  "Blessed be the Lord God of Shem." Genesis 9:26 (The special seed from whom descended the chosen race.) Shem Japheth Ham Genesis 5:32 GOD SENDS CHILDREN TO ENLIGHTEN WORLD - Ancient Testaments by Wayne Brickey (Wayne E. Brickey, who lives in Gallatin, Mo., is a retired Church Educational System teacher and curriculum writer and has been a tour guide to Holy Land and Mormon history sites. (His novel "Before His Manger: The Long Wait for Christ's First Coming" can be found in serialized segments on MormonTimes.com.) From the beginning, fathers and mothers were to be the spiritual caregivers of their children. But with passing centuries, parents became less and less interested in such things. By the time of Noah, earthy homes had become toxic places for the offspring of God. Baptism and the living water of the gospel fell out of fashion. So the Lord sent the waters of the great flood. Family-based righteousness, patterned after our heavenly home, started afresh on earth. But history began to repeat itself. Though a few of Noah's descendants -- through his son Shem -- continued the heavenly pattern, most families in the growing population did not. Arphaxad, son of Shem, taught his children. Then came Salah and his son Eber. Four generations had passed since Noah. This covenant-keeping family was becoming a smaller and smaller minority. In the fifth generation came righteous Peleg, whose name means "division." In his day was a dividing of lands. But even greater were the divisions between cultures in matters of morality and religion. The scriptures focus on this lineage, for it is the ancestry that Israel would someday claim. And yet, as it descended further -- from Peleg to Reu, from Reu to Serug, and then to Nahor -- even this stronghold of faith dwindled in strength, just as the families around them had. The descendants of Noah were declining after the flood as the descendants of Adam had before the flood. The world was in grave trouble. Homes had become spiritual deserts. Terah, son of Nahor, grew up in such a desert, unschooled in the things of God. In fact, according to Jewish tradition, Terah became a merchant of pagan idols. So we might expect Terah's son, in turn,to lack understanding of the prophets who had founded this lineage. By all odds, Terah's son would never taste the faith of "the fathers." Was there to be a flood every so often, starting mankind over again and again? No, God had prepared another way. --First, there was a spring of truth, as it were, hidden somewhere in the City of Ur where Terah the idol merchant lived. That spring was a written record, the writings of prophets, distant ancestors who had left behind a knowledge of the things of God. --Second, there would be a thirst for that water, in the hearts of not one but two souls brave enough to kneel and drink. These great-great-great grandchildren of the ancients--- Abram, son of Terah, and a girl named Sarai--- though raised in a dark and faithless world, were attracted to the holy writings, and to each other. --Third, God would in due time send out the children of that couple to bless other people's children. Truth would be embedded in their culture. They would be endowed with power. Wherever parental batteries weakened and died in the world, cousins from this redemptive family would provide backup. Though nations on either side of the veil might resemble each other in no other way, they will have this in common: The children of that couple will eventually enter their borders and approach their every doorway. They will offer to sit with every soul, no matter how disoriented, disbelieving and headstrong that soul may be, and offer the living waters. Spencer W. Kimball said, "When a wrong wants righting, or a truth wants preaching, ... God sends a baby into the world to do it." God did that 4,000 years ago in the City of Ur. On a grand scale, he is doing so today.

Shem? Who is Melchizedek? Melchizedek is disclosed in only three books of the bible: #1 Genesis 14:18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine: he was the priest of God Most High. #2 Psalm 110:4 The LORD has sworn And will not relent, "You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." #3 Hebrews 5:6 As He also says in another place: "You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek: Hebrews 6:20 where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever to the order of Melchizedek." Hebrews 7:1,9-11,15,17,21 # 1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, # 9 Even, Levi who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak, #10 for he was still in the loins of his father(Jacob) when Melchizedek met him. #11 Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people receive the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not according to the order of Aaron? #15 And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest #17 For He testifies: "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek." #21 (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him: "The LORD has sworn and will not relent, 'You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek' "), Let's get the question answered. . . * Melchizedek is not in the order of Levi, in fact, Levi pays tithes to Melchizedek by the act of Abraham paying tithes to Melchizedek. (This is found in Hebrews 7:9) * Melchizedek is a priest who proceeds the entire Levi line. * Melchizedek, who is the King of Salem, (meaning the king of peace), of whom Abraham pays tithes to, has no known parents to the people of that time. A mystery in the bible!? Who is Melchizedek? SHEM! WHERE WE GET THE ANSWER: Genesis 11:10-26 #10 This is the genealogy of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood. #11 After he begot Arphaxad, Shem lived five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. #12 Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Salah. #13 After he begot Salah, Arphaxad lived four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters. #14 Salah lived thirty years, and begot Eber. #15 After he begot Eber, Salah lived four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters. #16 Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg. #17 After he begot Peleg, Eber lived four hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters. #18 Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu. #19 After he begot Reu, Peleg lived two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters. #20 Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Serug. #21 After he begot Serug, Reu lived two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters. #22 Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor. #23 After he begot Nahor, Serug lived one hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters. #24 Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and begot Terah. #25 After he begot Terah, Nahor lived one hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters. 26 Now Terah, lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Now, we take this info and break it down. . . Flood + 2 = Shem + 100 Shem is 100 yrs old, two years after the Flood: Flood + 2 = Death of Shem = 602 Shem dies 500 years later at the age of 602.
