📜 THE TRUE STORY OF MALKI-TZEDEK — YHWH’S PRIEST BEFORE LEVI

After returning from battle, Abram came back from rescuing Lot. He had just struck down the kings of the north.

Two men came out to meet him.

One was the king of Sodom.
The other was Malki-Tzedek — king of Shalem.
He was no ordinary king.

Malki-Tzedek brought bread and wine — not for ritual, but for peace.
A gift of hospitality.
A sign of covenant.
A message of respect from one servant of Yhwh to another.

Scripture says he was priest to El Elyon — the Most High.

No temple. No tribe. No genealogy.
No Moses. No Levi.
Just a righteous king — appointed by Yhwh — walking in truth before the law ever came.

He blessed Abram, saying:

“Blessed be Abram by El Elyon, Creator of heaven and earth.
And blessed be El Elyon, who delivered your enemies into your hand.”

Abram responded with honor — giving him a tenth of everything.
Not because he had to.
Not because of law.
But because he recognized a man of Yhwh.

That’s it.

No mystery.
No Greek invention.
No Christian twisting.

Just truth — written in the Torah, before Levi, before the lies.
