The Order of Melchizedek and Christ Ahnsahnghong.

The Bible is a book of prophecy, testifying about Christ. Among the many prophecies about Christ, let’s recognize the Second Coming Christ, through the character Melchizedek. The order of Melchizedek reveals who God is in the last days. We sincerely hope that you will understand the Christ, who has been hidden for ages, so that you may receive salvation.
In B.C. 1920, Melchizedek, king of Salem, was the only priest who blessed Abraham through bread and wine; he had no father, or mother, or genealogy. The Bible prophesies that the Second Coming Christ will follow in the order of Melchizedek. We must recognize the true Christ, who follows in the order of Melchizedek, from the many men who claim that they are the Second Coming Christ.
Then, what is the order of Melchizedek?
The origin of Melchizedek

Heb. 5:11 『We have much to say about this[the order of Melchizedek], but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn.』

Why was it hard for Apostle Paul to explain about Melchizedek, even though he had much to say about him? First of all, let’s study the origin of Melchizedek.

Gen. 14: 18-20 『Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram…Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.』

Melchizedek, king of Salem, received Abraham who was returning from defeating the enemies. Melchizedek blessed Abraham through bread and wine, and then, Abraham gave him a tenth of everything.
When we study the Bible, we must keep in mind that the Old Testament is a copy and a shadow of the New Testament (Heb 10:1). Melchizedek, mentioned in the book of Genesis, also served as the shadow of a reality which was to come.
Jesus came in the order of MelchizedekLet us find out, through the Bible, who the reality of Melchizedek is.

Matt. 26:28 『While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”』

In the Old Testament, the physical Melchizedek blessed Abraham through bread and wine, and in the New Testament, Jesus the spiritual Melchizedek blessed His people with eternal life through the Passover bread and wine. Therefore, we can understand that the character Melchizedek represents Jesus.

Heb. 5:8-10 『Although he was a son, he…was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.』
This verse makes it clear that Jesus is the spiritual Melchizedek.
The explanations about MelchizedekApostle Paul said that it was hard for him to explain about Melchizedek. We can find the reason why in the verse below.

Heb 7:1-4 『This Melchizedek…Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever.』

1) “Without father or mother”It is impossible for anyone on this earth to be born without Father of Mother, for this reason we could understand that this characteristic must have a biblical meaning. The Bible acknowledges only those who believe in God as the father or the mother of a man (Matt. 12: 50). Thus, the words, “(Melchizedek is) without father or mother,” mean that the spiritual Melchizedek was to be born among unbelievers. As you know, however, Jesus was born of believers: Joseph and Mary.
2) “Without genealogy”Everyone on this earth has to have genealogy, for this reason we need to understand according to the Bible what is considered genealogy. In the Bible, “genealogy” refers to the twelve tribes of Israel, in other words with Jewish blood. The words, “(Melchizedek is) without genealogy,” mean that the spiritual Melchizedek would be born among the Gentiles, without Jewish blood; however, Jesus was born of the tribe of Judah (Matt. 1:1).
These were the characteristics of Melchizedek that Apostle Paul felt were too hard to explain.
The Second Coming Jesus, Ahnsahnghong, in the order of MelchizedekIn order to fulfill the prophecies of Melchizedek, Jesus is to come a second time. The Bible says that Jesus will come a second time.

Heb. 9:28 『…he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.』

The Second Coming Jesus will fulfill the prophecies of Melchizedek.1) He will bless us with eternal life through the Passover bread and wine.2) He will be born among unbelievers (”without father or mother”).3) He will be born of Gentiles (”without genealogy”).4) He is God (”without beginning of days or end of life”).
Christ Ahnsahnghong is the one who fulfilled all of these prophecies in 1918 when Christ Ahnsahnghong was born the majority of Korea was either Buddhist or Confucian; there was no trace of Christianity in Korea during that time, so it was impossible for Christ Ahnsahnghong to be born in a household of believers. Christ Ahnsahnghong was born in a Buddhist home; through this he fulfilled the characteristic of Melchizedek “without father or mother”.
After the destruction of Israel in 70 A.D. the Jews spread trough out the whole world, without a country of their own. They entered every nation, and mixed with the people of that nation, for this reason is very hard to tell who does not descends from a Jewish genealogy. But there was one country were the Jewish people never entered, but not only the Jews, but all other nations who didn’t belong to this one. And that was Korea, most popularly known as the “Hermit Kingdom”. The Korean people only until recent years began to accept other nations to come into their land, but before this they were very xenophobic. The Korean xenophobia even came to the extreme case where Korean women would commit suicide if they lost their chastity to another man other than their husband, and they would never mix with men from other nations. To the Korean people it was a dishonor to their culture and heritage to intermix with other nations. For this reason it is impossible for Christ Ahnsahnghong, who was born in Korea to have come from the twelve tribes of Israel, to have Jewish blood. In this way he fulfilled the characteristic of Melchizedek “No genealogy”.
How can we not believe in Him when all of the prophecies about the Second Coming Jesus testify that Ahnsahnghong is the Christ? The members of the Church of God believe that Ahnsahnghong is the Second Coming Christ our Savior, who came in the order of Melchizedek? The words of God testify about Him.

Isa. 25:6 『On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine the best of meats and the finest of wines …he will swallow up death forever…In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us.”』

Before the day of judgment comes, please accept Ahnsahnghong, the Second Coming Christ, who fulfilled the prophecies of Melchizedek. Christ Ahnsahnghong blessed us with eternal life through the bread and wine of the Passover. Therefore, He is our Savior.
Even if a man performs a great miracle or wonder, if he has not come in the order of Melchizedek, he cannot be the Second Coming Christ. Thus, although a man may be humble in appearance, if he follows in the order of Melchizedek, he is the Second Coming Christ.
Please recognize the Second Coming Christ through the words of the Bible so that you may receive salvation. The one who follows in the order of Melchizedek is the true God, our Savior.
