Black Citizens of Zion - Black Heritage Bible Lessons, Volume 2. "Your Home for Black History Information"
According to the Bible, Melchizedek was a monarch who had no beginning or end, no mother or father. This king was a representative of God on earth. It was to Melchizedek that Abraham, Father of the Jews brought his tithe and his offering. Melchizedek was regarded as an anti-typical Jesus, and some scholars suggest that Melchizedek was Christ Himself. The Jews look with glee upon the Priesthood of Aaron. It is with fond memories that they reflect upon the one through whom along with his descendants God had ordained a system for salvation. This system was imperfect but powerful, whereby the sinner, who strayed from God, could find himself in right relationship with God. It was a system that came revered the world over, and the whole nation was organized around this Levitical system. The system demanded that the sick or diseased before they could be declared clean, must present themselves to the priest. The king if he would be chosen must be anointed by the priest. The nation dared not go to war, unless directed by God through the priest. This Levitical Priesthood was indeed powerful, yet with all its power, it could not compare to the Priesthood of the black king Melchizedek. Melchizedek was an Amorite king. It was he who ruled over the city of Salem. Salem of course, later became known as Jerusalem, city of David. It appears that long before Salem became the City of Jerusalem, it was the city of God. It may have been the city of God for thousands of years before we first encounter it, because even though we have no record of God choosing Jerusalem before the coming of the Israelites, when the father of the Israelite’s was introduced to us in the book of Genesis, he is presented as bowing before Melchizedek king of Salem, and presenting to him his tithe. This suggests that Melchizedek was far more powerful than Abraham. Yet, the real power of the Priesthood of Melchizedek is not best represented in Abraham bowing before him. The real power is demonstrated in the fact that God ordains Jesus a Priest not after the order of the Jewish Priesthood, but after the Hametic Priesthood of Melchizedek. These Black Amorites were worshipers of the true God, because Melchizedek their king and Priest was “Priest of the most High God,” Yahweh himself. Read what the Apostle Paul states in his letter to the Hebrews: “Hebrews 7:1 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. 7:4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.” Stephen L.
