JESUS AS THE BODY OF MELCHIZEDEK - Part 2 of 2

   In the last few months, I have written about the “son of man” (ben ‘adam; Hebrew) [i] and the “Son of God” (bar ‘elahh; Aramaic) [ii]Jesus was both the Son of Man (yhios anthropos) and the Son of God (yhios theos,  [iii] both from the Greek. [iv]  For some reason ben ‘elohym (Son of God) is not in the Hebrew anywhere in Scripture. What would be that reason? The language that Jesus spoke was Aramaic, not Hebrew. He did speak Greek so yhios anthropos in in the New Testament.

  Yhios means one begotten by a father and born of a mother” (Strong’s Dictionary). Jesus was begotten of The Father (Yahweh) [v]and born of the woman, Mary. [vi] “Begotten” is transliterated from the Greek word, “monogenes,” meaning one (or the single) gene. Ironically, when the archeologist, Ron Wyatt, alleged that he had the blood from the Ark of the Covenant tested by experts in Jerusalem,  it was monogenetic on the paternal side. [1] The blood of “The Messiah” had all the mitochondrial DNA from the mother’s side, but only the Y component of DNA from His Father. Both men and women can receive DNA from their mother, so Jesus would have all the mtDNA from His mother.

  On the other hand, only males have the DNA of their father, and in the case of the blood from the alleged Ark of the Covenant, there were not 23 chromosomes but only genotype. Most genetic types are polygenetic (of many genes.) Males are of only monogenetic types, and males produce monogenes (Wikipedia; “genes”).

  The point is that Jesus was the Son of Man (‘adam) in that he had was polygenetic from Mary but only monogenetic from His Father Yahweh. Why would only Mary’s genotype be presented in Scripture? Because Jesus has one Monotype and that was from Father God.

  But if from Mary, why was Jesus “the Son of Man?” He was the Son, not of Adam, but ‘adam. Mary had the mitochondrial DNA of Eve who scripture says was “the mother of all living.” (Gen 3:20). Her kind was the same as Adam’s; she too was ‘adam. [vii]

  So, when scripture calls Jesus, “Son of Man” that is the “Son of Eve” who was the vessel for the seed of man, thus X-DNA plus Y-DNA yields XY-DNA.

  However, on the paternal side, Jesus would be YY, if my hypotheses about the DNA of heavenly beings is correct. [2] Jesus would have the X component of DNA from Mary and the YY component from Yahweh. What would the man, Adam, have has since he was without an earthly father? YY-DNA. He would have no paternal DNA. Ironically (sic), or by God’s Plan, glorified humans shall have no XX-type of DNA because regeneration is made in the Image of God as was Adam. God will provide the new flesh, and it shall be YY-DNA. Full regeneration (glorification) is likely without the XX-DNA of the wife-man. “Wife” is “adulteress” in scripture. (Strong’s Dictionary).

  Even women in heaven shall not “couple” [viii] because they too will be adami as in the Garden, females of ‘adam kind.

  Of course, although the genetics of God is hypotheses, this commentary, as you have seen, is based on Holy Scripture. On a personal level, DNA is of paramount importance, and that is why the writer would refuse the injection of mRNA into his veins. God provides natural immunity, and my dependence is on God, but neither Adam’s foolish kind nor acids put into my bloodstream can do what God would naturally do!

  But what has all this to do with Melchizedek?

¹ For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; ² 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; ³ Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. ⁴ Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. (Heb 7:1-4)

  First off, Melchisedec (Greek) is “Basileus Salem.” Not king of the nation of “Salem” nor even Jerusalem, but “Lord of Peace” (ibid). Is He the “LORD GOD” or another lord? Test that: He is “Basileus Dikaiosyne,” or “LORD OF VIRTUE” (aka LORD OF GOODNESS). But only God IS Good [ix] and Jesus lost “virtue,” so only He was good. [x] The obvious conclusion is that God appeared in the Flesh when He sent His Son to bless (eulogeo) Abraham — to eulogize… or make an honorable name for him. Hence, the man, “Abram” received the theophoric name, “Abraham” as the “father of all the living.” His DNA was made of equal par as Eve’s as “the mother of all living.”

  No longer would mankind be the seed of sinful Adam and Eve, but of “father Abraham” and Sarai, the virgin woman from whom Isaac would have no DNA. “Genesis” had commenced again when Melchizedek blessed Abraham. Even Mary was of the seed of Isaac, who had no mitochondrial DNA at all!

  Why are Israelites hated so much? Because their seed was chosen over all other seed. Because they have the DNA of God. They are His biological children, and Gentiles merely God’s adopted sons and daughters through the Covenants. [xi]

  Melchizedek, as pre-incarnate Jesus, gave Abraham brotherly love. Abram, just as Noah long before, found grace when “Jesus” in the form of Melchizedek blessed him.

  But how can that be when Jesus had not yet been born? Jesus said, “The Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me.” [xii] Mary bore God’s Son in the sense that she carried (beared) him for nine months. However, God “borne witness” of Jesus. The Father transported Jesus to Mary’s womb instantly one day. Jesus was truly without biological father nor mother. Likewise, for Melchizedek: “Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God.”

  Adam was the Image of God, but that “Image” was toppled when he sinned, just as the idol, Dagon, was toppled. [xiii] Then Abel was made in the Image of God when God may have come down on theretofore biologically “virgin” Eve. [3] Abel was called what? “Righteous Abel.” [xiv]  He was called “Dikaios Abel” or “Virtuous Transition” (ibid).  Hence, Virtuous Mechizedek would be the transition of God from ‘adam just as Abel was a transition of God’s second son from Himself. Scripture implies that Abel was “of God” just as Cain was “of the Wicked One.”

  Also implied by scripture is that Abel was the Son of Man (through Eve, the female of that kind) and from the Virtue flowing out of God. Likewise, Melchizedek may have been born (carried) by some uncertain woman, but he was borne (transported) to Abraham in Canaan’s land from the Place of Peace in Heaven!

  Paul said of Melchizedek “how great (pelikos) this man was.” That Melchizedek was dignified, and I assert that was in a divine sense! So dignified that there was an exchange: Melchizedek blessed Abraham and Abraham tithed, not paid taxes, to Him; to wit: “(Him) to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness.” Not king of Canaan or even Jerusalem, but “King of Righteousness.”

  Of course, “righteousness” is not only right spiritually and morally, but Melchizedek was the rightful heir of Lord God. (Remember that the story is about the distribution of the forthcoming inheritance from the Father.)

  Abraham gave Melchizedek His due upfront. It was not a gift, but a distribution to God’s other Son even before the inheritance was probated. Melchizedek would come again as the Priest who would probate the Will of God when God suffered death.

  It was not just the Flesh of God on the Cross. God never died, but His three “Substances” (homeostasis) were on the Cross. The Father, the Son thought, had forsaken Him, but God never leaves nor forsakes. The Father suffered with the Son, and so did the Holy Spirit of God because at the immediacy of death, Jesus gave up the Ghost. [xv]

  When the Covenant was written, it was a special occasion. First off, there was a war going on between the squatters on that land, and its rightful heirs — Abraham and his seed. Abram did not fight for the land because it had already been entrusted to him by God. He fought for the very life of Lot to save his spiritual “brother.” God saw that Abram loved others more than things, and consequentially, Abram got the “things” as well, but only after he shared the profits with the Father.

  Just as on the Cross where the Will of God was probated, God in three Substances was there when the Will was entered into “Court” records. The Supreme Judge came to judge the rightful heir right after He had exposed the hatred and violence of those who presumed to own the land and be king over it. It would be neither Lagamar nor Chadorlaomer, or to this day, we would all be pagans, or even Muslims!

  God served Abram with His hand. Abram drank the “Body” and “Blood” of the Messiah. Melchizedek did what Jesus would do two-thousand years later — He served others. Just as Paul wrote, Jesus was a priest on the order of Melchizedek. How did that differ from the Levitical and Aaronic priesthoods?

  Before the time of Jesus, the High Priests were from the line of Zadoc, the priest who descended from Aaron. Afterwards, the High Priest could be of any lineage. The High Priest at the time of Jesus was Joseph ben Caiaphas. He had been appointed, according to Josephus, by the Roman procurator Valerius Gratus after the former High Priest has been deposed. Thus, Caiaphas was a High Priest in name only since he was appointed by Rome. His father-in-law was Annas, who had been High Priest before Caiaphas’s predecessor. He was the real influencer. So here we have it: Annas, likely a Priest in the order of Aaron through Zadoc, and Caiaphas, an interloper much like Chadorlaomer way back then!

  Jesus was a priest on the order of Melchizedek, who reigned forever, and unlike Annas whose term would end, and unlike Caiaphas who was not an heir to that position. In 70 AD the Romans would destroy the Temple and there would be no need for a High Priest, let alone two. Melchizedek came for that reason. Jesus is the High Priest and Supreme Judge of Christians, and there is no need for neither a false priest nor one who inherited that priesthood. After the Temple was destroyed, people became the Temple in the absence of the Body of Jesus.

  Perhaps when Jesus asked the Father to pass the cup from Him, He was humble. Rightfully, the High Priest would have made the sacrifice as they always had before! The High Priest, either of them, were unworthy. Only the “Cup” of Jesus was clean enough to drink from! That is the cup that Melchizedek passed to Abram before there were High Priests. Melchizedek had always been the High Priest; it is just that He remained unseen much of the time. He revealed Himself to Noah as the Bow in the sky. Next time, it would be the Lofty Priest from heavenly places — the Place of Peace in Heaven.

  What am I saying? That God translated Himself from heaven to earth. He changed Substances, not locations or placenames. Before His Substance was seen by faith as the Bow in the sky. This time, Abram saw the “Face of God” with Flesh, and in another Image of Jesus. He was transfigured, “like unto the Son of God; (and) abideth a priest continually.” Melchisedek remains the Priest of the Most High God to this day; for He is Jesus!

  Is that not heretical in that, “It shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2:21)?  Well, that is true, regardless, for Melchizedek is “my King Sedek” (Britannica). Jesus is, Adoni-zedek, “Mister Righteous.” (Abarim Publications). That would be Jesus, the only “Mister Righteous!” Pilate declared Jesus to be innocent of all charges and those went from drunk, to crazy, to traitor, to Satanic, and the craziest thought of all… that He IS God in the Flesh.

  The only charge of which Jesus was “guilty” is that He Is God. All the while, Satan was hung in another tree in the Potter’s Field of Gehenna, but Pilate believed that Jesus Is God! That was the accusation, was it not, but Pilate said, “Behold, I, having examined Him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him” (Luke 23:14).

  That Jesus is God remains so preposterous that most deny Him. Even Peter must have thought that preposterous because he had denied Him as well. Pilate, on the other hand, believed that Jesus was innocent on all accounts, even that He Is God!

  That Melchizedek was God would be preposterous as well. Chadorlaomer worshipped the chief goddess, Lagomar, although she was unseen. And here we have Melchizedek, who showed Himself, and only Abram praised Him. The Invisible God had showed Himself, but still, Abraham’s seed would not follow Him wherever they would go… except to the Cross to die. That would be a reversal of the Spirit of God showing Himself as a Man.

  So, you think that is preposterous? Well, even Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar saw Melchizedek and he believed. [xvi] Then Jacob wrestled with the same Man and won the match, of course by the grace of the Man. Jacob wrestled with Melchizedek who served Israel (Jacob) grace. In all instances, the Son of Man was The King of Righteousness! And on top of that, Melchizedek is “the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End” [xvii] in that He IS, “Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God.”

  No, Melchizedek was not God’s Name. Jesus is His Name! “Melchizedek” is the Title of Jesus to which He is entitled! Just as “Adam” was not the first man’s name, but his kind, Melchizedek is not the Name of God, but His Kind, and that would be “Righteous.”

  What does God want for us? To be “His Kind.” Like the Most High Priest, Melchizedek, “King of Rightousness,” Christians are ordained to be “Royal Priests.” [xviii] on the order of Melchizedek! We are to be like Jesus… in the very Image of Him!

JESUS AS THE BODY OF MELCHIZEDEK - Part 1 of 2

   After God made the Covenant with Abram, all “hell” broke out in the Promised Land. Holy land was defiled by the kings of many cities. “They” took Lot, Abram’s nephew, who by that time resided in Sodom. “They” are an alliance of pagan nations that followed Chedorlaomer the king of Elam. That king of kings was “the servant of Lagamar, a high goddess of the Elamites (Wikipedia; “Chedorlaomer”). She would have been “goddess of gods” in the Elamite pantheon.

  Just who were the Elamites? Elam was the eldest son of Shem.  [i]  By that time Elamites had settled the Indus River Valley, and their language was perhaps Dravidian, according to linguists. If that is true, it is likely that Elamites came from the area now in and around Khuzestan Province of Iran. (See figure #1).

 

Figure 1: Elam Map – Wikipedia

  With that background, the “King of kings” came from the East, as kings would do so much later to honor Jesus. However, this “King” would come to dishonor the God of Abram!

  The question is: Was Jesus there to be diminished? Did the king of kings from the East come to show Jesus just who is king of the Jews (Shemites/Semites)?  Was this a battle between spiritual forces — Lagamar against Melchizedek to be the god of Abram and Lot? The name “Lagamar” means “no mercy” (Behind the Name).  

  In ancient times, wars were for two reasons: (1) to demonstrate which king had more power, and (2) to show which god was mightier. As such, Lagamar, through Chedorlaomer would represent unmerciful Satan and Melchizedek, representing the Merciful God, who had grace on Abram in his battle with Chedorlaomer and cohorts.

  Lagamar would be goddess in this war and Melchizedek, the God of Peace. Now for the key verses: 

¹⁸And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. ¹⁹ And he blessed him, and said, “Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: ²⁰ And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.” ²¹ And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, “Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.” ²² And Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, ²³ That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich…” (Gen 14:18:23) 

  Many theologians suggest that Melchizedek is pre-incarnate “Jesus” because he was King of Salem (King of Peace). Others say that he was a mere priest. Sacred literature, depending on the source, lists different lineages. Indeed, Melchizedek seems to be without known parents!

  Let us examine just who is this “man:” From the key verses, he said, “Blessed be Abram.” Melchizedek blessed Abram. Theologians call blessings “beatitudes.” Jesus blessed “the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Mat 5:3).

  Melchizedek blessed Abram, “possessor of heaven and earth.” Obviously losing his brother would make Abram “poor in spirit.”

  Jesus said, “Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted” (Mat 5:4). Melchizedek showed up after the battle to do what? Comfort Abram. He served Abram bread and wine, then blessed him!

  Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth” (Mat 5:5). Guess what God had just done? He had made the Covenant to deed the most precious earth anywhere to Abram. Not only that, but Abram understood that he would inherit heaven as well!

  Jesus said, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled” (Mat 5:6). And what did Melchizedek do for hungry and thirsty Abram? He fed him with the Body and Blood from Himself with the wine and bread.

  Jesus said, “Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy” (Mat 5:7). What had Abram done? He shared the inheritance with Lot. Then, Abram rescued Lot. If he had not, then all the inheritance would have been his! Because Abram was merciful, God had mercy on Abram. The Covenant was secured. The Promised Land would not belong to Chedorlaomer but to Abram.

  Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God” (Gen 5:8). Abram was pure in heart. He destroyed the pagan gods of Terah, his father, because they dishonored God. Then what happened in return? Abram saw God! He saw God in the flesh, and then God in the Flesh, served him.

  That is amazing… Jesus was there all the time, then showed Himself as the Maker of Peace. He Comforted Abram in battle in Spirit, then He came in the Flesh to Comfort him so that Abram could see God!

  Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Mat 5:9). Abram made peace, and as such, God heired him His Kingdom. Abram, when the Covenant was made, was deemed a child of God, then God came down from the Place of Peace (Salem) [1] and blessed Abram. Abram was “born again” when he trusted God, then was “baptized” by God in the Flesh. His baptism was the blessing by the Hand of God, just as ours is today. At his “baptism” God served Abram the Body and Blood of the Messiah just as Jesus would with the Crucifixion.

  Jesus said, “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Mat 5:10). What was in store for Abram. The kings came from all around, as far as Elam, to persecute him and his family. What was for “righteousness sake?” Abram was the rightful heir to the land, and Chedorlaomer a mere interloper. He was a type of Lucifer who always had his eyes on heaven and earth as his. [ii]

  There it goes again; a battle between “Satan” and “Jesus” for the Heaven and Earth! It would continue much later with Judas’s (with Satan in him) persecution on Jesus.

  Jesus said, “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake” (Mat 5:11). In essence, according to the formats of ancient wars, Chedorlaomer was declaring that his goddess was mightier than God. He was mocking the Name, “Jesus,” by declaring the name, “Lagamar.” Abram was fighting for his God more so than for himself. He won the battle for living souls because Chedorlaomer had insulted the Name of his God. His God was then called “Melchizedek,” meaning “King of Righteousness” (Abarim Publications).

  There it is: The King of Unrighteousness in a spiritual battle with the King of Righteousness – the arrogant king of kings against the humble King of kings, “Jesus.”

  Then Jesus even referred to Abram but not by name: “Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you” (Mat 5:12). Abram was a prophet. He demonstrated that when he was willing to sacrifice his only remaining son, just as God would do two millennia later. He saw “Jesus” in the Flesh in the form of Melchizedek, then later, when he came to sacrifice Isaac, he would see that Spirit of that “Man” pouring out of the Body of Jesus on the Cross.

  When Melchizedek “blessed” Abram, blessings are “bliss.” It was not the land of milk and honey, but the heavenly Paradise that Abram would inherit. Abram’s reward was in heaven.

  During the ministry of Christ, he told the story of the rich man and Lazarus. The poor, humble man, Lazarus, was in Abraham’s Bosom. [iii] Now, that should make sense as the key verses say, “Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth.” Paradise is “Abraham’s Bosom” because he is the possessor of heaven and earth. Abram possessed the Paradise on Earth and had the legal “deed” and when he died, that “deed” was transferred and transmitted to heavenly Paradise.

  Lot was safe in Abram’s bosom on Earth, and Lazarus still is in the Paradise of Heaven!

  Lastly, Jesus said, “Ye (the blessed) are the salt of the earth” (Mat 5:13). What had God made the seed of Abram? “I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth” (Gen 13:16). Jesus was blessing those bound for Abraham’s Bosom just as he had blessed Abram long before! In other words, the beatitudes were left over from Melchizedek’s blessing to Abram. God is dependable and trustworthy; what He did for Abram, He shall do for all the righteous!

  One last mention: Abram, referring to God, said, “I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet.” Does that ring a bell? It should! John the Baptist said this about Jesus:

²⁶ John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; ²⁷ He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. (John 1:26-27)

  Therein, John the Baptist indicated that water is ineffective. What would be? The wine and bread (Blood and Body) that Melchizedek served Abram. That was the blessing that kept Abram safe from Satan in Chedorlaomer. Abram was baptized by the Body and Blood of the King of Peace. That remains effective to this day! 

This is getting lengthy, so I will continue it tomorrow.

[1]  Most theologians take “Salem” as Jerusalem. “Salem” means “Peace” but Jerusalem, “the foundation of peace.” With that said, Melchizedek, in my opinion, was King of Salem in Heaven, or New Jerusalem, and came down, not from the Jebusite City, but the City of God in Paradise.

MARKERS ON THE WAY TO THE JESUS TREE

   The war goes on for possession of the Holy Land. Abram had received the Covenant from God. He was heir to all the lands that he could see in all directions. Northward he would have seen the mountainous regions associated with Jerusalem. He saw the prize. It was as if in hand!

  No mention is made of it yet, but giants were in his vicinity. Imagine the fear that would be raised in the hearts of Joshua’s spies when they saw Nephilim (giants) right there centuries later! But Abram showed no fear! Perhaps giants were not there at that time. Perhaps they would come later to guard the Way to the Tree of Life.

  God as well said to Abram, “Let us make a deal.” And here is the deal:

¹⁵ For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. ¹⁶ And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. ¹⁷ Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. ¹⁸ Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the Lord. (Gen 13:15-18) 

   Abram had squatted on Canaan’s land, or was it that Canaan had squatted on “Shem’s” land? God decided who would own the land and of whom He is Lord. God heired His land to Abram and again made the nomad, Abram, “Farmer Abraham.”

  Abram would plant his seed on fertile land and there it would grow to great numbers. To this day, the Arabs, Jews, and the few Gentiles there are from the seed that Abraham “planted” there. Unfortunately, there remains “tares” in Hebron, now the home of Palestinian Jews on the west bank of the Dead Sea.

 Now consider the word, “Palestinian.” Who are the Palestinians? There origin is unknown. The best guess is “sea peoples” called “Philistines.” That word comes from Hebrew Palesti; thus “Palestinians.”

  One thing is known for sure — at least one Philistine was a giant! Of course, that was Goliath. Perhaps “sea peoples” is a broad term for “people of the water.” What happened to the “giants” before the days of the flood of Noah’s time? [i] They were drowned in the water of the deluge. Ancient Jewish literature accepts the abyss under the Foundation Stone in Jerusalem as the source of the water for the flood and where the water receded beneath the earth.

  Abram had built an altar to the Lord in Hebron. He marked the place where he found grace. His seed would never be intimidated there by any giant!

  Years later, the spies from Joshua returned to report, “…the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying,

“The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” (Num 13”32-33)

  The spies had seen giants that they thought had been destroyed in the flood.

  But were they giants from the antediluvian times? No; the spies made it clear; that they were the seed of Anak. Anak was the son of Arba. Nothing is known of his genealogy. Strangely, unlike about any other biblical person, Anak’s lineage remains unknown to this day. Was he a sea people, not from Cypress or Greece, but seed in the waters from beneath the earth?

  Arba was the greatest man in Kiriath Arba. Now, we are getting some important information! (Wikipedia; “Arba”).  Keriath is related to Kerioth, meaning “compaction” and is translated as “cities.” (Abarim Publications). Ultimately the root adjective “qar” means “cold.”

  Now for some review: From where did giants come? From the admixture of Cain’s seed and the seed of the Sons of God. They were hybrid peoples, not from the sea at the Center of the Earth (Mediterranean) but from the “Sea of Glass.” Revelation may reveal their identity: “And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind” (Rev 4:6).

  Enoch wrote that God resided in the Tenth Heaven above the cosmos, but here is what John saw that Enoch saw as well: “And the cherubim and seraphim standing about the throne, the six-winged and many-eyed ones do not depart, standing before the Lord's face doing his will, and cover his whole throne, singing with gentle voice before the Lord's face: 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord Ruler of Sabaoth, heavens and earth are full of Thy glory.'” (Secrets of Enoch 21:1).

  Therein, both John and Enoch have seen angels of two types guarding the Way to the Tree of Life. Does that ring a bell? “So He drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life” (Gen 3:24).

  Abram had no fear of giants because he kept the Way to the Tree of Life to the place where Jesus would die on a “tree.” [ii] The giants may not have appeared to him since he kept the Way, or either they were worth no mention since they were friendly with him.

  By the time of Joshua, the giants’ natures had changed. They were scary! Joshua walked the Way that Abram walked, but by then Canaan’s seed had polluted the angels just as Cain’s seed had Seth’s back before the flood. No longer were they guardian angels but destroying angels because they had the cursed seed of Canaan in them.

  Now, for apostolic times: Why are all the apostles Galileans? Anyhow, all but one, and he is Judas Iscariot. Galilee is in the direction that Abram looked. However, Judas was from Kerioth. As mentioned before, Abram made an altar at Hebron, or Kiriath Arba. Arba, the giant, was from the Kerioth. Apparently, since the city of Judas was east of the Dead Sea, and Arba’s city to the West, then the area around the Dead Sea was the land of the stone-cold dead. (Was the “Dead Sea” another possible source of “sea peoples?”) With that said, Judas would have the seed of Canaan in him and also of rebellious angels. Canaan would have mingled his seed with the seed of demons, perhaps the Seraph Lucifer, himself.

  I know that sounds like science fiction, but scripture is clear — there is a heavenly war in progress, and everything is fair play to evil beings.

  But why would they do that? God planned it. He required an evil person for Satan to enter to do be the “bloody husband.” [iii] The wife of Moses accused him of that, but it was Judas all the time that God had in mind. But it would not be the circumcision of only the foreskin but all the skin of Jesus.

  When Abram built the altar to God in Keriath, was he defying Judas long before Judas? It turns out that Abram may have seen a vision of Judas running from God when he saw the ram that he would sacrifice instead of Isaac, his son!

  The astronomically sign then was the dawning of the age of the Ram (The Age of Aries). The zodiac Sign of the Baphomet: A goat’s head inside an inverted pentagram is a Satanic symbol. When Abram sacrificed the ram instead of his son, it was Satan in the ram that was dead. Is that not what happened when Jesus was sacrificed. The “Ram” in Judas was the one who died and remained dead. Jesus lived just as Isaac had two millennia before!

  The altar to God would later protect the Hebrews from the giant demonic-angel people when they passed through that area. It would also point to Judas of Kerioth as the traitor. Do you think it was by accident that all the other apostles were Galatians and only the evil traitor with Satan [iv] in him was from the land of giants?

  What was the Abrahamic Covenant all about? Providing a Savior to defeat sin to provide a home for the seed of Abraham in the heavenly Paradise. Who stood in the way? Angels guarding the Way. The Covenant that God made with Abram provided the Way to Paradise. It was the “passport” through the gate to Paradise to inherit the land at its probation in the Divine Court.

  Why build an altar there? It was a boundary mark. It, in conjunction to the other altars that Abram built, was the directional arrow to the Cross.

  Every word in scripture has meaning. “Hebron” meant so much because it represents “Kerioth.” Kerioth is so important because it points to Judas, and the ram that God provided for Abram points to Satan in the man of Kerioth. Just look where God points and that is the Way to the Tree of Life!

TENTING

  What is on a person’s mind is the direction they pitch their tent. My friend and I camp together. Each, before he pitches the tent, decides toward which direction the flap shall open.

  In the home, the expression is used, Which side of the bed did you get up on? That really does not matter, but it is a question of attitude, Where does your heart lie — why are you the way you are?

  The tents of the nomadic Hebrews were their homes. It was of great importance the direction their tents were pitched. When they awoke in the morning what they would see would be important to them. Abram, in contention with his nephew, Lot said, “Let there be no strife” (Gen 13:8). Abram cared more about accord than he did which way he would face, and which land he would get. They both settled on the Promise Land, but the difference is what they would see.

  Abram would look toward the high hills for peace, ostensibly toward Calvary. Lot would look toward the plain in the direction of Sodom. Mankind was always preserved on Holy Mountains and perished on the plains. Righteous Seth came down the Holy Mountain to wicked Cain’s abode on the plain. There, they became of one accord, but it was in accord with sin. Abram and Lot faced the same choice! Alas, the seeds of righteous Seth “pitched their tents” toward the plain where sin was rampant! [i]

  That was not the first time for that to happen! To wit:

And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. (Gen 2:9)

  Imagine this: There were two trees in the center of the Garden of Eden. Imagine them as tents. Indeed, the protection of trees are called “canopies.” The trees of the Garden of Eden were as tents. There were two “tents” in the middle of the Garden, and therearound many “pleasant trees.” All those trees were “as men walking” [ii] as blind Bartimaeus would see men.

  That blind man saw Jesus approaching him, and perhaps he saw Jesus as a Tree walking. He may have thought of Jesus as the Tree of Life, because immediately thereafter Jesus gave him vision!

  All the trees were as tents pitched. They all faced the middle of the Garden toward two choices: (1) The Tree of Life, or (2) The Tree of Death. In the New Testament, that would be the “Jesus Tree” and the “Judas Tree,” respectively.

  In the middle of Israel, there would remain two choices. Almost every “tent” was open away from Jesus. Sure, they looked on, but their hearts were with the other “tree” down the plain. In other words, there eyes were on Jesus, but they were in alliance (in accord) with Judas.

  The trees of the Garden represented three different natures of man: (1) The Tree of Life the Son of Man, “Jesus,” (2) the Wisdom Tree, the man, not of Galilee, but Kerioth, [1] and (3) the multitude of men that would be replicated as ‘adami. They represented the souls that would forthwith have life breathed unto them. Now look at the trees as “canopies,” or “tents.”

  Picture that Garden: It is a picture of tabernacle worship during the Exodus from Egypt. For you who cannot image well, here is the picture of tabernacle worship (figure #1):

 

 Figure #1: Tabernacle Worship

  In the middle of the tents stands one large Tent. That would be where God as a Cloud by day and a Fire by Night would rest. All the tents would face the Holy Tabernacle and see God as a Cloud or Fire. Now, reimagine that as trees around the Tree of Life back in the Garden. God would need no building, just as He said, because He was satisfied with trees, tabernacles, and tents. [iii] God would never need a house. The house would be for people, but simple things for God.

  Thus, the arrangement in Paradise was for tent worship, and the “tents” would be pitched by God toward him. An effort would be required to see the Tree of Knowledge. Adam and Eve would turn away from the Tree of Life under their “tent” and walk the way to the Wisdom Tree. Later, scripture provides great insight, to wit: “So He (God) drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the Garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the Way of the Tree of Life” (Gen 3:24).

  Now for Sodom and Gomorrah: “And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground” (Gen 19:1).

  Two Cherubim came to Sodom. They were there to test Lot.  Their purpose was to keep the Way to the Tree of Life. The test was to whom would Lot’s kind turn; to God who would save them from perishing or to pleasure of the flesh? Those two angels were providing a Way to the Tree of Life where Abram looked, and away from perishing where Lot’s eyes were fixed each morning. Lot had looked out at the two choices offered by God and chose unwisely:

¹⁰ And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. ¹¹ Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. ¹² Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. (Gen 13:10-12)

  That choice was “Adam” and “Eve” all over again. It turned out that “Adam” (Lot) went with God, and “Eve” (Lot’s wife) stayed behind and returned to the dust of the ground as a pillar of salt. [iv] She looked back toward Sodom just as Lot had before that “pitched his tent toward Sodom.” Abram saw the Way to the Tree of Life and Lot looked at Sodom and Gomorrah “as the Garden of the Lord.” It turned out that Sodom and Gomorrah were types of Hell, and Israel the true “Paradise.’

  Lot pitched his tent toward sin and Abram toward redemption from sin and kept the Way to the Tree of Life. And thanks to the visit from Cherubim, God provided a way from sins of the flesh.

  Think on that! Lot’s kin wanted sex with angels. Is that not what happened before the flood where the Sons of God married (coupled) with the daughters of men? [v] As Solomon proclaimed, “There is nothing new under the sun!”

  Lot’s line like Cain and Canaan before him, chose to place his tent toward the Wicked One. Thanks goes to angels who again guarded the Way to the Tree of Life which Way Abram chose!

  By pitching his tent toward Sodom, Lot saw pleasure as the way to contentment. He saw sin as Paradise. On the other hand, Abram looked toward Canaan and saw Victory over sin. He saw God beaconing him to come to the “middle of the Garden” where the Tree of Life would be rejected by much of Abraham’s kind two-thousand years later. Lot saw the past, and pitched his tent toward the Wicked One, but Abraham, just as Moses much later, would turn away from Pharaoh and pitch his tent toward God! Now, all of us must decide which way to pitch our tents.

  Shem, through Abram and Moses, would pitch his tent toward Calvary. Shem would even bring the body of Adam through the flood to pitch Adam’s tent on Calvary (so says The Cave of Treasures). Moses tent in the Cave of Machpelah. I would bet that the entrance to that Cave wherever it truly is, is faced toward the Tree of Life! God directed that: “God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant” (Gen 9:27).

  Now, the question arises, Which Way shall your ‘tent’ be pitched? I have pitched my tent away from Sodom and toward Calvary. I have done as Abram did after he sinned.

  The direction we chose when we wake up is the direction that we shall go! Like Lot, at one time I pitched my tent toward the “City of Flesh,” but THE Angel of God intervened. Jesus stepped in and made me choose which way that I should go. Each morning I get up on the right side of my bed and am faced with two choices: (1) Shall I read the Word, or (2) shall I turn the television on or do my thing? For thirteen years now, I have pitched my “tent” toward God on Calvary. I saw there that He died so that I need not perish in “Sodom” so to speak — the city of the flesh.

  It is so much easier to avoid sins of the flesh when each day “tents” are pitched facing God. We rightly accuse homosexuals of sins of the flesh, but face the truth — all men and women, just as Lot’s wife, look toward Sodom with memories of pleasure. Reading scripture daily, and facing God each morning, is how guardian angels guard us from the Wicked One! Paul wrote, “The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephes 6:17). The Word is the “flaming Sword” still wielded by Cherubim!

  In the end, there shall again be two choices? Shall we proceed the way of the Antichrist or the Way of Christ. That day, when it comes, for all the living, will be which way our “tents” are pitched. What happened in Sodom did not remain in Sodom! If anyone chooses sin, he or she shall perish.

  Lot was following the way of Abram who was directed by God. His prize would have been a Rock in Jerusalem where the Tree of Life could be found.

  Lot went another way. He went toward immediate prosperity and his choice as a place, “even as the Garden of the Lord.” Sodom and Gomorrah were not Paradise, but they were a Utopian view of Paradise. Lot saw cities that were, “imaginary and indefinitely remote” from where Abram was going. Sodom and Gomorrah were real cities, but they were remote from God and Paradise. Lot imagined them as Paradise, and Utopias are “imaginary and indefinitely remote places” of “ideal perfection especially in laws, government, and social conditions” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary).

  Facing his tent toward Sodom was when Lot was reset. Theretofore, he had went the Way of God but because of false perceptions the Wicked One reset the direction that he would take.

  And there you have it: “The Great Reset” of Lot’s time.

  Right now, the world is again facing a “Great Reset” (Klaus Schwab) and it is being implemented by “Lot” and his “wife,” Kamala. It too will fail because God will burn down the New reimagined Sodom just as he did with the imagined one in Lot’s mind!

  Sodom and Gomorrah perished and there was a thousand-year reign of prosperity. Soon the world again became as Sodom.

  Then, Jesus came and corrected the new harlot – Jerusalem. After another thousand years of Jesus, there has been a thousand years of decay. Now is the end of the “sixth day,” each day of a thousand years, and the Great Reset will be foiled again! I can hear the trumps sounding. I can see the Face of God. I see the rainbow, and I see Calvary. I see what Abram saw, and turned my tent away from the world!

[1] Kerioth means “cities” (Wikipedia). Whereas Galilee is in what was formerly Israel, Kerioth were cities along the Dead Sea. Judas was on the plain in the direction that Lot’s tent faced. Lot was looking toward the land of Judas. Abram, on the other hand, was looking toward Galilee and the Galilean. Lot was facing a “Kerioth” coupling in Sodom, and Abram a Galilean wedding in the mountains! That wedding would be as the wedding between the “Bridegroom,” Jesus, and the “Bride,” the Church.
