VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. Abraham gave a tithe to Melchizedek
"And Abraham gave to him a tenth portion of all [the spoil]."
The tithe or 10 percent belongs only to GOD. Melchizedek is Pre-Incarnate CHRIST, so CHRIST receives the tithes.
Genesis 28:22 (Amplified Bible)
28:22 And this stone which I have set up as a pillar (monument) shall be God’s house [a sacred place to me], and of all [the increase of possessions] that You give me I will give the tenth to You.
Leviticus 27:32 (Amplified Bible)
27:32 And all the tithe of the herd or of the flock, whatever passes under the herdsman’s staff [by means of which each tenth animal as it passes through a small door is selected and marked], the tenth shall be holy to the Lord.
Numbers 18:21 (Amplified Bible)
18:21 And, behold, I have given the Levites all the tithes in Israel for an inheritance in return for their service which they serve, the [menial] service of the Tent of Meeting.
B. Melchizedek means King of Righteousness. Melchizedek is also King of Salem meaning King of Peace
"He is primarily, as his name when translated indicates, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, which means king of peace"
Isaiah 9:6-7 (Amplified Bible)
9:6 For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], Prince of Peace.
9:7 Of the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from the [latter] time forth, even forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Ephesians 2:14-18 (Amplified Bible)
2:14 For He is [Himself] our peace (our bond of unity and harmony). He has made us both [Jew and Gentile] one [body], and has broken down (destroyed, abolished) the hostile dividing wall between us,
2:15 By abolishing in His [own crucified] flesh the enmity [caused by] the Law with its decrees and ordinances [which He annulled]; that He from the two might create in Himself one new man [one new quality of humanity out of the two], so making peace.
2:16 And [He designed] to reconcile to God both [Jew and Gentile, united] in a single body by means of His cross, thereby killing the mutual enmity and bringing the feud to an end.
2:17 And He came and preached the glad tidings of peace to you who were afar off and [peace] to those who were near.
2:18 For it is through Him that we both [whether far off or near] now have an introduction (access) by one [Holy] Spirit to the Father [so that we are able to approach Him].
JESUS CHRIST is King Melchizedek, Pre-Incarnate CHRIST, therefore JESUS CHRIST is King of Righteousness, and King of Peace.
IX. CONCLUSION:
I bring all my tithes to JESUS CHRIST, who is my King of Righteousness and my King of Peace.
