MELCHIZEDEK - King of Salem - Earth's Hero for 200,000 Years! Part 5: The Orient

This Saturday we continue our intriguing study on Machiventa Melchizedek. We ended our opening study of Paper 93 and we will begin this week with Paper 94, The Melchizedek Teachings in the Orient. Melchizedek is counted in the Bible, Hebrews 7:3, as one, "Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time." Melchizedek lived and taught on earth for 94 years. Urantia Papers 93-98 are devoted to Melchizedek with Papers 96 and 97 treating the Hebrew religion's evolution--the world religion most heavily influenced, at least initiated, by his teachings. Join us as we continue this amazing saga of Melchizedek, the Third Epochal Revelation of God to our world. In the last few weeks we learned that Melchizedek came to earth on an emergency mission because of the light of truth was nearly out on our world. He trained his messengers and dispatched them from Salem, now Jerusalem. This paper examines how his teachings spread in the Orient, and had a profound effect on the eastern religions. We will follow this with a study of the "Salem" or "Melchizedek missionaries" and their work from almost 4,000 years ago that prepared the way for the the Hebrew prophets, the teachers of the 6th century B.C., and the bestowal of Christ Michael, our own Jesus of Nazareth.                  Please join us for this rich and enlightening study of the remarkable Machiventa Melchizedek and his amazing revelation of simple faith and trust in God.
