1 | Melchizedek a preincarnate Christ? | Heb 7:3 | Makarios | 8017 | ||
I do not believe that this verse (or any verse) is referring to Melchizedek as being the Son of God Himself. I've looked at this verse and came to the following conclusion: Melchizedek was an actual historical person (Genesis 14), but he was merely someone that prophetically "foreshadowed" Christ. In response to Hebrews 7:3, the OT has no record of Melchizedek's father or mother or geneaology, and this verse is saying that, rather than making him out to be Christ himself. Hebrews 7:3 is not saying that Melchizedek had no father or mother, but it is saying that none of those items was included in the Genesis 14 account and that they were purposefully omitted in order to 'foreshadow' the divine nature and imperishability of the Messiah. Melchizedek's name is made up of two words meaning "king" and "righteous". Melchizedek was also a priest. Therefore, Melchizedek foreshadows Christ as a righteous king/priest. Melchizedek was also the king of "Salem" (which means peace). This points forward to Christ as the King of peace. Thank you for your thoughts! |

Noland: you have rightly defined Melchizedek for he was a type and shadow of Jesus Christ to come. Their are also some groups thart beleive that they are of socalled order of Melchizedek. Very Good answer. Ezekiel |
