MELCHISEDEC
Very little is said about Melchisedec in the Bible.
There is even less said about him in the church realm.
I was raised in a major denomination for 20 years. I also attended their Bible College for 2 years. Never in all those years did I hear any sermon or teaching on Melchisedec. I would often ask, "Who is Melchisedec?"
Hebrews 7:1
For this Melchisedec, King of Salem, Priest of the Most High God, Who Met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
When ever I would ask someone about Melchisedec the reply was usually "Who?" I would say, "Melchisedec." One person replied, "Do you mean Methuselah, the guy who lived 969 years?" I said, "No Melchisedec, the guy who met Abraham and is STILL ALIVE as reported in Hebrews!" He looked at me funny and said, "What? You mean Melchisedec was still alive when Hebrews was written?"
I then started to turn my Bible to Hebrews 7:8 where it says that someone WITNESSED meeting Melchisedec and reported that HE LIVETH!
Hebrews 7:8
And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom IT IS WITNESSED that HE (Melchisedec!) LIVETH.
The author of the book of Hebrews knew someone who saw Melchisedec! An unnamed person in Hebrews bares witness that Melchisedec was Still Alive. The same Melchisedec that received tithes from Abraham in Genesis was still walking this earth. I believe with all my heart that Melchisedec is still on earth today and is Alive & Well! It is no coincidence that there are multiple references to the "Order of Melchisedec" as having the power of an Endless Life.
There is relatively little written about Melchisedec in Hebrews. There are only 2 references to Melchisedec in the Old Testament. The Old Testament spelling is a little different, Melchizedek. The New Testament spelling is Melchisedec but both are referring to the same person.
Melchisedec is a Priest and Jesus is a Priest. There is a traditional teaching that says Melchisedec is Jesus. There are several reasons why Jesus can NOT be Melchisedec and we will look at those scriptures which prove it.
Hebrews 7:15
And it is yet far more evident: for that after the Similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth ANOTHER PRIEST (Jesus!)
This verse clearly states that Jesus is similar to but different than Melchisedec! Jesus is Not Melchisedec. He is ANOTHER PRIEST made Like Melchisedec. Contrary to tradition, Jesus is very much like Melchisedec but they are not the same. They’re TWO different people.
Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus has a Father. Jesus is the Son of the Highest. He also was born of a virgin and has a Mother. It is safe to say that Jesus has a Father and a Mother unlike Melchisedec!
Hebrews 7:3
Without Father, Without Mother, without descent, having Neither Beginning of days, Nor End of Life; but made Like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
OK there it is. Melchisedec was without Mother and without Father. Jesus has a Mother & a Father, so therefore Jesus is Not Melchisedec. This verse also tells us that Melchisedec is LIKE the SON. They resemble each other! Here is the same verse in another translation;
Hebrews 7:3
Without Father, without Mother, without genealogy, having Neither Beginning of days nor End of Life, but Resembling the Son of God, He (Melchisedec) remains a Priest Forever. (NRSV)
Melchisedec and Jesus are alike in many ways but it is obvious that they are two separate individuals. One way they are alike is that they both will be a Priest Forever and both have the power of an Endless Life.
Death will never claim Melchisedec or Jesus. Both of them will Live Forever. Father and Sons resemble each other in that they both look and act alike!
Jesus was Made SIMILAR to Melchisedec.
Hebrews 7:15
And it is yet far more evident: for that after the SIMILITUDE of Melchisedec there ariseth Another Priest, (Jesus)
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the Power of an Endless Life. (KJV)
Hebrews 5:6
As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest For Ever after the Order of Melchisedec. (KJV)
Hebrews 7:17
For he testifieth, Thou art a priest For Ever after the Order of Melchisedec. (KJV)
That’s why Melchisedec is still alive, he has the power of an ENDLESS LIFE! Jesus also has that same power over death. Jesus is a Priest after the Order of Melchisedec and WE ARE TOO!
Melchisedec Priests are immortal in their physical bodies. Jesus brought "immortality to light" through the Gospel! Jesus is our example and our forerunner.
2 Timothy 1:10
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: (KJV)
"We shall Not all Sleep" or Die! There will be a group who follow Jesus into the Melchisedec Priesthood and not die in the physical body. They will enter the Most Holy Place where only the High Priest goes.
Hebrews 6:19-20
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which Entereth into that Within the Veil ( the Most Holy Place!);
20 Whither the Forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an High Priest For Ever after the Order of Melchisedec. (KJV)
Jesus said if we believed his words, then we would Never Die! If Jesus said it, then it IS possible. Jesus knew about the Melchisedec Priesthood and the power of an endless life in the physical body.
John 11:26
And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me Shall Never Die. Believest thou this? (KJV)
John 8:51
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep My saying, he shall Never See Death. (KJV)
I feel there is ample evidence to show exactly who Melchisedec is, even with the few scriptures we have. First we must realize that this subject is not for the immature babes in the Lord.
The author of Hebrews wanted to teach them about Melchisedec but refrained from doing so. Why? Because the people were not ready.
Hebrews 5:10-13
Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11Of Whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of Milk, and not of Strong Meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. (KJV)
According to that scripture, the subject of Melchisedec is not for those in the milk realm. This subject is STRONG MEAT for those who are Mature. Now it’s time to teach the mature ones.
It is wise to keep our "wineskins" oiled as we search for answers. We must remain flexible so that our wineskins will not break. New Wine always stretches the wineskin. New Wine is New Truth.
New truth will always expand your mind. Let’s examine some old facts about Melchisedec and look at them in a NEW Light! Are you flexible?
