The Destroying Priest Of Melkitsedeq -  V

Did the king of Shalem act in the same way? One might presume that he did, yet towards El Elyown. However, what appears to have been overlooked is that Melkitsedeq engaged in human sacrifice.

Lambs and goats were the norm, but human beings were sacrificed as a form of punishment and through the art of war. It was never done, though, to appease any so-called gods of nature. This distinguished Melkitsedeq from nature worshippers in surrounding countries.

Behind ‘Sacrificing’ Yitschaq

Herein lies the significance in Genesis 22 of Abraham being told to sacrifice his only son Yitschaq at Mount Moryah (Moriah). In his belief system he regarded human beings as sacrificial victims and war as a means of sacrifice too. Even today society still speaks of soldiers sacrificing their lives for king and country.

Each death here would be a reminder that El Elyown would one day be sacrificed too, just as eating the flesh of lambs and wearing garments made from wool remind one to this day of the Lamb of Eluhiym who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29,36).

Nearly fifty years ago, away from white man’s law, an indigenous Australian elder explained to the present writer what happened to lovers who were caught committing adultery. The pair were bound, put on a pile of dry wood and then burned to death. Not only did this serve as a warning to other members of the tribe, but was a form of ritual sacrifice, not unlike what El Shadday and El Elyown instructed Abraham to do with his only son Yitschaq.

Of course, that was to test his faith, made quite plain in the text. Later Yahuw’ah would give instruction for those caught in adultery or engaged in homosexual acts to be stoned to death (Leviticus 18). It was a different form of punishment, but nonetheless a ritual act. Like burning to death, stoning was regarded as ritual sacrifice.

Now according to the earlier verses in Genesis 14, when told that his relative Lot had been taken captive by the kings of Elam, Goyyim, Shinar and Ellasar, the following happened.

“14. And Abram heard that his brother was captured and he led out his trained men, born in his household, three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.

 “15. And he divided against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them as far as Chowbah, which is north of Damascus.

 “16. And he brought back all the goods and also Lot his brother along with his possessions; and he also brought back the women and the people.”

 Lot was evidently his nephew, a relative. Abram had a well trained army, born in his own household. They were highly skilled in the art of battle. In today’s language he was a warlord. Here El Elyown assisted him with Melkitsedeq serving as one of His priests.

Upon their return he, as priest, brought out bread and wine to eat and drink. Was this a once-only expression of gratitude? No. The language of that chapter suggests a close working relationship between the two. Evidently the King of Shalem often called upon the services of Abram and his 318-strong, fighting force.

He was a priest-king who got others to fight for him. It was the same with El Elyown, who is prepared to use intact armies to protect His interests and punish and destroy those who speak out against Him. He still does.

Now let the reader forget what is written in Hebrews 7, since it takes everything out of context, and then re-read Psalm 110. Its verses are translated here fairly literally by the present writer.

 1. A Psalm of David. A statement of Yahuw’ah to Adoniy (my Lord): “Sit at My right hand until I place Your enemies (as) a footstool for Your feet.”

 2. The rod of Your strength shall Yahuw’ah send out of Tsiyown (Zion): “Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”

 3. Your people will be willing in the day of Your strength. “To you in the holy splendours from the womb of the dawn is the dew of Your youth.”
