| Tzabatai Zvi, in difficult times, swore allegiance to the Muslim faith and on his death bed at Yom Kippur returned to his original faith as a Jew. For he knew he would be judged by the Almighty, Hashem. Abraham was blessed by Melchitzedek only after they fought the battles together against Gog and Magog and Og and Bashan, the kingdoms of Sdom and Gomorrah. In the wake of that victory, because Melchitzedek had a school that taught about the Unity of the One G-d, Melchitzedek did offer bread and wine to Abraham. G-d`s promise to Abraham precedes this chapter. It is promised to his descendants for time immemorial through Sarah`s son, Isaac, and through Jacob, who struggled with the angel of G-d, and was called Israel, because he prevailed. Machiach can come, so we believe, as Jews, if we observe the Torah and do mitzvahs. Some have the obligation for more Torah, while others have the obligation for more mitzvahs, but each has a duty to do at least some of the other. Todah. |
