● Gen 14:18 . . Melchizedek was a priest of God Most High.
Mel was active in Palestine something like +/- 400 years prior to establishing the
covenant that Moses' people entered into with God per Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers,
and Deuteronomy; and as the covenant isn't retroactive (Deut 5:2-4 & Gal 3:17)
then none of the covenant's curses for non compliance applied to him. (Rom 4:15 &
Rom 5:12-13)
Now if none of the covenant's curses for non compliance applied to Mel, then
neither did they apply to the folks for whom his priesthood ministered; which at the
time included Abraham (a.k.a. Abram)
Seeing as how Jesus' priesthood is patterned after Mel's (Ps 110:4 & Heb 5:1-10)
then as it was for Mel and Abraham, so it is for Jesus and the folks for whom he
ministers.
The measure of immunity available to folks via the priesthood order of Melchizedek
is quite an advantage-- it's practically a license to steal, so to speak --and I could
only wish everybody knew about it because there are folks out there whose slipshod
compliance with the Ten Commandments has them on a direct path toward a terrifying
destination.
