Revelation Dates: November 1834 – December 1835 Revelation Places: Kirtland, Ohio Section 106 - Historical Background: It had been 5 months since the return from Zions Camp. Joseph was engaged in the building of the Temple in Kirtland, along with visiting and strengthening each branch in the area. The previous month of March, Joseph had visited the town of Freedom, baptizing 30-40 people there, including Warren Cowdery, the brother of Oliver Cowdery. This revelation is directed to Warren Cowdery. Recap: Warren Cowdery to be ordained a High Priest and preside over the saints at Freedom, Ohio. He is to be humble and an example, preaching to the people. Section 107 - Historical Background: On Feb 14, 1835, Joseph invited all those who risked their lives at Zions Camp, to attend a special meeting. From the congregation, the 12 Apostles were chosen. Shortly thereafter, the First Council of 70 was selected, presided over by a presidency of 7. On March 28, 1835, the Twelve were about to leave on various missions and desired an uplifting revelation to take with them.     Recap: There are two priesthoods, the Melchizedek and Aaronic. All offices in the church are appendages to this priesthood. Priesthood offices are listed along with their rights and duties. Melchizedek: To administer the keys in spiritual things, authority to preside over all; Offices include High Priest – organized into the First Presidency, quorum of 12 Apostles, quorums of the Seventy, Patriarch and Bishop; and all other holders of the Melchizedek priesthood are to be ordained to the office of Elder. Aaronic: To administer keys of the administering of angels and the outward ordinances, to be presided over by the High Priest of the bishopric; Offices include Priest, Teacher and Deacon. [Note: When it comes time to translate records, such as the sealed portion of the gold plates, the book of Enoch, the brass plates, etc. the prophet will be sustained not only as prophet, seer and revelator, but also translator.] The number of quorums of the Seventy will expand as needed to travel as ministers among the gentiles. Section 108 - Historical Background: Lyman Sherman was among those faithful brethren who answered the call to Zion's Camp. However, upon their return to Kirtland, he wavered. Prompted by the Lord, Lyman approached Joseph to request a blessing and revelation from the Lord. Recap: Because of following the prompting of the Lord, Lyman is forgiven. The Lord admonishes to stop resisting the promptings of the Spirit and to be more careful in observing your vows. Be patient and faithful so the Father can bless you. Stringthen your brethren through conversation, prayers and in your doings. 

Today, we'll look at when Abram and Lot split from one another. We'll also look at our timeline. We'll look at the battle of the coalition of Kings. We'll also look at when Lot was captured and then rescued. Finally, we'll talk more about Melchizedek. Today's Scripture: Gen. 13:1-18, 14:1-16, 17-20 NIV

Today, we'll talk more about Melchizedek. We'll also talk about God's Promised Land given to Abram. Finally, we'll look at God's powerful covenant with us. Today's scripture: Hebrews 7:1-10; Gen. 14:21-24, 15:1-8, 9-19 NIV

Send us a textAre you still drinking spiritual milk when you should be feasting on meat? This profound exploration of spiritual growth challenges us to examine our maturity as believers and our readiness to teach others.Drawing from Hebrews 5, we unpack the writer's lament that many Christians remain spiritual infants long after they should have developed into teachers. "For when for the time you ought to be teachers," he writes, "you have need that one teach you again." This powerful indictment reveals how easily we can become stalled in our spiritual development.The conversation takes a fascinating theological turn as we examine Christ's priesthood after the order of Melchizedek. Unlike the Aaronic priesthood which symbolized Christ in His humiliation, Melchizedek represents Christ in His exaltation. We discover the beautiful symbolism of Melchizedek bringing bread and wine to Abraham after his victory—foreshadowing Christ's communion with believers after His ultimate triumph.Perhaps most practical is our discussion about guarding what enters through our "eye gates" and "ear gates." When we consume sinful content for entertainment, we participate in that sin even without physical action. The etymological connection between "pornography" and the Greek word for "fornication" underscores this spiritual reality. What are you allowing into your heart and mind?We also explore the contrast between works of the flesh and fruit of the Spirit. While works require effort, fruit grows naturally through connection with the source. Your relationship with the Spirit isn't based on periodic refilling like a gas tank but on constant contact—like a subway train connected to its power line through Bible reading, prayer, and fellowship.Ready to move beyond spiritual infancy?

Melchizedek: A Type of Priesthood of Christ Part 3 Hebrews 7

In this episode, Pastor David Maestas unpacks the rich theology of Hebrews 7, where Jesus is revealed as our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. Unlike the temporary and imperfect priesthood of the Old Testament, Jesus offers something far better—permanent intercession and an unshakable hope. The old system couldn't bring people into true closeness with God, but Jesus can. Pastor David emphasizes that we no longer need to rely on flawed systems or human mediators. Jesus is both sinless and eternal—completely able to save those who come to God through Him. This message is a powerful reminder that our hope isn't based on religion or ritual, but on a living Savior who never stops advocating for us.

9Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better thingsthings that belong to salvation.10For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.11And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end,12so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. The Certainty of God's Promise 13For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,14saying, Surely I will bless you and multiply you.15And thus Abraham,[a]having patiently waited, obtained the promise.16For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.17So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath,18so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.19We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,20where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

The profound mystery of Christ's redemptive sacrifice unfolds through an illuminating study of Isaiah's ancient prophecy. Isaiah's vivid portrayal of the Messiah as "a tender plant" and "a root out of dry ground" reveals both Christ's divine origin and human nature. Though possessing no extraordinary appearance to attract followers, His mission carried an extraordinary purpose. The prophecy details how He would be "despised and rejected," with people turning away as they might avoid an unpleasant stranger—a heartbreaking foretelling of humanity's response to divine love.What makes Christ's sacrifice truly remarkable is its voluntary nature. Scripture emphasizes that "he poured out his soul unto death" willingly, bearing "our griefs," "wounded for our transgressions," and "bruised for our iniquities." This wasn't reluctant martyrdom but a deliberate choice made with full awareness of its cost. The magnitude becomes staggering when we consider its scope—not merely for believers but "the sins of the whole world."Through exploring Hebrews, we contrast the temporary Levitical priesthood with Christ's eternal priesthood "after the order of Melchizedek." Unlike temple priests offering repeated sacrifices, Jesus made one perfect sacrifice "once for all." His perfection—being "holy, harmless, undefiled"—made Him the only suitable sacrifice, establishing a "continual and perpetual intercessor" for believers.Our response to this sacrifice should be overwhelming gratitude, compelling righteous living. To continue in willful sin after understanding Christ's work is to "trample on His blood." Yet for those who stumble, genuine confession and repentance bring cleansing through His blood—covering not just past sins but future failures of the truly repentant heart.The choice remains simple: accept Christ's payment and live accordingly, or reject it and face judgment. The magnitude of His sacrifice demands nothing less than complete devotion. How will you respond to the one who willingly bore the weight of all humanity's sin?"Message Our Father's Heart a Question or Response"Support the showThank you so much for listening and sharing with others!

A better covenant- If the priestly line of Aaron was enough why did David say that the Messiah would be "a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek?" Jesus was the ultimate high priest who became the ultimate sacrifice for our sins once and for all.

Who is Melchizedek?- The author of Hebrews uses Melchizedek, an obscure figure referenced only twice before this letter, to prove that Jesus was of a priestly line. We know Melchizedek was a king and priest, but what else can we know of this mysterious person?

Crystal Rivers | Kingdom Mysteries | Aug 27, 2025 You must understand that meekness is fundamentally different from what most people imagine. When Scripture describes Moses as "very meek above all men on the face of the earth," it does not mean he was simply humble or soft-spoken. True meekness is a heart condition where the "pride of life" has been dried up - where your soul is no longer resistant to engaging with God when He seeks your attention. **The Root of Spiritual Pride** Pride, in the biblical sense, is not mere arrogance or boastfulness. It is your resistance to disengaging from one realm of fellowship to enter another. When God desires your attention and you find yourself putting Him off or treating His voice as unimportant, you are demonstrating pride. This happens because something else has captured your affection - whether money, pleasure, power, or any worldly pursuit - making it difficult for you to respond immediately to God's call. The Scripture identifies three components that make up worldliness: the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. These work progressively - first you see something enticing (lust of the eyes), then you remember and desire to experience it again (lust of the flesh), and finally that desire becomes so strong that it interferes with your ability to hear and respond to God (pride of life). **Satan's Example and Its Implications** Satan's fall illustrates this principle perfectly. His heart was "lifted up because of his beauty" - not because he became conceited, but because he calculated that his God-given abilities were sufficient for him to operate independently of God. This led him to cut off the continuous flow of inspiration that comes from the Creator, resulting in spiritual death. Satan's rebellion was essentially choosing self-sufficiency over dependence on God. This same pattern affects humanity. When you operate from a place of perceived self-sufficiency, you begin to live the kind of life Satan lives - one marked by spiritual blindness, the need to steal and defend resources, and an inability to receive from God's abundance. **The Connection to Prayer and Fellowship** What many believers call "difficulty with prayer" is actually pride manifesting in their spiritual lives. If you find it hard to engage with God, if prayer feels burdensome or if you consistently delay responding to His promptings, you are dealing with spiritual arrogance. The church's widespread struggle with prayer is fundamentally a pride problem. Moses reached a level of meekness that exceeded even prophetic gifting. While most prophets receive revelation through dreams, visions, and symbolic communications that require interpretation, Moses communicated with God "mouth to mouth, plainly, not in dark speeches." This was not special treatment - it was the result of Moses being "faithful in all God's house," meaning he consistently responded to God's voice over long periods of time. **Practical Application** To develop meekness, you must actively practice the opposite of pride. When God prompts you to pray, respond immediately rather than finding excuses. When He speaks through His word, engage rather than delay. This is not about perfection but about consistent practice - "by reason of use" your spiritual senses become exercised. The goal is to reach a place where you can "receive with meekness the implanted word" which saves your soul through reconnection with God. Without this meekness, even when you hear God's voice, pride will prevent you from acting on what you've heard. Remember that you are not of this world, which "lies under the sway of the wicked one." Any worldliness in your life can be traced to some form of fellowship with Satan's system. The Melchizedek priesthood requires a lifestyle of meekness - there is no shortcut around developing this heart condition through consistent, faithful engagement with God over time. http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

178 : Psalms 110 1. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. 2.

Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. 4.

In this episode, Zach and Michael unpack one of the Bible's most overlooked but epic battle scenes: a four-king coalition sweeps through giant-infested Canaan before looting Sodom and taking Lot captive. Abraham launches a daring rescue, defeats seasoned kings, and meets the mysterious Melchizedek. What's going on behind the scenes of this battle? Who were the Rephaim, Emim, and Zuzim—and why were they targeted first? This is no ordinary war.

Jesus is the greater and eternal Priest-King who intercedes for and saves sinners to the uttermost by His once-for-all death on the cross.

Hebrews: The True and Better - Hebrews 7.1-25Jobey McGintyMelchizedek, a mysterious king and priest from the Old Testament, serves as a powerful "Easter egg," foreshadowing the coming of Christ and assuring us that God's eternal plan is true. Jesus is our true and greater Melchizedek, a High Priest whose position is not based on lineage but on the power of an indestructible life. He is the guarantor of a new and better covenant—one that isn't a fragile deal dependent on us, but an unbreakable promise God made to Him. Because of this, Jesus is able to save us to the "uttermost." He provides a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty on our salvation, accomplishing it from beginning to end. Even when we fail, Jesus, our perfect High Priest, continually intercedes for us, making our salvation secure in Him.

5For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.2He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness.3Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins just as he does for those of the people.4And no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was. 5So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, You are my Son,today I have begotten you; 6as he says also in another place, You are a priest forever,after the order of Melchizedek. 7In the days of his flesh, Jesus[a]offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.8Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered.9And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,10being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Recently, I had the fascinating opportunity to delve into the beliefs practices, and Strangite priesthood views with Gary Weber of the Strangite Church, a lesser-known branch of Mormonism. This discussion sheds light on many intriguing aspects of their faith, highlighting both commonalities and distinct differences from the more widely known LDS (Latter-day Saint) Church. https://youtu.be/GvLjkF8kqms Understanding Strangite Priesthood: A Core Difference One of the most significant distinctions discussed was the Strangite understanding of the priesthood and its associated "keys." While the Melchizedek priesthood holds specific keys related to office, it does not encompass all keys. According to Gary Weber, the Melchizedek priesthood cannot evolve to ordain a prophet. Instead, they believe a prophet can only be ordained by an angel, as was the case for Moses, Joseph Smith, and James J. Strang. The fundamental principle here is that "the lesser cannot ordain the greater". This leads to a critical differentiation of priesthood keys: Keys of Mysteries and Revelations: These keys are associated only with the prophet-lawgiver and can only be held by one person at a time. Gary Weber states that James J. Strang could not have been ordained by angels while Joseph Smith was alive but was ordained the moment Joseph Smith died. Keys of the Kingdom: These keys can be possessed by many people, as seen with the twelve apostles who were given these keys to spread the gospel to nations. They can also confer these keys to others, with hundreds potentially holding them. Gary noted that many members of the LDS Church often don't understand this distinction between the two types of keys. Sacrament Practices: Purity and Purpose The Strangite Church observes the sacrament once a month, rather than weekly like the LDS Church. Their reasoning is that frequent observance could make it "mundane" and cause it to "lose its specialness and sacredness". The elements used for the sacrament also have specific requirements: Juice: Any edible fresh fruit juice is acceptable, as stated in their book of law under the Eucharist. Examples include orange juice, which was used when Gary grew up in Artesia, or fresh processed grape juice from their vineyard. If no juice is available, water can be used, emphasizing the focus on one's "eye singleness to God" and the purpose of remembering Christ's blood. Typically Strangites use some sort of fresh juice (not store-bought) for the sacrament. This assures the juice has not been adulterated. Bread: Must be made of any grain, prepared by the members themselves, not store-bought. This is to ensure its purity and prevent it from being "adulterated". Other Doctrines and Practices: Baptism: They baptize at age eight, aligning with the LDS Church, based on the Doctrine and Covenants and a belief that children at this age have scientifically reached a maturity level to understand right from wrong. Baptism can occur in a church font or natural bodies of water like the White River, depending on personal preference. Priesthood Recognition: The Strangite Church does not recognize the priesthood of other churches, including the LDS priesthood, as they trace their priesthood lineage back through Joseph Smith and James J. Strang. Communion: They practice a closed communion, meaning it is only served to those who have been baptized, taken upon Christ's name, and are deemed worthy, as stated in the Book of Mormon by Jesus to the Nephites. Missionary Work: Unlike the door-to-door approach of many LDS missionaries, Strangites engage in a more limited form of proselytization. They will travel to baptize individuals with whom they've corresponded and who show genuine interest, sometimes over many months. Interestingly, Gary expressed that the wider recognition of the "Mormon" name, largely due to the LDS Church's efforts, has made it easier for Strangites to teach Mormonism,

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter takes us through the readings from Micah chapters 5 through 7 and Hebrews chapter 7, reflecting on profound questions about justice, mercy, and the true cost of forgiveness. Together, we explore what God truly requires of us—not endless sacrifices or offerings, but to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God. Hunter delves into the challenges we all face in living out these commands and points us to the ultimate answer found in Jesus, our high priest who has perfectly fulfilled what we could not. Join us for a time of scripture, thoughtful reflection, and prayer, as we seek to understand more deeply the heart of God revealed through Jesus—the One who is enough and invites us to walk with Him today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: How much is enough? How much do we owe for our mistakes, our regrets, the pain we've caused? That's the deep question Micah puts before us in today's reading. We try to measure it: burnt offerings, rivers of oil, some attempt to set things right, to pay enough to cover our sins. But here's Micah's answer—“No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good… to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” That's the call. Not endless sacrifices or rituals, but a life lived rightly, one that loves mercy and walks humbly with God. And yet, as poetic and right as that sounds, we find ourselves falling short. We're invited to a life most of us cannot live in our own strength. Adam didn't. Neither have we. We've all missed the mark, failed to do justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly. But here is the good news: there is One who has not failed—Jesus, our Savior, the High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. He did what we could not. He lived rightly, loved mercy, and walked humbly with His Father. He paid the price once and for all for the sins of the world—not by repeated offerings, but by offering Himself. So what will cover our past, our shortcomings, the missing sum in our own ledger? The answer is not more striving, not more doing, but Jesus. Because of Him, we're invited to participate in a life with God. No longer do we need to keep trying to pay—He is enough. As we receive Him, we're set free to live out justice, mercy, humility—not as a debt to be paid, but as a life that overflows from Him. That's my prayer today: that I will participate in this with-God life, that I will receive what has already been accomplished and live in it. He has included me in Himself, and He has included you as well. Everything we need to walk with God today is ours in Jesus. Let us learn from Him now. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Loving God, you have knit us together in the body of Christ from every nation and tongue. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Where hatred stirs, let us bear your love. Where wounds run deep, let us be agents of pardon. Where fear grips hearts, may we speak faith. Where sorrow hangs heavy, may we carry joy. Teach us to listen more than we speak. To understand before we are understood. To love. For in surrender, we find abundance. In mercy, we discover grace. And in dying, we rise into your life. In the name of Jesus. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
