Ancient Israelites
and the post-exilic people called Jews have always practiced tithing. The early
banking system also used Ma’aser as a powerful way in money management.
It began with Noah’s flood and
continued on all the way to Abraham who met with the King of Peace, Melchizedek
the king of Salem, who was the high priest of El Elyon (God Most High).
Jerusalem’s name, Ir Shalom,
means the City Of Peace.
Melchizedek had no recorded genealogy, no beginning and no end of days. Who was
he? It is my opinion that he was one of Enoch’s students, an overcomer and a
peacemaker who came to set up the City Of Peace,
which would eventually play a major role in world’s history; starting with Solomon’s
temple, sacrifices, and all the way to the ultimate sacrifice upon the cross.
Melchizedek’s stealth arrival and
exit—from the realm of time and tangibility—speaks of people that live in a
different dimension, a realm with which I am only partially familiar.
