Who was Melchizedek?

Who was Melchizedek? What can his story tell us about the Messiah?

[micwell]

Melchizedek is exactly who God made Him to be

[JJohnx]

Can anyone share a simpler explanation?  Something brief for a new Christian? :)

It is a misinterpretation of the phrase: after Michael's edict, you are priests forever after the order of Michael's Edict.  Michael is God's son in the same manner that Gabriel is his daughter, Michael is the immortal spirit, Gabriel is the immortal soul, separations of divine spirit done in the act of creation.

The holy scriptures are made in parables therefore the name Melchizedek is use by God and Christ.
