Manche Bibelstellen sind verborgene Juwelen: Man erkennt erst auf den zweiten Blick, welcher unglaubliche Wert sich hier verbirgt. Abram begegnet Melchisedek, dem König der Gerechtigkeit und Fürst des Friedens.

En Melchisedek, de koning van Salem, bood hem brood en wijn aan. Daar hij priester was van God de Allerhoogste, zegende hij hem met deze woorden: `Gezegend zij Abram door God de Allerhoogste, die de hemel en de aarde gemaakt heeft, en gezegend zij God de Allerhoogste, die uw vijand aan u heeft overgeleverd!’ En […]

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs: - 596 (in 'Divisions among the Jewish authorities concerning Jesus') - The religious authorities in Jerusalem were not unanimous about what stance to take towards Jesus. The Pharisees threatened to excommunicate his followers. To those who feared that "everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our holy place and our nation", the high priest Caiaphas replied by prophesying: "It is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish." (abbreviated) - 58 (in 'the Covenant with Noah') - The covenant with Noah remains in force during the times of the Gentiles, until the universal proclamation of the Gospel. The Bible venerates several great figures among the Gentiles: Abel the just, the king-priest Melchisedek - a figure of Christ - and the upright "Noah, Daniel, and Job". Scripture thus expresses the heights of sanctity that can be reached by those who live according to the covenant of Noah, waiting for Christ to "gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad". - 60 (in 'God chooses Abraham') - The people descended from Abraham would be the trustee of the promise made to the patriarchs, the chosen people, called to prepare for that day when God would gather all his children into the unity of the Church. They would be the root on to which the Gentiles would be grafted, once they came to believe. - 706 (in 'The Spirit of the Promise') - Against all human hope, God promises descendants to Abraham, as the fruit of faith and of the power of the Holy Spirit. In Abraham's progeny all the nations of the earth will be blessed. This progeny will be Christ himself, in whom the outpouring of the Holy Spirit will "gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad." (abbreviated) - 2793 (in 'Our Father') - The baptized cannot pray to "our" Father without bringing before him all those for whom he gave his beloved Son. God's love has no bounds, neither should our prayer. Praying "our" Father opens to us the dimensions of his love revealed in Christ: praying with and for all who do not yet know him, so that Christ may "gather into one the children of God."

The conversation continues with a look back in time to the origins of the current global financial system as well as how it differed from how money was used in ancient civilizations prior to 11,000 years ago. Other topics include how gold and silver came to be recognized as a means of monetary exchange, how slavery is the basis for the current financial system, how human beings are giving away their spiritual energy to world leaders thereby diminishing their access to their own cosmic bank account. The episode concludes with a discussion of how the billionaires use rituals and kabbalistic teachings to siphon spiritual energy from the general population in order to obtain their wealth and how human beings can take it back.About Micheila Sheldan Micheila Sheldan is an intuitive channel, Executive Director of the Flower of Life Institute and Marketing Director of the Awake and Empowered Expo.

We've been talking over the past several weeks about your Melchizedek priesthood in Christ, in our last session, we were talking about who Melchizedek was and what he was doing on the earth Melchizedek? According to the scripture was the Old Testament appearance of the Holy Spirit to Abraham that aspect of the Godhead, the holy spirit being the only part of the godhead who was ever been continually on the Earth from the Ian in Genesis 1 verse 2. He's called in scripture priest after an endless life in the book of Hebrews chapter 5 and again in chapter 7, he is called King of righteousness without father or mother and priest after an endless life. King of righteousness is a title that belongs only to God. And it says that he is made like unto the Son of God. So we know that he is not Jesus the Christ as some claim.Listen for more...Scripture referenced:Hebrews 5 & 7Genesis 1:2For more Free books, Sunday teachings and bible studies, or is you would like to make a love offering, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.orgDr. Bern Zumpano is a Pastor and Teacher of the Word of God who has authored several books on Spirit-filled living through relationship with Jesus Christ and walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit. Bern has not only been a born-again believer for nearly the past 40 years, but also dedicated 31 years of his life to the study and clinical practice of medicine and surgery in the fields of psychiatry and brain surgery. He has held medical school professorships in psychiatry and neurosurgery and worked in private practice in both areas. Bern has an immense background in understanding the physical body, as well as the soul - the mind, will, and emotions - not only from a medical standpoint but also from a spiritual standpoint. With his background and training, he has been led by the Holy Spirit to teach "the Deep Things of God" (1 Cor. 2:10) with an emphasis on Spiritual Warfare (Jer. 51:20), Breaking Generations' Curses (Ex. 20:5; Lev. 26:40-44), walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit (John 14:12; 1 Cor. 4:20; Luke 17:21) and "the Restoration of All Things" (Acts 3:21). We at Word of Faith Ministries International-Miami hope and pray that these teachings of the Holy Spirit through Bern will edify and regenerate your spirit to gain a deeper understanding of God's Word and His truths so you can have a deeper and more intimate relationship with Him. May God bless you all!!

We've been talking over the past several sessions, about the priesthood of the believer, Revelation 1:6 says that you are a priest and King unto, your God New Testament. Scripture also says you are a royal priesthood, a holy nation. The only royal priesthood of scripture is the Melchizedek priesthood mentioned in Genesis 14 for the first time. And then again in the book of Hebrews chapters 5 & 7 where Melchizedek, who is the Holy Spirit, the only part of the godhead who has been on the earth from the beginning of the creation and who appeared to Abraham and it is this Melchizedek who is referred to as king of righteousness, king of peace without lineage that is without father or mother priest unto the most high God and priest after an endless life. Those characteristics refer only to the godhead in Melchizedek, therefore is the Holy Spirit.Listen for more...Scripture referenced:Revelation 1:6Hebrews 5 & 7For more Free books, Sunday teachings and bible studies, or is you would like to make a love offering, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.orgDr. Bern Zumpano is a Pastor and Teacher of the Word of God who has authored several books on Spirit-filled living through relationship with Jesus Christ and walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit. Bern has not only been a born-again believer for nearly the past 40 years, but also dedicated 31 years of his life to the study and clinical practice of medicine and surgery in the fields of psychiatry and brain surgery.

We have been talking over the past several weeks about Melchizedek described in Genesis 14 as priest of the most high God. Melchizedek deck is also referred there as king of Salem, who met Abraham and the return of the battle of the Kings and brought Bread and Wine. Now, Melchizedek as we learn is the Holy spirit in Hebrews. 7:2, it says that Abraham gave a tenth part of all to him and that was a form of worship. He tithed and it continues in Hebrew 7:2 regarding Melchizedek first being by interpretation king of righteousness. And after that also, king of Salem, which is king of Peace in verse 3, it continues without father without mother without descent having neither, beginning of days, nor end of life.Listen for more...Scripture referenced:Hebrews. 7:2-3For more Free books, Sunday teachings and bible studies, or is you would like to make a love offering, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.orgDr. Bern Zumpano is a Pastor and Teacher of the Word of God who has authored several books on Spirit-filled living through relationship with Jesus Christ and walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit. Bern has not only been a born-again believer for nearly the past 40 years, but also dedicated 31 years of his life to the study and clinical practice of medicine and surgery in the fields of psychiatry and brain surgery.

We have been talking about our Melchisedec priesthood in Christ. In our previous sessions, we defined who Melchizedek was. In Genesis 14, He appears to Abraham after the battle of the Kings, bringing Bread and Wine and Abraham revered him referred to him as Lord in Genesis 17 and in Hebrews chapters 5, 6. and 7 there are various references to him and he is indeed called King of righteousness without lineage without mother and father that is, Ancient of Days and a priest unto an endless life. In Genesis 14, he is referred to as priest of the most high god. Well, Melchizedek obviously was a spiritual being.Listen for more...Scripture referenced:Revelation 1:6John 3:3, 6:63Romans 8:29, 11:361 John 3:2-7, 4:17Act 17:28-30Ephesians 2:22, 4:4, 4:13-15Hebrews 7:16Matthew 12:371 Corinthians 4:20For more Free books, Sunday teachings and bible studies, or is you would like to make a love offering, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.orgDr. Bern Zumpano is a Pastor and Teacher of the Word of God who has authored several books on Spirit-filled living through relationship with Jesus Christ and walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit. Bern has not only been a born-again believer for nearly the past 40 years, but also dedicated 31 years of his life to the study and clinical practice of medicine and surgery in the fields of psychiatry and brain surgery.

We are talking about your Melchizedek priesthood in Christ. To go a little deeper into the understanding of who Melchizedek was we turn now to Genesis 14 and we read from verses 17 to 20 as Abraham was returning from the Battle of the Kings and the king of Sodom, went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him at the valley of Shaveh, which is the Kingsdale and Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth Bread and Wine. And he was the priest of the most high God and he blessed him and said, Blessed Be Abram of the most high, God possessor of Heaven, and Earth, and blessed. Be the most high God, which has delivered your enemies into your hand and he gave him, tithes of all, that is Abraham gave Mel tithes of all.Listen for more...Scripture referenced:Genesis 14:17-20, Genesis 17:1-7-15, Genesis 18:1, Genesis 21:1John 14:12Hebrews 5:7Revelation 1:6Jeremiah 29:11For more Free books, Sunday teachings and bible studies, or is you would like to make a love offering, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.orgDr. Bern Zumpano is a Pastor and Teacher of the Word of God who has authored several books on Spirit-filled living through relationship with Jesus Christ and walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit. Bern has not only been a born-again believer for nearly the past 40 years, but also dedicated 31 years of his life to the study and clinical practice of medicine and surgery in the fields of psychiatry and brain surgery.

Stell dir vor, es ist Krieg. Nur wenige Kilometer von dir entfernt. Und du sitzt Zuhause und genießt den Frieden Gottes. So war es auch zur Zeit Abrahams. Dieser Glaubensmann saß in einer so schwierigen Zeit unter seiner Terebinthe und setzte sein ganzes Vertrauen auf Gott. Wie ist das möglich? Und dann hatte Abraham noch diese seltsame Begegnung mit Melchisedek, die im Hebräerbrief noch einmal aufgegriffen wird. Was hat uns das nun zu sagen?

11 Wenn nun das levitische Priestertum zur Vollkommenheit führen könnte – und das Gesetz, das unserem Volk gegeben wurde, kennt ja kein anderes Priestertum –, wäre es dann nötig gewesen, einen Priester einzusetzen, der zu einer ganz anderen Ordnung gehört – einen Priester wie Melchisedek und nicht einen wie Aaron? 12 Und wohlgemerkt: Eine Änderung der priesterlichen […]

4 Wie bedeutend Melchisedek war, seht ihr daran, dass kein Geringerer als Abraham, der Stammvater unseres Volkes, ihm den besten Teil seiner Beute als Zehnten gab. 5 Nach den Bestimmungen des Gesetzes steht der Zehnte denen zu, denen das Priesteramt übertragen ist, den Nachkommen von Levi, und sie erheben ihn vom Volk, also von ihren Brüdern, die […]

1 Was wissen wir denn von Melchisedek? Er war – wie es in der Schrift heißt – König von Salem und Priester des höchsten Gottes. Als Abraham siegreich vom Kampf gegen die Könige zurückkehrte, ging – so wird uns berichtet – Melchisedek ihm entgegen und segnete ihn, 2 und Abraham gab ihm den zehnten Teil von allem, […]

Who is Melchisedek?

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6951OMELIA CORPUS DOMINI - ANNO C (Lc 9,11-17)Oggi celebriamo la solennità del Corpo e Sangue di Cristo. È dunque la festa dell'Eucaristia. L'Eucaristia è il dono per eccellenza, poiché è Gesù stesso che si dona a noi nelle sembianze di un po' di pane e di un po' di vino.Le letture di oggi ci aiutano a comprendere, per quanto è possibile, la grandezza di questo dono. La prima lettura ricorda la più antica figura di Cristo Sacerdote: Melchisedek, re di Salem e sacerdote del Dio Altissimo che, in ringraziamento a Dio per la vittoria ottenuta da Abramo, offre un sacrificio di "pane e vino". Questo sacrificio fatto a Dio del pane e del vino simboleggia il sacrificio dell'Eucaristia. E Melchisedek, questo misterioso personaggio di cui l'Antico Testamento non ci dà alcuna indicazione, è una prefigurazione, ovvero una anticipazione profetica, di Gesù Cristo vero Sacerdote che congiunge la terra al Cielo. Il Salmo responsoriale dice di Lui: «Tu sei sacerdote per sempre al modo di Melchisedek».La seconda lettura ci presenta l'Istituzione dell'Eucaristia. San Paolo, scrivendo ai Corinzi, riporta il racconto dell'Ultima Cena di Gesù con i suoi Apostoli. Durante l'Ultima Cena avvenne il più grande miracolo, miracolo che si perpetua ad ogni celebrazione della Santa Messa: il pane muta di sostanza e diventa il Corpo di Cristo, e così pure il vino che si trasforma nel Sangue Preziosissimo del Redentore.L'Eucaristia che Gesù stringeva tra le sue mani durante l'Ultima Cena è lo stesso suo Corpo che a distanza di pochi giorni è stato immolato sulla Croce, ed è lo stesso Corpo che, ogni volta, riceviamo alla Comunione. Durante l'Ultima Cena, dunque, Gesù anticipò il Sacrificio che compì sul Calvario e disse agli Apostoli: «Fate questo in memoria di me» (1Cor 11,25). Fin dal suo sorgere, la Chiesa ha sempre obbedito a questo comando del Signore, celebrando la Messa ogni giorno. Non si tratta di un semplice ricordo di un avvenimento passato, in quanto l'Eucaristia rende presente, in modo sacramentale, lo stesso Sacrificio del Calvario.Anche il Vangelo di oggi parla dell'Eucaristia, di cui il miracolo della moltiplicazione dei pani e dei pesci è anch'esso un'anticipazione profetica. Gesù prende i pani, eleva gli occhi al cielo, li benedice, li spezza e li distribuisce. Tutti questi gesti saranno poi ripetuti durante l'Ultima Cena. Per compiere il miracolo della moltiplicazione dei pani e dei pesci, Gesù si servì dell'aiuto dei suoi Apostoli; per compiere invece il Miracolo Eucaristico, Gesù si avvale dei suoi sacerdoti, i quali sono come i suoi tesorieri.Il Vangelo dice che «tutti mangiarono a sazietà» (Lc 9,17). L'Eucaristia, soltanto l'Eucaristia, può saziare ogni nostro desiderio. Tutto il resto, anche le ricchezze e i beni di questo mondo, ci lasceranno sempre vuoti e insoddisfatti.Come proposito pratico, impegniamoci a partecipare con più amore all'Eucaristia domenicale e a ricevere spesso la Comunione. Ricordiamoci però che, per ricevere la Comunione, bisogna essere in grazia di Dio. Quindi, se uno è consapevole di essere in peccato mortale, deve prima confessarsi. In questi nostri tempi spesso si è pensato che questa norma fosse ormai decaduta, come qualcosa di superato. La Chiesa, invece, continua a ribadirla. L'ultimo Catechismo così riporta: «Chi è consapevole di aver commesso un peccato grave, deve ricevere il Sacramento della Riconciliazione, prima di accedere alla Comunione» (CCC, n. 1385). Ciò significa che, per quanto grande possa essere il nostro pentimento, se si è in peccato mortale, bisogna prima confessarsi dal sacerdote. Anche il papa Giovanni Paolo II, in una sua lettera Enciclica, ha ripetuto questo insegnamento, dichiarando: «Desidero quindi ribadire che vige e vigerà sempre nella Chiesa la norma [...] che, al fine di una degna ricezione dell'Eucaristia, si deve premettere la confessione dei peccati, quando uno è conscio di peccato mortale».

Dzisiaj czwarta część historii Jerozolimy, czyli okres pod panowaniem rzymskim. Były to bardzo ciekawe czasy. Właśnie wtedy w Palestynie pojawił się Jezus. Był to też okres gdy upadał republika rzymska i rodziło się cesarstwo. Jak jednak doszło do tego, że Judea znalazła się pod rzymskim panowaniem? Wiele osób sobie wyobraża, że Rzymianie podbili Judeę. Nic bardziej błędnego.W poprzednim odcinku mówiłem o czasach gdy Judea znajdowała się pomiędzy dwoma greckimi królestwami. Na północy była Syria gdzie rządzili Seleucydowie, a na południu Egipt, gdzie rządzili Ptolemeusze. W Judei wybuchło powstanie Machabeuszy zwanych też Hasmoneuszami. Byli oni królami z rodu kapłańskiego. Biblia w Psalmie 110:4 zapowiadała: “Tyś kapłanem na wieki według porządku Melchisedeka”. Ten wspomniany Melchisedek był jednocześnie królem i kapłanem, a rządził w Salem czyli w Jerozolimie. Teraz pojawili się królowie, którzy tak jak tamten Melchisedek także byli kapłanami. Czy wierzyli, że tak spełnili proroctwo?Tak więc przez jakiś czas istniało państwo Hasmoneuszy pomiędzy dwoma królestwami greckimi. Wtedy przybyli Rzymianie pod wodzą Pompejusza Wielkiego. W tym czasie w Judei trwała wojna domowa pomiędzy Arystobulem i Janem Hirkanem. Gdy na północy pojawili się Rzymianie obaj bracia zaczęli prosić ich o pomoc i rozstrzygnięcie sporu. Innymi słowy poddali się pod rzymskie panowanie. Zgodzili się płacić podatki. Zgodzili się także na to, że Rzymianie będą decydować kto ma rządzić w Judei. Mówiłem już o tym podczas omawiania rodziny Heroda Wielkiego. Zarówno on sam jak i jego synowie dostawali władzę od Rzymian.Rzymianie ostatecznie przekazali władzę nie kapłanom z rodu Hasmoneuszy, ale ich doradcom i właśnie w ten sposób do władzy doszedł Herod Wielki oraz później jego potomkowie. Herod został nazwany Wielkim z tego samego powodu co nasz Kazimierz Wielki. Herod budował dużo. Przebudował świątynię w Jerozolimie oraz zbudował wiele nowych budynków i całych miast. Mówiłem o tym w odcinku 11 poświęconym budowlom Heroda Wielkiego.W Jerozolimie były wtedy przynajmniej trzy stronnictwa. Saduceusze było to stronnictwo bogatych kapłanów. Faryzeusze było to stronnictwo z którego wyrósł współczesny rabinizm. Istniało jednak jeszcze jedno stronnictwo. W Mateusza rozdziale 22 czytamy o tym jak te skłócone ze sobą stronnictwa próbują złapać Jezusa jakimś podchwytliwym pytaniem. Faryzeusze pytają o najważniejsze prawo, Saduceusze o kwestię zmartwychwstania. W wersetach 16 i 17 czytamy o jeszcze jednej próbie: “Wysłali do niego uczniów swoich wraz z Herodianami, którzy powiedzieli: Nauczycielu, wiemy, że jesteś szczery i drogi Bożej w prawdzie uczysz, i na nikim ci nie zależy, albowiem nie oglądasz się na osobę ludzką. Powiedz nam przeto: Jak ci się zdaje? Czy należy płacić podatek cesarzowi, czy nie?”Herodianie to było stronnictwo Heroda. Herod dostał władzę od Rzymian, którzy w zamian żądali podatków. Faryzeusze byli przeciwni ich płaceniu, a stronnictwo Heroda je popierało. Ponieważ do Jezusa przyszli razem nie miało znaczenia co on odpowie. Gdyby powiedział, że należy płacić Faryzeusze by go oskarżyli o sprzyjanie Rzymianom. Gdyby jednak powiedział, że nie trzeba zostałby pewnie uwięziony przez tych stronników Heroda. Jak wiemy Jezusa jednak wybrnął z tej pułapki.Wśród Żydów było jednak wielu, którzy byli przeciwni dominacji Rzymu i płaceniu podatków. Doprowadziło to do wybuchu powstania w 66 roku. Rzymianie pod wodzą Cestiusza Gallusa oblegli Jerozolimę. Walczyli tam przez 6 dni i podobno już prawie zwyciężali gdy Gallus odwołał oblężenie i wycofał się spod murów Jerozolimy. Żydzi ruszyli za nim i atakowali jego wojska. Podobno Gallus umarł ze wstydu w Syrii. Dowódcą wojska mianowano przyszłego cesarza Wespazjana, który wraz ze swoim synem Tytusem zaczął walczyć z powstańcami żydowskimi. W 69 roku Wespazjan został ogłoszony cesarzem, a więc w 70 roku pod Jerozolimę podszedł jego syn Tytus.W jego obozie oprócz żołnierzy byli także Żydzi. Tytus miał więźnia o imieniu Józef, który potem przybrał nazwisko Flawiusz. Tak się nazywali Wespazjan i Tytus. Ten żydowski historyk pod tym imieniem - Józef Flawiusz opisał “Wojnę Żydowską”. W obozie Tytusa była także Berenika, prawnuczka Heroda Wielkiego. Prosiła ona podobno, żeby Tytus oszczędził świątynię zbudowaną przez jej pradziadka. Mimo tego, że była kochanką Tytusa jej życzenie nie zostało spełnione. Jerozolima została zniszczona, świątynia spalona, a mury rozwalone. Zgodnie ze słowami Jezusa “nie pozostał tam kamień na kamieniu”.Według Józefa Flawiusza świątynia została splądrowana i spalona w rocznicę zniszczenia pierwszej świątyni, którą kilkaset lat wcześniej zniszczył Nabuchodonozor. Gdyby tak rzeczywiście było byłby to niezły zbieg okoliczności. Jednak czytając Józefa Flawiusza trzeba pamiętać, że trochę koloryzował. Jerozolima została zdobyta przez Rzymian 8 września 70 roku n.e. Na tym zakończę. Oczywiście historia Jerozolimy pod panowaniem Rzymian, później Persów, potem znowu Rzymian, potem Bizancjum itd. jest bardzo ciekawa, ale to już raczej nie jest historia biblijna.Przysiągł Pan i nie pożałuje: Tyś kapłanem na wieki według porządku Melchisedeka (Psalm 110:4)http://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Ksiega-Psalmow/110/4I wysłali do niego uczniów swoich wraz z Herodianami, którzy powiedzieli: Nauczycielu, wiemy, że jesteś szczery i drogi Bożej w prawdzie uczysz, i na nikim ci nie zależy, albowiem nie oglądasz się na osobę ludzką. Powiedz nam przeto: Jak ci się zdaje? Czy należy płacić podatek cesarzowi, czy nie? (Mateusza 22:16-17)http://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Ewangelia-Mateusza/22/16

W języku polskim miasta najczęściej są rodzaju żeńskiego. Z tego też powodu miasto Jeruzalem zwykle po polsku nazywa się Jerozolima. Uczeni debatują nad tą nazwą. Chyba najpopularniejsza teoria dzieli słowo “Jeruzalem” na dwie części: “jer” oraz “salem”. Pierwsze słowo tłumaczy się na miasto, podwalinę lub posiadłość, a drugie słowo czyli “salem” lub “szalom” oznacza pokój. To drugie słowo występuje jednak w liczbie podwójnej. Ale co to znaczy?Liczba podwójna istniała też kiedyś w polszczyźnie. Dziś mamy w polskim tylko liczbę pojedynczą, np. pokój oraz mnogą np. pokoje. Kiedyś istniała jednak także liczba podwójna gdy coś było w parze. Dobrym przykładem jest liczebnik “sto”. Jego odmiana zachowała się w kolejnych liczebnikach. Mówimy: sto, dwieście i trzysta. Czyli liczba pojedyncza to była i jest “sto”, liczba podwójna “ście”, a liczba mnoga to “sta”. Liczba podwójna w polskim zachowała się w przysłowiach, np. “Mądrej głowie dość dwie słowie” czy “Trzy gęsi, dwie niewieście uczyniły jarmark w mieście”.Wracając do Jerozolimy, całość można przetłumaczyć jako “Miasto podwójnego pokoju”. Bo mamy tam dwa słowa, czyli miasto lub miejsce, a potem słowo pokój, ale to słowo jest w liczbie podwójnej. Tak więc dwa słowa hebrajskie wielu tłumaczy przedstawia jako trzy słow polskie, czyli “Miejsce podwójnego pokoju”. Czemu “podwójnego pokoju”? Pierwszy raz w Biblii to miasto pojawia się w Rodzaju 14:18, czytamy tam: “Melchisedek zaś, król Salemu, wyniósł chleb i wino. A był on kapłanem Boga Najwyższego”. Jest prawdopodobne, że miasto Salem istniało tam, gdzie później Jerozolima. Dlaczego jednak zmieniono nazwę z Salem czyli “pokój” na “podwójny pokój”?Istnieją co najmniej dwa wyjaśnienia. Po pierwsze podwójny pokój to dużo więcej pokoju, czyli chciano uwypuklić pokój, jaki zapewnia Jerozolima, jej król oraz świątynia, która tam stanęła. Druga wersja nawiązuje do dwóch wzgórz. Na jednym czyli na Syjonie zamieszkał król Dawid, a na drugim wzgórzu o nazwie Moria jego syn zbudował świątynię. Dodatkowo syn Dawida, który był po nim królem to oczywiście Salomon, a to imię także powstało od słowa “pokój'. Tak więc mamy miasto, które nazywa się “miejsce podwójnego pokoju”, w którym rządził król, którego imię znaczy “pokój”, a w jego czasach zabudowano drugie wzgórze, na którym stanęła świątynia. Ale wróćmy do historii tego miasta.Tradycja Żydowska mówi, że miasto Salem, w którym królem był Melchizedek znajdowało się na górze znanej później jako Syjon. Zaraz obok stała góra Moria, na której później Salomon zbudował świątynię. Wg tradycji na tej górze właśnie Abraham miał próbować złożyć swojego syna w ofierze. Innymi słowy w czasach Abrahama na górze Syjon miał rządzić król i kapłan Melchizedek, a na pobliskiej górze Moria Abraham miał przejść największą próbę swojego życia. Później jednak górę i miasto musieli przejąć Kananejczycy. Skąd o tym wiemy?Kanaan czyli Ziemia Obiecana znajdowała się pod panowaniem Egipcjan. Zachowały się więc listy znane jako listy z Amarny. Jest to korespondencja pomiędzy władcami Egiptu a ich wasalami w Kanaanie. W jednym z listów występuje nazwa “Urušalim”. Niektórzy utożsamiają to miasto z Jerozolimą, a nazwę z Kananejskim bogiem Shalim. Na pewno w mieście mieszkali Jebusyci. Księga Jozuego opisująca podbój Kanaanu mówi o tym, że Jozue pokonał w bitwie między innymi króla Jerozolimy. Nie oznaczało to jednak zdobycia miasta. Później gdy Jozue był już stary Ziemię Obiecaną podzielono, ale w Jozuego 15:63 czytamy: “Lecz Jebuzejczyków, mieszkających w Jeruzalemie, nie mogli synowie Judy wypędzić i Jebuzejczycy mieszkają z synami Judy w Jeruzalemie do dnia dzisiejszego”. Tak więc w momencie gdy kończono pisanie księgi Jozuego w Jerozolimie dalej mieszkali Jebusyci. Które plemiona z nimi walczyły?W kolejnej księdze czyli księdze Sędziów czytamy, że miasto to spalili Judejczycy (werset 8), ale potem nie mogli go zdobyć Beniaminici (werset 21). Czy to nie sprzeczność? Niekoniecznie. W Jozuego rozdziale 15 jest opis granic terytorium plemienia Judy. Granica przechodziła właśnie przez Jerozolimę. Tak więc zarówno plemię Judy jak i plemię Beniamina próbowało zdobyć to miasto. Plemieniu Judy się udało, ale Jebusyci najwyraźniej wrócili i potem obronili się przed kolejnym atakiem plemienia Beniamina. Jak jednak Jerozolima stała się stolicą Izraela?W Księdze 2 Samuela rozdziale 5 czytamy o tym, że gdy Dawid tam podszedł Jebusyci byli tak pewni, że twierdzili, że murów mogą bronić nawet kulawi i ślepi. W 2 Samuela 5:8 czytamy: “W tym dniu Dawid powiedział: Kto pokona Jebuzejczyka i przedrze się przez kanał, i pobije ślepych i kulawych, których nienawidzi dusza Dawida, zostanie wodzem. I przedarł się jako pierwszy Joab, i został wodzem”. Mówiłem już o tym przy okazji omawiania postaci Joaba w odcinku 5. Krótko mówiąc, za murami miasta było źródło. Jebusyci zbudowali studnię i tunel, którym mogli czerpać wodę. Prawdopodobnie właśnie tamtędy przedostał się Joab.To zdobyte miasto było później nazywane miastem Dawidowym, a znajdowało się na górze Syjon. Arkę przetransportowano właśnie do tego miasta. Tak więc przybytek, ołtarz, świeczniki i wszystko było w Szilo, ale najważniejsza część czyli Arka była od tego czasu w mieście Dawidowym. Nie miała tam jednak pozostać na stałe. O tym jednak za chwilę. Podczas rządów Dawida nikt nie atakował stolicy. Jednak gdy zbuntował się syn Dawida Absalom. Dawid uciekł z Jerozolimy i pozostawił tam arkę. Później Dawid miał wizję.Biblia mówi, że Dawid zgrzeszył przez policzenie Izraelitów i spadła na nich plaga. W pewnej chwili Dawid będący zapewne w Mieście Dawidowym zauważył, że na przeciwko na górze Moria stoi anioł z wydobytym mieczem. W 1 Kronik 21:18 czytamy: “Wtedy anioł Pański rzekł do Gada, aby oznajmił Dawidowi, że Dawid ma pójść i wznieść ołtarz dla Pana na klepisku Ornana, Jebuzejczyka”. Ciekawe jest to, że naprzeciwko Dawida, na górze Moria mieszkał Jebuzejczyk, który właśnie wtedy młócił pszenicę. Właśnie od niego król Dawid kupił miejsce na ołtarz i tam złożył swoją ofiarę. Później w tym miejscu powstała świątynia.Jak już mówiłem Dawid widział ze swojego okna to klepisko, na którym wybudowano później ołtarz. Możemy sobie wyobrazić, że czuł się głupio mieszkając w pałacu podczas gdy ołtarz stał bez żadnego zabezpieczenia. Wygląda na to, że również Arkę tam zaniesiono. W 2 Samuela 7:2 czytamy: “Rzekł król do Natana, proroka: Patrz! Ja mieszkam w domu z drzewa cedrowego, a Skrzynia Boża jest pomieszczona w środku namiotu!” Natan odpowiedział mu, że może zbudować świątynię. Później jednak przyszedł ponownie i zapowiedział, że świątynię zbuduje dopiero jego syn. Ale o tym opowiem wam w kolejnym odcinku.W skrócie: Na górze Syjon istniało miasto, w którym miał mieszkać król i kapłan Melchizedek, a potem Jebusyci. Nazwa miasta Salem znaczyła “pokój” lub wzięła się od kananejskiego boga o imieniu Shalim. Podczas podboju Ziemi Obiecanej Jerozolima znalazła się na granicy pomiędzy plemionami Judy i Beniamina. Oba plemiona próbowały ją zdobyć. Na stałe jednak podbił to miasto dopiero król Dawid i w tamtym okresie nazywano je Miastem Dawidowym. Znajdowało się ono na jednej górze Syjon. Druga góra Moria została dołączona później, ale o tym będzie w następnym odcinku.Melchisedek zaś, król Salemu, wyniósł chleb i wino. A był on kapłanem Boga Najwyższego (Rodzaju 14:18)http://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/1-Ksiega-Mojzeszowa/14/18Lecz Jebuzejczyków, mieszkających w Jeruzalemie, nie mogli synowie Judy wypędzić i Jebuzejczycy mieszkają z synami Judy w Jeruzalemie do dnia dzisiejszego (Jozuego 15:63)http://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Ksiega-Jozuego/15/63W tym dniu Dawid powiedział: Kto pokona Jebuzejczyka i przedrze się przez kanał, i pobije ślepych i kulawych, których nienawidzi dusza Dawida, zostanie wodzem. I przedarł się jako pierwszy Joab, i został wodzem. Dlatego mówi się: Ślepy i kulawy nie wejdzie do świątyni (2 Samuela 5:8)http://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/2-Ksiega-Samuela/5/8Wtedy anioł Pański rzekł do Gada, aby oznajmił Dawidowi, że Dawid ma pójść i wznieść ołtarz dla Pana na klepisku Ornana, Jebuzejczyka (1 Kronik 21:18)http://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/1-Ksiega-Kronik/21/18Rzekł król do Natana, proroka: Patrz!

Der tägliche Podcast: Tour durch die Bibel. Heute kommt der Impuls von Jasmin. Menschen in Not und Gottes Reaktion darauf. 1.Mose 14, 8-24 Da traten die Könige von Sodom, Gomorra, Adma, Zebojim und Bela, heute Zoar, gegen sie an. Im Tal Siddim stellten sie sich zum Kampf auf gegen Kedor-Laomer, den Großkönig von Elam. Auf dessen Seite waren die Könige Tidal von Gojim, Amrafel von Schinar und Arjoch von Ellasar. So standen also die vier Großkönige den fünf Stadtkönigen gegenüber. Das Tal Siddim aber war voller Asphaltgruben. Die Könige von Sodom und Gomorra ergriffen die Flucht und fielen dort hinein. Die übrigen Stadtkönige flüchteten ins Gebirge. Da plünderten die Großkönigeden gesamten Besitz von Sodom und Gomorra. Sie raubten auch alle Ernteerträge. Dann zogen sie davon. Sie nahmen Abrams Neffen Lot mit und seinen ganzen Besitz. Lot wohnte damals in Sodom. Einer von denen, die fliehen konnten, kam zu dem Hebräer Abram. Er berichtete ihm alles, was geschehen war. Abram wohnte damals bei den Eichen von Mamre. Mamre hieß auch der Bruder von Eschkol und Aner, ein Amoriter. Die drei waren mit Abram verbündet. So erfuhr Abram, dass man seinen Verwandten gefangen genommen hatte. Da rief er seine kampferprobten Leute zusammen. Es waren 318 Männer, die alle aus seinem Lager stammten. Mit ihnen verfolgte er die Großkönige bis Dan. Dort teilte er seine Truppe auf. Abraham und seine Leute überfielen die Großkönige. Mitten in der Nacht schlugen sie sie in die Flucht. Dann verfolgte er sie bis Hoba, das nördlich von Damaskus liegt. Abram nahm ihnen alles wieder ab, auch das, was Lot gehörte. Er befreite seinen Verwandten Lot, die Frauen und die übrigen Gefangenen. Abraham begegnet Melchisedek Nach seinem Sieg über Kedor-Laomer und die Großkönige, die mit diesem verbündet waren, kehrte Abram zurück. Da zog ihm der König von Sodom entgegen ins Tal Schawe, das jetzt Königstal heißt. Auch Melchisedek, der König von Salem, kam dorthin und brachte Brot und Wein. Er war Priester des Höchsten Gottes. Er segnete Abram und sagte: »Gesegnet sei Abram vom Höchsten Gott, der Himmel und Erde erschaffen hat! Gepriesen sei der Höchste Gott, der deine Feinde in deine Hand gegeben hat!« Da gab Abram dem Melchisedek den zehnten Teil der ganzen Beute. Der König von Sodom sagte zu Abram: »Gib mir meine Leute, die Beute kannst du behalten!« Da antwortete Abram dem König von Sodom:» Ich erhebe meine Hand zum Herrn, dem Höchsten Gott, der Himmel und Erde erschaffen hat. Ich werde nichts behalten, was dir gehört –nicht einmal einen Faden oder Schuhriemen! Du sollst nicht behaupten können: ›Ich habe Abram reich gemacht.‹! Für mich selbst will ich nichts, abgesehen von dem, was meine Leute verzehrt haben. Aber Aner, Eschkol und Mamre sollen ihren Anteil an der Beute erhalten. Diese Männer sind mit mir gezogen. Sie sollen das bekommen, was ihnen zusteht.

Jesus wird bereits im Alten Testament sichtbar. Dies beim Ausdruck "der Engel des Herrn". Oder er zeigte sich in Melchisedek. Zudem gibt es viele Prophezeiungen auf ihn. Sein Stammbaum zeigt, dass er direkter Nachkomme Abrahams und Davids ist. Somit kann er die Verheissungen an diese erfüllen.

Abraham hatte bereits Jesus gesehen. Durch den Zehnten, den Abraham Melchisedek gab, ist auch Levi bezehntet worden. Jesus ist somit nicht nur höher als die Engel (Hebr 1) und Mose (Hebr 3), sondern auch höher als Abraham und Aaron.

Eternity! thine unnumbered years shall speed their everlasting course, but forever and for ever, “to Him be glory.” Is He not a “Priest I for ever after the order of Melchisedek”? “To Him […]

Sull’eterno Sacerdozio e sul Sacrificio di Cristo secondo l’ordine di Melchisedek unaprofezia annunciata in Malachia – l’ultimo dei profeti – sparge una sorprendente, chiarissima luce (1,10-11). “Non mi compiaccio di voi – dice il Signore degli eserciti – e non accetto l’offerta delle vostre mani! Poiché dall’Oriente all’Occidente grande è il Mio nome fra le nazioni e in ogni luogo si brucia incenso al Mio nome e si fanno offerte pure, perché grande è il Mio nome fra le nazioni. Dice il Signore degli eserciti”.

Già nell’Antico Testamento Dio preannunciò il Sacrificio incruento del Nuovo Testamentoper mezzo di simboli e profezie. Il primo posto spetta qui al sacerdozio e al sacrificio simbolico di Melchisedek. Il re sacerdote Melchisedek appare inaspettatamente nella Storia Sacra come un personaggio misterioso e si dilegua poi altrettanto all’improvviso. Fu scelto da Dio e reso degno di prefigurare il Sacerdozio e il Sacrificio di Gesù Cristo, destinati entrambi a durare per sempre nel Nuovo Testamento.

La Sacra Scrittura non nomina né il padre, né la madre di Melchisedek e lo descrive come se egli non avesse avuto l’inizio dei giorni e la fine della vita: nella Sua umanità Cristo era sulla terra senza padre e in Cielo, nella Sua divinità, senza madre, e il Suo sacerdozio non ha fine; poiché Egli è l’unico sacerdote nel Suo ordine, infatti non ha né predecessori, né successori.

Le ferite mortali, aperte e profonde, splendono ora come stelle di meravigliosa chiarezza; ed esse annunciano perennemente all’Eterno Padre che una volta il cuore, le mani e i piedi del Suo benamato Figlio furono trafitti e crudelmente martirizzati: esse dicono a voce alta e solennemente che il Salvatore ha versato con estrema abbondanza tutto il Suo sangue per il nostro riscatto.

La preghiera riempiva l’intera vita di Gesù: infatti, che cosa fu la Sua permanenza e il Suo peregrinare qui sulla Terra se non un’ineffabile santa, misteriosa vita di intercessione, di meditazione e di contemplazione? Egli pregava nella mangiatoia, nel Tempio di Gerusalemme, durante la fuga in Egitto, nella casupola di Nazaret e nel deserto.

In un Salmo (109,4), corto ma grandioso e misterioso, Davide annuncia profeticamente che il Messia unirà in sé la dignità regale e sacerdotale. Il Suo sacerdozio viene ancora caratterizzato più precisamente come eterno secondo l’ordine di Melchisedek.

Fr. Eric Nicolai gives one of the first meditations at a retreat at Ernescliff College, Dec 26, 2020. This is on the mystery of vocation. God chooses and calls everyone: He chose us in Christ, that we should be holy and blameless in his presence through love (Eph 1:4). He chose Abraham in Christ. He chose Sarai his wife. He chose Jacob, changed his very name to Israel, and then saved Moses from sure destruction, and chose him to lead his people. He chose David. He chose Jeremiah, and Ezekial, and Daniel, and Ruth, and even Melchisedek, that mysterious figure whose purpose it took so long to figure out. He chose Mary, he chose John the Baptist. He chose you and me. Don't let this pass as a fait accompli. Experience it.

Afl. 2 Jeanette Vos - Koning Melchisedek by TWR

Today's episode shows us information about Abraham and his call, and introduces us to the priest-king Melchisedek.

Pourquoi est-ce significatif que Jésus est prêtre dans la ligne de Melchisédech? Une prédication textuelle issue de Hébreux 7:1-10 /// Why is it significant for Jesus to be the high priest in the line of Melchisedek. Expository preaching from Hebrews 7:1-10.

Hebrews 7:11-22 ESV 11 Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. 13 For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. 15 This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, 16 who has become a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent, but by the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is witnessed of him, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” 18 For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness 19 (for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. 20 And it was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath, 21 but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever.'” 22 This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. A SUPERIOR PRIEST FROM JUDAH. Throughout his epistle, the author of the book of Hebrews reminds his readers that Jesus Christ is superior, and he explains that the new covenant is much better than the old covenant. The superiority of the new covenant rests partly on the priesthood of Christ who serves in the order of Melchizedek. The Melchizedek's order has set aside the Levitical priesthood and will bring perfection to God's people whereas the priests of Levi could not do (Heb. 7:11–12). Beside, this priestly appointment is bound by an oath from God himself while the Levitical priesthood is not. [see v.20,21] In V.13 and 14, Christ is indicated as from the tribe of Judah. We should take note that the law, the ceremonial law in particular, does not give the priestly office to that tribe because it belongs to the tribe of Levi. Since Christ is High Priest but is not from the tribe of Levi, clearly it does follow that the Law had been changed. In highlighting this, the author had silenced the objection that Christ couldn't be a High Priest. True, Jesus was not a part of the right priestly tribe on the basis of human ancestry. However, it is because He serves in the order of Melchizedek, He is fully worthy to be High Priest. And since Melchizedek's order is far superior to Levi's, Jesus' High priesthood is also far superior to Aaron's. As Christ is appointed Priest, 'not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent ‘ one in which a carnal succession was required, as in the Levitical priesthood; but by the power of an indestructible life.' This is the reason, like Melchisedek's priesthood being forever. In contrast to the Levitical priesthood, which is not continuing in one person. Notedly, in Psalms 110:1-7, this prophecy of His priesthood after the order of Milchizedek forever is mentioned (see Hebrews 7:17). In v. 18 , there is a disannulling or a repealing [set aside] of the former commandment, that is the Levitical priesthood. And, as the Levitical priesthood and the law are inseparable, it's a repealing of the law also. Why? The reason is in v.19, for (the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

The Bible venerates several great figures among the Gentiles: Abel the just, the king-priest Melchisedek - a figure of Christ - and the upright "Noah, Daniel, and Job". Scripture thus expresses the heights of sanctity that can be reached by those who live according to the covenant of Noah, waiting for Christ to "gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad". - 60 (in 'God chooses Abraham') - The people descended from Abraham would be the trustee of the promise made to the patriarchs, the chosen people, called to prepare for that day when God would gather all his children into the unity of the Church. They would be the root on to which the Gentiles would be grafted, once they came to believe. - 706 (in 'The Spirit of the Promise') - Against all human hope, God promises descendants to Abraham, as the fruit of faith and of the power of the Holy Spirit. In Abraham's progeny all the nations of the earth will be blessed. This progeny will be Christ himself, in whom the outpouring of the Holy Spirit will "gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad." (abbreviated) - 2793 (in 'Our Father') - The baptized cannot pray to "our" Father without bringing before him all those for whom he gave his beloved Son. God's love has no bounds, neither should our prayer. Praying "our" Father opens to us the dimensions of his love revealed in Christ: praying with and for all who do not yet know him, so that Christ may "gather into one the children of God."

Melchisedek I Hebräer 7:1-10 I E15

Le sacificateur Melchisedek

Christoph Fischbacher: Melchisedek

Christoph Fischbacher: Melchisedek

Abraham hatte eine solche Überzeugung von dem Gott der Herrlichkeit, dem alles gehört, dass er den verdienten Lohn von Menschen ausschlug. Auf diese Entscheidung hatte Gott ihn gnädig vorbereitet durch die Begegnung mit Melchisedek.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=5630OMELIA CORPUS DOMINI - ANNO C (Lc 9,11-17)Oggi celebriamo la solennità del Corpo e Sangue di Cristo. È dunque la festa dell'Eucaristia. L'Eucaristia è il dono per eccellenza, poiché è Gesù stesso che si dona a noi nelle sembianze di un po' di pane e di un po' di vino.Le letture di oggi ci aiutano a comprendere, per quanto è possibile, la grandezza di questo dono. La prima lettura ricorda la più antica figura di Cristo Sacerdote: Melchisedek, re di Salem e sacerdote del Dio Altissimo che, in ringraziamento a Dio per la vittoria ottenuta da Abramo, offre un sacrificio di "pane e vino". Questo sacrificio fatto a Dio del pane e del vino simboleggia il sacrificio dell'Eucaristia. E Melchisedek, questo misterioso personaggio di cui l'Antico Testamento non ci dà alcuna indicazione, è una prefigurazione, ovvero una anticipazione profetica, di Gesù Cristo vero Sacerdote che congiunge la terra al Cielo. Il Salmo responsoriale dice di Lui: «Tu sei sacerdote per sempre al modo di Melchisedek».La seconda lettura ci presenta l'Istituzione dell'Eucaristia. San Paolo, scrivendo ai Corinzi, riporta il racconto dell'Ultima Cena di Gesù con i suoi Apostoli. Durante l'Ultima Cena avvenne il più grande miracolo, miracolo che si perpetua ad ogni celebrazione della Santa Messa: il pane muta di sostanza e diventa il Corpo di Cristo, e così pure il vino che si trasforma nel Sangue Preziosissimo del Redentore.L'Eucaristia che Gesù stringeva tra le sue mani durante l'Ultima Cena è lo stesso suo Corpo che a distanza di pochi giorni è stato immolato sulla Croce, ed è lo stesso Corpo che, ogni volta, riceviamo alla Comunione. Durante l'Ultima Cena, dunque, Gesù anticipò il Sacrificio che compì sul Calvario e disse agli Apostoli: «Fate questo in memoria di me» (1Cor 11,25). Fin dal suo sorgere, la Chiesa ha sempre obbedito a questo comando del Signore, celebrando la Messa ogni giorno. Non si tratta di un semplice ricordo di un avvenimento passato, in quanto l'Eucaristia rende presente, in modo sacramentale, lo stesso Sacrificio del Calvario.Anche il Vangelo di oggi parla dell'Eucaristia, di cui il miracolo della moltiplicazione dei pani e dei pesci è anch'esso un'anticipazione profetica. Gesù prende i pani, eleva gli occhi al cielo, li benedice, li spezza e li distribuisce. Tutti questi gesti saranno poi ripetuti durante l'Ultima Cena. Per compiere il miracolo della moltiplicazione dei pani e dei pesci, Gesù si servì dell'aiuto dei suoi Apostoli; per compiere invece il Miracolo Eucaristico, Gesù si avvale dei suoi sacerdoti, i quali sono come i suoi tesorieri.Il Vangelo dice che «tutti mangiarono a sazietà» (Lc 9,17). L'Eucaristia, soltanto l'Eucaristia, può saziare ogni nostro desiderio. Tutto il resto, anche le ricchezze e i beni di questo mondo, ci lasceranno sempre vuoti e insoddisfatti.Come proposito pratico, impegniamoci a partecipare con più amore all'Eucaristia domenicale e a ricevere spesso la Comunione. Ricordiamoci però che, per ricevere la Comunione, bisogna essere in grazia di Dio. Quindi, se uno è consapevole di essere in peccato mortale, deve prima confessarsi. In questi nostri tempi spesso si è pensato che questa norma fosse ormai decaduta, come qualcosa di superato. La Chiesa, invece, continua a ribadirla. L'ultimo Catechismo così riporta: «Chi è consapevole di aver commesso un peccato grave, deve ricevere il Sacramento della Riconciliazione, prima di accedere alla Comunione» (CCC, n. 1385). Ciò significa che, per quanto grande possa essere il nostro pentimento, se si è in peccato mortale, bisogna prima confessarsi dal sacerdote. Anche il papa Giovanni Paolo II, in una sua lettera Enciclica, ha ripetuto questo insegnamento, dichiarando: «Desidero quindi ribadire che vige e vigerà sempre nella Chiesa la norma [...] che, al fine di una degna ricezione dell'Eucaristia, si deve premettere la confessione dei peccati, quando uno è conscio di peccato mortale».

On this episode, we dive into the world of Masonry and Mormonism. In 1842, Joseph ascended to Master Mason “at-sight,” and seven weeks later revealed his Temple Endowment ceremony. If we view more of Joseph Smith’s timeline, we find Masonry was highly influential on the prophet from his earliest years, long before the Book of Mormon ever entered the public sphere. Cheryl Bruno, who is currently writing a book on Mormonism and Masonry, joins us periodically to help us walk through the history of these intertwining fields of philosophy.

cos’è la “SegniAnalisi”, il linguaggio segreto di segni e coincidenze, e come possiamo cogliere i segnali per interpretare quello che ci accade; le grandi leggi dell’universo, quali sono e come ci parlano, e i vari tipi di segni che l’universo stesso ci manda: i segni di presenza, i segni diretti e quelli indiretti; la vera natura del Dio maschile e femminile, chi è Melchisedek e quali sono le Verità su Gesù e la Sua Compagna Maddalena; le verità nascoste su San Francesco d'Assisi e la sua compagna cosmica Chiara... e tanto altro

Who was Melchizedek (Melchisedek)? Why did Abraham give a tithe to the King of Salem?

L'Epitre aux Hebreux presente un sacerdoce completement inusite, celui de Christ, a partir du psaume 110.

Als Abram von seiner siegreichen Schlacht gegen Kedor-Laomer und dessen Verbündete zurückkehrte, zog ihm der König von Sodom ins Schawetal entgegen, das jetzt Königstal genannt wird. 18 Ebenso kam Melchisedek, der König von Salem, dorthin und brachte Brot und Wein mit. Er war Priester des höchsten Gottes. 19 Melchisedek sagte zu Abram: „Der höchste Gott, […]

Daß Klugheit uns retten kann, will ich euch in einer kurzen Erzählung zeigen. Saladin, dessen Tapferkeit so groß war, daß sie ihn nicht nur aus einem unbedeutenden Manne zum Sultan von Babylon machte, sondern ihm auch zu zahlreichen Siegen über sarazenische und christliche Könige verhalf, hatte in verschiedenen Kriegen und infolge seiner Prunksucht seinen ganzen Schatz verschwendet; da er nun aber aus irgendeinem Anlaß eine große Summe Geldes brauchte und gar nicht wußte, wo er sie in der Eile hernehmen sollte, fiel ihm ein reicher Jude namens Melchisedek ein, ein Geldverleiher in Alessandrien, der ihm wohl helfen konnte, wenn er wollte; doch war der so geizig, daß er aus freien Stücken es wohl nicht tun würde, und Gewalt wollte er nicht gern anwenden. Da jedoch die Not ihn drängte, bemühte er sich, ein Mittel zu finden, um den Juden gefügig zu machen und kam auf den Einfall, ihn doch unter irgendeinem Vorwande zu zwingen. Er ließ ihn also zu sich rufen, begrüßte ihn sehr freundschaftlich, nötigte ihn zum Sitzen und sagte: "Guter Freund, ich habe von vielen Leuten gehört, daß du ein sehr kluger Mann bist und in göttlichen Dingen einen sehr großen Scharfsinn besitzt. Deshalb möchte ich gern von dir wissen, welche von den drei Religionen du für die wahre hältst; die jüdische, die sarazenische oder die christliche?" Der Jude, der ein wirklich kluger Mann war, erriet sofort, daß Saladin nur darauf ausging, ihn in seinen Worten zu fangen, um irgendeinen Streit mit ihm heraufzubeschwören, und erkannte, daß er keine der drei Religionen mehr loben dürfte als die beiden anderen, damit Saladin seine Absicht nicht erreiche. Da er nun eine Antwort finden mußte, die ihm keine Schlinge legte, bot er seinen Scharfsinn auf und sagte: "Herr, Eure Frage ist trefflich, aber wenn ich Euch sagen soll, wie ich über diese Dinge denke, muß ich Euch eine Geschichte erzählen. Oftmals habe ich, wenn ich nicht irre, von einem vornehmen, reichen Manne gehört, der unter anderen Kleinodien in seinem Schatz auch einen sehr schönen und wertvollen Ring besaß, den er wegen seiner Kostbarkeit und Schönheit gern in Ehren halten und auf ewig im Besitze seiner Nachkommen wissen wollte; deshalb ordnete er an, daß derjenige unter seinen Söhnen, dem er diesen Ring hinterlassen würde, gleichzeitig auch sein Erbe und von den andern als der erste geehrt und geachtet werden sollte. Sein Sohn, dem dieser Ring zufiel, machte es bei seinem Tode ebenso, und so ging dieser Ring von Hand zu Hand, viele Generationen hindurch. Schließlich aber kam er in die Hand eines Mannes, der drei schöne, tugendhafte und gehorsame Söhne hatte, die er alle drei gleich liebte. Und jeder der Jünglinge bat, da er die Wirkungen des Ringes kannte und danach trachtete, den Vorrang zu bekommen, den Vater, der schon alt war, bei seinem Tode ihm den Ring zu hinterlassen. Der wackere Mann, der sie alle drei in gleichem Maße liebte und selber nicht wußte, wen er zu seinem Erben machen sollte, sann darauf, alle drei zufriedenzustellen, da er einem jeden den Ring versprochen hatte. Er ließ deshalb von einem geschickten Meister zwei andere Ringe machen, die dem ersten so ähnlich waren, daß der Besitzer des Ringes kaum den echten herausfinden konnte. Als er seinen Tod nahen fühlte, gab er jedem seiner Söhne heimlich einen Ring. Nachdem nun der Vater gestorben war, machten alle drei Anspruch auf das Erbe und den Vorrang und legten zum Zeichen ihrer Berechtigung den Ring vor. Da aber sah man, daß die Ringe einander so ähnlich waren, daß man den echten nicht mehr herausfinden konnte: daher blieb die Frage, wer der wahre Erbe des Vaters sei, unentschieden und ist noch heute ungelöst. Und das gleiche erwidere ich auch, gnädiger Herr, auf die Frage nach den drei Religionen, die von Gott dem Vater den drei Völkern gegeben sind. Jeder glaubt die Erbschaft des Vaters und die wahren Gebote in seinem Besitz zu haben, wer sie aber in Wahrheit sein eigen nennt, ist, wie bei den Ringen, noch unentschieden." Saladin erkannte, wie geschickt der Jude der Schlinge ausgewichen war, die er ihm hatte legen wollen. Er beschloß deshalb, ihm sein Anliegen offen vorzutragen und ihn zu fragen, ob er ihm dienlich sein wolle. Zugleich aber erzählte er ihm, was ihm widerfahren wäre, wenn er eine weniger kiuge Antwort gegeben hätte. Der Jude stellte ihm freiwillig jede gewünschte Summe zur Verfügung, und Saladin zahlte ihm später alles zurück. Außerdem aber machte er ihm große Geschenke, erhob ihn zu hohen Ehren und blieb sein Freund, solange er lebte. Bild: Saldin aus dem 15.

The Cross Throughout the Scriptures - Part 18 Mat 26:38 Then He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.” 27. The Six Trials of the Lord Jesus Christ. One of the greatest systems of jurisprudence was used to condemn this One, not only innocent but absolutely perfect. Of the six trials, two were held before Pontius Pilate, where Jesus witnessed or testified an honorable confession, 1Ti 6:13. The first trial was before Annas who was the father in law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that same year, Joh 18:12-14. Annas was engaged in gangster activities connected with every system of corruption in Jerusalem, and bands of robbers in the Negev, who owed their protection to him. Annas, the most religious, approved this case, and followed the counsel of Caiaphas - “Take Him in and kill Him!” - Joh 18:14. Joh 11:50 “It is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation do not perish.” The perfect Son of God is to be presented as a master criminal by the criminals themselves. At least two eyewitnesses of the same act, event, or sin are necessary according to their law, Deu 19:15. a. It was held at night, contrary to Jewish jurisprudence, Mat 26:31,34. b. There was no defense attorney, which was illegal. c. The court also sought false witnesses, obviously illegal. d. The court was prejudiced, and there was violence in the court. Joh 2:19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” Isa 53:7 And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth. Pontius Pilate - “He is a just man” A Roman centurion looks up at the Cross - “Truly, this is the Son of God” - Mat 27:54 Here in his court is the eternal High Priest, after the order of Melchisedek! Heb 5:5-10 He is so loaded down with religion he could not see the Son of God. Su eipas = “Emphatically yes!” In Jewish jurisprudence - no one can condemn himself by his own statements, apart from a confession of guilt. Isa 52:14 His appearance was disfigured more than any man, And His form more than the sons of men. Isa 50:6 I gave My back to those who strike {Me,} And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard; I did not cover My face from humiliation and spitting. Religion makes people vicious, evil, cruel, corrupt, spiteful, malicious, and violent. Mat 26:53 “Do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?” His restraint was very significant, for if He had lost His temper, there would be NO SALVATION! The third trial was held early the next morning by the Jews. led away = aor-act-ind - apegagon = to lead someone to prison or punishment. Mat 7:6 “Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” The fourth trial is the first trial before Pontius Pilate, where Jesus witnessed or testified an honorable confession, 1Ti 6:13. This was the day the memorial supper, the Passover, would be eaten. The Jews took Jesus to the Roman governor, because the Law stated they were not to try someone in court on a Sabbath or holy day. Luk 23:2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ, a King.” Mat 22:21 “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's.” They were implying that He was in reality setting Himself up as a King and trying to lead a revolt against Rome. Here was a rival to Caesar and a dangerous revolutionary! 1Ti 6:13 “Christ Jesus, who has testified the honorable confession before Pontius Pilate,” Robert McLaughlin Bible Ministries 2002
