Shem's Blessing
Let's look at some of the clues in the biblical
text. Notice carefully the kingdoms that are
represented at the beginning of Genesis 14,
especially how they can be traced to the genealogy of the sons of Noah - Ham, Japheth and
Shem.
Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim are
all kingdoms descended from Canaan, son of
Noah's wicked son, Ham. Shinar is another
kingdom descended from Ham. Elam appears
descended from Shem. And the kingdom of
Goiim (in Hebrew, literally "the nations") appears descended from Japheth, father of "the
maritime nations".
The battle lines drawn up in Genesis 14 are
confusing, but here's what happened: the king
of Elam, aligned with three other kingdoms,
defeated an alliance of the kings of Sodom,
Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboim and Zoar, reducing them to servitude. Abraham, in turn, defeats the alliance led by the king of Elam, in
order to rescue his nephew, Lot, who had been
seized as a prisoner of war in the earlier battle.
As a result, the descendent of Shem, Abraham, now ruled over the descendants of Ham
and Japheth - just as Noah had prophesied
would happen.
Precisely at this moment, Melchizedek appears. And what does he do? He pronounces a
blessing over Abraham that sounds a lot like
the blessing that Noah pronounced over Shem

God’s Love ~ Salvation ~ New
Life
Draw close to the Lord and join us for
the Life in the Spirit Seminar here at the
Center on Saturday September 12, 2015
As Catholic Christians, we believe that marriage is
between one man and one woman. This belief is
rooted in Sacred Scripture, Natural Law and
2000 years of Christian Tradition,. To Change
and redefine marriage will have ramifications for
families now and in the future, I stand with the
Catholic bishops of the United States as we had
hoped there would have been another means of
moving forward in society without redefining marriage and family life.
While we stand firm in this belief, as Christians we
must extend respect to all and treat all of God’s
children with dignity even in disagreement. We
cannot be disrespectful but always loving in witnessing our faith. Disrespect and hatred can never
be condoned.
This is an historical moment in the United States.
It gives us as Catholic Christians and opportunity
to uphold the Sacrament of Marriage and the importance of family life.
Gregory Aymond in response to the SCOTUS marriage ruling
