Episodes Summary:

What's covered in this reading:

  • The alliance of five kings against four in the Valley of Siddim
  • The defeat of Sodom and Gomorrah and the capture of Lot
  • Abram's rescue mission with 318 trained men
  • The encounter with Melchizedek, king of Salem
  • Abram's refusal to accept reward from the king of Sodom

Key reflection:

  • "Melchizedek" in Hebrew means righteous king
  • "Salem" connects to shalom, meaning peace, making him the king of peace
  • He was both king and high priest, a role Jack connects to Jesus, who is described in Scripture as being "in the order of Melchizedek"
