<TITLE>08. Par 64-72</TITLE>L-64 Melchisedec, the King of Salem, also represented Himself among the other kings. And notice, the battle was over, the Spirit of God in Abraham, of Christ, that had brought back his fallen brother, then restored him back to his rightful condition, to all that he had lost. He had brought it back. And when he did, He brought out bread and wine, the communion. Can't you see who that Melchisedec was? It was God. Brought out the communion, after the battle.

L-65   Now let us turn again, to Matthew 26:26, right quick, and see what Jesus said here about that. In the Book of Matthew, the 26th chapter and also the 26th verse, we want to read just a little bit here. All right, Matthew 26:26.
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Golgotha, Golgotha... or Gethsemane, I mean, and said unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder to pray.

L-66 I believe I've got the wrong Scripture. Matthew, the twenty-... 26th verse of the 26th chapter. If somebody has it, read it for me, if you--if you can find it. Just a minute. This is a beautiful type here. I don't want you to miss it. Here we are. That's got it, sister.
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it,...
What was it? The battle was over.
... brake it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, Take, and eat; this is my body.

L-67   See that Melchisedec? Hundreds of years before, when He met Abraham, after the battle was over, He gave bread and wine. And here Jesus gives the disciples, after His hard battle was over, He gave them bread and wine. Watch. Watch the future Coming.
And he took the cup, and--and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for... sins and remission of sins.
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom.

L-68   We are in the battle now. We're after our fallen brother, that God, before the foundation of the world, saw and predestinated unto Eternal Life. And the things of the world has got him caught up in a whirlwind. He's out into societies and classes, him and his wife, walking up-and-down the streets, smoking and drinking and carousing, trying to find peace. And the Spirit of Christ in us, as it would be in Abraham, we're gone after him. With all the armors of God, the Angels of God encamped about, we're gone to bring back our fallen brother.

L-69   And when the battle is finally ended, we will meet Melchisedec again, bless God, who blessed Abraham there, and gave him the blessing, and give him bread and wine, the communion. And when the battle is over, we'll meet Him. We who are the heirs of the promise of Abraham, joint heirs with Christ in the Kingdom, shall meet Him at the end of the road, and take bread and wine, again, when the battle is over.

L-70 Who is this Melchisedec? "The One that had no father, had no mother, had no beginning of days or the ending of life." He will be There to give the communion again. You get it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-71   When we pull up, on certain nights, when we come together and take communion from the hands of the ministers, representing that we believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus, that--that veil, His body that He was inveiled in, God. We take it, as a representative, "We are dead to the things of the world, and been born anew of the Spirit." And we walk with the Body of Christ, all the believers together.

L-72 When the great battle is finished, and we come up again with Christ, we'll take the communion with Him in the Kingdom of God, anew; and eat the flesh, and drink the blood of the grape again, in the Kingdom of God. Oh! There is Melchisedec. That's who He was.
