JERUSALEM’S HISTORY HAS SEVEN ELEMENTS OF GOD’S HISTORY
ELEMENT-1: CITY OF MELCHISADEK
Where does the history of Jerusalem begin? The first mention of this city on God’s canvas is in Genesis 14:18-24. To Abraham it becomes a CITY OF MELCHISADEK & THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST’S INCARNATION.
“And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.” (KJV).
From its gates descends Melchisadek, the Priest King, who was an awesome reminder to Abraham of the mystery of God’s plan. Melchisadek was a real man, a real priest, and a real king in a real city, that had a huge pace in God’s plan that perhaps neither he nor Abraham even knew.
Look at Hebrews 7:1-10 to see how amazing the six short verses about Melchisadek & Jerusalem become in God’s plans.
Hebrews 7:1-10 (NKJV) 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, 2 to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated “king of righteousness,” and then also king of Salem, meaning “king of peace,” 3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually. 4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils. 5 And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham; 6 but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. 7 Now beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better. 8 Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives. 9 Even Levi, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak, 10 for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
Jesus Christ is our perfect and eternal High Priest, who has given to us the power of of an endless life. Look at Hebrews 7:16 (NKJV):
who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.
