Ancient Order of Melchizedek

By: Ken Johnson

Narrated by: Jeff Raynor

Length: 2 hrs and 37 mins

Publisher's summary

Who was the Melchizedek the apostle Paul spoke of in the book of Hebrews? How is his priesthood different than the priesthood of Levi? Why was the Messiah ordained after the order of Melchizedek and not after the order of Levi?

For the first time, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the ancient church fathers, and other rare history books reveal the mystery of the Ancient Order of Melchizedek.

We will learn about the order and how it is different from the order of Levi. We will see who the 10 Melchizedekian priests were, and how the order was broken up into three parts until the Messiah would come to earth to reinstate the order in its fullness. Most importantly, we will see how that reinstatement effects Christian theology and practical applications to our Christian walk today.

Very Informative

Narration a little fast, but very helpful in explaining the Order of the Melchizedek. Take your time and listen more than once.

I have gained greater insights on the Priesthoods

The author provided many resources and is well studied. I am pleased to have read this book and will need much time to digest.

Excellent research and explanation

Ken does an excellent job explaining what so many different sources tie together as one amazing theme. I always wondered about how this priesthood was different, and I now feel as though I have a much clearer understanding of it and how Jesus fulfills all of the prophecies about it. I recommend this book to Believers and non-Believers who want to understand how the different types of priesthoods tie together through the Bible.

YAH IS ONE

Great book on the High Priests of YAH.

Levi priest lift up YHWH / The Word / Yeshua in the land of the living (creation). They get the 10% portion of creation. YAH is not found in the land of the living (Isaiah), this is Yeshuas Father he told us to pray to.

Zedek Priests get the 10% of the 10%. This is the earthly priesthood of YAH The Creator mentioned by title as Elohim in Gen 1. It’s not until Gen 2 that we hear about YHWH Elohim. YHWH is Yeshuas title. He will give us His new name when he comes.

King David was a Zedek Priest. He says Yah 40 times. My favorite (YAH/YHWH) distinction verse is -

“Let me not die, but live, And declare the works of Yah. Yah has punished me severely, But did not give me over to death.
Open to me the gates of righteousness; I enter through them, I thank Yah. This is the gate of יהוה, The righteous enter through it.” (Psalms)‬ ‭118:17-20‬ ‭

Thank you for your work. Yeshua is the doorway, YAH is our deliverer!!! HalleluYAH!!!

Thank you!

Further Illuminating my understanding Of Biblical thought, Historical Perspective, Early Church History and expands the background for well Biblical passages.

Knowledge Overflowing

This book is too much for new students. But it's a must for those thirsty for more. The research and sourcing is extraordinary. As a messianic Jew I found this book to be especially helpful and enlightening. The subject is a non-subject in my 61 years as a Jew.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

I believe, without a doubt, that the Dead Sea Scrolls were preserved by God to give us back the pure foundations of Israel and the Church. It is absolutely amazing that we have the oldest manuscripts that prove what is the true doctrine that has been preserved and handed down from the beginning of the!✝🙏🛐😇

Wonderful Summary of events that detail the Melchizedek mission.

As a student of the bible and disciple of Jesus. I have always been curious about Melchizedek. I learned a lot and the spirit was carried with this work. This book was a very well cited source of summaries with some guided commentary about the power of the ancient priesthood. There are few disputations that I have with this, and they may merely be interpretation or misunderstandings. Mostly with Jesus being the last High Priest when we see that He clearly blessed and ordained his apostles to the same priesthood. Thus making the order of priesthood continue beyond Jesus. Peter would then be the head of the Melchizedek order.

The Answer to the Question?

Great job of filling in the things that I always wanted to know! Many have said that there is not much information to go on, however I think this book gives an amazing peak into the foundation of the Order of this Priesthood and how it links to Christ! Now I’m ordering the book because I’ve got to highlight and make notes!

Abridgement of Priesthood scripture, misses on one

Dead on in expounding the history and primary significance of the order of Melchizedek. excepting the assumption that following Christ's advent, there is only one Melchizedek Priest.. in that point he must err in my opinion. Else why should there be a need for Priests after the order of Melchizedek at all? Or what is the point of a Kingdom of Priests if it is not after that order by which we are made heirs of God and joint heirs of Christ?

Else also, why a period of incredibly dark middle ages with a corrupt Priesthood and zero semblance and zero presence of the ancient church at all, implying that Christ's arm were made short if his intent was to keep himself solely responsible for disseminating the work of the Priesthood after his resurrection?

In other words why wouldn't he use the concept of Priesthood governance to organize and establish his church and work across the nations in the times of refreshing.

Else, by what authority should the essential ordinances of baptism, conferring of essential ministering offices or blessings, or sacraments/communion be performed if not by those on earth set apart to act according to that very Priesthood which makes the church a kingdom of Priests?
