Luke 4:16-21 Paraphrased: 

Jesus was reading in the Temple. He read that The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, He anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, deliver the captives, heal the blind, liberate them that are bruised. Preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he sat down. He stopped reading where He did because, this is the breaking-off point between the First coming of Jesus and His Second Coming. Start reading there to find out about His second coming. So start reading in Isaiah 61:1 and read to the middle of the second verse. That is what Jesus read. 

Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord (Adonai) God is upon me; because the LORD (Yahweh)hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound

That was a description of the first coming of Christ.

Here is the description of the second coming of Christ.

2. and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, (Yahweh) that they might be glorified (boast).
4. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5. And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6. But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: (Yahweh) men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory (heavy riches) shall ye boast yourselves.
7. For your shame ye shall have double: and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
8. For I the LORD (Yahweh) love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9. And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD (Yahweh) hath blessed.
10. I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, (Yahweh) my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorned herself with her jewels.
11. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Chapter 62

1. For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
2. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory (heavy riches): and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD (Yahweh) shall name. 
3. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory (communication) in the hand of the LORD (Yahweh), and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
4. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephziba, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD (Yahweh) delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
5. For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
6. I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD (Yahweh), keep not silence,
7. And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8. The LORD (Yahweh) hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast labored:
9. But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD (Yahweh); and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
10. Go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. 
11. Behold, the LORD (Yahweh) hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
12. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD (Yahweh): and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. 

Wasn’t that beautiful!

Isaiah 45:3 says, And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

It is time for this inheritance to be received. The hidden riches of the secret places are ready to be revealed. I am going to tell you the secret. 

Now you can be rich in beauty, personality, family, love, health, brains, happiness, fun, creativity, etc. Being rich doesn’t always have to refer to money. That is the secret. 

The Holy Spirit produces sonship. What does it mean to be a son? These sons will rule and reign with Him. They will restore the earth, destroy death, turn the Kingdom over to the Father. Our destiny is to be with Him in His glory, not just to have the power to heal the sick and raise the dead. Those things are done in faith, and have been done by men who haven’t come into sonship yet. Some Old Testament saints who had never had a salvation experience and 70 of Jesus’ disciples did miracles and they hadn’t received the Holy Spirit experience yet. Don’t praise and worship God because you are trying to get something out of him. That is philao love. God wants us to agape love him. 

Daniel 3:17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. 

19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. 

Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego, had the correct attitude. God is able, but if He doesn’t do what we want, we will still serve our God. Not yours. There is no formula to get God to do what you want. You can not manipulate God. We just have to love God anyway. Unconditionally. 

John 21: 15 – 17

Jesus said to Peter, Lovest thou me? Peter, do you agape me? Peter answered, Lord you know I am only human, I phileo you. Jesus said, Then feed my lambs.  Jesus asked the second time. Peter, do you agape me? Peter answered again, yes Lord I phileo you. Then feed my sheep. Jesus asked for the third time. Peter, do you even phileo me? Now Peter gets upset, but he still answers yes I phileo you. Then feed my sheep. 

Jesus wanted Peter to agape love Him. Peter only phileo loved Jesus. This means that Peter only loved Jesus when Peter got something out of it. Jesus wanted Peter to love Him even if Peter didn’t like what was going on.

Lambs refer to baby Christians. Sheep refer to mature Christians. God can use you to feed the people even if you are not an agape lover. However, I want to be an agape lover, because that is what God wants. 

 

In what way was Jesus rich? Philippians 2:6 says Christ Jesus was in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. That means, He possessed the fullness of the attributes that make God God, and he didn’t feel like he was stealing from God.

John 17:5 says Oh Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 

That word glory should have been translated think or thought. Strongs G 1391 from 1380.

So now the verse would read, Oh Father, put your own thoughts in me, those kind of thoughts like I used to have before the world was. In the beginning Jesus was very rich in God’s thoughts. He gave that up when He got a human body. Now He is asking to think that way again. I do believe God answered His prayers and gave Him, His way of thinking. Now Jesus’ body is in heaven. But the Body of Christ is here right now on earth. So now it is time for us to also ask to think like God.

God always wanted to live in man, but He couldn’t because of sin. When Jesus got a body, God got a piece of earthly real estate that He could live in. God was manifested in the flesh. Jesus was rich in God, and for the second time, He gave that up, this time on the cross, He became poor in God, so that we could become rich in God.  

Ephesians 3:19 says that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now that’s rich!

Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be glorified together. Because we are joint-heirs, that means that we inherit, the same thing that Jesus inherits. 

John 17:22 says, And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 

Here Jesus is speaking, He says, the thinking that the Father gave Him. Jesus gave to us, so that we can be one with Jesus, just as Jesus and the Father are one. 

Romans 8:17 said that we are joint-heirs with Christ. That means we get the same amount of the same thing. If you limit your inheritance, you limit what Christ gets. And Jesus Christ our Lord deserves it. So please take your share, so that He can take His. 

Being rich doesn’t always refer to money. In this case it refers to thinking like God. Having His Glory. So if you think like God, all the other things will fall into place and you will receive beauty, personality, family, love, health, brains, happiness, fun, creativity, etc. and oh yea, I almost forgot, money. Lol. Thinking like God is the secret place. 

I want to be rich in God’s thoughts. 

Oh Father, put your thoughts in me.

Love,

Diane 

In John 14:5 Jesus said “I am the vine, Ye are the branches.” 

Isaiah 11:1&2 “And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. 2. And the spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;” verse 3 “And shall make him (the Branch,) of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord:” 

Zachariah 3:8 Here now, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee: “for they are men wondered at: for behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.” 

Zechariah 6:12 & 13 “Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is the BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord; 13, Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, (beauty) and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne; and the council of peace shall be between them both.” 

Our bodies are the temple. This refers to body salvation. It says that twice. 

Jeremiah 23:5&6 “Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a king shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. 6. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is the name whereby he (the branch) shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” 

Jeremiah 33:15 & 16 says the same thing. 

Philippians 3:9 but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. “Not of the law. 

Romans 11:16 “If the root be holy, so are the branches.” Therefore we are holy enough to execute the judgment. 

Romans 3:31 says that through our mercy they also shall obtain mercy. Because we are righteous, we can afford mercy. 

Because the branch is a continuation of the vine, we will finish what Jesus left undone. 

Let’s recap. Jesus is the vine. You, the Body of Christ, are the righteous branches. We have the spirit of the Lord, wisdom, quick understanding, council, might, knowledge, holy, and the fear of the Lord. We are a priest on a throne. We execute judgment and justice. We are servants and we are merciful.

Jonathan was a man of faith, courage, vision, unselfishness and spiritual. He was next in line for the throne. But he knew that David was God’s anointed. Jonathan gave David his robe and his garments, his sword and bow and his girdle. Jonathan wanted to serve David, when David would become King. Saul Jonathan’s father tried to kill David and David ran for his life, but even though Jonathan knew that David was God’s anointed, Jonathan stayed in his father’s house. 

1 Samuel 22:1-2 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullan: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him. And everyone that was in distress, and everyone that was in debt, and everyone that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.

Jonathan should have gone to the cave with David and his men. But he didn’t. There are some people who can see the anointing, but don’t want to leave the old order. The church. 

Because Jonathan stayed with Saul, he died with Saul. He could have reigned with David. He wanted to. But he wouldn’t leave Saul. You have to decide, you can’t serve two kings at the same time. Go to where the Spirit of God is. 

Zadok

Zadok, a descendent of Aaron, and of the tribe of Levi, on the other hand, served David, in the bad times and then he got to serve him in the good times. Zadok was a Seer, and stuck with David when Absalom tried to usurp the throne. When Adonijah tried to overthrow David. Zadok was on David’s side, because he knew that David was the anointed. God’s chosen. Because of Zadok’s faithfulness to God and his anointing, God used Zadok’s descendants in a mighty way. Jerusha (daughter of Zadok) was the mother of Jotham, a mighty King of Judah. He was a good King and did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. Zadok’s great-great grandson was the first priest in Solomon’s Temple, the glory of the Lord filled the temple so that the priest couldn’t stand to minister. Azariah, was the priest in the Temple under Hezekiah, when they cleaned up the Temple, this caused a Revival that shook the nation. Ezra, was a priest who came back from Babylon to rebuild the Temple. 

Ezekiel had a vision, about an eternal temple made without hands, this is a ministry reserved for the sons of Zadok.

In Ezekiel it says, It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. 

But Jonathan, even though his heart was right, didn’t do the right thing, Jonathan should have left Saul, the old order, the church, and followed the anointing. But he didn’t. Will you?

Diane

Genesis 50:24 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence. 

What? Why did Joseph want the children of Israel to carry his bones away?

And Moses did!

Exodus 13:19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him.

Now these bones are 400 years old!

Well the Bible says that was the right thing to do.

Hebrews 11:22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. 

OK, but why?

Joseph knew,

Matthew 27:51 – 53 And, Behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom: and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent and the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after this resurrection, and went into the holy city and appeared unto many. 

Joseph knew what was going to happen and he wanted to be a part of it.

Those guys that arose with Christ were the first fruits of the resurrection. They are living proof that the harvest is going to happen.

1 Samuel 25:1 – 42

I will tell you the story, then we will pick it apart and then find some nuggets!

There was this really rich guy, his name was Nabal. He had 3,000 sheep and 1,000 goats. He lived in Carmel. He was shearing his sheep.  I think he must have had a lot of helpers. David and his 600 soldiers were traveling through the area, they protected Nabal’s men. They were a wall to them night and day. David’s men were very good to them, they didn’t hurt them or steal anything from them. 

David sent 10 young men to Nabal, and asked for food. And Nabal said no. David got really mad. And David told his soldiers to put on their swords. David said I’ll kill all of them. Nabal had a wife, her name was Abigal, she was beautiful and smart. One of Nabal’s men went to Abigal and told her what happened. 

Abigail hurried up and took 200 loaves of bread and five sheep already killed and gutted, and corn and 100 clusters of raisins and 200 cakes of figs and only 2 bottles of wine and had the asses carry all this stuff. But she didn’t tell her husband. She had all the food go first. And she went to see David.

When Abigail saw David she laid on the ground with her face down, at his feet and she said, let this sin be on me. Please let me talk. Don’t pay attention to Nabal. He is a fool. Please forgive me.

Then David said, Hey, thanks for coming! I am glad you came, because I was going to kill everyone in your town. And thanks for the food. Don’t worry, you changed my mind. I am not going to kill anybody now. 

So, Abigail went home. Nabal was very drunk. She didn’t tell him anything. But in the morning when he was sober, she told him. And he went into a coma. In 10 days he died. Then David married Abigal. And they lived happily ever after. 

Let’s pick this story apart.

“And…(Abigail)… fell before David on her face”

 (1 Samuel 25:23) This is complete surrender to a higher authority. 

Abigail understood the difference between the Ruler and a ruler, (my LORD and my lord). She stood In the gap between them both so that reconciliation can come.

 1 Sam 25:30 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;

She was willing to die. David is serious, he is coming with his men to kill her husband and wipe out every man of Nabal’s family line. But, then she goes down and falls on her face at his feet and she calls him, “My lord.” The moment she says that she is recognizing David’s authority and this establishes that David is a superior ruler. She was advocating for mercy. 

Abigail thinks her husband is an idiot, and everybody around him thinks so too. She has this group of people and she hopes that if she becomes their representative she can spare all of them.

 1 Sam 25:17 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him. 

Belial strongs #1100 white part of the egg = egg head. Nabal is the son of an egghead, Now that’s Funny! 

In the Old Testament, the example of priesthood was of a priest going into the Holy of Holies once a year. But other people had no right to even refer to the Name of the Lord. That right was given only to the priests because they were considered so holy. Even when they write the name of God or the Lord, they do it like this G-d or L-rd. Abigail was not allowed to take the Name of the Lord out into the marketplace, out to where an army is coming. Just for that she could have been killed. But Abigail understood.

First, you must understand that, 

LORD = Yahweh. That LORD is all capital letters.

lord = Boss. In that lord, all the letters are lower case.

Lord = Adoni. In that Lord only the first letter is capitalized. 

That is three different meanings for the same word, they are spelled the same, but different letters are capitalized. 

1 Samuel 25:28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD (Yahweh) will certainly make my lord (boss) a sure house; because my lord (boss) fighteth the battles of the LORD (Yaheweh), and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.

By advocating reconciliation for the sin of her family, she brings it to a point where her family is pardoned. But not Nabal because he does not stand under the word of God. And all of this is because of her representation saying: “I have sinned.” Even though she didn’t sin. 

Abigail apologized for something she didn’t do. Do I have to do that?

Yep

Unless there is ownership of sin, nothing can change. There can be no trial if there is no ownership.  

Jesus did it too.

Isaiah 53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. 

Let’s talk about frequency. It is when you create stuff in your imagination. You become a host, and then you bear the image of that act. So, whatever goes on inside you vibrates and that vibration sets up a frequency, which makes that act happen. When a spirit of murder sees its own image, it will step into that image. You can also imagine good stuff, which creates wonderful vibes and frequencies and then they happen.

You must judge yourself first. The high priest would come into the realm of God. He would take the scroll of the Word of God and raise it above his head and say, “This has now become my covering. I stand under the covering of the Torah as a huppah.” Because he was acting as the mediator he came under that covering. He would say. “Judge me, oh God, according to the measure of the covering that I am now under.” 

Psalm 35:2 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.

The high priest was wearing the breast plate that represented the 12 tribes of Israel. He would say, “Judge me, Oh God, and then judge everything on the outside of this covering.” And in that exact instant, the whole of the Israelite nation was free from every form of sin, iniquity and transgression. Because the breastplate was symbolic for them they were standing under the covering. And grace was given for a whole year until the high priest would come in and do it again.

Repentance repaints the picture you have in your imagination. It repaints the image and makes it something completely different. The spirit world also recognizes that. 

The devil wants to fight with you. He accuses you and wants you to say, “Oh, no, I have not sinned.” But the Bible tells us to agree with our adversary quickly.

 ( Matthew 5:25) Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 

 Why? Repent and get the accusations against you judged, you will be found innocent, because you are under the word of God, and the devil will have no power over you. Just get it done and over with. The Bible says, “The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged” You see if you are not judged the devil can continue to accuse you.

 (Matthew 7:2) For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 

Now we have better than the Torah, we have the Holy Bible! Practice by placing a Bible on your head and saying, “By faith, Lord, I stand under the covering of Your Word. Put on a necklace or something to represent the breastplate, so that your family will also be under the covering. 

Then, I would say: “This is what I did…………… I ask You to remove that from my life. Judge it according to Your righteousness . Remove it from my life.” Now, Lord, as You have judged me, I ask You to judge everything that was connected to that part of my life with that same sword.

For example, you were married many years ago to an idiot, who committed many sins. Or family member or colleague, friend or even church member, even if they are now dead, etc.  Now take those sins upon yourself even though you didn’t do them and stand under the covering of the word of God and repent for the those sins. El Elyon, I ask that You would take Your Word like a sword, that Flaming Sword that stands in the way of the tree of life and I ask that You would judge me according to your grace. Now, El Elyon, as You have judged me, I ask You to judge everything that was connected to that part of my life with the same sword. By taking the sins of the other person you are acting under the order of Melchizedek and functioning as a high priest. 

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should  perish, but that all should come to repentance. 

Doing the above will give you access to the tree of life and many miracles.  

Diane Ebaugh Sutton       

I am going to explain that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. And the Holy Spirit is Righteousness, Peace and Joy. We all knew that. But let’s add the Father brings Justice, Judgment and Holiness. 

Jesus: the Way, the Truth and the Life 

(John 14:6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 

 

Add to that,

Holy Spirit: Righteousness, Peace and Joy

(Romans 14:17) For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 

 

Add to that,

The Father: Judgment, Justice and Holiness 

Right now our world is crying out for justice, judgment and holiness. We want Judgment and then Justice in our government, Congressmen, Senators and presidents and for the bad guys.  We want Holiness in our role models. We are all tired of the sex scandals of our past presidents, politions, football heroes and Hollywood stars. We all want to get rid of the pedophiles and cannibals.  We all want the same thing right now. But we don’t even know that we are already united. And this cry is global. 

(Isaiah 5:16) But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in Judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in Righteousness. 

(Justice, Judgment, Righteousness – Jeremiah 23:5) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a Righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute Judgment and Justice in the earth.

 (Justice, Holiness – Jeremiah 31:23) Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of Justice, and mountain of Holiness. 

 (Justice, Judgment, Peace – Isaiah 9:7) Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with Judgment and with Justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. 

 (Justice, Judgment, Righteousness – Isaiah 56:1) Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye Judgment, and do Justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my Righteousness to be revealed. 

Do we get rid of Jesus because we got the Holy Spirit? NO! We add the Holy Spirit to Jesus. Do we get rid of the Holy Spirit because we have the presence of the Father? Absolutely Not! We add the Father to the Holy Spirit and to Jesus. 

You: Spirit, Soul and Body.

Jesus heals your Spirit. The Holy Spirit heals your Soul and the glory of the Father will inhabit your Body. 

But if you don’t have Jesus, then you don’t have any direction and you lie. If you don’t have the Holy Spirit, you are not at peace. And if you don’t have the Father then, your body will be judged and you will lose it. 

Aren’t you glad that you have Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Father?

I am!

Genesis 14: 18–20   And 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.

Melchisedek ministered to Abraham in the physical realm. And Abraham gave Melchisedek 10 % of all that Abraham had won in the battle.

Hebrews 7:6   But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

Hebrews 7:3   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. 

 

Jesus was a priest forever after the order of Melchisedek.

Hebrews 5: 5, 6, 10   So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee. 6 As he saithe also in another place, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. 10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedek. 

 

Jesus Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedek.

Hebrews 6:20   Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest forever after the order of Melchisedek. Hebrews 7:11   If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron? Hebrews 7:12   For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. Hebrews 7:21  (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek:

 

Jesus Father is the Most High God. Melchisedek is not the Most High God. Melchisedek is Melchisedek.

Endless life

Hebrews 7:15,16   And yet it is far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedek there ariseth another priest, 16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
