Melchizedek and the Passover Lamb: The Yahushaic Covenant Volume iii

This comprehensive work, Melchizedek and The Passover Lamb by Rav Sha’ul, presents a detailed theological and historical exploration of Yahusha (Jesus) as the Messiah, emphasizing his human lineage, priestly role, and fulfillment of biblical prophecy through the lens of Hebrew Scriptures and Torah law. The book challenges traditional Christian doctrines such as the pre-existence of Christ, the Trinity, and the doctrine of original sin, advocating instead for a Messianic understanding rooted in strict adherence to Torah, priestly lineage, and the prophetic fulfillment of the Passover Lamb and Melchizedek.

The author meticulously traces Yahusha’s genealogy through both royal Davidian and Zadokite priestly bloodlines, demonstrating that Yahusha was uniquely qualified by birth to serve as the Eternal High Priest and King of Israel. The narrative underlines the political and religious tensions at the time of Yahusha’s birth, explaining King Herod’s violent attempts to eliminate rival claimants to the throne, and reveals the arranged marriages and protective custody that ensured the preservation of these sacred bloodlines.

Central to the argument is the interpretation of Yahusha’s baptism (mikveh) by John the Baptist, who was himself the rightful High Priest from the House of Zadok. This mikveh is presented not as a mere ritual but as the moment Yahusha was consecrated as Melchizedek (the Ruling Zadok High Priest), and the Passover Lamb who took upon himself the sins of the world. The laying on of hands transferred priestly authority and the sins of the people to Yahusha, who then fled into the wilderness as the scapegoat, later receiving divine confirmation through a vision described in Zechariah 3.

Melchizedek and The Passover Lamb is a detailed, scripture-grounded work that reclaims the identity and role of Yahusha as the human Messiah, Eternal High Priest, and final Passover sacrifice according to Torah law and prophecy. It invites readers to reconsider inherited doctrines, embrace a Torah-centered faith, and understand the profound theological significance of Mikveh and lineage in salvation history.

Yahusha’s claim to Messiahship is anchored in the unique convergence of two crucial bloodlines: the royal Davidian line through his father Yahseph and the priestly House of Zadok through his mother Miriam. This dual lineage was not accidental but carefully arranged and protected through strategic marriages and political maneuvering, fulfilling Daniel’s prophecy of the Messiah’s timing and qualifications. This underscores the importance of genealogy in biblical messianic expectations and challenges the common Christian narrative of a divine incarnation detached from human lineage.

The text provides a strong scriptural and linguistic argument against the traditional doctrine of Christ’s pre-existence and the Trinity, emphasizing that Yahusha’s existence began at his human birth and that the fullness of deity dwelt in him only after his resurrection. This challenges centuries of Christian dogma by showing that Yahusha was not God incarnate but a man who was “begotten” into divinity through resurrection, becoming the “firstborn among many sons.” This has profound implications for Christology and the understanding of salvation.

The book also serves as an introduction to Rav Sha’ul’s broader body of work of over 30 books, which further explores related topics such as the Heavenly Scroll, Mystery Babylon, the Pauline Doctrine, the Kingdom of Yahuah, and much more.

The Bible declares that Yahusha first existed at his human birth to both his parents Joseph (Yahseph) and Mary (Miriam). The proof that he was born with the seed of Yahseph is that he died as death is passed on genetically to all men through the father's seed (Adam). The Bible declares that Yahusha was born imperfect, void of the knowledge of Yahuah. The Bible further declares that Yahusha was born disobedient with his own selfish will (as all men are) and had to learn obedience. The Bible declares that Yahusha was in need of repentance from sin and that his faith in Yahuah wavered at times and he was consumed with guilt and exceedingly sorrowful. I realize this is not what we have been taught our entire lives, but it is what the Bible declares. In this book, I am going to explore how Yahusha, as Melchizedek and Passover Lamb, took away the sin introduced into the world by Adam while being simply "fully human in every way". I will explain the significance of the Torah in the life of Yahusha as it applies to The Passover Lamb, human Messiah, and Eternal High Priest. The goal in this book is to truly understand the depths of the sacrifice and blood of Yahusha the Messiah. I will introduce the true lineage of Miriam (Mary) as a Princess of Israel and Daughter of Jerusalem. I will introduce Yahseph (Joseph) as a Prince of Israel and a Lion of Judah. Explaining how Yahusha's bloodline was carefully cultivated to bring about Melchizedek the Ruling Zadok. This book will explore the meaning behind the baptism (Mikveh) of Yahusha and explain why it is critical to The Plan of Yahuah. That Plan is to purchase The Elect's salvation from the curse of death levied by the decrees in The Law. This plan of salvation is expressly laid out in prophecy from Genesis to Revelation. It is given to us in the physical examples of the priesthood, the sacrifices, and detailed in "rehearsals" or physical metaphors found in the Torah. The Torah is the foundation of Yahusha's claim to be the Messiah, therefore, we will establish that it is "alive and active" today. The Torah defines his role as Melchizedek and establishes his right to rule through bloodlines and his role as Eternal High Priest of The House of Zadok. All the prophecies and rehearsals in the Torah and Prophets were designed to point to The Messiah and continue to this day to help us understand his role. The Torah explicitly explains his role on Earth to take away sin in the world that holds us all hostage to death. Yahusha literally put to death "sin" by literally dying sinless and therefore defeated death after being PERFECTED during this life through the process of sanctification that we all go through as we too are conformed to his image/example. ----- John 17:19-21 ----- "And for their sakes I sanctify myself (through the Truth), that they (who are conformed to my image/example) also might be sanctified through the truth. Death, the penalty of sin, cannot hold he who is "without sin". Yahusha was then able to defeat the curse of death passed on to mankind through the genetic structure all men inherit from Adam. I explore what "spotless" or "without sin" means and from what point Yahusha was considered "sinless" by Yahuah. We will ask and answer the hard questions such as: Must Yahusha have lived his entire life without sin? Is there any real evidence in scripture that would help us determine Yahusha's state of perfection vs. sin at his execution on Passover? If we are truly "saved by faith in the promises of Yahuah", then we all should know and understand what those promises are. We should know how Yahuah fulfilled them to bring about our salvation through Yahusha the Messiah. Faith is not faith if what we have put our trust in was not promised by Yahuah! So what we claim as "faith" had better be firmly grounded in a promise made by Yahuah or we are going to be greatly disappointed.
