  2. Life without God is life “without Hope.” Last Time: What Gives You Hope? In those days you were living apart from Christ.

  17. The Argument in Hebrews

  18. The “Order of Melchizedek” (See Genesis 14) When Abram heard that his nephew Lot had been captured, he mobilized the 318 trained men who…pursued Kedorlaomer’s army until he caught up with them at Dan.

  19. The “Order of Melchizedek” (See Genesis 14) After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer …Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High

  20. The “Order of Melchizedek” (See Genesis 14) and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth…” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything

  21. The Amazing Significance of Melchizedek This Melchizedek was king of the city of Salem and also a priest of God Most High. When Abraham was returning home after winning a great battle against the kings, Melchizedek met him and blessed him. Heb. 7:1

  22. The Amazing Significance of Melchizedek • Then Abraham took a tenth of all he had captured in battle and gave it to Melchizedek. The name Melchizedek means “king of justice,” and king of Salem means “king of peace.” Hebrews 7:2

  23. The Amazing Significance of Melchizedek • There is no record of his father or mother or any of his ancestors—no beginning or end to his life. He remains a priest forever, resembling the Son of God. Hebrews 7:3

  24. The Amazing Significance of Melchizedek • Consider then how great this Melchizedek was. • Even Abraham, the great patriarch of Israel, recognized this by giving him a tenth... 7:4

  25. The Amazing Significance of Melchizedek And without question, the person who has the power to give a blessing is greater than the one who is blessed. Hebrews 7:7

  26. The Amazing Significance of Melchizedek For the priest we are talking about belongs to a different tribe, whose members have never served at the altar as priests… Hebrews 7:13-14

  27. What I mean is, our Lord came from the tribe of Judah, and Moses never mentioned priests coming from that tribe. Hebrews 7:14 The Amazing Significance of Melchizedek

  28. The Amazing Significance of Melchizedek

  29. The Amazing Significance of Melchizedek This new system was established with a solemn oath… For God said to him, “The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow: ‘You are a priest forever.’” 7:20-21

  30. The Amazing Significance of Melchizedek • There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office. • But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. 7:23-24

  31. The Amazing Lynch-Pin of Melchizedek “…the person who has the power to give a blessing is greater than the one who is blessed. Hebrews 7:7 …he prophesied, “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 7:17

  32. The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit in the place of honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies, making them a footstool under your feet.” Psalms 110:1 The Amazing Lynch-Pin of Melchizedek ‘Adonai’ ‘Yahweh’ The Messiah! Who is King DAVID’s “Lord”?

  33. The Amazing Lynch-Pin of Melchizedek The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” Psalms 110:4 J.C.

  34. “The Messiah will replace priests, like Melchezedek.” So What?

  35. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1 Timothy 2:5 So What?
