Psalm 110:1. With regard to the Hebrew definition of the word "LORD" and "Lord" in the Scripture, "The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." It is obvious the first use of the word "LORD" refers to [Yehovah] or Jehovah (Jewish national name of God), while the use of the second word "Lord" [adown] or sovereign, controller, Lord, master, owner, etc. refers to David calling Yeshua his Lord and Master. The Bible describes the monotheism of God as ONE God in UNITY with three separate but distinct personalities and bodies: The Bible teaches that there is a Divine Godhead (Trinity) and it is comprised of three distinct entities that are one in unity and purpose. A very clear illustration of these distinctions can be seen in Matthew 3:16-17, "And 1Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the 2Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a 3voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Therefore, the Divine Trinity can be illustrated by the evidence of
three separate and distinct persons, of which
each one has His own individual spirit body, personal soul, and personal
spirit. It was this construct of design that God used when making human
beings. "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness..." (Genesis 1:26). Therefore, the body, whether spiritual or
physical, merely provides housing for the soul and spirit.
Thus, "The invisible things of him from the creation of the
world are clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they
are without excuse" (Romans 1:20).
In addition, after God had created Adam, He said, "...it is not
good that the man should be alone; I will make him
an help meet for him ...Therefore shall a man leave his father
and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be
one flesh" (Genesis 2:18-24).
The Father is the head of Christ (I Corinthians 11:3), the Son is the
Only Begotten of the Father (John 1:14), and
the Holy Ghost proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son (John
14:16; Acts 2:33-37).
Jesus now sets on the right hand of His Father while His Kingdom seed
that He sowed prior to His crucifixion matures of fruit, awaiting His
final harvest (Matthew 13:37-43). The fire spoken of in Malach 4:1-3, "For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch: ..." This day is the "Great and Notable Day of the Lord", the second advent of Christ. The fire that will burn up the proud and the wicked like stubble, leaving nothing of their bodies, will be the fire and brimstone spoken of in Ezekiel 38:17-23 and the flaming fire that will go out before Christ and His angels and Saints. This is the consuming fire of the battle of Armageddon on the day of Christ's second advent. The proud and the wicked will not be consigned to the eternal Lake of Fire until after the second resurrection, but are currently being temporally held in Hell (Luke 16:19-21). They will be resurrected and judged at the Great White Throne judgment and rewarded according to their deeds done while in the body (Revelation 20:13). Then, they shall be cast alive, never to burn up, into a lake of fire to be tormented both day and night forever. (Isaiah 66:22-24; Matthew 25:41,46; Mark 9:41-49; Revelation 14:9-11; 20:11-15). Thus, the "burning up" of this passage only refers to the death and destruction of the mortal, physical body and not to the death of the eternal soul, spirit, and resurrected body. The Messiah was not to come after the "linage" of Melchizedek, but rather after the [order] of the great high priest Melchizedek (Psalm 110:4). The Hebrew word for "order" is "dibrah" meaning a reason, suit or style. This [dibrah] does not refer to a physical or biological lineage, but a likeness or similarity to individual characteristics. Melchizedek had no genealogical record of his beginning of days nor his ending of days and he was an elected high priest of God. Thus became the likeness of Yeshua in relation to His eternal Father. "In the beginning was the Word, [Not Yeshua] and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, [Yeshua] and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the father,) full of grace as of truth" (St. John 1:1,14). Jesus' biological lineage to the tribe of Judah (Isaiah 11:1) through Joseph was one of adoption. The Bible teaches that while the Mosaic Law forbade the removal of inheritance from tribe to tribe, "So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers" (Numbers 36:7), exception was made for adoption. "Now Sheshan had no sons, but daughters. And Sheshan had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Jarha. And Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant to wife; and she bare him Attai" (I Chronicles 2:34-35). Although, the Mosaic Law forbade this, "This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry" (Numbers 36:6). Thus, an Egyptian became heir to Sheshan by marring his daughter. The father's inheritance could then remain in the family through the daughter. To this end, the adopted son of Sheshan became a son and a legal heir of the tribe of Judah (vs. 34-41). So the priesthood of the Messiah after the order of Melchizedek is as follows:
