Pam, I've always been fascintated about his identity but I've never found anything definitive about it. This is one of many articles about his identity. Was Melchizedek a theophany or a real man? Bible scholars and students are somewhat divided on this issue. From Unger’s Bible Dictionary: (“king of righteousness”). The king of Salem (i.e., Jerusalem) and “a priest of God Most High,” who went out to congratulate Abraham on his victory over Chedorlaomer and his allies. He met him in the “valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).” Melchizedek brought bread and wine for the exhausted warriors and bestowed his blessing upon Abraham. In return the patriarch gave to the royal priest a tenth of all the booty taken from the enemy (Genesis 14:17-20), about 1970 b.c. Giving the tenth was a practical acknowledgment of the divine priesthood of Melchizedek, for the tenth was, according to the general custom, the offering presented to Deity. Melchizedek is mentioned in Psalm 110:4, where it is foretold that the Messiah would be “a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek,” and in Hebrews 5:7, where these two passages of the OT are quoted and the typical relation of Melchizedek to our Lord is stated at great length. “According to the order of Melchizedek” (Psalm 110:4) is explained by Gesenius and Rosenmüller to mean “manner,” i.e., likeness in official dignity—a king and priest. The relation between Melchizedek and Christ as type and antitype is made in the epistle to the Hebrews to consist in the following particular: each was a priest (1) who is not of the Levitical tribe; (2) who is superior to Abraham; (3) whose beginning and end are unknown; (4) who is not only a priest, but also a king of righteousness and peace. “Without father,” etc. (Hebrews 7:3), refers to priestly genealogies. Melchizedek is not found on the register of the only line of legitimate priests; his father’s name is not recorded, nor his mother’s; no evidence points out his line of descent from Aaron. It is not affirmed that he had no father or that he was not born at any time or died on any day; but these facts were nowhere found on the register of the Levitical priesthood. Melchizedek offers an expressive type of Christ, the King-Priest, especially of the Messiah’s work in resurrection, inasmuch as the ancient character offers bread and wine, memorials of sacrifice. The writer to the Hebrews beautifully describes the everlasting continuance and kingly authority of Christ’s high priesthood by the phrase “according to the order of Melchizedek” (Hebrews 6:20; cf. 7:23-24). The priesthood, as handed down through the line of Aaron, was often set aside by death. The Melchizedek aspect of Christ’s priesthood portrays Christ in the perpetuity of His priestly office. “He always lives to make intercession” (Hebrews 7:25). The following, taken from The Bible Knowledge Commentary, is an illustration of one who thinks Melchizedek was more than a man: 7:1-3. To begin with, the writer set forth the personal greatness of the Old Testament figure Melchizedek. As a fit prototype for Christ Himself, Melchizedek was both a king and a priest. He both blessed . . . Abraham and received his tithes. Melchizedek’s name and title suggest the messianic attributes of righteousness and peace. So far as the Old Testament record is concerned, he was without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life. In saying this, the author is often taken to mean that the silence of the inspired record presents Melchizedek as typologically like the Son of God. But though this is possibly true, the statements do not sound like it, particularly the assertion that Melchizedek remains a priest forever. The word “forever” translates a phrase (eis to dienekes) that occurs only in Hebrews (here and in 10:12, 14) and means “continuously” or “uninterruptedly.” It seems more natural that the author meant that Melchizedek belonged to an order in which there was no end to the priesthood of those engaged in it. (He later said in 7:8 that Melchizedek “is declared to be living.”) If this is correct, Melchizedek may have been an angelic being who reigned for a time at Salem (i.e., Jerusalem). If so, the statement that he was “without beginning of days” would not mean that he was eternal, but simply that he had a pretemporal origin. Nor would this concept of Melchizedek as an angel elevate him to the same level as God’s Son, since the author painstakingly asserted the Son’s superiority to the angels (1:5-14). There is indeed evidence that, at Qumran, Melchizedek was regarded as an angelic personage. If this is the case in Hebrews, then the Son of God is the High Priest in an order in which Melchizedek is simply a priest. In Him, Eagle One |

Joe, Since the last time that I sent you a baited question, re. "What is your definition of a 'Bible Bully'?" (Which you wisely chose not to respond to), I've been reading your posts. I have concluded that you are not the type of Christian I suspected you to be. I now feel that you are an intelligent, sincere man that occasionally speaks too quickly. When I say that you speak too quickly, I refer to the fact that your resevoir of knowledge overcomes you prior to forethought. Be that as it may, I respect your depth of scriptural knowledge and, more importanly, perception. I apologize for assuming that you are a Christian egotist with deep scripture knowledge. In Him, Eagle One |

Greetings to you "He is the One". I notice in your bio that you live in Morgan Hill. Your mention of that area stirs up memories of my youth. During my Sophmore year in college in 1957 I was at San Benito College in Hollister, CA. I think the college is now in Gilroy. In any case, I was happy to get your message. It's always a genuine pleasure to hear from a Brother that I haven't met in person or in print. In your bio you also mentioned that you are a fairly new believer. That also cheers my heart. Although you've been walking with God since 2000, may I express my heartfelt "Welcome to the Family of God". I can't tell you how happy I am to greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I'm looking forward to that day when I'll greet you in person when we are all with Him. In Him, Eagle One |

Greetings John Adams, Your intrusion is welcomed, as is your insight regarding the question. After reading your post, I read your profile. I appreciate the information re. the Presbyterian stance. I admit to you that I did not know what it was. I (ashamedly) admit that I have always lumped the Presbyterian denomination into what many, including me, conservative Christians have unlovingly called, "Mainline Churches". I offer my profound, sincere apology for my spiritually arrogant stupidity. Thanks Brother. In Him, Eagle One |

Greetings once again Brother John, I'm happy to be talking to a "Brown Water Squid". You guys had some nasty duty. I once hitched a ride, and I was extremely uncomfortable (Terrified). I always felt better riding "above" the water as opposed to "on" the water. (Many of my passengers didn't feel that way). Please greet your pastor for me. I look forward to the day that we will greet one another in His presence. Brother John, let me ask you to take a look at "Net Bible". I'm finding some really fine studies at that site. In as much as I have a "loose" grip on Greek and Hebrew, I'm always on a "Recon" for good, solid stuff. When it's convenient for you, please take a look at www.bible.org/docs/ot/books/isa/55.htm by Greg Herrick, Ph.D. I've been through it once and thus far my spirit has not rebelled at anything. I look forward to further discussions with you. In Him, Eagle One |

Dear Brother John, I don't mind telling you that my name is Tom. I live in Omaha, NE and have been here since 1968. My Wife and I are blessed in that we have 7 Grandchildren and they are all right here in Omaha. They all know the Lord as Savior except the three youngest: 3, 1, and 4 months. I too favor the NKJV since about 1981 or 1982. When I first began reading the bible in 1973 I bought a KJV with no notes, references, or anything. My joy then and now is to just read it and enjoy it. But for study purposes I begin with the NKJV and use all the references I have at hand. In addition I like to compare translations of verses being studied. At one time, I used the Amplified quite a bit. Sometimes the Amplified seems to just go on and on. I agree that the "Net" is a good easy to read translation, but it has no "rhythm". I love the poetic flow of the KJV. There is nothing more pleasurable then to just read it and let it flow through your spirit with no urgency re. meanings, references, etc. I made a mistake re. the article entitled, "Are You Thirsty? Then, Come: God's Gracious Covenant of Life in Isaiah 55". You'll find it at http://www.bible.org/docs/ot/books/isa/isa/55.htm When it's convenient, please take a look at it and tell me what you think. I haven't read Brother Dave Riever's book, but He spoke at our church years ago. I recall how he asked God to heal him over and over. But at that time he didn't know how God would use his injuries as a foundation for his ministry. My admiration for that Brother knows no bounds. Once again Brother, thanks for your response. I look forward to hearing from you. In Him, Eagle One |

Greetings to ArmyGrunt from another Army Grunt, I extend my respects to you for your service in Nam as a grunt. Although I know that Laos qualifies as "In Country" service, I missed the 24 hour brand of fear you faced. After 4 years as a state side grunt officer, I volunteered for duty as a pilot for the CIA's esteemed airline service at Long Tieng. The only contact I had with the real Army guys after that was occasional LRRP insertions in Laos. Even though it's been 34 years, I still regret not serving on the ground in NAM. To this day I do not know how I survived emotionally without knowing Jesus as my Lord and Savior. You might note that Brother John served as an LST guy supplying the Brown Water Squids. Hazardous duty to say the least. There's probably a bunch of us out there. This a bible study forum but it is always good to communicate with guys having like backgrounds. Good to hear from you. In Him, Eagle One |

Greetings to you Brother Benjamite, I truly appreciate the scripture references you posted. I haven't posted for a long time. (60 days). However, since my last post I've continued to read all the postings. I will confess that in the 25 years I've been with the Lord, I've been really angry with a Christian Brother on two occasions. The most recent occurance was 60 days ago. For some reason I've never been able to accept the fact that "Not all Christians are nice people." This sometimes causes me much grief. Every time a Brother does or says something offensive, I react the same way. (Emotional grief). Prior to my conversion I spent 8 years as an infantry officer with 4 years in a combat zone. I thought I was tough. Presumably not. I've spent the last 60 days or so smarting from the vitriolic attitude of a Brother. So here I am being transparent and putting myself at risk with the entire forum membership. Thanks again Brother Benjamite. Eagle One |

16 | Definition of a bible bully | 1 Cor 13:4 | Eagleone | 35871 | ||
Greetings to you Steve, Thank you for your prompt response. My heartfelt (Is that a real word?) hope is to develop a genuine, positive dialogue with the Brother involved in, thus far a one sided dispute. Perhaps it won't work. But, after carrying an ungodly grudge for 60 days, it was time for me to confront the source of my agitaion. In the old days, (really old) I would react with violence. Thank God those days are gone. Now I just seek good dialogue. If the person I speak of prefers a non-response or a defensive response I will accept that without further comment. However, I now feel better in that I've been able to speak my mind. I willingly place my comments before the members of this forum. If I've spoken in selfishness or any other Non-Christian manner, the Holy Spirit and my Brothers in Christ will notify me of same "Quickly and Definitively". Thanks for reading my lengthy post. In Him, Eagle ONe |

Hello Tim, Greetings to you in Christ. Your comments and accompanying scripture is recieived in gratitude. I welcome any other insight you'd care to share with me.

Please give me any and all info. that you feel led of the Lord to share. Thanks. In Him, Eagle One |
