Then Melchizedek Brought Out Bread & WIne

The Torah/Law was GIVEN to us by Moses but Grace & Truth CAME to us in person from Melchizedek/Yehoshua = Jesus Christ! John 1:17 (See Hebrews 5:6-10, 6:20, 7:1-17, Psalm 110:4)

These are the kings in Abram's territory who battled.

Conquered by Abram and the 318
4 Evil Allied Kings (Worldliness, Idol Worship, Merciless Deception & Fear)
King 1) Unity king of worldliness
King 2) False worshiper king of eastern heap
King 3) Merciless king of deception
King 4) Fearful king of nations
(These 4 conquered the following 5 before Abram conquered them)

Redeemed by Abram and the 318
5 Rebel Allied Kings (Burning Sin, Violence, Adamic Nature, Shame & Gluttony)
King 5) Burned up king of evil gift
King 6) Perfumed king of violent tyranny
King 7) Disloyal king of Adamic nature
King 8) Conspicuous shame ruling beauty
King 9) Gluttony ruling growing insignificance

12 = authority (two - repeat)
13 = judgment (three - triad)
14 = earth (four - square, four sided)
318 = The Cross of JESUS

ABRAM: Exalted Father (whose faith counted him to be righteous)

Abram's 318 Private Army including Allies: 318 = The Cross of JESUS (Guaranteed Victory!)
Our Chief Allies: The Body of JESUS and The Blood of JESUS gives us the awareness that in Him we see all enemies must lay down their weapons and surrender to Him. JESUS WINS every time.
The names of Abram's Allies:
MAMRE: Wing-Lifted (Angel) The Bread lifts us into His Presence
ESHKOL: Grape Cluster The Wine is poured down into us that we might hear His Voice.
ANER: Young Servant: Communion is served to us, given to us by JESUS - we don't "take" communion we "RECEIVE COMMUNION." (John 13)

The 318 WON the final battle and control of the nine kings and kingdoms because God was with them by "the Cross of Jesus" ("as often as we do this we do show the Lord's death til He comes") 

Then Melchizzadek, King of Salem brought Abram bread and wine (Communion). 

(With the above notes in mind - now read the account)

1 At the time when Amraphel (unifyer) was king of Shinar (babylonian/worldly) , Arioch (looks to moon god for mercy) king of Ellasar (eastern heap) , Kedorlaomer (servant of no mercy) king of Elam (hidden, conceal)  and Tidal (fearful) king of Goyim (nations), 2 these kings went to war against Bera (son of evil gift)  king of Sodom (scorched, burned), Birsha (sweet odour) king of Gomorrah (tyrannically violent), Shinab (change chief, father) king of Admah (adamic), Shemeber (conspicuous, shame name) king of Zeboyim (beauty, gazelle), and the king of Bela (devour food/glutton) (that is, Zoar: to become insignificant)). 3 All these latter kings joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (battleground)  (that is, the Dead Sea Valley: noisy, roar, of the sea). 4 For twelve years (authority/governance) they had been subject to Kedorlaomer (merciless concealer - deceiver), but in the thirteenth year (judgment) they rebelled.

5 In the fourteenth (4 sided, square) year, Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaites (fail to heal) in Ashteroth-Karnaim (female idol with 2 horns), the Zuzites (wild beast) in Ham (Hot: youngest son of Noah - cursed by Noah, grandfather of wicked king Nimrod of Babylonia), the Emites (terror/terrorists) in Shaveh Kiriathaim (equalize a city)  6 and the Horites (trogladite, cave dweller) in the hill country of Seir (dishevled, rough), as far as El Paran (glorified oak - false strength) near the desert. 7 Then they turned back and went to En Mishpat (fountain, place of judgment) (that is, Kadesh: sacred place in the desert), and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites (severe work/works), as well as the Amorites (boast verbally) who were living in Hazezon-Tamar (pierced tree).

8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboyim and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) marched out and drew up their battle lines in the Valley of Siddim (wild soil, field) 9 against Kedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goyim, Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five. 10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and when the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some of the men fell into them and the rest fled to the hills.11 The four kings seized all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food; then they went away. 12 They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lot (covering as a veil) and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom.

13 A man who had escaped came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the great trees of Mamre (wing-lifted) the Amorite (boast, tell), a brother of Eshkol (Cluster of grapes) and Aner (young servant), all of whom were allied with Abram (exalted father). 14 When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he called out the 318 (The Cross of Jesus, click this link) trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as Dan (judge). 15 During the night Abram divided his men to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah (hiding place of guilt), north of Damascus (blood-filled, similitude of burning). 16 He recovered all the goods and brought back his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other people.

17 After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).

18 Then Melchizedek (king/ruler of righteousness) king of Salem (whole, complete, peaceful, safe, friendly - Salem became Jerusalem) brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High (El Elyone: Almighty One, Ascend, cause to rise up), 19 and he blessed Abram, saying:

“Blessed be Abram by God Most High (El Elyone), Creator (tall, buyer, purchaser, procurer, redeemer) of heaven and earth. 20 And praise be to God Most High (El Elyone), who delivered your enemies into your hand.”

Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
[Then Abram instantly, without hesitation, spontaneously gave him a tenth (literally 'tithe') of everything (all the spoils of war). Act of faith not law.]

21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people and keep the goods for yourself.”

22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “With raised hand I have sworn an oath to the Lord, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, 23 that I will accept nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the strap of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, ‘I made Abram rich.’ 24 I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share that belongs to the men who went with me—to Aner, Eshkol and Mamre. Let them have their share.”

He tithed to Melchizedek and gave reward to his allies and gave the rest back because he only wanted the reputation of wealth to be credited to God's increase, not on the backs of others.

Communion reveals the CommunionFire. In this case The face of Jesus Christ was in the face of Melchizedek! This visit establishes Communion as The Meeting place With Jesus "His Table, His Flesh, His Blood" is established in the eyes of Abram before the Law, Prophets, Psalms and New Testament peoples. From here we should look for every rivulet of Communion with Jesus evidenced throughout all of Scripture. More important we should have Communion and encounter the risen Lord Jesus where He will feed us on the bread of Life of His actual presence and give us drink to refresh our body, soul and spirit. 

Without RevivalFire from CommunionFire everyday you make yourself the target of SinFire - revived by the Law of sin and death. Both are constant and you have the choice to live by the faith of the Son of God who died and gave Himself for you that you might live as the righteousness of god in Christ or you will be ignited by the fires of lust, sin and death. You will have revival one way or other - which you choose depends on whether or not you come to the Table of the Lord to feed upon His presence where: "The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead quickens your mortal body!" 

RevivalFire is every day, eternal, durable, constant and fabulous when we feed on the power of the presence of Jesus - THE CommunionFire! (Only found at His Table). Visible in Scripture, Felt in Worship, Mission and Prayer but Truth means where you are in His reality - His presence - His glory - by His Body and Blood - Christ in you the hope of glory!
