Satan disputed over Moses' body(Jude v.9) Abraham's passage to the ''city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God,' would have been ever fraught with Satan claiming credit for his largesse.
The encounter with Melchizedek is inserted in verses before.(14.18-20) In his refusal we see the enormity of Abraham's faith. It was hinged on the blessing that goes with the everlasting Covenant. It is what God promised to whosoever believed in the Covenant by faith and abided in Christ. "And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth."The heavenly blessings come from God the Father and the Word which was with God. This heaven and the earth is framed by the word of God.(Heb.11.3)
My testimony is that I have not taken a single thread or shoelatchet by 'Donate now'. Among the white Evangelical and ethnic minorites all they heard was my exposition of the Bible as inerrant. According to the counsel of the holy Spirit I served the Lord. St John referred to Christ,"He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. ( Jn 1.27) In my case I can only say I prefer abiding with Christ than cadge 'donations' from reprobate sons of perditions who founded a new Canaan over the first nations, Chinese coolies and cotton picking slaves and have invited wrath of God on themselves. Grace of God saved me from ever wanting their favours.Is it from pride? Oh no. I learned to be content as with Paul, in whatever circumstances I am. Amen.
