Bible Question:
Given the information (both stated and implied) about Melchizedek in Gen.14:18-120 and Heb. 7:1-10, and others, what do you believe is Melchizedek's true identity? |
Bible Answer: Question: Was Melchizedek Jesus ? Short Answer: No, Melchizedek is/was not Jesus. Full answer: Following are two of the best online references to answer your question that I found. (http://bible1.crosswalk.com/Encyclopedias/CondensedBiblicalCyclopedia/) At this website click on the word "Melchizedek". (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/JamiesonFaussetBrown/) At this website, click on Hebrews, then click on Chapter 7. [I apologize for the fact that nowhere does my answer contain the phrase "I believe that...". It doesn't make any difference what you believe, what I believe, or what anyone else believes. The only thing that matters is what the Bible actually says and teaches. All else is nothing more than mere speculation masquerading as fact.] Grace to you, Kalos |
