What if the blueprint for true Christian worship was revealed 4,000 years before the Reformation—in the mysterious figure of Melchizedek? In this revelatory video, we unpack how a single verse in Genesis 14 sets the stage for the Catholic understanding of the Eucharist, priesthood, and sacrificial worship—and why most Protestant communion practices unknowingly break this ancient, divinely ordained pattern.
📌 Discover why Jesus is called a priest “forever in the order of Melchizedek” (Psalm 110:4), not Aaron—and what that means for how we approach the Lord’s Supper today.
✨ What You’ll Learn in This Video:
📖 The biblical significance of Melchizedek’s offering of bread and wine—not animals, not symbols
🌟 How Jesus fulfils this priesthood at the Last Supper with the words, “This is my body”—not “this represents”
👑 Why the Mass is not a “resacrifice” but the eternal offering made present on earth
🙏 The critical link between valid priesthood, real sacrifice, and heavenly worship
