Genesis 49: 10 (King James Version) The sceptre shall not depart from
Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto
him shall the gathering of the people be.

Genesis 49:10 (Holman Christian Standard Bible) The scepter will not
depart from Judah, or the staff from between his feet, until He whose right it
is comes and the obedience of the peoples belongs to Him.

The Shiloh is a figure mentioned in the Hebrew Bible in


Genesis 49:10 as part of the benediction given by Jacob
to his son Judah.

Judah was prophesied to possess the sceptre, and either


the lawgiver or the shepherd’s staff depending on
translations. The lawgiver (Hebrew: khaw-kak') mentioned
in the King James version is an object that represents the
King’s seal, which is usually a ring that is used to cut out,
engrave, or mark out a seal that ratifies a new law and
makes it executory.

Thus, Jacob gave the tribe of Judah the right to rule as


kings, pass laws as lawmakers, and to protect and provide
for all the tribes of Israel like shepherds for their sheep.
However, these rights were not meant to last forever since
Judah was not Jacob’s first born son, and therefore has no
right to dominate his siblings. Thus, Jacob’s word “until”
which ends Judah’s dominance among Israel’s tribes
when Shiloh, or the one who possesses the rights and
blessings of a first born, finally comes.

Reuben was actually Jacob’s first born by his first wife


Leah, but he was disinherited by Jacob for having had
sexual activity with Bilhah, his step-mother's maid and
father's concubine; see Genesis 49: 3-4.

Now Jacob had another first born by his second wife


Rachel, namely Joseph who was actually Jacob’s favorite
son. And according to the following scripture, Jacob gave
Reuben's birthright as firstborn to Joseph:

1Chronicles 5: 1-2 Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel—he was
indeed the firstborn, but because he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright
was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, so that the genealogy is
not listed according to the birthright; yet Judah prevailed over his brothers,
and from him came a ruler, although the birthright was Joseph’s ...

In this video I will show why Shiloh will come from


Joseph’s tribe who will take the sceptre, and either the
lawgiver or the shepherd’s staff away from the tribe of
Judah. It is quite obvious that it was Joseph who received
the right and blessings of a first born among Jacob’s
twelve sons based on the following benediction:

Genesis 49: 26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the
blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills:
they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him
that was separate from his brethren.

Joseph’s double portion blessings as first born was


evident when the land of Israel was divided into twelve
sections corresponding to the twelve tribes of Israel. The
tribe of Joseph, through Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and
Manasseh, received two sections of the promised land as
their portion.

Now here is the scripture which made me believe Shiloh


will come from the tribe of Joseph:

Genesis 49: 22-24 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a


well; whose branches run over the wall: The archers have sorely grieved
him, and shot at him, and hated him: But his bow abode in strength, and
the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of
Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)

The imagery being portrayed in these verses is clearly that


of Joseph stretching his bow with his arms, and God
holding Joseph’s arm to help Joseph stretch the bow even
further. The reference to “the stone of Israel” from
Joseph’s bow in this verse implies that Joseph was using
a sharpened stone for his arrowhead. It should be noted
that the oldest arrow ever found is likewise stone-tipped.

Now note that Genesis 49: 24 also calls “the stone of


Israel” from Joseph’s bow as the “shepherd of Israel”.
Quite obviously “the shepherd of Israel” referred to in this
verse who is also “the stone of Israel”, can neither be
Joseph who carries the bow and stone-tipped arrow with
his arms, nor God whose hands hold Joseph’s arms to
strengthen Joseph. As the archer nor the one helping the
archer behind can be the stone-tipped arrow aimed at
shooting Joseph’s enemies. Thus my conclusion is that
“the stone of Israel” at the tip of Joseph’s arrow could only
be the Shiloh prophesied by Jacob which I said earlier will
come from Joseph’s tribe.

Now compare this imagery to the imagery being portrayed


in the following verses:

Revelation 6:1-2 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I
heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come
and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had
a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and
to conquer.

Here we see an archer riding a white horse holding a bow


without an arrow and being given a crown. I believe the
reason why the rider of the white horse is not having an
arrow is because the rider himself is the “arrow” or “the
stone of Israel'' at the tip of Joseph’s arrow! In other
words, the archer riding a white horse is the Shiloh himself
who is now claiming the crown out of Judah’s hands
through Judah’s representative, namely the “Lamb” who is
also “the Lion of the tribe of Judah”. See Revelation 5:5-6.
Many scholars associate “the stone (Hebrew: eh'-ben) of
Israel'' with the God of Israel who is called “the Rock
(Hebrew: tsoor) of Israel”, see 2 Samuel 23:3. However,
while an eh’ben can mean stone (whether large or small),
tsoor always refers to a block of stone, a boulder, or a cliff.
So for me, the eh’-ben of Israel in Genesis 49:24 is not the
same as the tsoor of Israel in 2 Samuel 23:3.

But if the Shiloh who I believe is a descendant of Joseph


holds the birthright for the crown, then why did Jacob give
the scepter, the lawgiver, and the staff mentioned in
Genesis 49:10 first to Judah and not to Joseph right
away?

The answer lies in what happened at the time when the


people of Israel led by Moses is about to enter the
promised land. Moses sent 12 spies, one from every tribe
of Israel to scout the promised land in preparation for their
planned invasion and takeover of its inhabitants. Please
read Numbers 13: 1-16.

However after the 12 spies returned, 10 of the 12 spies,


excluding Caleb who represented Judah, and Hoshea later
named Joshua who represented Ephraim, spread among
the Israelites a bad report about the promised land they
had explored, saying:
Numbers 13:31-33 “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than
we are... The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we
saw there are of great size. We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of
Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own
eyes, and we looked the same to them.”

As a result of this bad report from the 10 spies, all the


members of the Israelite community raised their voices
and wept aloud and grumbled against Moses and Aaron.
This provoked the Lord to pronounce the following
punishment against the Israelites:

Numbers 14: 28-30 As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you
the very thing I heard you say: In this wilderness your bodies will fall—
every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census
and who has grumbled against me. Not one of you will enter the land I
swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of
Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

Although both Caleb who represented Judah and Joshua


who represented Ephraim, son of Joseph, both showed
their faith in God, Caleb from the tribe of Judah was
singled out for his outstanding spirit which excelled even
that of Joshua’s from the tribe of Ephraim:

Numbers 14: 24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and
follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his
descendants will inherit it.

And this is the reason why the scepter, the lawgiver, and
the staff mentioned in Genesis 49:10 have to be given first
to the tribe of Judah before it is passed on to Joseph, and
more specifically to the tribe of Ephraim.

Furthermore, the courage shown by Joshua who


represented Ephraim and the cowardice shown by Gaddi
who represented Manasseh, is the reason given by Torah
scholars to justify why Jacob gave Ephraim (Joseph’s
second son) precedence over Manasseh (Joseph’s first
born).

Thus the blessings Jacob gave to his 12 sons were based


not only on the actions his sons did while Jacob was still
alive, but more importantly on what the descendants of his
12 sons will be doing in the future in the promised land!

Now according to Strong’s concordance the word Shiloh


can have 2 meanings in the Bible, the first being an epithet
of the Messiah whom Jacob describes as the rightful
leader of the Israeli people, and the second being a city in
Ephraim and temporary home of the Ark of the Covenant
and the Tabernacle.

Interestingly, a city called Taanathshiloh (which means


"approach to Shiloh") was allotted to the tribe of Ephraim,
see Joshua 16: 5-6. Now was it just a coincidence that
Shiloh, the rightful leader of the Israeli people was also the
name of a city given to Ephraim? If not then this is one
more reason why I believe Shiloh is a descendant of
Ephraim, the second son of Joseph.

Furthermore, in most traditional Jewish thoughts and


writings, Shiloh is associated with the Messiah, and this
gave rise to the Jewish belief on ‘Messiah ben (or son of)
Joseph’ or more specifically ‘Messiah ben (or son of)
Ephraim’:

Wikipedia, Messianic tradition: Jewish tradition alludes to four messianic


figures, called the Four Craftsmen, from a vision found in the Book of
Zechariah. These four craftsmen are Messiah ben David, Messiah ben
Joseph, Elijah, and the Righteous Priest. Each will be involved in ushering
in the Messianic age.

Rashi in his commentary on the Talmud gives more details. Rashi explains
that Messiah ben Joseph is called a craftsman because he will help rebuild
the temple. Nahmanides also commented on Messiah ben Joseph's
rebuilding of the temple.

If necessary, Messiah ben Joseph will wage war against the evil forces and
die in combat with the enemies of God and Israel... God will then resurrect
the dead and usher in the Messianic Era of universal peace. Messiah ben
David will reign as a Jewish king during the period when God will resurrect
the dead.

The Hebrew word maw-shee'-akh means anointed; usually


a consecrated person (as a king, priest, or saint). Israeli
rabbis believe in 4 Messiahs, one is a saint or prophet,
namely Elijah, one is a priest, the unnamed Righteous
Priest, and 2 are rulers or kings, Messiah ben Joseph and
Messiah ben David.
Messiah ben Joseph is expected to rule during the last
days, during the time of Jacob’s trouble, so he can wage
war against the enemies of God and save Israel out of
adversity.

Jeremiah 30: 7 & 21 (New International Version) How awful that day will be!
No other will be like it. It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be
saved out of it... Their leader will be one of their own; their ruler will arise
from among them. I will bring him near and he will come close to me— for
who is he who will devote himself to be close to me? declares the Lord.

In contrast Messiah ben David is expected to reign as a


Jewish king during the period when God will resurrect the
dead after the time of Jacob’s trouble has already passed,
in order to usher in the Messianic Era of universal peace.

Matthew 24: 29-31 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the
sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall
fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then
shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the
tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the
clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels
with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect
from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Jesus has clearly declared himself to be Messiah ben


David when he said he will come after the tribulation when
the era of peace is about to commence. Messiah ben
David will not be the one to save the elect from the great
tribulation, it will be the job of Messiah ben Joseph. Jesus
will simply gather his elect together in one place coming
from the four winds after they have already emerged
victorious from persecution and enslavery.
But the question is who is Messiah ben Joseph who will
come during the tribulation to liberate Israel from its
enemies? The answer is clearly given to us by simply
continuing Jeremiah 30: 7 which I quoted earlier:
Jeremiah 30: 7-9 How awful that day will be! No other will be like it. It will
be a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be saved out of it. “‘In that day,’
declares the Lord Almighty, ‘I will break the yoke off their necks and will
tear off their bonds; no longer will foreigners enslave them. Instead, they
will serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for
them.

It will be David, not Jesus, who will fight for and save all of
God’s worshippers during the tribulation, including a great
crowd coming from different nations and not just Israel.
See Revelation 7: 9-10. However, David will be doing this
work of salvation in the name of God and of Jesus Christ.
But how can David be Messiah ben Joseph or the son of
Joseph when clearly he was the son of Judah? David
quite obviously is already dead which is why God will have
to raise him up during the tribulation. But how will God
raise David? Will it be by resurrection or by reincarnation?
The only way David can become Messiah ben Joseph or
the Shiloh is if God will reincarnate him as a descendant of
Joseph, and more specifically of Ephraim.
And since David has already ruled Israel as a descendant
of Judah and will be ruling it again as a descendant of
Ephraim, he alone has the right to hold both the stick of
Judah and the stick of Ephraim and join them one to
another into one stick:
Ezekiel 37: 15-25 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For
Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another
stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the
house of Israel his companions: And join them one to another into one
stick; and they shall become one in thine hand...

And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the
children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and I will
gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will
make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one
king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations,
neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.

And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one
shepherd... and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

The just quoted prophecy tells us that one of the signs of


the second coming of David as Messianic king will be the
gathering of the children of Israel into their own land.
Another sign will be the full restoration of Temple worship:

Hosea 3: 4-5 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a
king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image
[Hebrew: mats-tsay-baw'], and without an ephod, and without teraphim.
Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God,
and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter
days.
The mats-tsay-baw' or image mentioned in verse 4 that
will be seen when David becomes king of Israel will be the
only graven image allowed but is hidden inside the Most
Holy of the Temple, namely, the 2 cherubim engraved in
the Ark of the Covenant.

The teraphim which is a Hebrew word from the Bible found


only in the plural, and are believed to be involved with the
process of cleromancy or the casting of lots to reveal the
will of God, will be the Urim and Thummim which are
elements of the breastplate worn by the High Priest.

Now the prophecy of Hosea 3: 4-5 was written before the


destruction of the first Temple. However according to
Yoma 21b verse 7 of the Mishnah and the Talmud, the Ark
of the Covenant and the Urim and Thummim were not
present during the second Temple period. Therefore the
fulfillment of Hosea 3: 4-5 will yet be in the near future
when the third Temple will be built by Messiah ben
Joseph, and the Ark of the Covenant and the Urim and
Thummim are recovered.

There is a Psalm by David that when understood and


interpreted correctly will show that there are indeed 2
Messiahs sitting side by side the God of Israel. This is
Psalm 110. I will be discussing this whole chapter verse by
verse, and by the time I finish discussing it, my claim that
there are 2 Messiahs sitting with God in heaven should
have been proven.

Psalm 110: 1 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I
make thine enemies thy footstool.

This famous verse has been quoted several times in the


New Testament where it was applied to Jesus’ ascension
to heaven and sitting at the right hand of God after being
resurrected. Peter talked about it at Acts 2: 30-35.

Furthermore, Psalm 110: 1 is telling us that Jesus has to


remain sitting at the right hand of God in heaven and
unable to return to earth and rule as king until God first
makes Jesus’ enemies his footstool and the time for
restoring everything to their original perfect state has
arrived.

Luke 19: 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country
to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

Acts 3: 20-21 and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed
for you—even Jesus. Heaven must receive him until the time comes for
God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy
prophets

But why does God have to be the one to make war with
Jesus’ enemies, making them his footstool, instead of
Jesus having to fight his enemies himself? While sitting at
the right hand of God in heaven, Jesus is in the process of
building a spiritual house for God, namely the
congregation of his faithful followers:

1 Peter 2: 5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy


priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus
Christ.

And just like the builder of the physical temple or house of


God on earth, the builder of the spiritual house of God in
heaven must be a man of peace who has not shed human
blood in warfare:

1 Chronicles 22: 6-10 Then he called for his son Solomon and charged him
to build a house for the Lord, the God of Israel. David said to Solomon: “My
son, I had it in my heart to build a house for the Name of the Lord my God.
But this word of the Lord came to me: ‘You have shed much blood and
have fought many wars. You are not to build a house for my Name,
because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.

But you will have a son who will be a man of peace and rest, and I will give
him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon,and
I will grant Israel peace and quiet during his reign. He is the one who will
build a house for my Name.

But will God personally fight Jesus’ enemies himself or will


God use someone else to fight the bloody wars for Him?

Psalm 110: 2 (New International Version) The Lord will extend your mighty
scepter from Zion, saying, “Rule in the midst of your enemies!”

Who is Jesus’ mighty scepter from Zion whom God will tell
to rule in the midst of his enemies? I believe this mighty
scepter will be the Shiloh who I mentioned earlier in this
video will take the scepter and the crown of Israel from
Jesus Christ, “the Lion of the tribe of Judah”. And this
Shiloh will be the reincarnation of David who will be a
descendant of Ephraim and not of Judah.

In my previous video titled “Zion & Salem was Bethlehem


& not Jerusalem & Christ was born in the tomb of the
Patriarchs at Machpelah! “ I discussed how the first seven
years of David’s reign was in Hebron which was another
name for Bethlehem and Zion, and that his succeeding 33
years of reign was in the fortress of Zion, also known as
the city of David.

This fortress of Zion was a hill adjacent to Hebron and was


previously inhabited by the descendants of Bethlehem of
the tribe of Judah before it was seized by the Jebusites
who were the inhabitants of Jerusalem even after the
advent of the Israelites. And this is how the fortress of Zion
became an extension of Jerusalem. In other words only
the fortress of Zion and not all of Zion eventually became
a part of Jerusalem and that not all of Jerusalem was Zion.
David successfully captured this fortress back and made it
his capital from where he ruled all of Israel.

Solomon and the rest of David’s descendants who


became king after David ruled Israel in that part of
Jerusalem that was originally inhabited by the Jebusites
and which was outside of Zion. Thus David was the only
king of Israel who actually ruled in Zion, and this is why he
is Jesus’ mighty scepter from Zion referred to in Psalm
110: 2.

And just as David fought many bloody wars in order to


pave the way for a peaceful reign for his son Solomon, so
will the reincarnated David, or Messiah ben Ephraim, fight
many bloody wars to pave the way for a peaceful reign for
his descendant Jesus, or Messiah ben David.

Psalm 110: 3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the
beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of
thy youth [Hebrew: yal-dooth'].

In verse 3 of Psalm 110 God is telling the Shiloh that he


will have the dew of his yal-dooth' or childhood on the day
of his power when he starts to rule in the midst of his
enemies. In other words the Shiloh will begin ruling as king
while he is still a child! Jacob hinted on this when he
uttered the following benediction and prophecy about the
Shiloh:

Genesis 49: 10-14 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver
from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering
of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the
choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood
of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

The age of the foal is less than one year old while the colt
is under four years old, and these animals are ridden by
children only and not by adults. Also, the reference on the
Shiloh’s teeth being white with milk means that he will still
be of weaning age when he collects the scepter from
Judah. Washing his garments and bathing in wine till his
eyes turn red may have to do with the property of wine
being an effective disinfectant useful for reducing the risk
of wound infection especially for vulnerable infants.

Psalm 110: 5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the
day of his wrath.

This verse is about the Shiloh. How do I know that?


Because the God of Israel is at his right hand. Remember
in verse 1, Jesus Christ whom David called his Lord is
sitting at the right hand of God, and conversely God must
have been sitting at Jesus’ left hand. And since God is at
the right hand of the Shiloh, this means also that the
Shiloh is sitting at the left hand of God! Now let us
compare 2 separate scriptures in Revelation side by side,
namely Revelation 3:21 and Revelation 6: 1-2.

Revelation 3: 21 To him that overcometh [Greek: nikōn] will I grant to sit


with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my
Father in his throne.

Revelation 6:1-2 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I
heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come
and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had
a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering
[Greek: nikōn], and to conquer.
Revelation 3:21 tells us that Christ offered to anyone who
overcomes (or conquers) a place to sit in his throne just as
he overcame and sat on his Father’s throne. Now if you
still remember, I already discussed Revelation 6: 1-2
earlier in this video when I mentioned that the rider on the
white horse is the Shiloh who is finally claiming the crown
from Judah through Jesus, “the Lion of the tribe of Judah”.

And since the Shiloh is described as a conqueror, he too


gets to sit on Christ’s throne.

So how do I imagine the throne of the Father with Jesus


(or Messiah ben David) sitting at his right hand and the
Shiloh (or Messiah ben Ephraim) sitting at his left? I
imagine a circular throne with the God of Israel, Messiah
ben David, and Messiah ben Ephraim forming an
equilateral triangle. Thus while the Shiloh sits at the left
hand of the Father, the Shiloh also gets to sit at the right
hand of Jesus at the same time.

Psalm 110: 4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a
priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”

In my previous video titled “Who is King Melchizedek? The


answer will surprise you!”, I discussed how Melchizedek
was the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ who was divine in
nature and only appeared human before Abraham. As a
divine resident of heaven, Melchizedek was performing
both kingly and priestly functions over there. However,
when Melchizedek incarnated as Jesus, son of Mary, he
emptied himself [Greek: ken-o'-o] of his divine nature and
of his positions as heavenly king and priest. See
Philippians 2: 5-7.

Philippians 2: 5-7 In your relationships with one another, have the same
mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider
equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he
made himself nothing [Greek: ken-o'-o] by taking the very nature of a
servant, being made in human likeness.

This is the reason why Psalm 110:4 was quoted by


Apostle Paul to apply to Jesus’ resuming his priestly
functions after his ascension to heaven in his previous
form as an immortal divine being.

While Paul’s interpretation of Psalm 110:4 was valid, an


honest interpretation of this verse based on context will
show that this verse actually applies to the Shiloh or
Messiah ben Ephraim and not to Messiah ben David.
Ezekiel 37:25 tells us that the reincarnated David, or
Messiah ben Ephraim, will be Israel’s prince forever, and
therefore the following scripture that talks about a prince
who performs priestly functions applies to David:

Ezekiel 45: 17 It will be the duty of the prince to provide the burnt offerings,
grain offerings and drink offerings at the festivals, the New Moons and the
Sabbaths—at all the appointed festivals of Israel. He will provide the sin
offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to make
atonement for the Israelites.
When Ezekiel 37:27 tells us that David will be Israel’s
prince forever, it is also telling us that after his
reincarnation in the flesh, David will be born again in spirit
form as an immortal divine being just like Melchizedek.
And this is why Psalm 110:4 is telling the reincarnated
David that he will be a priest forever in the order (or
manner) of Melchizedek. Remember, flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God, see 1 Corinthians 15:
49-50. And the only way for David, or the Shiloh, to sit at
the left hand of God in heaven is for him to share the
same divine nature as God and of Melchizedek.

But does the tribe of Joseph have a right to perform


priestly functions? The answer is yes! Genesis 41: 45 tells
us that Joseph married Asenath the daughter of Potiphera.
And I believe Joseph inherited his silver cup for divination
from Potiphera, who was the priest of On, see Genesis 44:
1-5. This silver cup was also the Holy Grail used by Jesus
to drink wine during his last supper with the apostles. And
I believe Potiphera was one of the seven human
incarnations of the divine Melchizedek on earth, along with
the prophet Enoch, Jethro priest of Midian and father-in-
law of Moses, Zoroaster who was the historical Immanuel,
and Jesus son of Mary.

Jesus once quoted Psalm 110: 1 when he debated the


Pharisees regarding the true nature of the Messiah:
Matthew 22: 41-46 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus
asked them, Saying,What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say
unto him, The Son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in
spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my
right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him
Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word,
neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

While Jesus was not denying that the Messiah is the son
of David, the answer he wanted to get from the Pharisees
was the same answer which he got from Peter, namely
that he was the Messiah, the Son of the living God, see
Matthew 16: 13-16.

So how does one know based on Psalm 110: 1 that the


Messiah is the son of the living (or eternal) God, and is
therefore an immortal divine being, and not just a human
descendant of David?

While Psalm 110:1 was interpreted in the New Testament


as the ascension to heaven of Jesus, son of Mary and
descendant of David, this verse is actually a vision of a
past event and not a future event in the point of view of
David. This past event however was a prophetic drama or
enactment of what is to come in the future, just like
Abraham’s intended sacrifice of his son Isaac was
foreshadowing God’s giving up of His only-begotten son
as a redemptive offering for the world.
The Messiah whom David saw and called “my lord” was
not his future descendant Jesus, son of Mary, but the
divine Melchizedek instead and son of the living God, who
resided on earth at the time of Abraham! This is why David
called him his lord, as David would not have called any
human descendant of his as his lord. Just as Jesus said,
“If David then calls him Lord, how is he his son?”.

When Melchizedek blessed Abraham and praised God for


delivering Abraham’s enemies into his hand, Melchizedek
was actually thanking Abraham for preventing the planned
invasion by Abraham’s enemies of his kingdom Salem,
which means “peace” in Hebrew. See Genesis 14: 18-20.

As king of peace, Melchizedek may have had a vow of


non-violence which prevented him from defending himself
and his kingdom from Abraham’s enemies; and for this
reason God asked Melchizedek to temporarily reside in
heaven and sit at His right hand until Abraham’s enemies
who were also his enemies were made a footstool for his
feet.

In my previous video titled “Zion & Salem was Bethlehem


& not Jerusalem & Christ was born in the tomb of the
Patriarchs at Machpelah! “ I discussed how Mamre, where
Abraham resided at the time of Melchizedek, was a hill
adjacent to Zion, and was therefore a part of Zion, which
was another name for Salem.

Therefore, Melchizedek’s “mighty scepter from Zion (or


Salem)” mentioned in Psalm 110: 2 and whom God asked
to rule in the midst of his enemies in place of Melchizedek
while Melchizedek was sitting in heaven at God’s right
hand, was none other than Abraham!

So how was David able to see this past event in a vision? I


believe David was having a recollection of his past
memory in his previous life as Abraham. And that Psalm
110 is about David’s past and future incarnations as
Abraham and Messiah ben Ephraim respectively.
