Abraham

Pronunciation: AY-bruh-ham

His Place Among the High Priests

Abraham is seventh in the order of the 24 High Priest Communities. He is brother to the Sun. His Watcher is Oriel, “Light of God,” who teaches preparedness and vision. Because of Abraham, the Lord received a new name: “The Only Begotten.”

His Names

“The little son was born and Idah named him Abraham, and Terah liked the name because of his strong intention to become the father of a nation” (Moses 3:20). Reuel of Midian, who was named after him, said, “My name means friend of God, and in our tradition Abraham had Reuel also as one of his names, and many called him a friend of God” (Moses 6:37).

What He Established

Abraham established that Christ is universal for all mankind. Through this, he allowed Christ to be resurrected — or, more simply said, to be Eternal.

The Offering of Isaac

Isaac was thirty-three years old when Abraham, obedient to the Lord’s request, took him near the encampment of Melchizedek to offer him to God. The ram caught by its wool in the bush of thorns was one of Melchizedek’s own lambs — “a lamb of the Prince of Shabuwa” — and Abraham used it to covenant that Isaac belonged to God.

The Name Abraham Gave the Lord

Through this offering, “the Son of Man received from Abraham a new name, which was The Only Begotten of God.” Achee, seeing this, understood that because of Abraham’s righteousness, all twenty-four High Priest communities look to this one Son of God.
