The Mystery! Who, in the first 13 trillion light years of God’s History, is describing himself in Proverbs 8:22-31? “Thus says the wisdom of God: ‘The LORD possessed me, the beginning of His ways, the forerunner of His prodigies of long ago; from of old I was poured forth, at the first, before the earth.’”
The Speaker is clear about his ancient beginning: “When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no fountains or springs of water; before the mountains were settled into place, before the hills, I was brought forth; while as yet the earth and fields were not made, nor the first clods of the world.”
The Speaker goes on to tell us of the first 13 trillion light-years of Creation: “When the Lord established the heavens I was there, when He marked out the vault over the face of the deep; when He made firm the skies above, when He fixed fast the foundations of the earth; when He set for the sea its limit, so that the waters should not transgress his command; then was I beside Him as His craftsman, and I wasHis delight day by day, playing before Him all the while, playing on the surface of his earth; and I found delight in the human race.”
Who is The Speaker who came into being 13 trillion light-years ago, before The Lord said “Let there be light.” Exactly Who “found delight in the human race”?
Catholics may have solved The Mystery! We realize The Speaker might be Melchizedek, who “found delight” in validating Abraham’s ownership of The Holy Land to which God led him and provided what would become the Catholic Mass in Genesis 14:16-20. “Then, Melchizedek, King of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying: ‘Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. And praise be to God Most High, Who delivered your enemies into your hand.” and received a tenth of everything he had.
In Hebrews 7:3, Melchizedek is described: “Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning or days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever in The Order of Melchizedek.”
Melchizedek may have been the guide for countless Tribes of Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons, and others around the ancient world who worshiped God by making paintings and carvings in countless caves around the world. Each is a memorial to Melchizedek, who guided them as close to God as they could be led.
