Melchizedek

Pronunciation: mel-KIZ-eh-dek

Who He Is

Melchizedek is Shem, son of Noah, who with his wife Zedeqetelebab established the Covenant of Shabuwa. “Melchizedek by interpretation means My King is Righteousness” (I Achee 1:49); “his name means that which rules over me is righteousness” (Melchizedek 9:12).

His Three Names

“All the spirits of life in creation have three names… And we call the son of Noah Melchizedek, but man calls him Shem, and Anokeesed calls him Michael” (Melchizedek 4:11). “Michael… is Shem’s name in his function in heaven. Shem is called Melchizedek when he functions in the Holy Order on the temporal earth. His family called him Shem to hide his anticipated function as Melchizedek (which is the name the Eerkodeshiy call him). But Motsah named him Michael out of the anticipation of his function in heaven” (Handbook p. 113).

How the Name Came

The books tell it three ways, all shown here as written. In the Book of Melchizedek it is his name from birth: Rak breathed the breath of life into the child, “and it is Melchizedek,” and he was called Shem only to hide his true name (Melchizedek 9:9, 9:12–13). In the Book of Achee, “it was because of this covenant that the Lord God bestowed upon Shem the name of Melchizedek” (I Achee 1:49); Moses speaks of “Shem who after the establishment of Shabuwa was called Melchizedek” (Moses 3:9). And Motsah says, “Melchizedek and Zedeqetelebab are the names that are given them by the Council of Elda because they are establishing Shabuwa” (Melchizedek 12:110).

Michael

“Shem who is known to the Eerkodeshoi as Michael the Prince” (I Achee 1:42). Before creation, Motsah said, “I will bestow upon my servant Michael the same power of the agency of Anokeesed that I have expressed… and it was by these means that Michael as Melchizedek was able to establish Shabuwa” (Melchizedek 2:132–134). “Melchizedek and Zedeqetelebab are the names given them by the Council of Elda… but my Father Anokeesed named them Michael and Ge’iyra for what they will accomplish in the next life” (Melchizedek 12:110). “Shem is Michael the Archangel because of him establishing Shabuwa, and he is the prince of the hosts of the Eerkodeshiy and the one with the task of standing up for the people in tribulation times” (Melchizedek 12:144). “From heaven Michael will direct all of your multitudes of hosts… to come to my aid” (Melchizedek 12:111). In the course of time he was also called “the elder of the Eerkodeshoi” (I Achee 1:50).

The Covenant of Shabuwa

On Mount Pethach after the Flood, Melchizedek called the Eerkodeshoi to covenant seven times, for seven weeks, and on the fiftieth day the sevening became eternal (I Achee 1:41–48; Melchizedek 12:135–141). “So powerful were the words and doings of Melchizedek that he established a part of the eternal nature of the Son of God in element for all generations of the earth” (I Achee 1:60). He gave the Eerkodeshiy their instructions for the year, and “Shabuwa became the strongest force to suppress the adversary and all his hosts” (Handbook p. 128). The full account is under Shabuwa.

The Order of Melchizedek

At the altar, Motsah came and said, “Eerkodeshiy, I have come here today to establish the order of service that is after the Order of Melchizedek.” The men of Abarah “can be known from this day on as men of the Order of Melchizedek, which is a holy order,” called “by Anokeesed Himself from the foundation of the world.” “No man takes this honor unto himself, because this order of service is without beginning of days or end of years, and it comes not from mother or father through lineage but directly by the calling of Anokeesed Himself.” And Motsah said, “I myself will fill the duties of this calling in my walk in the flesh” (Melchizedek 12:104–109).

So “Messiah would be ordained after the Order of Melchizedek” (I Achee 1:61), and “for all this Melchizedek established the Priesthood of the Son of Man” (I Achee 2:103). Adam too “was ordained after the Order of Melchizedek” (I Achee 2:14), and the 24 High Priest Communities are “after the manner of the Order of Melchizedek,” and “each would give Him a name” (Achee, Introduction, p. 28).

The Order of Zedeqetelebab

In the same hour Motsah established “a second important aspect of the Holy Order, and that is an order called the Order of Zedeqetelebab.” From heaven “Ge’iyra will direct all the hosts of the Abiding Angels” to protect the righteous, and “women of the Order of Zedeqetelebab who live carefully by the Guidances of Anokeesed can call upon her and her hosts to come to the aid of their people, and she will answer” (Melchizedek 12:110–113).

The Storehouse

“There is a tradition that Melchizedek was the keeper of the storehouse of the Most High God Anokeesed. And in Genesis 14:20 Abraham is said to have given Him tithes of all he had” (Handbook p. 198).
