WHO IS THIS
MELCHISEDEC 65-0221E 140 Then one day He had need to go to Samaria.
But just before we do that, we found the woman, or the man as he went through
the gate called Beautiful, that he was healed, and Jesus knowed his condition,
and told him, "Take up your bed and go on home." And he did it and
got well. Then we find out the Jews, some of them received Him; some
believed it; some didn't. Why didn't they believe it? They was not ordained to
Life. They wasn't part of that attribute. Now, remember, them were priests
and great men. And Jesus... Think of those theologians and priests, men that
you couldn't find a flaw in their life. Jesus said, "You are of your
father the devil, and his works you do." Said, "If you'd be of God,
you'd believe Me. If you can't believe Me, believe--believe the works that I
do; they testify Who I am." Now, the Bible said that Jesus is the same
yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus said, "The works that I do shall he
that believeth on Me do also." That right? Notice, that was the real
Melchisedec now.

Now, notice again. There was only three races of people. You've heard me
say I was a segregationalist. I am. All Christians are
segregationists, not segregation of color, but segregation of spirit. A
man's color of his skin has nothing to do with him. He's a child of God by
birth. But a Christian, God said, "Separate Me; come out from among
them, and so forth." He is a segregationist of filth, between right and
wrong. But notice, they had a segregation then, a racial segregation, which
was the Samaritans. And there's only three races of people on the earth if we
believe the Bible; that is Ham, Shem, and Japheth's people. That's the three
sons of Noah. We all sprung from there. That's right. That makes us all back
from Adam, which makes us all brothers. The Bible said, "Of one blood God
created all nations." We're all brothers through the blood stream. A
colored man can give a white man a blood transfusion or vice versa. The white
man can give the--the Japanese, yellow man, or the Indian, the red man, or
whatmore, or Japhanite [?--Ed.] or whatever. He could give him a blood
transfusion, 'cause we're all the same blood. The color of our skin, where we
lived, had nothing to do with it. But when we're segregated is when we come out
of the world, like He brought Israel up out of Egypt. That's when we're
segregated from the things of the world.
GENESIS 13: 8 And
Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee,
and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we [be] brethren. 9 [Is] not the whole land before thee?
separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if [thou wilt take] the left hand, then
I will go to the right; or if [thou depart] to the right hand, then I will go
to the left. 10 ¶
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it
[was] well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah,
[even] as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto
Zoar. 11 Then Lot chose him all the
plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one
from the other. 12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and
Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched [his] tent toward Sodom.
LEVITICUS 15:30 And the priest shall offer the one [for] a
sin offering, and the other [for] a burnt offering; and the priest shall make
an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.31 Thus shall ye separate the children of
Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when
they defile my tabernacle that [is] among them. 32 This [is] the law of him that hath an issue, and [of him] whose
seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;
LEVITICUS 22:1 ¶ And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2
Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the
holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name
[in those things] which they hallow unto me: I [am] the LORD. 3 Say unto them, Whosoever [he be] of all
your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the
children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that
soul shall be cut off from my presence: I [am] the LORD.
NUMBERS 6:1 ¶ And the
LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say
unto them, When either man or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a vow of
a Nazarite, to separate [themselves] unto the LORD: 3 He shall separate [himself] from wine and strong drink, and
shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he
drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried. 4 All the days of his separation shall he
eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
NUMBERS 8:13 And thou
shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them [for]
an offering unto the LORD. 14 Thus
shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the
Levites shall be mine. 15 And after
that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them [for] an offering.
16 For they [are] wholly given unto
me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, [even
instead of] the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto
me.
Deuteronomy 29:21:etc.
EZRA 10:10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them,
Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of
Israel. 11 Now therefore make
confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate
yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives. 12 Then all the congregation answered and
said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do. 13 But the people [are] many, and [it is] a
time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither [is this] a
work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
MATTHEW 25:31 ¶ When the Son of man shall come in his glory,
and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his
glory: 32 And before him shall be
gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a
shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on
the left.
II CORINTHIANS 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with
unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and
what communion hath light with darkness? 15
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that
believeth with an infidel? 16 And
what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the
living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I
will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith
the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye
shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
HEBREWS 7:24 But
this [man], because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Wherefore he is able also to save
them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make
intercession for them. 26 For such an
high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners,
and made higher than the heavens; 27
Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice,
first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when
he offered up himself. 28 For the law
maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which
was since the law, [maketh] the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
