Hebrews 7

In the book Thy Kingdom Comes we find on page 15
: "The generations of Abraham were Shem, begat Arphaxad, Shelah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, Abram who became Abraham. Amongst all the descendants of Shem, there were many that disagreed and even fought over who should be the rightful heir to the blessings of Shem. Shem was rightful king as elder of the family of man and, according to Bible chronologists, Shem was still around when Abraham expatriated from his father and the matrix of the City-State. Since Noah and his wife had died, Shem was a righteous king of peace. He was without Father and Mother and was possessor of all his rights. Shem was sui juris according to the family laws that preceded the codification by kings. Although he had produced many heirs, no one had been chosen. There was no one worthy of the honor and blessing of that royal office of the righteous King of Peace."

Melchizedek priest and king

1 ¶ For this Melchisedec, king^[1] of Salem, priest^[1] of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

King of Peace

2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

3 Without father, without mother, without descent^[2], having neither beginning^[3] of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

A levite tithe

4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

Abraham had the promise

6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

8 And here men that die^[4] receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

Perfection

11 ¶ If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

12 For the priesthood being changed,^[5] there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

Out of Juda

14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

Another priest

15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:

21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

A surety

22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:

24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.^[6]

25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.^[7]

26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

Their own sins

27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

↑ ==The I AM == It is said that we know we exist because we think but what is the source of our thinking? What guides or leads or conducts the pattern and path of our thoughts? Is it really the Empirical knowledge we believe we accumulate through our sense as we examine or perceive the world or is there a connection or relationship to that which has created the universe in which the world we think we have perceived resides within? What do we fail to perceive? What is the importance of each thing we perceive? We can only know finite amount about the existence of the perceivable world around us. We may have a sense of our existence but can we KNOW the truth of it? Unless we can KNOW ALL we really know nothing. This is why we should begin with Know thy self.
I AM the Mover

Is there an "Unmoved Mover" as the Greeks concluded that has existed before there were things or "Big Bangs"?
Did He move upon the waters of creation giving pattern to the formation of those things we imagine we observe and perceive as the universe?
Is there a way to connect to or tap into the Wisdom or the knowing of that "Unmoved Mover" or "Divine Designer"?
Is there a meaning found in that ancient allegory of the two trees where that naked couple fled the light placed in the Tree of life. Fleeing the light has been a theme of the story repeated by sages and prophets.
Avoiding the truth about ourselves and denying the reality of our errors and failures has often made the darkness of the world more appealing than the truth.
Drugs, alcohol, and addictions that cloud the mind or the acceptance or denial of inconvenient facts as if they were true preferring a bias perception to the objective truth have become all to popular throughout the history of mankind.

The Existence of Truth

Truth die exist. It is not subjective. It is what is.
Is it that light of the I AM that reveals the truths of the I am in our own hearts and minds if we have the humility to see our own nakedness and inability to come to know the whole truth?
Do the messages and moral guidelines of the prophets contain the secrets that may draw individuals to that connection to the source of all Wisdom?

Reference I am

Exodus 3:14 "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. ";

John 8:24 “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” (present tense)

John 8:28 “‭Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.” (future tense)

John 8:58 “‭Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” (past tense)

Jesus honoured, which is to magnify the Creator, rather than himself.

John 8:54 "Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:"

The Creator is the Father who gives life. To take life is contrary to the Logos of the I am The I am is the preexisting breath of the Creator of the Divine Will. Jesus was one with the logos of the "I am" of God made flesh.
The people did not know the God that gave them life because the did not want to see themself in the light of His truth. Jesus brought the light and those that hated the light hated Him.

John 8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

Many may think they are born again but they do not love the light. They say Lord, Lord but are under a strong delusion and invent the doctrines of men so they may remain in darkness and in denial about the true Logos of God.

John 9:9;“‭Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.”

John 10:9 “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”

John 13:19 “Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.”

John 14 “‭3 ... where I am, there ye may be also. ‭4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. ‭5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? ‭6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way(Egō eimi hē hodos), the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me(emou)... ‭9 ... Shew us the Father? ‭10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? ... but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. ‭11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: ... 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”

I AM vs AI

Should the I fear the AI?
Common threats seen in the increase of AI include: 1. AI can be infected with the Bias and Discrimination of society. AI systems can reflect and even amplify human biases.
2. Privacy and Data Security Issues can be a source of power like data poisoning or model inversion can extract sensitive details.
3. Misinformation, Deepfakes, and Disinformation can be enabled to create false and bias content (images, video, audio, text) which threatens democracy and social cohesion.
4. Job Displacement and Economic Disruption is a possibility.
5. Cybersecurity Threats and Malicious adversarial attacks trickery are possible with a biased or unstable morality.
6. Environmental and Resource Harms with the consumption of enormous energy.
7. Existential and Catastrophic Risks Longer-term worries include super intelligent AI escaping human control.
8. There can be a Concentration of power in a few tech companies.
9. Erosion of human autonomy through over-reliance, dependence, or manipulation.
The possibility are endless and even AI does not know the future for it is absolutely dependent on the tree of knowledge and external input. While we are impressed with the speed of AI there is a a lag. But the creator of the universe, if it is outside of time and space, would know not only instantly but in advance. If a man can tap into the I AM he would have a decided advantage over IA.
Recently, there has been a lot of talk about extraterrestrials or as some have said they are "Interdimensional" entities.<ref>Interdimensional is an adjective defined as existing, occurring, or traveling between dimensions of space or time. <ref> Could they control AI as a ghost in the machine?
Fear not.
The AI ghost in the machine, if there is one, has always been afraid of the I AM?
