the Order of Melchizedek
“These secret teachings are the hidden essence of the Sepher Yetzirah, which was taught to the patriarch Abraham by Melchizadek after he initiated Abraham into the heavenly transmission, the Qabalah. Melchizadek is that mysterious being, who is King of Peace and Priest of the Most High God-Melchizadek, who is "without father or mother, knowing neither death nor end of days." “

The Order of Melchizedek
The Order of Melchizedek is an archaic priesthood that has permeated cultures across the globe. Its origin remains unknown, but it began with Adam, who was the first representative of God (i.e., priest) on earth. Melchizedek was a priest during the age of the patriarchs, before Levi and his descendants are even born. The title of Melchizedek passed from Adam to his son Seth, and from Seth, the title passed from father to son or grandson. Noah inherited the title when Methuselah died, even though Noah was Methuselah's grandson, because Methuselah outlived his son, Lamech. The Order of Melchizedek is not a hermetic society or secret order; it is a sequential order or priestly leadership over God’s People. Jesus is described as the "High Priest in the order of Melchizedek" in the Bible.
