Hebrews 7:1-10

When it comes to the priestly order of Melchizedek, the first three verses of Hebrews 7 give us some of the best insights into his personality. “For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is king of peace. He is without father or mother or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest forever.” I believe there is enough information on Melchizedek to agree that he is not like you or I. It can be said that Melchizedek is a type of Christ, and that he is part of an eternal order, to say anything else would to be guessing.

I was drawn to verses 9 and 10, “One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.” You must ask the question, was Levi a surprise to the Most High God? And the answer is no, God saw him in the loins of Abraham and yet it was over 500 years before he set foot on this earth. Levi was part of God’s plan, he was in God’s thoughts, before the creation of the world, and so were you. We often listen to men, and not to God, and that is to our shame. I am often confused; some say to an expecting mother, you are with child, while others call it a blob or a fetus. The dictionary defines fetus: “As an unborn vertebrate at a stage when all the structural features of the adult are recognizable, especially an unborn human offspring after eight weeks of development.” And in another dictionary it gave this: an unborn offspring of a mammal, in particular an unborn human baby more than eight weeks after conception.

Now, that is what the world has to say, that’s the best scientists can come up with, and the world’s wisdom is that from conception it is some kind of a blob, and then it turns into a fetus that looks just like a human baby, but if it has defects or is unwanted, it not a child, it is a fetus; now that’s strange. But we dare not call it a baby, because it may bother the person or their family who want to get rid of this embarrassment, this blob that is inconvenient. But it is somewhat confusing to me that the same culture, the same social order, will get all excited if the blob is wanted and they never refer to it as a blob, or a fetus, they call it a baby, they name it, and they show pictures of what it looks like in the mothers womb. How can that happen? I must say a little more on this subject: It make one wonder, has what the Abortionist calls a blob, ever came out anything other than a human baby? It is a simple answer; when the one who is carrying it does not want the child, they put a spin on what it is called, and God calls that murder.

One thing is for sure, many in the church are on both sides of this confusion, it seems as if what God has said means nothing to them, and if that is so, you have been taken captive by the schemes of the devil. When I read Psalm 139:16, I have no other question on when life begins, it began in the heart of God long before I was. “Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there were none of them.” For my Christian brothers or sisters who are open to the killing of the inconvenient baby, O’ I know you do not call it a baby, but God does, how can you read this and say that is not what I believe. Has God given you a choice on what part of Scripture you can believe, I think not, it is written, what happens to the person who does that, and it is not about heaven. I also know that many a young lady has gone the abortion route, only to have great guilt later, that also is not God’s doing, ask and you will be forgiven, and it then becomes the past. And if it is still coming into your mind, it is not coming from God.
