The Order of Melchizedek
-
93,
I'm doing a little research on Melchizedek and I would appreciate some input. It seems that Melchizedek "The King of Righteousness" was probably a Secret Chief, a para-human entity. There is also the connection with Jerusalem, Jesus, Abraham and so forth.
I guess my question is this: Is he the source of the One and True Order that has existed on this planet since humans walk the Earth?

"MLKI shares the same root as MLAK which roughly translates to 'My Angel' or 'My Messenger'"
MLK, melekh, "king," comes from the identically spelled trilteral root MLK, pronounced malakh, and meaning, "to reign." In contrast, MLAK, mal'akh, meaning "messenger" or "angel" ("angel" is just the Greek word for "messenger"), comes from the root LAK, "to depute, a minister or servant, etc.," - LAK is actualy an Arabic root unused as a stand-alone in Hebrew. (The word MLAK is M-LAK, "of or from deputation," more or less.)
I know the sound similarity is attractive as a bassis of comparison, and I'm not saying relationships shouldn't be postualted - I'm only addressing your statement that they come from the same root.

Thanks for the clarification Jim...etymology is not exactly my forte.

Well, you have to have the right references

I presume you mean books ... or perhaps you have a goetic servitor that tells you these things?
Actually, Strong's Bible Concordance, available at numerous addresses on the internet, is a great reference.

This is a bit off subject, but your mention of Strong's Concordance has me thinking. To your knowledge, has anyone ever put together a Class A Concordance? Cross-referencing the Holy Books is a task I have been at for some time now - & a concordance would save a great deal of my time...if not, maybe that's what I should be doing!

"Either is acceptable
But yes, I meant books. Strong's is good as far as it goes, but isn't so hot for Heew etymology.

Is there a program that will search multiple libri for a single reference?

I don't know of any - except that I have most of them in Microsoft Word files on my computer and can just use that program's Find feature.

I think you might find a lot of reference to this in Rituals of freemasonry.
( Especially the York Rite...from the roots, right to the answer to your question).This is from a speculative point of view, and is based on old testament allegory/ symbolism, as well as the "Sumerian" roots:-)
I do like Jim's qabalistic approach as well.

In my far-off youth I compiled a concordance of CCXX and mailed a copy to some Thelemites I was corresponding with at the time. (The only ones I had managed to find, and the only ones I encountered for decades -- they were in Florida and I was in Kentucky). They said they had no idea what it might be used for.
Sadly, I no longer have it. Even more sadly, I no longer have the very fine edition of CCXX that I used. I have no idea what happened to either of them. -
