Where was Melchizedek?

Abraham's Ur had fallen; Memphis had fallen. Abraham had defeated Elamite king Kindattu (Chedorlaomer) All the great empires in the region were now gone as Melchizedek and Abraham celebrated victory over the pagan nations; the Egyptian nomes would war with each other just as the Babylonian city/states did the very same thing.

Melchizedek and Abraham found peace with the God of all creation. (Genesis 14:18-19) Melchizedek and Abraham believed in the same God, while the whole Middle-East was falling apart. Melchizedek the king of Salem the priest of the most high God.

If Abraham were alive today, Abraham would pray in Jerusalem. Abraham would tell the Israelites about his world when all the civilizations in the Middle-East fell before God. Today, Israel is surrounded by enemies becoming more powerful. Israel must remember to call out to God. Iran and her allies like Elamite king Kindattu/ Chedorlaomer will be crushed.
