The Coming of
Melchizedek
11Q13
Col.2
(...) And concerning what Scripture says, "In this year of Jubilee you shall
return,
everyone f you, to your property" (Lev.
25;13) And what is
also written;
"And this is the manner
of the remission; every creditor shall remit the claim
that is held against a neighbor, not exacting it of a neighbor who is
a member
of the community, because God`s remission has been
proclaimed"
(Deut.15;2)
the interpretation is that it applies to the Last Days and concerns
the captives, just
as Isaiah said: "To
proclaim the Jubilee to the captives" (Isa. 61;1) (...)
just as (...) and from the inheritance of Melchizedek, for (...
Melchizedek),
who will return them to what is rightfully theirs. He will proclaim
to them
the Jubilee, thereby releasing them from the debt of all their
sins.
He shall proclaim this decree in the first week of the jubilee
period
that follows nine jubilee periods. Then the "Day of Atonement" shall
follow after the tenth jubilee period, when he shall atone for all
the Sons
of Light, and the people who are predestined to Melchizedek.
(...) upon them (...) For this is the time decreed for the
"Year of Melchizedek`s
favour", and by his
might he will judge God`s
holy ones and so establish a righteous kingdom, as it is written
about
him in the Songs of David ; "A godlike being has taken his place in
the council of God; in the midst of divine beings he holds
judgement"
(ps.
82;1). Scripture also
says about him ; "Over
it take your seat
in the highest heaven; A divine being will judge the
peoples"
(Ps.
7;7-8)
Concerning what scripture says ; " How long will you judge unjustly
, and show partiality with the wicked? Selah" (Ps. 82;2)
,the interpretation applies to Belial and the spirits predestined
to him,
because all of them have rebelled, turning from God`s precepts
and
so becoming utterly wicked. Therefore Melchizedek will thoroughly
prosecute the vengenance required by God`s statutes. Also, he will
deliver
all the captives from the power of Belial, and from the power of
all
the spirits destined to him. Allied with him will be all the
"righteous divine
beings"(Isa. 61;3). (The ...) is that whi(ch ...all)
the divine beings.
The visitation is the Day of Salvation that He has decreed through
Isaiah
the prophet concerning all the captives, inasmuch as Scripture
says,
"How beautiful upon the
mountains are the feet of the messenger
who announces peace, who brings good news, who announces
salvation,
who says to Zion "Your divine being reigns"." (Isa. 52;7)
This scriptures interpretation : "the mountains" are the prophets,
they who were sent to proclaim God`s truth and to prophesy to all
Israel.
"The
messengers" is the
Anointed of the spirit, of whom Daniel spoke;
"After the sixty-two
weeks, an Anointed shall be cut off" (Dan. 9;26)
The "messenger who
brings good news, who announces Salvation"
is the one of whom it is written; "to proclaim the year of the LORD`s favour
, the day of the vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn"
(Isa. 61;2)
This scripture`s interpretation: he is to instruct them about all the
periods
of history for eternity (... and in the statutes) of the truth.
(...)
(.... dominion) that passes from Belial and returns to the Sons of
Light (....)
(...) by the judgment of God, just as t is written concerning
him;
"who says to Zion "Your
divine being reigns" (Isa.
52;7)
"Zion" is the congregation of all the sons of
righteousness, who uphold
the covenant and turn from walking in the way of the people.
"Your divine being"
is Melchizedek,
who will deliver them from the
power of Belial. Concerning what scripture says, "Then you shall
have the trumpet sounded loud; in the seventh month . . . " (Lev.
25;9)
