Who is Melchizedek?

Biblical scholar Dr. Mark Strauss explains how Melchizedek, who only appears in three verses in Genesis 14, casts a long shadow across both the Old and New Testaments.

I’m loving this study of Genesis and the order of Melchizedek! Thanks for making it more clear!

[davidwhaleyTX]

This series of videos on Genesis are well done, well presented and much appreciated! Thank you!

Are the "other true followers of God" around today who are not Christians?

Love the video!
I understand that Melchizedek was High Priest appointed by God. But not in the line of the Levi's( which I think is Israel's line).
My question is how can he be a High Priest from another Israel's line, when Israel (Jacob) is not even born yet?
Jesus is born in the Israel's line, but of Judah not Levi, (which is the line where the High Priest of Israel get chosen=Levi). The line of Judah is another Israel line. Jesus is appointed High Priest by God just like Melchizedek.
Since Israel didn't exist yet, wasn't it a line of Gentiles? Which would show that all humans ( Gentiles and Jews) are in God's plan from the beginning to be saved through faith in Jesus by the grace of God?
I would appreciate some answer, thank you!

Melchizedek or Adoniazedek Is Shem according to the book of Jasher 16 verse 11:
11 And Adonizedek king of Jerusalem, the same was Shem, went out with his men to meet Abram and
his people, with bread and wine, and they remained together in the valley of Melech.

THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.

(Please open the Holy Bible and read the undermentioned Biblical verses 'real time' to understand this write up better).

1. Melchizedek, who's hard to explain
(Heb 5:11)

2. Natural and Spiritual Melchizedek.

In old testament times when all priests blessed with animal sacrifice, Melchizedek the high priest, blessed Abraham with bread and wine.
(Ge 14:18-20).

Jesus Christ the highest priest of all, did exactly the same
(Mt 26:26-28)

Apostle Paul's Testimony
(Heb 5:8-10)

Then what is difficult to explain ??

3. Points hard to explain.
The difficult points.
(Heb 7:1-3)

Jesus had genealogy (Matt 1:1)
and had parents who had faith in truth .(Matt 12:50)
And is God almighty. (Jn 10:30)

Thus, St Paul is NOT telling about the 1st coming, but the SECOND coming Christ.


4. We can recognise 2nd coming Christ if he fulfils the following. (Heb 7:3)

a). Must have no genealogy in Israel unlike 1st coming.

b). Must not have parents in faith, I, e, . They must be gentiles.

c). Must bless with bread and wine like 1st coming as prophecied in (Isa 25:6-9)

d) Must be God Almighty.
(Heb 9:28)

e) Christ forever
(Isa 25:9)

The one who fulfils all these prophecies and conditions is Our Father, the second coming Christ and he's the high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

Amen !

1)
To me, it is obvious, but like some things in Scripture, it is not required for all to know it, such as Jesus saying "to whomever can receive it, let him receive it" as He did with John the Baptist being the Elijah to come. Why then, do some Christians think Elijah is one of the 2 witnesses when Jesus made it clear that Elijah has ALREADY come? Because not all can receive His saying and something go over certain people's heads.

Now ... for Melchizedek:

2)
Melchizedek has neither beginning of days, nor ending. *That is in reference to ETERNALITY, * for Jesus also has neither beginning nor ending.

3)
*Melchizedek is the King of Salem.* It is a disturbing lie to read Jewish and Christian Commentaries that insert "Jerusalem." No. There is nothing about the CITY of Peace. There is literally nothing in the Text that says "Jeru-salem". Nothing. That is an insertion of man, and the blind leaders who don't know the difference. There is only "peace" (Salem - shalom) written in the Text. In fact, there is no city mentioned at all. PEACE is intangible. You cannot see or touch it.

4)
*Melchizedek is the King of Righteousness.* How can a mortal man be the KING of Righteousness!? Only GOD can have such a title! It would be blasphemy to give a title that belongs only to God, to mortal men!

5)
*There is literally no such thing as the "priesthood" of Melchisedek.* That is literally never written. It does not exist in the Text. Saying there is a "priesthood" of Melchizedek is as much an insertion and an error (intentional or otherwise) as inserting 'Jerusalem' into the Text when the Text clearly says "Salem" only. There is, likewise, NO mention of any other priests or successors, NO mention of any Temple, NO mention of any

3b & 4b & 5B)
"My Kingdom is NOT of this world" - Jesus

6)
*Melchizedek is both King and High Priest.* No one else can be both. No king can also be high priest, and no high priest can also be king. ONLY Melchizedek was this, and ONLY Jesus is this.

7)
*His very name means KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS* Do you not hear the blasphemy in that, to call a mere mortal, the KING over RIGHTEOUSNESS!? The very NAME is DIVINE!

FAST FORWARD TO THE NEW TESTAMENT

8)
*The author of Hebrews mentions things that a sacred to the Jews, showing hos Jesus is GREATER than all of the things, but when it comes to Melchizedek, the author does NOT show Jesus as being GREATER, but instead, he shows Jesus as being {EQUAL} to Melchizedek.* When you read the surrounding Chapters in that light, it becomes clear that the one thing the author does not make Jesus "greater than, " is Melchizedek. But instead, he considers Jesus to be "equal to."

8)
*The author is holding something back about Melchizedek.* He says that there are things he wants to tell them about Melchizedek, but they are all too weak and unspiritual and unlearned. He even complains about their spiritual immaturity - rebukes them for it, even. So, the question is, WHAT is it that the author wants to tell the saints about Melchizedek? That he is GOD in the flesh? That he is Christ (Christophany)?

And why is this so hard to imagine? Did not Jacob wrestle with a MAN that he called GOD? Did not three MEN visit Abraham of whom he called his Lord, Yahweh?

10)
*Because the greater always blesses the lessor.* It is firmly established and considered that Abraham was the most righteous man alive in those days. So, if he was the MOST righteous, what in the world could be MORE Righteous than the MOST righteous? Only GOD! The greater blessed the lessor.

11)
And this one, to me, seals the deal. *ABRAHAM GAVE TO MELCHIZEDEK WHAT {{BELONGS}} TO GOD! HE GAVE HIM THE TITHE!* You cannot give what belongs to God to anything else! And no righteous man would take what belongs to God unto himself. It would be robbery, perhaps sin! So, why does Abraham, who knew better, give what belongs to GOD, to a moral man? It is for the same reason Abraham went running off to three strangers, bowed, and call them his master! Melchizedek has to be GOD!

*Melchisedec order*
God's interpretation in Hebrews 7 clearly reveals who Melchisedec is to the New testament saints. We don't have to follow the Genealogy of Melchisedec since the writer of Hebrews have started mentioning Melchisedec from Chapter 5 & 6 quoting from Psalms 110. Melchisedec is not a type of Christ but Christ is sworn and ordained after the order of Melchisedec by God in Psalms 110 in eternity. This prophetical ordination concerning Christ is again mentioned in Hebrews chapter 5:5 to the begotten Son of God, which is to say to the Resurrected Christ (Psalms 2:7 & Acts 13:33)
The prophecy of Hebrews 5:6 concerning Christ gets fulfilled in Hebrews 6:19 & 20 as He entered within the eternal veil. Before entering Into the eternal veil, Jesus was the forerunner and in entering, God's eternal Ordination after the order of Melchisedec fulfilled.

Today we've a mediator (Hebrews 8:6)who's with an excellent ministry established in better promises or prophecies (Psalms 110) Law, Levitical priesthood, Animal sacrifices & blood, brings no perfection but God's begotten Son who is after the order of Melchisedec as our High priest, mediator and intercessor(Hebrews 7:25 & 26) is able to save to the uttermost.

Many excellent things are mentioned of Jesus Christ who is after Melchisedec's eternal order.

God's prophecy in Psalms 2:7 and 110:4 was only for Christ alone which the Hebrews writer clearly highlighted in Hebrews 5:4.

Begotten(Resurrected) Son of God is made a High priest after the order of Melchisedec and not the Apostles. Only the glorified Christ our forerunner after He entered into the eternal veil was made a high priest after the order of Melchisedec and not before that while Jesus was in earth (Hebrews 8:1-4).
Hebrews 7:14-17, the scripture talks not only about the evidence, but yet far more evdient: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec ariseth after the power of an endless life another priest Jesus Christ, whom God testifieth after the order of Melchisedec. These verses confirmed that Melchisedec is the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ received no old testament Genealogies ordination since He's after the power of an endless life and after the similitude of Melchisedec The Holy Ghost of God the Testifieth. Hallelujah.

Study from God, about The Begotten Son of God & The order of Melchisedec and not from the theologians and Hebrew Dictionary.

Praying in the Holy Ghost in tongues, God's mysteries will be revealed whose name is to be blessed. Many excellent things are written about Melchisedec in the Holy Scripture.
