The Ancient Hebrews did not think like any other nation. After all, they lived under the direct influence of YHVH, and later some, also, lived under the influence of YHVH's "Champion", Messiah Yahshua.

According to Strong's Concordance (which isn't purely without christopagan bias) the following are reminders of the definitions for the Greek terms of Kurios, and Theos.

KURIOS: (Kyrios), Strong's #2962: He who is "In Charge" or "In Authority" for a particular and / or for a specified realm of influence.

Kurios is a title that means "The Highest Ranking Member in Attendance" of a physical group of people OR as the topic of conversation. It does not positively identify anyone as YHVH or GOD.


THEOS: Strong's #2316: As a figure of speech, "A Godly Magistrate" or a "Righteous Divinity" with the meaning of "Godly" being Righteous.

Theos is a title given only to "The Righteous", and while all "Righteousness Seekers" may be called Theos (by someone of lower rank), because they too are "GODLY" it is usually reserved for when speaking to OR about a divinity of higher rank than oneself. Even so, Theos is not a title that is reserved strictly for GOD or YHVH.


KURIOS-THEOS: is the only known usage of the two words "Kurios" and "Theos" that has ever definitively been applied to YHVH only. This does not apply to "Kurios" being linked to "Theos" by a conjunction, such as "and". It is only applied when "Kurios" and "Theos" effectively become one word. Thus meaning "The Highest Ranking Divinity" in existence (YHVH).

  The bottom line is simple, YHVH has always had a history of using "Proxies" to interface with human beings, and YHVH works on a "Chain of Command" system too. YHVH is "Number One" and at the "TOP" of "The Chain of Command." YHVH has a second in command (on EARTH), who is Messiah Yahshua.  And so this brings us to the question of "Who was Melchisedec?", and "How does he or it fit into all of this?

Christianity (christopaganism) tries to teach that their Jesus Christ was both GOD and Pre-existent according to the polytheistic ''Mind Set',' and that he existed as "Melchisedec." Folks, neither Jesus Christ nor The True Messiah (Yahshua) can ever be YHVH or Melchisedec (Melchizedek), except according to The Chain of Command,and as acting as YHVH's Proxy, according to YHVH's WILL.

The interesting thing here is that "Melchisedec" was never meant to be a name. "Melchisedec" is actually a "Title of Honor", and is a transliteration of two Hebrew words, melek and tsedeq. The Hebrew melek means king and tsedeq means righteousness. Therefore, the term "Melchisedec" means literally, "King of Righteousness". The next logical question is, "To whom does the title of Melchisedec belong?" The answer to this question is quickly and easily seen as Our Eternal and Self-existent Creator, YHVH, by those with "Ears to Hear, and Eyes to See" in Hebrews chapters 6 and 7.

 
Hebrews 7:3 (Melchisedec or YHVH is)
3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but (Spiritually, as a Righteous or Sacred 'Mind Set' was) made like (as a Sacred Spiritual Image) unto the Son of Y'HVH; (therefore) abideth a priest continually (As YHVH's Proxy or Ambassador to mankind).

Melchizedek is an "Iconic Person"  who has become synonymous with being a MOST RIGHTEOUS King of Kings, and High Priest of YHVH. A "Shadow"  (of things to come) of a future "King of Kings" and "High Priest" of YHVH, and paralleled in Messiah Yahshua.

Genesis 14:18
¶ And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he [was] the priest (on behalf) of the most high GOD.

Here we can again see that YHVH does not personally interface directly with men, because "No man can literally see YHVH and live" (Exodus 33:20). HOWEVER, figuratively speaking, mankind can indirectly look at YHVH and still live by interfacing with YHVH's Sacred Spirit, which exists in all of YHVH's Champions, Proxies, Ambassadors, True Priests or Ministers and Servants, Prophets, Righteous Angels, and YHVH's 'Second in Command,' Messiah Yahshua. This does not, I repeat not, make them Melchisedec, BUT it does make them part of a "Select Group" according to . . . . .

. . . The Order of Melchisedec !!!
