11Q Melchizedek

Chapter 1
Premium narration
1
Thus saith the Lord by Moses: At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release. And this is the manner of the release: every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, nor of his brother because the Lord's release hath been proclaimed.
2
And thus saith the Lord by Moses concerning the year of jubilee: Thou shalt hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof. It shall be a jubilee unto thee; ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
3
Behold, the interpretation thereof: it concerneth the latter days, even the first week of the jubilee that followeth the nine jubilees. The day of atonement of the tenth jubilee is the day appointed for the great release when atonement shall be made for all the sons of light, and for all the men of the lot of Melchizedek.
4
He shall return them unto their inheritance. He shall proclaim liberty unto them, that they may be loosed from all their iniquities. So is it written by the prophet Isaiah: To proclaim the year of the Lord's good pleasure, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn.
5
And he that proclaimeth this is the Anointed of the Spirit even he of whom Daniel spake: Until the Anointed Prince, there shall be seven weeks. And he that proclaimeth glad tidings is he that is the announcer of salvation, of whom it is written: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that proclaimeth salvation, that saith unto Zion: Thy God reigneth.
6
Thy God that is, Melchizedek; for he is the heavenly Elohim that delivereth them from the hand of Belial. He shall execute the judgments of God, even according to the word that is written: God hath taken His stand in the divine assembly; in the midst of the gods He judgeth.
7
Concerning Melchizedek it is also written: Above it return Thou on high; the Lord shall judge the peoples. Therefore the heavenly assembly riseth up against Belial and his band, and Melchizedek shall stand at the head; and the angels of righteousness shall be with him.
8
And it is written concerning him: He standeth in the divine assembly. He hath taken His stand among the gods; He judgeth in the midst of the elohim. So shall Melchizedek avenge the judgments of God; he shall deliver them from the hand of Belial, and from the hand of all the spirits of his lot.
9
And he hath the help of all the angels of justice. He is the head of all the sons of heaven that take vengeance upon Belial. The day of judgment hath been spoken of by the prophet even the day of the year of grace of Melchizedek when he shall set up his armies, even the holy congregation of God, that they may execute the judgments of God.
10
On that day shall the Lord deliver them from Belial, and from all the spirits of his lot even all them that have rebelled against the Father of light. He shall help them. He shall make atonement for them. He shall redeem them by his hand.
11
And the Anointed of the Spirit shall stand up; and the messenger shall declare the salvation. He shall proclaim glad tidings: Thy God reigneth. Behold, thy King cometh.
12
Then shall Zion be comforted; the mourners shall be turned into joy; the captives shall be freed; the prisoners shall come forth. And the great release shall be made known throughout the land, and unto the ends of the earth.
13
This is the day of which it was said by Isaiah the prophet: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that bringeth tidings of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion: Thy God reigneth.
14
The mountains are the prophets they that have spoken in the name of the Lord, that have published peace before the time. The feet of him that bringeth good tidings is the Anointed of the Spirit. He shall stand up in the latter days; he shall comfort all them that mourn in Zion; he shall bring liberty unto the captives; he shall set the prisoners free.
15
And the day of the year of grace is the great day of atonement even the day of the great release when Melchizedek shall make atonement for the sons of light, and shall judge the rebels of his lot, and shall reign in glory upon the throne of his priesthood for ever and ever.
16
Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be Melchizedek, the priest of God Most High. Blessed be the Anointed of the Spirit. Blessed be the heavenly assembly that standeth with him. Blessed be the year of release, the year of the Lord's good pleasure, the day of vengeance of our God, the day of atonement of the tenth jubilee. Amen, and amen. Hallelujah.
