hence an appropriate patron for this enterprise. He is often
portrayed with the head of an ibis, or in the form of a baboon. In the Egyptian
stories of the gods, Tehuti often plays the part of diplomat or reconciler.
His cult centre, Khemenu (Hermopolis), had its own cosmogeny, in which
Tehuti brought forth the cosmos through the power of his voice. Tehuti was
therefore also the god of magic, because, for the Egyptians, magic required the
magician to be "true of voice". The Greeks equated him with Hermes, who
sometimes had the epithet Trismegistus (thrice great).
As scribe of the gods, Tehuti is present at the weighing of the heart, the best known scene of the
Pert em Hru (Book of Coming Forth by Day, better known as the Book of the Dead). The heart of
the deceased is balanced against the feather of Maat, the goddess of Truth and Order. Tehuti
records the verdict. Behind him sits the Ammit beast, Devourer of the Heart, ready to annihilate
the deceased should he prove unworthy. Anubis adjusts the scales, while the deceased looks on,
together with his ba (= soul, the bird with the human head). Perched on top of the scales is a tiny
baboon, also symbol of Tehuti.
Hermes Trismegistus
He also became a place among the ancient Greek Gods as Hermes Trismegistus (Greek for
"Hermes the thrice-greatest", Greek: ) or Mercurius ter Maximus in Latin,
is the syncretism of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian Thoth. In Hellenistic Egypt, the god
Hermes was given as epithet the Greek name of Thoth. He has also been identified with Enoch.
Other similar syncretized gods include Serapis and Hermanubis.
Both Thoth and Hermes were gods of writing and of magic in their respective cultures. Thus the
Greek god of interpretive communication was combined with the Egyptian god of wisdom as a
patron of astrology and alchemy. In addition, both gods were guiding souls to the afterlife. The
majority of Greeks, and later Romans, did not accept Hermes Trismegistus in the place of
Hermes. The two gods remained distinct from one another.
The Hermetic literature added to the Egyptian concerns with
conjuring spirits and animating statues that inform the oldest
texts, Hellenistic writings of Greco-Babylonian astrology and the
newly developed practice of alchemy. In a parallel tradition,
Hermetic philosophy rationalized and systematized religious cult
practices and offered the adept a method of personal ascension
from the constraints of physical being.
As a divine fountain of writing, Hermes Trismegistus was credited
with tens of thousands of writings of high standing, reputed to be
of immense antiquity. Plato's Timaeus and Critias state that in the
temple of Neith at Sais, there were secret halls containing
historical records which had been kept for 9.000 years. Clement
of Alexandria was under the impression that the Egyptians had
forty-two sacred writings by Hermes, encapsulating all the
training of Egyptian priests.
The so-called "Hermetic literature", the Hermetica, is a category of papyri containing spells and
induction procedures. In the dialogue called the Asclepius (after the Greek god of healing) the
art of imprisoning the souls of demons or of angels in statues with the help of herbs, gems and
odors, is described, such that the statue could speak and prophesy. In other papyri, there are
other recipes for constructing such images and animating them, such as when images are to be
fashioned hollow so as to enclose a magic name inscribed on gold leaf.
Hermetic revival
During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the writings
attributed to Hermes Trismegistus known as Hermetica enjoyed
great credit and were popular among alchemists. The "hermetic
tradition" therefore refers to alchemy, magic, astrology and related
subjects. The texts are usually distinguished in two categories the
"philosophical" and "technical" hermetica. The former deals mainly
with issues of philosophy, and the latter with magic, potions and
alchemy. Among other things there are spells to magically protect
objects, hence the origin of the term "Hermetically sealed".
The classical scholar Isaac Casaubon in De Rebus sacris et ecclesiaticis exercitiones XVI (1614)
showed, by the character of the Greek, the texts that were traditionally written at the dawn of
time, to be more recent: most of the "philosophical" Corpus Hermeticum can be dated to around
AD 300.
and surname throughout the generations may at least partially account for the legend of his
longevity, especially as it is believed that many of his children pursued careers as priests in the
religion he started.
translation of the Greek original text, this specific edition dates to the seventh century A. D.,
although it is based on a much older Jewish text of the first century. A.D. While similar in some
ways to the first book of Enoch and perhaps using it as a source, the Slavonic Enoch details
Enoch's journey through the seven heavens, the life of Enoch's successors, especially
Methuselah, and then gives a forecast of the Great Flood that encompassed the world in later
generations. There are descriptions of angels residing in the heavens.
3 ENOCH
Also called the Hebrew Apocalypse of Enoch, this is a Jewish writing dating probably to the
second century A.D. It was allegedly written by the noted Rabbi Ishmael, a brilliant scholar of
Palestine during the early second century A.D. He reputes to recount his journey to heaven,
where he beheld the very throne of God, along with the hosts of angels. His information was
granted to him by the archangel Metatron, the onetime patriarch Enoch. This work remains
perhaps the single greatest compendium of angelic lore, including a comprehensive assemblage
of angels, archangels, and holy creatures, such as the watchers and holy ones.
Melchizedek
Melchizedek -
Melchizedek or Malki-tzdek (" ) My king is Zedek", sometimes written Malchizedek,
Melchisedec, Melchisedech, Melchisedek or Melkisedek, is a character in the Hebrew Bible who
appeared in Genesis to the patriarch Abraham. He is called "king of Salem" (believed to be
ancient Jerusalem) and "priest of the most high God" in Genesis 14:18.
In Rabbinic interpretation
In the Midrash, the Rabbis identified Melchizedek with Shem son of Noah. (E.g., B. Talmud
Nedarim 32b; Genesis Rabbah 46:7; Genesis Rabbah 56:10; Leviticus Rabbah 25:6; Numbers
Rabbah 4:8.) Rabbi Isaac the Babylonian said that Melchizedek was born circumcised. (Genesis
Rabbah 43:6.) Melchizedek called Jerusalem Salem. (Genesis Rabbah 56:10.) The Rabbis said
that Melchizedek instructed Abraham in the Torah. (Genesis Rabbah 43:6.) Rabbi Eleazar said
that Melchizedeks school was one of three places where the Holy Spirit manifested itself. (B.
Talmud Makkot 23b.) The Rabbis taught that Melchizedek acted as a priest and handed down
Adams robes to Abraham. (Numbers Rabbah 4:8.) Rabbi Zechariah said on Rabbi Ishmaels
authority that God intended to bring forth the priesthood through Melchizedeks descendents,
but because Melchizedek blessed Abraham before he blessed God (in Gen. 14:19-20), God
brought the priesthood forth from Abrahams descendents. (B. Talmud Nedarim 32b; see also
Leviticus Rabbah 25:6 (crediting Rabbi Ishamel).)
Rabbi Judah said in Rabbi Nehorai's name that Melchizedeks blessing yielded prosperity for
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. (Genesis Rabbah 43:8.) Ephraim Miksha'ah the disciple of Rabbi
Meir said in the latter's name that Tamar descended from Melchizedek. (Genesis Rabbah 85:10.)
Rabbi Hana bar Bizna citing Rabbi Simeon Hasida identified Melchizedek as one of the four
craftsmen of whom Zechariah wrote in Zechariah 2:3. (B. Talmud Sukkah 52b; see also Song of
Songs Rabbah 2:33 (crediting Rabbi Berekiah in the name of Rabbi Isaac).) The Talmud teaches
that David wrote the Book of Psalms, including in it the work of the elders, including
Melchizedek (in Psalm 110). (B. Talmud Baba Batra 14b-15a.)
The Zohar finds in Melchizedek king of Salem a reference to the King Who rules with
complete sovereignty, or according to another explanation, that Melchizedek alludes to the
lower world and king of Salem to the upper world. (Zohar, Bereshit, 1:86b-87a:)
Hebrews 7:3 in the New Testament refers to Melchizedek as a king "without father or mother or
genealogy", a reference which some Christians take as a type of Christ. Since Christ has no
beginning and no end, He has no spiritual father and mother, hence no godly genealogy either.
Some Christians believe Jesus came to Earth at various times before the New Testament,
including once as Melchizedek himself.Others still maintain that Melchizedek is actually Saint
Michael: Michael is designated in the Book of Enoch, as "the prince of Israel." He is the angel of
forbearance and mercy (Enoch, xl:3) who taught Enoch the mysteries of clemency and justice
(lxxi:2). In the book of Jubilees (i:27 and ii:1), the angel who is said to have instructed Moses on
Mount Sinai and to have delivered to him the tables of the Law is most probably Michael.Still
others believe that Michael is Jesus.
