Episode 185: Unlocking the Melchizedekian Priesthood - Insights from the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Book of Hebrews

Looking at the background of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and the
Essenes, we explore WHY Jesus warned His followers to BEWARE of
the "teaching" of the Pharisees and Sadducees (Matt. 16:6). What
"teaching" was He warning them about? What did the Essenes
believe and what did/do the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) reveal about
the coming Messiah? We look at a couple of fragments from the
DSS, in particular, the Melchizedek Document that reveal what
they believed the Messiah was coming to do and WHO the Messiah
would be. We can then better understand the purpose of the Book
of Hebrews. This is part 1 in a series.
