Foreword
Melchizedek gives many Catholics a New Understanding of Human History in the two or three million years before God provided the written record of Adam and Eve in The Bible. Thanks to Melchizedek at Work, Catholics are blessed with History’s Clearest Understanding of God’s Power for the past three million years!
Over 13 trillion light-years ago, God, Whom we may now describe as “The Loving Programmer”, Wrote and Downloaded what may be seen as The Creation Program. It had to be so huge, about 30 trillion light-years from one side to another, that human beings, His Beloved Replicating Free-Will Programs, could not see an end to His Programming Power and be forced to believe in Him.
Since Adam and Eve were “made in the image of God”, they had Free Will. Eve proved the success of The Creation Program when she, representing the first of God’s Beloved Replicating Female Free-Will Programs let the devil lead her to choose to “eat the forbidden fruit”. Then, she led her male counterpart, Adam, to join her in disobeying God.
Adam, Eve, and their children were living proof that God had done the most Complicated Thing in The Creation Program: He had successfully Programmed and Downloaded His beloved “Replicating Free-Will Programs”!
Their first choice was ridiculous: they made clothes for themselves by “sewing leaves” (Genesis 3:7) together! God saw that, and knew they needed His help. He made, and showed them how to make, real clothes of leather (Genesis 3:21). That means God taught them the skills to make the necessary tools to skin animals, prepare their hides, and sew them together. Human History began.
During those lessons, Catholics see that God may have “Programmed Melchizedek” to be at His side. God showed Melchizedek what his work was to be for nearly three million years. The oldest chipped stone tools date to 2.75 million years ago in Kenya. That is how long Melchizedek has been teaching in the years after God taught Adam and Eve to make and work with leather. We can imagine God saying: “Melchizedek, your work is to help people develop the skills to make what they need to survive and multiply in every climate on earth.”
Then, God gave Melchizedek, who was “without father or mother or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling The Son of God, continues a priest, forever.” (Hebrews 7:3), the work of leading people to listen to God and seek His Guidance. Some, like Abel, listened and learned. Others, symbolized by Cain, preferred their desires to Melchizedek’s guidance.
Catholics reduce almost three million years of Human History into One Sentence: “Some of Adam’s children, like Cain, let the devil lead them to hate and kill their brothers; the others, like Abel, followed Melchizedek.”
Every person’s gene-ration in every generation of Human History makes their choice in the continual battle between God’s Love and the devil’s hate for every Replicating Free-Will Program who would ever live.

May all be blessed to understand that Human History began long before the problems of Adam and Eve’s disobedience were written in The Book of Genesis to let the preceding two or three million years be easier to comprehend.
Melchizedek taught our ancestors more than making things. He began to teach them how to organize their families to grow into ever larger Tribes. He taught them to work for the highest values of whatever image of God Melchizedek’s human priests could teach them to understand.
Catholics are blessed to see that Melchizedek’s Works began to take modern form 12,500 years ago. That’s when he began to teach one Tribe of people how to build dozens of huge stone cities around Göbekli Tepe, in western Turkey and Eastern Syria. They were growing, peaceful places for 4,000 years. Their ancient walls are unmarked by signs of fire and weapons being used against them by looting besiegers. A small part of one city such was recently uncovered:
Then, around 8,000 BC, God had Melchizedek tell the peaceful people in their dozens of Melchizedekian cities: “It’s time for all of you to leave here and go into the world.”
He had his people bury their peaceful cities under mounds of earth. Families and Tribes blessed to follow Melchizedek’s directions began to spread around the world, replacing the Cro-Magnons, Neanderthals, and other ancient peoples. It is not a coincidence that the cities around Göbekli Tepe are close to nearby Harran, where Abraham’s family lived.
There were two types of human rulers after Melchizedek. Some followed Cain, and used their skills to kill or enslave those around them. Others kept their societies organized by building earthen mounds and stone monuments to whatever vision of God they wanted to follow.
One of the statues made by peoples from Göbekli Tepe 12,000 years ago was recently discovered. It had been buried in a wall. The very large head perfectly symbolizes the size and capacity of Melchizedek’s brain!
Melchizedekian skills were taught to the people of Göbekli Tepe and spread around the world. Societies were organized to keep people busy on Public Projects. They included pyramids, Hanging Gardens in Babylon, what lidar now shows to have been 300,000 miles of Roman roads, countless dams, irrigation ditches, aqueducts, canals, docks, boats, wagons, and terraced rice fields. Similar Public Projects began to appear around the world, each claiming to be a source of salvation. All of them show Melchizedek at Work!
Before Abraham, the smartest of Melchizedek’s people built the best temples. Some of their gods were in far-off planets and galaxies among the stars. The worst of people turned Melchizedek’s Projects into ways to show their hatred of neighbors. Aztec priests, for instance, once used their pyramids to sacrifice twenty thousand people in one day! That was not Melchizedek at Work!
Melchizedek blessed mankind with an understanding that let worship centers be used to provide them with calendars that gave them an understanding of time throughout months, years, centuries, and thousands of years. Farmers knew how important it was to plant and harvest at the right time. Melchizedek taught their priests how to track sunrises and weather patterns to give them proper timing for planting and harvesting.
In Ireland, Melchizedekian People built Newgrange 5,200 hundred years ago. It’s perfectly aligned tunnel let Melchizedekian priests in the deep, underground room literally see the light of the rising sun on each year’s shortest day to begin their Winter Festival.
The Newgrange Mystery: Today, the fields around the temple have boundaries that are not parallel with the line connecting the opening of the gateway to dawn with the priests at the altar in the center of the mound.
A hundred years later, England’s Melchizedekians were guided to begin building Stonehenge. That gave earthly alignment to more solar activities than could be seen by those at the end of the tunnel in Newgrange! Unlike Göbekli Tepe and Newgrange, Stonehenge was left uncovered and unburied. That let everyone see what happened on the important sunrises, noons, and sunsets of every important day.
Uncounted thousands of mostly circular temples, mounds, and standing stones and wooden totems were erected between Japan and Ireland; Alaska and Argentina. All their generally circular monuments show Melchizedek at Work. Their organizational ability, developed by Melchizedek at Göbekli Tepe a few thousand years earlier, let them organize growing families into successful Tribes around the world.
Melchizedek worked miracles in Egypt! Their angular pyramids were also oriented by stars and planets beyond but were far more complicated. Some of them had “star shafts” (shown by #10s below) through the solid stones that let those in a burial chamber see the North Star or Orion’s Belt in the distant universe to let them be blessed by Osiris and Isis.
Those structures show that Melchizedek worked on something else!
Melchizedek followed God’s Orders to provide people with spoken and written languages that allowed them to write with letters and compute with numbers.
That Great Work of Melchizedek allowed later generations to see how some gene-rations were able to see, describe, record, and pass on what they saw, thought, and calculated. The most complicated human thoughts, calculations, and buildings of the preceding three million years took form:
It took a few thousand years for Melchezedian Thinking to spread to the Americas, but their pyramids were spectacular and more useful to people! Some of them put smaller squares on top of bigger ones and made steps to climb them to a somewhat cubicle structure on top!
One of Mexico’s stone and earthen mounds was so huge that many people forgot it was underneath the Catholic Cathedral build by the blessed Catholics from Spain who built it atop Mexico’s impressive Melchizedekian Monument!
That huge temple mound was re-discovered when a railroad excavation moved some earth away from one end and discovered massive stone walls and tunnels beneath what looked like a huge hill.
Look closely to see how much bigger their immense earthen mound is than the big Catholic Cathedral built upon it! A mile of stone-lined tunnels wind beneath it. In Cuzco, Peru, there is also a mile of stone-lined tunnels forming a labyrinth beneath their buildings.
More primitive Melchezedians built some of the world’s biggest earthen mounds in what would become the central United States, as at the Indian center of Cahokia, in Illinois:
In most of the world, we still see great walls, Assyrian cities, Buddhist temples, and many other monuments built by people taught basic building and engineering skills by Melchizedek’s. All of them are leading to Melchizedek’s Greatest Work!
Melchizedek built a bridge that is 3,000,000 years long!
As those impressive structures were being put together around the world, Melchizedek did his most important Work: celebrating God’s Most Faithful Person on Earth!
Melchizedek’s Greatest Work was to tell the world that Abraham was God’s most faithful follower. God had Melchizedek bless Abraham by giving him “bread and wine”, prefiguring Catholic Communion (Gen 14:18-20). His DNA combined with Sarah’s to provide the Twelve gene-rations of every generation of the Twelve Tribes of Israel through Abraham and Sarah’s grandson, Jacob.
Then, almost 4,000 years ago, Moses led Twelve Tribes, each with its own variations of “Abraham’s Upgraded DNA”, to Israel. God began to send Prophets to earth. They were blessed The Most Upgraded DNA in the world.
Two thousand years ago, new times and dates came to earth.
He Who Fulfilled more than 300 carefully written Messianic Prophecies appeared among a group of Abraham’s family to whose priests he taught the words with which they learned how to speak, read, and write “The Bible’s Words of God”. God used Prophets, His Pre-Catholic priests, to do the calculations, describe their intentions, and draw the plans to provide The Bible, Political Structures,, and The Temple to God that it was soon time to build.
An overlooked Miracle! Melchizedek helped those Twelve Tribes become more faithful to God, despite being surrounded for four hundred years they lived in Egypt by the most complicated Pyramids and Temples that had ever been built.
Melchizedek taught Babylonian Astronomers how to predict eclipses of the sun and moon and combine that knowledge with God’s Prophecies so well that astronomers could arrive in Jerusalem at the exact time The Son of God came to earth in the Prophesied Village of Bethlehem!
He taught Romans how to make concrete, allowing huge buildings, docks, and other useful structures that let them centralize power more than anyone before.
And, Melchizedek had a more important Work to do! He began to focus on helping God’s obedient people live by Words that God revealed to The Prophets who came after Moses that let many understand The Divine Nature of The Prophesied Messiah well enough to Be Catholic when they connected the “light” of John The Baptist with all the Prophets who preceded him.
Two Thousand years ago, about the time the world’s calendars recognize as the year 1 AD, He Who Fulfilled over 300 Written Prophecies was born. As the Prophets had predicted in Isaiah 7:14, 9:6-7, 11:1-10, Jesus was born to a Virgin of The House of David in the tiny village of Bethlehem, as prophesied by Micah 5:2.
Catholics are blessed to simplify over 13 trillion light-years of God’s Programming History: The Father began to Speak The Creation Program into Being, saying “Let there be light / And there was light”!
“His Light”, began to shine before everyone on earth.
The Son Who Fulfilled the Prophecies proved His Power to Speak things into Being with His Only Church-Creating Word to His First Catholic Pope, 2,000 years ago: “And I say unto you, thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
Melchizedek’s Greatest Work was to give Abraham God’s Blessing of “bread and wine”. He still helps many be blessed to connect that joyful moment with the Call to Catholic Communion that He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies repeated 12 times in the last half of John 6 and twice more at The Last Supper: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood, you do not have life in you.”
Since the days Jesus said that, those who have been blessed to receive That Holy Food have had their “DNA Upgraded” to be among the most blessed people on earth that John 15:14 describes so well: “You are My friends if you obey My commands.”
For 2,000 years, the most faithful followers of God have been blessed to use Melchizedek’s Work to follow Jesus and become Ordained as “priests forever, in The Order of Melchizedek” (Psalm 110:4). Catholics are encouraged by our priests and religious to be Pro-Life in every way. Those who justify the destruction of any human life between conception and natural death condemn their own souls. Galatians 6:7 tells us of their immortal souls’ eternal fate: “As you sow so shall you reap.”
A Simple, Catholic Truth: “Melchizedek got the world prepared so that Jesus could save us.”
Catholics love to think about Details! We move toward Being Catholic when we think clearly about This Detail: “And I say unto you thou art Peter and upon this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
We know that He Who Fulfilled over 300 Messianic Prophecies left “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” to The First Catholic Pope, and we want those “keys” for our immortal souls.
We know that Pope Damasus, a Successor to Peter, asked St. Jerome to compile The Bible. He finished that Great Work on Earth nearly 400 years after The First Pope began to work in Rome.
Some of The Most Important Words in The Bible tell us about how important Melchizedek is to Human History.
Every time we review The Bible Passages that refer to Melchizedek, we more clearly see the importance of his work to every person and people in Human History.
Catholics are blessed to listen to what Moses told his followers in Deuteronomy 10:12-22: “Moses said to the people: ‘And now, Israel, what does The LORD, your God, ask of you but to fear The LORD, your God, and follow His ways exactly, to love and serve The LORD, your God, with all your heart and all your soul, to keep the commandments and statutes of The LORD which I enjoin on you today for your own good?”
Moses followed that announcement with One Command: “Think!”
Catholics are blessed to “think” well enough to realize: “The heavens, even the highest heavens, belong to the LORD, your God, as well as the earth and everything on it.”
Then, Catholics return to thinking about recent History by recalling that cities like Göbekli Tepe began to be built 12,500 years ago.
How do happy Catholics connect dozens of ancient cities, sometimes buried by their builders, with God, Abraham, Moses, the Prophets, Jesus, Peter, and us?
Melchizedek, “King of Salem and priest of God Most High”, is the bridge to the past! From Genesis 14:18-20, Psalm 110;4, and Hebrews 5:6-11 and 7:28, Catholics understand that Jesus is “The High Priest Forever in The Order of Melchizedek.” We know that Melchizedek has been guiding God’s people since he showed them how to chip rocks into weapons, tools, idols, and mediums of exchange, around 2,000,000 years ago, when the earliest chipped stones are found to have been made.
Melchizedek led the earliest priests to show their faith in God by making paint, brushes, and torches for light and making paintings in caves, 50,000 years ago:
Such things in the past help Catholics understand: “God often downloaded people, like Abraham, whose ‘Upgraded DNA’ let them have the greatest faith in God.
Catholics see that this is an actual fact! “When Jesus came, He allowed every person on earth to ‘Upgrade our DNA’ by receiving God’s Body and Blood in Catholic Communion.” Anti-Catholics hate to understand that our Catholic priests and religious have “Upgraded DNA” that blesses them with the will to see and follow God with the bright lights of celibacy, poverty, and obedience.
That “DNA Upgrade” begins with Baptism that happen after birth. That may affect only a few electrons or neutrons that go from – to + inside a few atoms and molecules of our DNA.
For 2,000 years, the devil has tried to keep everyone from the “DNA Upgrade” that allows Catholics to receive The Holy Food Jesus told us to “download” 12 times in John 6 and twice more at His Last Supper: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
Catholics realize: “We are children of God in every way! / We asked God to Upgrade our DNA.”
Another Simple Rhyme: “Catholics are happy to gratefully pray: / ‘God, let everyone Upgrade their DNA.’”
Catholics often return to the small number of Passages about Melchizedek in The Bible!
Oceans are covered with rolling waves. Melchizedek helps us know why the earth has been covered with waves of peoples rolling over lands on earth for millions of years.
The first references to Melchizedek begin in Genesis 14:17-20:
17 After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
18 Then Melchizedek, King of Salem brought out bread and wine. (Only Catholics can see that is a Prophecy of Catholic Communion!) He was priest of God Most High; (The First Catholic priest in Time and Space!)
19 and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
20 And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
St. Paul helps Catholics understand “The Melchizedek Theory of History” in Hebrews 7:1-21. In less than Two Dozen Verses, Catholic learn more History from St. Paul in a few minutes than most people learn in years of going to college!
1.This Melchizedek was King of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham (around 1626 BC) returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,
2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”
3 Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever. (This means that Melchizedek was Programmed before God said “Let there be light and there was light.”, over 13 trillion light-years ago!
Catholics have wondered for 2,000 years if Melchizedek is still with us. One other person in the Bible, St. John’s lifetime may be described in The Word of Jesus about John to His First Catholic Pope in John 21:22, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, you must follow Me.”
4 Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!
5 Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham.
6 This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
Catholics understand! Paul tells us in The Bible tells that Melchizedek was more important than Abraham because:
7 And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8 In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living. (Catholics see the blessings God gives to His Catholic priests, religious, and people who are “declared to be living”!)
9 One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham,
10 because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.
God used St. Paul to ask the question about why God had to replace the Levitical “priesthood”:
11 If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come, one in The Order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?
Melchizedek laid The Foundation for God to take Human Form on earth, and fulfill over 300 Prophecies, because there was “need for another priest to come, one in the Order of Melchizedek”.
12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also.
13 He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar.
14 For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that Tribe, Moses said nothing about priests.
(The old priests are replaced by those Ordained in The Order of Melchizedek in which Jesus is described):
15 And what we have said is even clearer if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
16 one who has become a priest not based on a regulation as to his ancestry but based on the power of an indestructible life. (The “indestructible life” comes from the “DNA Upgrade”
Again! The fact that Jesus replaced Melchizedek is shown in the Honor given to all Catholic priests and religious for the past 2,000 years:
17 For it is declared: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”
The clergy of many faiths were angry about God’s replacement of those making a living in every religion, but the Levitical priesthood was the angriest because their beliefs were specifically described in a very negative way:
18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
20 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath,
21 but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest forever in the Order of Melchizekek.”
Jesus, Who Fulfilled The Messianic Prophecies, replaced the Levitical priesthood with The Power of Melchizedek to provide Christ’s Body and Blood to all who are blessed to obey His Church-Creating Word to His First Catholic Pope: “And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
The Work of Melchizedek continues until “Heaven and earth shall pass away”. May all be blessed to be as Catholic as we can before Judgment. A Simple Rhyme helps Catholics realize:
“Melchizedek helps us understand, / to be as Catholic as we can.”
Catholics can see Melchizedek at Work on behalf of God’s People in a Bible Reading, from Ezra 9:5-9:
“At the time of the evening sacrifice, I, Ezra, rose in my wretchedness, and with cloak and mantle torn, I fell on my knees, stretching out my hands to The LORD, my God.” (That prayer was Melchizedek at Work in Ezra’s mind and spirit!)
“I said: ‘My God, I am too ashamed and confounded to raise my face to you, O my God, for our wicked deeds are heaped up above our heads and our guilt reaches up to heaven.” (That understanding was Melchizedek at Work!)
“From the time of our fathers even to this day great has been our guilt, and for our wicked deeds we have been delivered up, we and our kings and our priests, to the will of the kings of foreign lands, to the sword, to captivity, to pillage, and to disgrace, as is the case today.” (All that was Melchizedek at Work!)
“And now, but a short time ago, mercy came to us from the LORD, our God, Who left us a remnant and gave us a stake in His holy place; thus our God has brightened our eyes and given us relief in our servitude.
For slaves we are, but in our servitude our God has not abandoned us; rather, He has turned the good will of the kings of Persia toward us. Thus He has given us new life to raise again the house of our God and restore its ruins, and has granted us a fence in Judah and Jerusalem.” (All that was Melchizedek at Work!)
~
Tobit was guided by The Archangel Raphael (Tobit 5:4-5). Sadly, the profiteers of anti-Catholic Marketing Plans took that Book out of their Bible to keep donors giving money to them, instead of seeking the guidance of God and Melchizedek:
“Blessed be God, who lives for ever. He scourges and then has mercy; He casts down to the depths of the nether world, and He brings up from the great abyss. No one can escape His hand. Praise him, you children of Israel, before the Gentiles, for though He has scattered you among them, He has shown you his greatness even there.” (“Scattering the children of Israel among the Gentiles” was Melchizedek at Work!)
Catholics realize the Grandchildren of Abraham, the Children of Jacob, began to be “scattered among the Gentiles”. In a few generations, their descendants had filled the farms and villages of Israel. So, for more than a thousand years, hundreds of thousands left those families in every generation to join Jewish outposts between India and Ireland. They became Celts, Lombards, Danes, Saxons, and the dozens of peoples who would remember Gods “greatness” well enough to Be Catholic when the first Catholic priests “Ordained in the order of Melchizedek” arrived to bring them into The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church whose blessings they spread around the world.
Then, The Bible Passages that Catholics sometimes use as an “Alleluia” in Catholic Masses tells us in Mark 1:15 that “The Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel.” Melchizedek’s Work had made the way for The Prophesied Messiah to come to earth!
When He Who Fulfilled over 300 Messianic Prophecies arrived, Luke 9:1-6 tells us what He gave to His First Catholic Bishops! “Jesus summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and He sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic.
Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there.
And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in testimony against them.”
Then they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the good news and curing diseases everywhere.”
Catholics see: Melchizedek had worked successfully to Make The World Ready for Jesus! Melchizedek still works to lead many to respect The Prophecies enough to obey He Who Fulfilled them.
A Simple Rhyme: “Past, present, and future are all One / When seen through the eyes of God and His Son!”
Afterword:
Catholics are blessed to Thank God for giving us Melchizedek to help us get “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” that Jesus sacrificed His Human Life to give to His First Pope in Matthew 16:18-20, “And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
Focusing our thoughts on Melchizedek helps many be blessed to be as Catholic as we can.
Then our souls may be blessed by having our Original Sins washed away by The Power of The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in Baptism. Then, with the Sacrament of Confession, we have our sins taken from us by The Power or our priests to provide Absolution. Then, those blessed to Be Catholic may receive The Actual Body and Blood of God’s Beloved Son by The Miracle of Transubstantiation at every Catholic Communion, providing “the bread and wine” Melchizedek first gave to Abraham to us by The Catholic Miracle of Transubstantiation! After that, our Faith is confirmed by The Sacrament of Confirmation as we move into adulthood.
Then, many are blessed by living lives pleasing to God in The Sacrament of Marriage. Some hear a Higher Calling to be Ordained among Catholic priests and religious with The Sacrament of Holy Orders.
At the end of our time on earth, our souls leave our bodies and are sent on the way to Heaven by The Last Rites.
May all be blessed to be as Catholic as we can! Seeing the ongoing help of Melchizedek and the Catholics who have made the world a better place for the past 2,000 years is a great help in moving us closer to God by Catholic priests and religious blessed to be “ordained in The Order of Melchizedek”!
