Genesis 14: 18 "And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God." KJV.
Our Lord CHRIST was a descendant of Abraham, but in the order of Melchizedek; this meaning of Royalty and High Priesthood. As I researched HIS Geneology I ran into the answer to this riddle (by no coinsidence). HE was a descendant of King David thru HIS Mother Maryam, but HE was also a descendant of Zadok thru Joseph. Zadok was a personal friend of King David, but he was also the first High Priest in Solomon's Temple. HE was also an Essene, and all Essenes were Zadokites. There were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, and another fourteen generations from David to to the Babylonian captivity (Zerubbabel). Then another fourteen generations from the captivity to our Lord CHRIST, but only thru Maryam, because thru Joseph is only thirteen generations, and this would disqualify HIM as Messiah.
This is the tale of “two Messiahs” in myth, when in reality HE is only ONE; King and High Priest. HE was to die for our spiritual transgression, as well as for our physical transgression, because there is a Heaven and an earth, flesh and
spark, physicality and spirituality, earthly law and transgression, and heavenly law and transgression. And since HE died for my physical transgression (Isaiah 53:8) and for my spiritual transgression (Isaiah 53:11), HE then also has the right to rule my physical life as my King, as well as my spiritual life as my High Priest! The Names of Messiah and Melchizedek are closer than we think, because Messiah means Anointed, and who usually gets anointed? King and Priest!
