[1] {Melchizedek} [2] {most high God}
[1] Melchizedek, type of Christ the King-Priest. The type strictly
applies to the priestly work of Christ in \\resurrection\\, since
Melchizedek presents only the \\memorials\\ of sacrifice, bread and
wine. "After the order of Melchizedek"
# Heb 6:20
refers to the royal \\authority\\ and unending \\duration\\ of Christ's
high priesthood
# Heb 7:23,24
The Aaronic priesthood was often interrupted by death.
Christ is a priest after the \\order\\ of Melchizedek, as King of
righteousness, King of peace
# Isa 11:4-9 Heb 7:2
and in the \\endlessness\\ of his priesthood; but the Aaronic priesthood
typifies His priestly \\work\\
[2] "Most high," or "most high God" (Heb. \\El Elyon\\). "\\Elyon\\ means
simply "highest."
(1) The first revelation of this name (v. 18) indicates its distinctive
meanings. Abram, returning from his victory over the confederated kings
# Ge 14:1-17
is met by Melchizedek, King of Salem . . . the "priest of
the most high God" (El Elyon), who blesses Abram in the name of El
Elyon, "possessor of heaven and earth." This revelation produced a
remarkable impression upon the patriarch. Not only did he at once
give Melchizedek "tithes of all" the spoil of the battle, but when the
King of Sodom offered other of that spoil to Abram, his answer was;
"I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord [Jehovah], the most high God
[El-Elyon], the possessor of heaven and earth, that I will not take
from a thread even to a shoelatchet," etc.
# Ge 14:18-23
(a) The Lord (Jehovah) is know to a \\Gentile\\ king (Melchizedek) by
the name "most high god" [El Elyon); (b) a \\Gentile\\ is the priest
of El Elyon and (c) His distinctive \\character\\ as most high God is
"possessor of heaven and earth."
Appropriately to this Gentile knowledge of God by His name "Most
High," we read that "the Most High divided to the nations [i.e.
Gentiles] their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam,"
etc.
# De 32:8
As "\\possessor\\ heaven and earth," it was the
prerogative of the Most High to distribute the earth among the
nations according to whatever principle He chose. That principle is
declared Deu 32.8. To the same purport is the use of the name in
Daniel, the book of Gentile prophecy
# Da 3:26 4:17,24,25,32,34,35 5:18,21
(2) As "possessor of heaven and earth," the most high God has and
exercises authority in both spheres: (a) the heavenly authority of El
Elyon (e.g.
# Da 4:35,37 Isa 14:13,14 Mt 28:18
(b) the earthly authority of El Elyon (e.g).
# De 32:8 Ps 9:2-5 21:7 47:2-4 56:2,3 82:6,8 83:16-18 91:9-12
# 2Sa 22:14,15 Da 5:18

[1] {Lord} [2] {God}
[1] "Lord" (Heb. Adon, Adonai)
(1) The primary meaning of \\Adon, Adonai\\, is Master, and it is
applied in the Old Testament Scriptures both to Deity and to man.
The latter instances are distinguished in the English version by the
omission of the capital. As applied to man, the word is used of two
relationships; \\master\\ and \\husband\\
# Ge 24:9,10,12
"master" may illustrate the former;
# Ge 18:12
"lord," the latter). Both these
relationships exist between Christ and the believer
# Joh 13:13
"master";
# 2Co 11:2
"husband").
(2) Two principles inhere in the relation of master and servant: (a)
the Master's right to implicit obedience
# Joh 13:13 Mt 23:10 Lu 6:46
(b) the servant's right to direction in service
# Isa 6:8-11
Clear distinction in the use of the divine names is illustrated in
# Ex 4:10-12
Moses feels his weakness and incompetency, and "Moses said
unto the Lord [Jehovah], O my Lord [Adonai], I am not eloquent," etc.
Since \\service\\ is in question, Moses appropriately addresses
Jehovah as Lord. But now \\power\\ is in question, and it not the
Lord (Adonai) but Jehovah (Lord) who answers (referring to creation
power)--"and Jehovah said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? . .
Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth." The same
distinction in
# Jos 7:8-11
See, for other names of Deity:
» See Note "Ge 14:18"
[2] "Lord God" (Heb. Adonai Jehovah). When used distinctively, this
compound name, while gathering into one the special meanings of each
» See Note "Ge 2:4"
» See Note "Ge 15:2"
will be found to emphasize the Adonai rather than the Jehovah
character of Deity. (The following passages may suffice to illustrate
this:)
# Ge 15:2,8 De 3:24 9:26 Jos 7:7 Jud 6:22 16:28 2Sa 7:18-20,28,29
# 1Ki 2:26 Ps 69:6 71:5 Isa 7:7

[3] {covenant}
The Abrahamic Covenant as formed
# Ge 12:1-4
and confirmed
# Ge 13:14-17 15:1-7 17:1-8
is in seven distinct parts:
(1) "I will make of thee a great nation." Fulfilled in a threefold way:
(a) In a natural posterity--"as the dust of the \\earth\\
# Ge 13:16 Joh 8:37
viz. the Hebrew people. (b) In a spiritual posterity--"look now
toward \\heaven\\ . . . so shall thy seed be"
# Joh 8:39 Ro 4:16,17 9:7,8 Ga 3:6,7,29
viz. all men of faith, whether Jew or Gentile. (c) fulfilled also
through Ishmael
# Ge 17:18-20
(2) "I will bless thee." Fulfilled in two ways: (a) temporally
# Ge 13:14,15,17 15:18 24:34,35
(b) spiritually
# Ge 15:6 Joh 8:56
(3) "And make thy name great." Abraham's is one of the universal names.
(4) "And thou shalt be a blessing"
# Ga 3:13,14
(5) "I will bless them that bless thee." In fulfilment closely related
to the next clause.
(6) "And curse him that curseth thee." Wonderfully fulfilled in the
history of the dispersion. It has invariably fared ill with the people
who have persecuted the Jew--well with those who have protected him. The
future will still more remarkably prove this principle
# De 30:7 Isa 14:1, Joe 3:1-8 Mic 5:7-9 Hag 2:22 Zec 14:1-3 Mt 25:40,45
(7) "In thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed." This is
the great evangelic promise fulfilled in Abraham's Seed, Christ
# Ga 3:16 Joh 8:56-58
It brings into greater definiteness the promise of the Adamic Covenant
concerning the Seed of the woman
# Ge 3:15
NOTE.--The gift of the land is modified by prophecies of three
dispossessions and restorations
# Ge 15:13,14,16 Jer 25:11,12 De 28:62-65 30:1-3
Two dispossessions and restorations have been accomplished.
Israel is now in the third dispersion, from which she will be restored
at the return of the Lord as King under the Davidic Covenant
# De 30:3 Jer 23:5-8 Eze 37:21-25 Lu 1:30-33 Ac 15:14-17
See, for the other seven covenants: EDENIC (Ge 1.28); ADAMIC (Ge 3.15);
NOAHIC (Ge 9.1); MOSAIC (Ex 19.25); PALESTINIAN (Deu 30.3); DAVIDIC (2Sa
7.16); NEW (Heb 8.8).

[1] {Hagar}
Hagar is a type of the law "which gendereth to bondage"
# Ga 4:24,25
