And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abraham of the most high God, possessor of heavens and earth:

And he blessed him, and he…

And blessed be the most high God, which has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him a tithe of all.

I love it. Notice now, after Abraham, the spiritual picture here, Abraham; “his brother” that had gone astray. A picture of the true Church, or the true believer of God, that’s blessed of God, and has the promise of God, has the covenant of God, and has faith in the covenant.

Now think. If you’ll count here, there was around ten or fifteen kings went out there, and, probably, how many servants did they have?

But Abraham counted what he had that was faithful, “born in his own house.” Oh, my! The faithful, “born in his own house.” It was his servants who he had circumcised, that was included in the same promise that he was. And he went after his backslidden brother, and pursued with a little handful of men, of three hundred and eighteen men; after the kings, and overcome them, and took them and slew them. And brought back all that was lost.

Perfect picture of Christ! And the Church, the Holy Spirit leading the faithful that’s born in the same house of the Holy Ghost where Christ was born, pursuing after the wayward and backslidden. And slaying every evil thing that’s overcome them. Amen! Overcoming sin, laying aside all the weights. Speaking to the people about their lusts and the things they’re doing; cut it off! Their sicknesses and all; preaching to them the Gospel, and bringing them back into full fellowship with God.
