156 God’s Workpatriarch. What is a patriarch? The Greek word, “patriarchea”refers to a “progenitor.”This is “a beginner” or “a starter.” It includes two Greek terms,“patria” and “arkho.” “Patria” denotes a “family,” “tribe” or “nation.”“Patria” would be “the father” or “progenitor” of the family,tribe or nation. “Arkho” equates to “being first” or “a father.”The patriarch is a starter - a progenitor of a family, tribe or nation.That is exactly what God promised Abraham in the covenant.Abraham was to be a father of many nations through whom “thepromised seed” (Christ) would come to bless all nations on earth.This is what The Order of Melchizedek was all about.This man, a human (and not Christ) was so great that Abrahamgave him a tithe (Hebrews 7:4). A tithe could only be given whenone doesn’t have the inheritance - as in the case of The LeviticalPriesthood. This was a total act of faith by Abraham as has beenproved. Why was Melchizedek so great that by tithing to him- God would prosper Abraham in all riches?Melchizedek, The RighteousThe word, “Melchizedek” comes from two Hebrew terms, “malkey”and “tsedaq.” “Malkey” originates from “meleck” which isa “king” or “royal.” “Hammeleck” is “a pagan king” or “meleck”which is The Sun King or Melchizedek - The King of The MostHigh God.There were many molecks (or kings) in the earth - but not afterGod. That is why God hated The Israelites for worshippingMoleck, The Sun King, rather than The True God. Melchizedekwas a King, but he was entirely different from the pagan kings
