Melchizedek is “God’s Eternal “Priest”. He was first mentioned in Genesis 14:18-20, when he gave God’s Blessing to Abraham. He is described by St. Paul in The Book of Hebrews 7:3 as “without father, without mother, without geneology, having neither beginning of days or end of life, but made like The Son of God, he remains a priest forever.” Paul learned that from Gamaliel, the greatest of Hebrew scholars. He lets us realize today that God used Melchizedek to lead people to worship Him before our ancestors began to paint symbols of their faith in caves, fifty thousand years ago.
Catholics’ new “Melchizedekian History” (read that word slowly and remember it!) begins with the fact that Melchizedek has been guiding the most blessed of peoples to God, even before he led them to make the first cave paintings by taking light from flaming torches, and paint made from plants, animals, and minerals into dark caverns, 60,000 years ago, and leaving pictorial proof of their faith.
Then, around 12,000 BC, Melchizedek guided the people near the border of Turkey and Syria to build dozens of huge, recently discovered stone cities around Göbekli Tepe, near the border of Turkey and Syria.
Catholics realize that archaeologists have unknowingly been studying what we see as “Melchizedekian History”! They found that the people of Göbekli Tepe spent the next 4,000 years living peacefully and building dozens of nearby cities. Those carefully excavated cities show no signs of wars or destruction. Around 8,000 BC, those peaceful people buried their stone cities, statues, and buildings beneath huge mounds of earth. Then, Melchizedek led tribes of them throughout the world!
Catholics had to invent a new word: “Melchizedekians”. That word describes all who came before and after Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons. Then, Abraham was chosen from among all the Melchizedekians on earth to receive God’s love for him in what prefigured The First Catholic Communion, when Melchizedek gave Abraham “bread and wine” at Jerusalem, nearly 4,000 years ago.
Catholics understand History! Melchizedek led the descendants of those who left the Göbekli Tepe cities to leave their area. Some relocated to Egypt, where they built the Pyramids, 2,000 years later. Melchizedek led others to Mexico, where they built The Great Pyramid of Cholula in Mexico, with twice the volume of The Great Pyramid of Gaza, 2,000 years after that.
Countless circular centers were built in Ireland, Germany and Europe. Stonehenge in England, and all the huge structures on both sides of the Great Wall of China were built by different groups of Melchizedekians whose God-given organizational abilities put them in charge of all the peoples on earth.
In Today’s Catholic Bible Reading, we learn from Haggai 1:1-8 that “Melchizedekian History” continued. When Abraham’s people returned from Babylon, many of them wanted to “build and live in their own, panelled homes”. God, not Melchizedek, directly told them what to do! “Thus says The LORD of hosts: ‘Consider your ways! Go up into the hill country; bring timber, and build the house that I may take pleasure in it and receive My glory.’ says the LORD.”
God replaced Melchizedek as the teacher of His People. The Temple was rebuilt! 1,500 years later, He Who Fulfilled over 300 Messianic Prophecies spoke One Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Into Being with His Church-Creating Word to His First Catholic Pope!
Finally: Over thirteen trillion light-years after God said “Let there be light and there was light!”, all the Melchizedekians on earth could Be Catholic!
“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.”
What is The Greatest Blessing of Being Catholic? For 2,000 years, only our Catholic priests have been “Ordained in The Order of Melchidek.”!
