The Book of Melchizedek

The following is a divinely inspired translation of the brass plates by David that began March 8, 2018. Being awoken around 2 am, he was given the first few chapters. Working from there, as he found time, he was able to translate the first 4 chapters that month. There is much more to come. This is a part of the “coat of many colors” Jacob gave his son Joseph. It is a part of the stick of Ephraim that is to be put with the stick of Judah. This is why it was written on brass in Egyptian, the language of Joseph of Egypt, because it was not for all of the tribes. The translation of this book will be shared a little at a time as the work progresses.

The following are David’s comments on the translation process:

I’d like to explain how the translation process works. I first put myself into a meditative state using Kabbalistic techniques. From there I’m taken to a cave, if you will, lit by fire light. On a table rests the brass plates. They are a dark, brass color with the Egyptian writings and symbols shining brightly as if they were freshly carved or on fire. These become Hebrew words with no vowels as light above them. Then above this are English words, or words written in English letters. I then compare the three layers of writing to translate the documents. I have to work it out in my mind, feel what’s right. When it’s correct I feel the burning in my bosom, and with peace in my heart I move on. When I get stuck, I’ll put the Hebrew or the English version of the Hebrew into the internet to get different meanings to help with the translation. Other times I’ll feel inspired to read passages from certain books that help clarify a meaning so I can translate properly.

The Book of Melchizedek

The secret knowledge given first from the temple of YHVH to Melchizedek—the king of peace, king of heaven upon the earth, the great High Priest after the order of the Son of God; then from Melchizedek to Abraham. Amen.

Chapter 1

An introduction and brief history of Melchizedek

1. Melchizedek was a man of faith who wrought righteousness;
2. And when a child, he feared Elohim, and stopped the mouths of lions, and quenched the violence of fire.
3. And thus, having been approved of YHVH, he was ordained a High Priest after the order of the covenant which God made with Enoch,
4. It being after the order of the Son of God, which order came not by man, nor the will of man, neither by father nor mother, neither by beginning of days nor end of years, but of Elohim.
5. And it was delivered unto men by the calling of the voice of Ruach Elohim, according to His own will, unto as many as believed on Hashem^a;
6. For YHVH, having sworn unto Enoch and unto his seed with an oath by Himself that everyone being ordained after this order and calling should have power, by faith, to break mountains,
7. To divide the seas, to dry up waters, to turn them out of their course,
8. To put at defiance the armies of nations, to divide the earth, to break every band,
9. To stand in the presence of YHVH, to do all things according to His will, according to His command, and to subdue principalities and powers;
10. And this by the will of the Son of God which was from before the foundation of the world.
11. And men having this faith, coming up unto this order of God, were translated and taken up into heaven.
12. And now, Melchizedek was a High Priest of this order; therefore, he obtained peace in Salem and was called the king of peace.
13. And his people wrought righteousness, and obtained heaven, and sought for the city of Enoch which Elohim had before taken, separating it from the earth, having reserved it unto the latter days, or the end of the world,
14. And God hath said, and sworn with an oath, that the heavens and the earth should come together and the sons of God should be tried so as by fire.
15. And this Melchizedek, having thus established righteousness, was called the king of heaven by his people, or, in other words, the king of peace;
16. Him who lifted up his voice, and blessed Abram, being the high priest and the keeper of the storehouse of God;
17. Him whom God had appointed to receive tithes for the poor.
18. Wherefore, even Abram, who was born again unto the Lord God as Abraham, the father of all of God’s covenant peoples, paid unto him tithes of all that he had, of all the riches which he possessed, which God had given him more than that which he had need.
19. And because of his humility, God blessed Abram and gave unto him riches, and honor, and lands for an everlasting possession, according to the covenant which he had made and according to the blessing wherewith Melchizedek had blessed him.
20. And Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine; and he broke bread and blessed it; and he blessed the wine, he being the great High Priest of the most high God.
21. And he gave to Abram, after he blessed him, saying: Blessed Abram, thou art a man of the most high of Elohim, possessor of heaven and of earth;
22. And blessed is the name of the most high Elohim, which hath delivered thine enemies into thine hand.
23. And Melchizedek, the king of Salem, lifted up his voice and blessed Abram with secret wisdoms, and taught him to guard them until they come forth unto the world, by the will of God, at the last days.

Chapter 2

Melchizedek tells Abraham of his past and his love of the City of Enoch.

1. And he said unto Abram: I, Melchizedek, the king of Salem, king of peace, descendant of Shem, known by my people as the king of heaven upon the Earth, High Priest of the Lord God:
2. I leave with you, Abram, God’s Word to you, to teach from generation to generation;
3. I who desire to be taken up into the city of Enoch, along with my people, the people of Salem—here and now I set down for the guidance and teaching for those that are to come after.
4. And I speak with certainty and most truly these things that have been passed down from the time of Adam until now by my fathers.
5. We that are below who shall join with those above, and those with thee shall join together again so that they produce a single priesthood, a most wonderful blessing from God unto mankind.
6. In the great city of Enoch, taken unto Elohim, these truths were taught openly, and without fear:
7. Now, as the men of this world die and await judgment, the mighty ones of the city of Enoch, which is Zion, do live and die not;
8. But behold, they were taken up from the earth to renew their lives eternal in the kingdom Celestial where the Tree of Life grows eternally upward.
9. And as the whole universe was brought forth from one by the Word of God, who is YHWH, who is Chesed (mercy), so also all things are regenerated eternally from the Lord, according to the mercies of God.
10. And this city has the God of knowledge for a Father, and the wisdom of the Tree of Life for a mother:
11. And the city was carried by the air, as if in a womb, after it was finished being nursed by the earth,
12. And this because YHVH is the cause of all perfection, of all things throughout the universe.
13. And it shall come to pass that those that dwell in this city shall attain the highest perfection of powers Celestial when, in the end times, it shall be returned back unto the earth.
14. And even I did at the first walk in the dark, not knowing the way that led into light, looking for the path to this city that dwells with God;
15. But the Lord blessed me, and I have ascended from the darkness by the power of the Spirit of God into the light;
16. And thus my strength and the power of the priesthood, or in other words by the power of God, has been awakened and renewed.
17. Now for a time, I reign among men in the city of Salem and the lands around bout;
18. And is shall soon come to pass that we too shall leave, by the Grace and power of YHVH who is our God, and ye shall know me no more.
19. But in the last days it shall come to pass that I and my people shall return again with the Messiah, full in the Priesthood of the Son of God, requiring for YHVH an account of those whom were left behind.
20. And before that day shall I come to stir the healing waters and distribute here upon the earth once again the keys of the Priesthood to organize mankind in the name of the Lord once again,
21. And then shall men be baptized water and fire, that God shall fulfill through the Messiah^a Jesus Christ^b the destiny of Adam, of mankind—the very hope and endowment of all.
22. And I shall descend with the Son of Man in that day from the City of Enoch:
23. What went from the earth into the sky, shall descend again to the earth, and recognize that the things above and of things below are one, for they are YHVH’s;
24. Therefore it is He that possess the glory of God Celestial who’s keys we shall carry, and beyond this no man shall climb any further.
25. The priesthood and authority of Kedem Qadam Kadmon Himself presently comes forth stronger by reasons of this fortitude;
26. The Holy Priesthood after the Order of the Son of Man subdues all earthly and heavenly bodies surely,
27. Whether before or beyond the veil, the Son of Man shall penetrate them, and upon Elohim shall the glory be given.
28. Then beware, O men of the Earth: If ye shall betray these teachings for priestcraft, YHVH, Elohim, and the Sons of the Morning shall cast ye down from your high estate, into the darkness from whence ye came.
29. Betray not these secrets to the men and women of this world, lest my curse, which is the curse of God, even a great curse, shall fall upon thee.
30. Remember and heed my words, for surely will I return again at the last days and require of thee that which ye have been entrusted to guard.
31. And, even in the meridian of time shall I be reborn, at that time when the Son of Man shall open the graves, and from beyond death will I return;
32. When the Messiah shall come, and shall be given unto death by his friends and shall rise from death, for YHVH is God^c, creator of all things, and shall subdue even life and death;
33. At that time shall I too return, and again at the last day, and at other times as sent by the Lord, to bring to the earth the keys of each generation, from generation to generation;
34. So shall I do, rewarding as ye have requited, by fulfilling the commandments of God and his Priesthood,
35. Or punishing those that sell what is precious unto the Lord to unworthy men and women with thy whorings and priestcrafts.
36. Separate shall I the earth from the fire, yea as it ascends from earth to heaven;
37. And again it descends to earth and receives the force of things for good and for evil, depending on the heart of man.
38. By this means of separation ye shall have the glory of the whole world, and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you;
39. But so too shall the Wisdom of God be kept hidden from thee, if thou give in to the darkness of mankind.

Notes:

a. Literally “anointed one” in the Hebrew or in Egyptian, ” one to anoint.” This is saying in one language that Jesus is anointed, while in another that he will anoint. But, both words mean the same: messiah.
b. This name, Jesus Christ, was not on the brass plates, added by inspiration.
c. Hebrew “El,” Egyptian “Ka”

Chapter 3

The teachings of Enoch.

1. Great were the people of the YHVH Shalom in the city of Enoch, listening as they did to the teachings passed down from the ancient of days:
2. Great knowledge and great wisdom had they, beyond the corruption of the world around them;
3. Knowing the wisdom of old, seeking from within the heart of Elohim YHVY, the Eternal God, knowledge that belonged to mankind’s youth coming out from the garden.
4. Wise were they with Elohim’s wisdom, yea they were wise with the wisdom of the gods^a, these Sons of the morning and Daughters of light; yea, the very angels didst dwell among them within their city;
5. Strong were they with the power of Priesthood; drawn from the eternal fire that is the Spirit of God—not the fires of this world which only cast shadows among the darkness.
6. And of all these, greatest among the children of mankind was their High Priest, Enoch and his wife, the High Priestess^b:
7. Keepers of the great temple, prophets and seers, teachers of the children of Light who dwelt within the city, driving out the priestcraft of mankind which inhabited the lands around them:
8. Mouthpiece of the Lord was Enoch; he who walked and talked with God, spake he to the kings of men with the voice that must be obeyed.
9. From this wisdom passed down from my fathers, grew I from a child into manhood, being taught by my fathers the elder mysteries, until in time there grew within me the tree of knowledge and the fire of wisdom, until it burst into a consuming flame.
10. And I desired nothing, neither food nor sleep: naught but the attainment of wisdom.
11. One great day the command came from the that I be brought before Kohen Gadol, the High Priest of YHWH^c in the court of my fathers.
12. Few there were at that time among the children of men who had looked upon that mighty face and lived;
13. For some that see are found wanting, and in them the fire brings madness, heresy, or death.
14. Yet I wast chosen from the sons of men, taught the ways of YHVH by Kohen Gadol so that the purpose of Hashem might be fulfilled by the passing of wisdom and knowledge; yea and of knowledge and understanding.
15. For not as the teachings and wisdom of mankind are the teachings of the Sons of the Morning:
16. Yet I wast chosen from the sons of men, taught the ways of YHVH by Kohen Gadol so that the purpose of Hashem might be fulfilled by the passing of wisdom and knowledge; yea and of knowledge and understanding.
17. Many years did I dwelt in the Temple, learning ever and yet ever more wisdom, until I too was filled with the light emitted from the great fire.
18. And he taught me the path to Elohim, the path of the Sons of the Morning, yea even the Sons of Light, even they that cried out with joy at the creation.
19. These secrets share I with you, Abram; for the lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of understanding;
20. For where the teacher walks in the paths of YHWH, the ears of those ready for his teaching are open;
21. Likewise, when the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh a teacher to fill them with wisdom

Notes:

a. “Wise were they with Elohim’s wisdom, yea they were wise with the wisdom of the gods” these are two equally valid translations of the same texts. The translation is duplicated because the intent is lost when translating to English.
b. “and his wife, the High Priestess” not on the brass plates, added by inspiration.
c. “Kohen Gadol, the High Priest of YHWH” literally: “the High Priest, the High Priest of YHVH”

Chapter 4

The teachings of the temple.

1. In this manner the world was created:
2. First was everything, and everything always was; and thus all is and ever was En Sof, or everlasting:
3. And this was Alohykm^a  and Ieshurun^b, and the beasts, and the plants, and the rocks, and the wind.
4. Yea, it was all; yet it was as nothing, for it was void; and darkness was, as it were, upon the face of the deep where dwelt as it were a great pool of living water:
5. And the first stage of man, the eternal man adam kadmon^c that was never born and shall never die, was brooding upon the face of the waters.
6. And Elohim moved upon the face of the waters, and drew them up, the intelligences, and they are gods^d, the very sons and daughters of Elohim; even the Sons of the Morning and the Daughters of Light.
7. From the void sprang everything; and there was never a time when there was truly nothing, forever and eternal are we, and ever and eternal is YHVH.
8. And these gathered and organized, and light shined upon the face of the darkness, but darkness knew not the light.
9. Thus are the five stages of man: Intelligence, Spirit, Flesh, Soul, and Resurrected Being; the final being all stages in one, a Morning Star—forever complete.
10. Thus are the incarnations of man, and the arrangements to follow this road are hidden from the eyes that cannot see.
11. For this reason we are calling Elohim the one God: one in essence, yet many in aspect; or many in being, yet one in priesthood;
12. The highest being two: both male and female^e, thus being four, and again seen as five as their unity is one, the fifth being Keter^f.
13. In this trinity is hidden the knowledge and wisdom of the whole world,
14. And through the mercy and justice of Alohykm shall we gain understanding, and by understanding glimpse of the Crown of Elohim^g.
15. The children of god descend to the earth to become sons of men; to die as princes, and ascend from the earth to the heaven, and become rulers over that which is above and that which is below.
16. Deep I bowed in homage before YHWH receiving as my gift, the Key of Life, which is knowledge given with wisdom, even the very Tree of Life.
17. A great sin it is to eat from the tree unbeckoned, yet beckoned was I;
18. Thus to the stars and the City of Enoch shall I too one day journey, then space and time^h shall be as naught;
19. For after drinking deep of the cup of wisdom, I have looked into the hearts of men, and there I found greater mysteries; as for only by losing myself in the service of othersⁱ was my joy made full.
20. And only in the truth of YHWH can our souls be filled, and the flame within lit eternally, as mankind too is filled with the Spirit of God.
21. And, through the ages has Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God lived and been passed down by my fathers, and now from my fathers unto you, Abram.
22. And I, seeing those around me taste of the cup of death and return again unto the light of life, even the bosom of God, know that this life is but a fleeting memory.
23. And thus, gradually I learned from the wisdom of my fathers, knowledge passed down from the City of Enoch;
24. This wisdom filled me with waves of consciousness that had been one with me in a prior incarnation, only to be replaced by spawn of a lower star here upon the earth

Notes:

a. Means “gods of us or our gods” with male singular but female plural, just like Elohim
b. Those who stand upright of the path to God, the righteous ones.
c. “The eternal man” and “Adam Kadmon” these are two equally valid translations of the same text. The translation is duplicated because the intent is lost when translating to English.
d. Hebrew: “elohim”
e. “the Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine”
f. Keter: Hebrew “the crown,” Egyptian “the All”
g. “Elohim Keter”
h. Literally “place and eternal” or “place and eternity”
i. Literally “servant I of men”
