Firstborn / Melchizedek Thread Index (Genesis + 1/2 of Exodus)

Recently I had occasion to share from "One Thing Have I Desired" my thoughts about Yeshua and His right to the Melchizedek priesthood, which included information about Zadok and the Zadok calendar, and I realized that a couple more indexes were needed to help people through the process. If you request a free PDF of the curriculum those (and other) indexes will be included. Otherwise, here you go:
