Who was Melchizedek? | GotQuestions.org 

Me too. ✨💖💪✝️🕊️💖✨

He does that to His children

@@biblebasics101 Where does the Bible say a type of Christ?

@@donotcompromise 1. The book of Hebrews is an anti-typical book which means that it explains how Jesus was foreshadowed/prefigured by a person, place or event in the Old Testament; Therefore Jesus cannot be a type of Himself. Melchizedek was NOT a pre-incarnate/Christophany. a. (Heb. 7:15-16) makes it clear Jesus was “another” priest, Not the same: *Another (Grk.-heteros) adj., means a different person or a second of a different kind that is both distinct & qualitatively different from its counterpart. Therefore, they may be similar in type, but not the same in person. (Gal. 1:6)(Acts 4:12)(2 Cor. 11:4) b. Hence Jesus cannot be both the shadow and the substance. 2. Without father or mother, without descent, having no beginning of days or end of life are simply adjectives to express the superiority of Christ priesthood over the Levitical priesthood: a. Without father or mother- means they were not the reason for his position as King & Priest; obviously he had literal parents just as Jesus did, however whereas Jesus’ parents are recorded for us in scripture (Matt. 1:1-16)(Luke 3:23-38), Melchizedek’s parents are not. (He has no origin story) b. Without descent- means that he did not become a priest on the basis of his genealogical descent; Unlike the Levites whom could not serve unless they could prove their pedigree (Had to descend from Aaron, Amram, Levi or Kohath). (Ex. 6:16-20; 28:41-43)(Ezra 2:62-63)(Neh. 7:64) c. Had no beginning of days or end of life - means that unlike the Levitical priest who could only serve from age 25-50 (Numb. 8:24-25), Melchizedek’s priesthood had no term limits on it. *Also, there is simply no O.T record kept of birth or his death.

The Bible also calls Lot righteous...

@@arcguardian Righteousness is obedience to God’s law, and Melchizedek is King of it.

@@arcguardianand so was Noah - Genesis 6:9

So you think there are two High Priests?

On point c. The High Priest remained in office until death.

The Angel of the LORD who is Himslef God is most likely Christophony, or atleast Theophony. Also the 4th man in the fire is called the Son of God in daniel and the word for God used is not Elohim but a singular aramaic word, so it probably refers to Jesus. Also Isaiah 6 the One seated on the throne according to the gospel of John is Jesus.

Sorry, that’s a copy paste error. You just got a preview of my next video to be released this Friday.

I wouldn't use the phrase "God the Son" - it is nowhere in the Bible. The Bible refer Jesus as the Son of God, and never as "God the Son". God bless you.

@@GodIsLoveAndMerciful John 20:28, Titus 2:13, John 8:58, Hebrews 1:8, John 10:30, etc...study the word my friend.

@@GodIsLoveAndMerciful You wouldn't. But biblical Christians do.

@@Qui_Gon_Jinn_76 1. John 20:28 I honestly don't know why Jesus didn't correct Thomas that He is not God. Maybe He did, and John didn't write it. But I wouldn't call Jesus 'God' simply because a disciple said so when he saw our Lord after His crucifixion, because Jesus HIMSELF made it clear when he was called 'good' by someone: Jesus said, “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good-except God alone. 2. Titus 2:13 The verse says: Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; It is talking about two persons: the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ 3. John 8:58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” Yes, before Abraham existed, Jesus existed. 4. Hebrews 1:8 Well let's look at the original Psalms 45 where this verse is quoted: 6 Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom. 7 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy. In verse 7 it says, "therefore God, your God, has anointed you, Does that mean Jesus Has a God, because it says "your God"? 5. John 10:30 Jesus was talking about the unity He has with His Father. You can look at John 17:21: I pray that they will all be ONE, just as you and I are ONE-as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me. Lastly I would like to see your understanding of the verse below: 1 Corinthians 8:6 But for us, There is one God, the Father, by whom all things were created, and for whom we live. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created, and through whom we live.

No he wasn't. Judaism rejects The Father.
