We are so excited for the many things God has done this week. This Saturday and Sunday we saw the Holy Ghost fill 20 people!
First War In The BibleLot pitched his tent toward Sodom. It was well-watered like the Garden of Eden, in the green plains of the Jordan River (Genesis 13:10-11). The local cities were under tribute twelve years to Persians (modern Iran) and Chaldeans (modern Iraq). The cities revolted against tribute, but the revolt failed. Sodom was ransacked. Lot was carried away captive. Abraham, with 318 warriors from his household, chased them to near Damascus.
Genesis 14:16 - "And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people."
MelchizedekAbraham warred against (Iraq) and (Iran) to avenge their siege on Lot and the city of Sodom. He recovered people and possessions. Melchizedek brought bread, wine and blessings for Abraham, who gave him tithes of everything recovered. This Melchizedek, "king of Salem, priest of the most high God," was not Christ, but a type. Both were king and priest of Jeru-Salem. Melchizedek's offering of bread and wine portended Jesus' offering body and blood at Calvary.
Psalms 110:4 - "The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek."
The Blessing Of MelchizedekAbraham acted as a savior and redeemer for Lot and his family when he and his men pursued Chedorlaomer. For his deeds, Melchizedek, King and Priest of Salem, "brought forth bread and wine: ...and blessed him." Melchizedek was NOT Christ, but a profound TYPE of Christ. Melchizedek was a mysterious person with no known lineage. In giving bread and wine, Melchizedek typologically gave Abraham the body and blood of Jesus Christ. A Savior for a savior.
Genesis 14:18 - "Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him."
I Have Lift Up My Hand To The LordYou can live and die without acknowledging God if you so choose. You can do as you please and completely ignore God and His will. But Abraham lived and died before the Lord. From his earliest days, Abram made vows to God and lived by them. In a time when no man considered the Lord, that made Abraham the apple of God's eye.
Genesis 14:22 - "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, ...I will not take any thing that is thine."

Canaan Land
Abraham lived almost 2000 years before Christ. The land was Canaan. Many various tribes dwelled there, but God gave it to Abraham. The earth is the Lord's. He can give it to anyone He wants. Although 4000 years later, God will soon take the entire land by force.
Genesis 13:14-15 - "And the LORD said unto Abram, ...Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever."
Hebron
Hebron is 18 miles south of Jerusalem, second-most Jewish city on earth. The king of Hebron launched an offensive against Joshua but lost. Joshua gave Hebron to Caleb. Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob and Leah are buried there. David ruled there. Today, 166,000 Palestinians and 700 Jews live there. That Israel is giving it away is outrageous! Jesus will recapture it at Armageddon.
Genesis 13:17-18 - "Walk through the land, ...for I will give it unto thee. Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron."
Abram Worshipped At Hebron After God Promised Land
After Lot departed, the LORD told Abram, "Lift up now thine eyes, and look ...For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: ...Arise, walk through the land ...for I will give it unto thee." This was a sacred, historic event. Abram built an altar and worshipped God. Recognize the occasions when God is blessing and worship Him.
Genesis 13:18 - "Abram ...dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD."
Eber The Hebrew
The world knows the Jews as Hebrews. The Hebrew language is the only spoken language ever to return from extinction (in the 19th century), after being eradicated during the Diaspora (dispersion) of Israel. Hebrew has continued to be a major written language since antiquity, largely because of the Old Testament. Today, it is the official language of the State of Israel. The word "Hebrew" derives from Eber, great-grandson of Shem (Noah's son), and grandfather of Abraham. Jesus spoke from Heaven to Saul in the Hebrew tongue.
Genesis 14:13 - "...Abram the Hebrew."
