Any source for the bit from Soul Hackers' compendium about Melchizedek being the "Savior of the Angels" and more powerful than Jesus? That kinda smells like more New Age WTF to me, but I'm not entirely sure. There are some apocrypha depicting Melch doing things typically ascribed to Jesus in more mainstream texts, like judging the dead at the end of the world, but that's not quite the same thing...

They're powerscaling Jesus Christ out here. It's my understanding that the demons expelled into the herd of swine at Jerash each posessed as much "ki" as three Saibamen. Melchizedek doesn't want that smoke...

"An angel of Gnosticism, governing peace and righteousness. While Jesus was the savior of the people, Melchizedek was the savior of the angels, and sometimes is said to be greater than Christ Himself. To be specific, he is actually a Power, and used to be human, the king of Salem."

Anyway, the real association between Christ and Melchizedek probably originates in the Epistle to the Hebrews, but the spiel in the compendium is certainly copied from Walker:

(ascribing any esoteric belief to the gnostics is some ultimate get out of jail free shit)

“Thus man is heaven, earth, and hell in one, and his salvation is a much more personal problem than he realizes. Realizing that the human body is a mass of psychic centers and that during life the form is crisscrossed with endless currents of energy, that all through the form are sunbursts of electric force and magnetic power, man can be seen by those who know how to see him as a solar system of stars and planets, suns and moons, with comets in irregular orbits circling through them. As the Milky Way is supposed to be a gigantic cosmic embryo, so man is himself a galaxy.”

Who is your favourite demon, conceptually?

Phew, conceptually. Hmmm. It's a cliche and I'm repeating myself again, but I think it has to be one of the McFarlane cribs.

That Spawn figures and designs are part of the SMT (though specifically Soul Hackers) DNA is still just astounding to me.

Also holy shit does Zaou Gongen suffer from being meshed on the PS2.

Real shame the cloth and chains are so stiff. Shows its age even with the updated model.

Melchizedek, the Great Priest-King

1 For this Melchizedek, ‘king of Salem, priest of the most high God, met Abraham as he was coming back after defeating the kings, and blessed him; 2 and Abraham portioned out to him a tenth of everything.’

To begin with, if you translate Melchizedek’s name, it means ‘king of righteousness’; then he is also ‘king of Salem’, which means ‘king of peace’. 3 No mention is made of his father or mother or genealogy, nor of the beginning or end of his earthly life. He is described in a similar way to the son of God; and he continues as a priest for ever.

4 Look and see what an exalted status he has. Abraham the patriarch gave him a tenth of the spoils! 5 Those of Levi’s sons who receive the priesthood have a command to take tithes from the people according to the law – from, that is, their own brothers and sisters, although they, too, are physical descendants of Abraham. 6 But this man, who doesn’t share their genealogy at all, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed the man who possessed the promises. 7 It is beyond all question that the lesser is blessed by the greater. 8 In the former case, mortal humans receive tithes; in the latter case, the one who received them was one of whom scripture declares that he is alive. 9 And, if I can put it like this, even Levi paid tithes through Abraham – Levi, the one who receives tithes! 10 He was still in his ancestor’s loins, you see, when Melchizedek met him.

A New Order of Priesthood

11 So, you see, if it had been possible to arrive at complete perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for the people received the law by that means), what further need would there have been to speak of another priesthood being established ‘according to the order of Melchizedek’, rather than ‘according to the order of Aaron’? 12 Change the priesthood, after all, and you’re bound to change the law – 13 especially when you consider that the one of whom these things are spoken comes from another tribe altogether, one from which nobody is recruited to serve at the altar. 14 It’s obvious, isn’t it, that our Lord was descended from Judah, and Moses never made any connection between that tribe and the priesthood.

15 This is even clearer when another priest arises ‘according to the order of Melchizedek’, 16 who attains this rank not because of a law concerning physical descent but through the power of a life that cannot be destroyed. 17 What scripture says about him, after all, is, ‘You are a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’ 18 What is happening here is that the previous commandment is being set aside. It was, after all, weak and useless; 19 the law brought nothing to perfection, did it? Instead, what appears is a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

The Permanent Priesthood of Jesus

20 This is all the more so when you consider that an oath was sworn. The Levitical priests, you see, become priests without an oath, 21 but the Messiah attains his priesthood with an oath, through what was said to him:

The Lord has sworn and will not repent; you are a priest for ever.

22 Jesus has thus, additionally, become the guarantee of a better covenant.

23 There needed to be a large number of Levitical priests, since they stop holding office at death. 24 But since he continues as a priest for ever, his priesthood is permanent. 25 That’s why he is able to save those who come to God through him, completely and for ever – since he always lives to make intercession for them.

26 It was appropriate that we should have a high priest like this. He is holy, without blame or stain, separated from sinners, and elevated high above the heavens. 27 He doesn’t need (like the ordinary high priests do) to offer sacrifices every day, first for his own sins and then for those of the people. He did this once for all, you see, when he offered himself. 28 For the law appoints ordinary, weak, mortal men as high priests; but the word of the oath, which comes after the law, appoints the son, who has been made perfect for ever. — Hebrews 7 | New Testament for Everyone (NTE) The New Testament for Everyone copyright © Nicholas Thomas Wright 2011.

Oh boy are there so many things I want to focus on when i intent to write the old testament on prose (or maybe just the whole tanakh if i start researching more on it.). Its like there are so many actual good stories, philosophical moments and events that make me question a lot of things and im just like "dude, that could be a movie"

I wanna see the burning sword of protection, the curse of cain and lamech, the misfortunes of Job, the covenant of god, melchizedek and abraham's reunion, the story of Hagar and Ishmael, of the people of Sodom and Gamorrah, the fighting between Jacob and Esau, or the prophets like joshua after the death of moses, Othniel, Ehud, Shamgar, Deborah, Gideon, Abimelech, the rescue of Daniel, the fight of David and Goliath, the 40 days of temptation, the angel of the lord—asjhsskxhuanz BRO EZEKIEEEEEELLL

#christian memes #Christianity #old testament #job #cain #lamech #melchizedek #abraham #jacob #esau #deborah #ezekiel #and this isnt even getting on the angel part #nagging about how I need me some morally grey characters and none of the happy endings in life #but there is still hope #and thats what me likes

Enock ~ Melchizedek ~ Choosing Good Over Evil

If Satan were not the ruler of this world, would Jesus’ temptation in the desert those 40 days and forty nights been much of a temptation? Even Jesus was tempted to do evil, as we all are. There is evil in all of us, as Jesus told us in John 8:44. We have all chosen to lie, cheat, steal, and kill when it is convenient, expedient, politically motivated, and/or when money is the bottom line. Now is…

A Greater Priesthood

Hebrews 7.11-28 Jesus is greater. In every way, Jesus is greater. He serves in a greater priesthood and is Himself both the perfect Sacrifice and the perfect High Priest. He saves forever those who have trusted in Him, always making intercession for them before the Father, having provided the way for them to draw near to God through Him. I think as Gentile Christians it’s a bit harder for us to…

Adam failed as a prophet by failing to tell his wife what she needed to pursue holiness (Genesis 3:17). Adam failed as a priest because he disqualified himself from tending the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24). The word עבד used in Genesis 2:5, 15 to describe Adam tending the Garden is used through the rest of the Old Testament to describe priestly duties. Adam failed as a king because by failing to subdue the serpent, over whom he had been given dominion (Genesis 1:28). This word for dominion רדה is used of kings in 1 Kings 4:24, and of other political leaders elsewhere.

Jesus is a prophet (Acts 3:22-23, 7:51-53). He satisfied the qualifications for this office during His earthly ministry (Matthew 10:40-41, 13:57, Mark 6:4, Luke 4:24, 13:33, John 4:19). He succeeded where Adam failed by telling His wife, who is the church, all she needs to pursue holiness (Ephesians 5:23, 2 Corinthians 11:1-2, Matthew 28:19-20). Jesus is a priest (Hebrews 5:5-6, 7:11-17, 21, 24, 10:19-21, 1 Peter 2:4-5). If one understands the Epistle to the Hebrews in conjunction with Psalm 110:1-4, Acts 2:34-35, and Matthew 26:64, one necessarily comes to the conclusion that He satisfied the qualifications for this office no later than Pentecost. He succeeded where Adam failed by tending to the church, which is His temple (2 Corinthians 6:16). Jesus is a king (Acts 5:31, 17:6-7, 1 Corinthians 15:25, Colossians 1:9-17, Titus 6:13-16, 2 Peter 1:11, Revelation 1:5, 2:10, 11:15, 19:15). He satisfied the qualifications for this office at His birth (Matthew 2:2, Luke 1:32-33), and He is stated to be a king elsewhere during His earthly ministry (Matthew 21:5, 28:18, Luke 1:33, John 1:49, 12:14-15, 18:33-37). He succeeded where Adam failed because the serpent is now powerless, weak, and left plotting in vain (Hebrews 2:14-15, Revelation 12:9, 17-16).

This is why Paul calls Jesus the "last Adam" (1 Corinthians 15:45-47).

Futurism detracts from the prophethood of Jesus. By denying the Olivet Discourse has been fulfilled, opponents of Christ can point to the His most important prophecy unrelated to His resurrection as false. Bertrand Russel did exactly that, focusing on Matthew 24:34. He was not mistaken. The use of "this generation" here doubtless corresponds with the same phrase used in Matthew 11:16, 23:13-39, Mark 8:12, Luke 7:31-32, 11:29, 50-51, 17:25. Premillennialism detracts from the priesthood of Jesus. He, being permanently in the Melchizedek priesthood, will be enthroned at the right hand of the Father until his enemies are vanquished (Psalm 110:1-4). His last enemy is death (1 Corinthians 5:25-26). If one insists that death will continue for 1000 years or more after Second Coming, one necessarily insists that Jesus' priesthood will be suspended without Biblical precedent. Premillennialism detracts from the kingship of Jesus. He is the subject of Psalm 2, according to Acts 4:25-28 and Revelation 19:15. Jesus as king has been given the nations, in accordance with Psalm 2:8 and Matthew 28:18, so Satan cannot rule while Jesus rules with a rod of iron in Psalm 2:9. The kingship of Christ is the prerequisite for the Great Commission. "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit," so anyone who believes Satan rules this world and still evangelizes is disobeying the Great Commission.

To believe that Christ is the last Adam, to believe that He has succeeded in every office where Adam failed, to believe an inextricable link between the offices, and to tell others about Him requires that He made accurate predictions of the future which have come to past, that He will serve as priest until death is no more, and that He rules this world we live in right now. I affirm this with every fiber of my being. Do you?

The Kingdom Is Here Today

Brent Pollard The author of Hebrews uses the example of the Melchizedekian priesthood to establish the priesthood of Christ. Jesus belonged to the tribe of Judah, which Moses did not mention regarding the earthly priesthood. Therefore, there was a need for a covenant change to allow a non-Levite to serve as a priest. The writer of Hebrews spends chapters eight and nine explaining how the New…
