In this lesson we begin with a recap of our completing the first four kings coverage. The recap is followed by a brief review of the general Fundamentals of Bible Prophecy podcast coverage up to this point. This class picks-up in Genesis 14, verse 18, which describes Abraham's interaction with this unique and peculiar king and priest of God, Melchizedek.

A summary of what is covered in this lesson:

- Abraham meets a unique 5th king named Melchizedek.

- Review of Abraham's calling and his life, the sacrificing of Isaac scenario and pursuing the city of God.

- Review the generally parallel paths of Israel and then the church in Abraham and through the Gentile world rule (Babylonian system) until the "stone" smites the feet of iron and clay.

- Melchizedek, priest of the Most High God speaks to delivering Israel from the hands of the final rendition of the four kings - at the bottom of Nebuchadnezzar's statue - at the end of the Age.

- Melchizedek institutes the bread and wine symbols of communion well before Christ comes - well before there was an Israel and Judah through which He had to come.

- We'll follow the history to its only conclusion: Jesus Christ's return and reign during the Millennial kingdom as God declared in Psalm 110, and in Hebrews 5:6 - "You (capital 'Y' meaning Jesus Christ) are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek."

Join us as we continue to look deeply into these prophetic characters' lives, and the deep instructional and prophetic value God gave them to bring to us through the centuries of Biblical history!
