Мелхиседек
Мелхиседек – священник Бога Всевышнего является древним членом ордена священного огня, который мы знаем как орден Мелхиседека. Священство Мелхиседека очень древнее, берущее начало в другой солнечной системе. Это — священство Седьмого луча, сочетающее совершенную религию и идеальную науку. Жрецы этого ордена должны быть учеными, а также совершенствовать аспект света Бога в своих храмах.
The Biblical record
Впервые мы встречаем Мелхиседека в Библии как священника Бога Всевышнего, который благословил Авраама, возвращавшегося после поражения царей, и которому Авраам отдал десятую долю всего. Мелхиседек вынес ему хлеб и вино, — это первая имеющаяся у нас запись о ритуале Святого Причастия. Мелхиседек — ключевая фигура света, Учитель учителей. Он был высочайшим посвященным и адептом Ветхого Завета и совершил вознесение по завершении того воплощения.
В седьмой главе «Послания к Евреям» мы читаем:
Ибо Мелхиседек, царь Салима, священник Бога Всевышнего, тот, который встретил Авраама и благословил его, возвращающегося после поражения царей, которому и десятину отделил Авраам от всего, — во-первых, по знаменованию имени царь правды, а потом и царь Салима, то есть царь мира, без отца, без матери, без родословия, не имеющий ни начала дней, ни конца жизни, уподобляясь Сыну Божию, пребывает священником навсегда.
На древнееврейском языке имя Мелхиседек означает «царь правды». Следовательно, он — царь праведности, который приумножает Закон Бога правильным применением этого Закона. Это также означает «царь по праву», «по достижению». Мелхиседек владел еще и титулом Царя Салима — Царя Иерусалима, Города Святого. Слово «царь» означает «ключ к воплощению Бога». Поэтому Мелхиседек владеет (с помощью жезла своей власти и своих достижений) ключом к воплощению нами Бога в Святом Городе, в Новом Иерусалиме.
Господь Линг дает объяснение описанию Мелхиседека, как «не имеющего ни отца, ни матери»:
Но записано, что в надлежащее время с помощью силы изреченного Слова, высвобожденной из горловой чакры, духовно развитые индивидуумы обратятся лицом друг к другу и, произнося священные слова, ускорят с помощью световых лучей в семенной энергии правильное использование сексуальных (священных) энергий и действие кадуцея, чтобы мгновенно создать живую форму в великом космическом свете, из которого выступит сын Божий в лучезарном проявлении.
In this manner Melchizedek was born without father and without mother, without descent, without beginning of days and without ending. You say, “You have said that he was born without father and mother, and yet you have said that they faced one another.” Yea, it is true. But those who faced one another were as masters of light, a Son and Daughter of God, and he was without earthly mother and father, but not without heavenly mother and father. Thus, I have revealed to you this night one of the secrets of the Order of Melchizedek.[1]
The Order of Melchizedek
The book of Hebrews says that Jesus was “made an high priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.”[2] The akashic records reveal that both Jesus and Saint Germain studied in the retreat of the Archangel Zadkiel when they were in embodiment on Atlantis. Both completed their initiations and training in the order of the priesthood of Melchizedek before the sinking of the continent. They stood before Melchizedek and the great Archangel Zadkiel, who said upon these two blessed ones, “Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.”[3] Once one receives that training and initiation, it carries over to succeeding lifetimes. Thus, Jesus was already a priest of the Order of Melchizedek before his birth in his final embodiment.
One of the symbols of Melchizedek is the Maltese cross. This cross is made up of four V’s that meet in the center of the cross, representing the four planes of Matter. Melchizedek teaches the mastery of these four planes, and he is at the heart of the cross at the point of the meeting of the lines of force of Spirit and Matter, Alpha and Omega.
The priesthood of the ascended master Melchizedek is of the seventh ray and the seventh age. You can request to become a member of that order. The first step is the giving of the violet flame. You can also write a letter to Jesus, Melchizedek and Archangel Zadkiel, asking to be trained in the priesthood of the Order of Melchizedek. Burn the letter, and the angels will take it to the heaven-world. Each day give violet-flame decrees and ask to be taken while your body sleeps at night to Archangel Zadkiel’s retreat for training.
The service of the Order of Melchizedek today
Archangel Zadkiel speaks of the service of this priesthood:
The role of the priesthood, beloved, is to tend the flame of life at the altar of temple and home and heart. The calling of the priesthood is to never let go, or go out, the flame of life. First and foremost, the flame must be kept by these committed ones on behalf of the planetary and solar evolutions. The priesthood are keepers of the flame on behalf of those souls evolving on various rungs of the ladder of life, extending the grace and the mercy and the ritual of the seventh ray that they might find their own God-mastery, petal by petal.
Thus, the priest of the Order of Melchizedek is also self-effacing, his motto “He must increase, but I must decrease.”[4] The meaning of this statement made by John the Baptist is that the priest cedes his place to the one who comes after him, and he thereby ascends another level vibrationally. Therefore he does decree that the one who is capable of receiving his torch that is passed must increase in that position and he who does go on must decrease at that level, even as he, too, shall increase at the next level.[5]
The Priesthood of Melchizedek is very active on the earth today. In a landmark dictation given in Portland, Oregon, May 28, 1986, Saint Germain announced a dispensation whereby one hundred and forty-four thousand priests from the Priesthood of Melchizedek formed a violet-flame Maltese cross over the city:
Blessed ones, the event that brings me to this city is both ancient and recent. The ancient event, as recorded here in akasha, is a misuse of the light—in some cases by those who have reincarnated here and tarry for the opportunity to balance that karma, and in some cases by those who are not recalled to the scene of this misuse.
Beloved, there are many sincere hearts in this area and state, as you are well aware; for I count you among them most certainly. Therefore, I would intercede in a danger you know not of, which is the return of that karma, cycle for cycle, in this hour of planetary karma returning. The intercession, then, is invoked through the council of Lord Zadkiel’s retreat and the priesthood of Melchizedek.
There is a violet-ray priesthood, beloved. Therefore, during this meditation, a procession of priests of the sacred fire have marched from that retreat to this area, forming by their bodies of light a Maltese cross.... Thus, beloved, the four arms signify the release into Matter of a sacred fire.
The members of the order of this ancient priesthood are ascended masters all. They long ago attained that victory that is yours to enter in this hour. They come from ancient temples prior to the desecration thereof on lost continents where they themselves achieved the honor of the white fire and the entering therein. They have come, then, to give protection and an immense fire of transmutation that that return of karma might be mitigated or entirely consumed. This consuming and transmutation must take place in the physical through the intercession of yourselves and your heart flames receiving the violet flame, calling it forth, and welcoming a cooperative endeavor of these one hundred and forty-four thousand priests of the Order of Melchizedek who have placed their bodies this night in this giant Maltese-cross formation.
