Genesis 14:1 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel
king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal
king of nations;
2 That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah,
Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which
is Zoar.
3 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they
rebelled.
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with
him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the
Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
-
Rephaim = a branch of the
Nephilim = Superhuman beings, so called after
one Rapha: as the Anakim after Anak.
-
Joshua 12:4 And the coast
of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant
of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at
Edrei,
6 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which
is by the wilderness.
7 And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the
country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezon-tamar.
8 And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king
of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and
they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
9 With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and
Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
10 And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and
Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals,
and went their way.
12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods,
and departed.
13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt
in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and
these were confederate with Abram.
14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained
servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them
unto Dan.
15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote
them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot,
and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the
slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of
Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the
priest of the most high God.
-
Melchizedek = brought forth
bread and wine
-
Nabal drank yayin and "was
very drunken."
-
1 Samuel 25:36 And Abigail
came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in
his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's
heart was merry within him, for he was very
drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or
more, until the morning light.
37 But it came to pass in the morning, when the
wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had
told him these things, that his heart died
within him, and he became as a stone.
38 And it came to pass about ten days after,
that the Lord smote Nabal, that he died.
-
Melchizedek = King of
righteousness = righteous king.
-
In History, Genesis 14 = In
Prophecy
-
Psalms 110 = In Fulfillment
-
Hebrew 7 = This might be
Shem in type, Christ in antitype.
-
Salem = Called, on the
bricks of the ruins of an ancient city in S. of
Palestine
-
Uru-Salim = the city of
Salim.
-
The Tablets show that
Palestine was at this time in possession of
Egypt, and the Tablets are letters to the
Pharaohs Amenophis III and IV.
-
One is from Ebed-Tob, the
successor of Melchizedek.
-
Three times he says "not my
father, not my mother installed me in this place
but the Mighty King"
-
Hebrew 7:1-4 = he did not
inherit by succession, but by the gift and "the
arm of the Mighty King" (the deity).
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the
most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy
hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the
goods to thyself.
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord,
the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not
take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men
which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
