Bible Question:
Does anyone know the time frame of Melchizedek? Genisis 14:18, Psalm110:4 Hebrews5:6...He appears in all of these books of the Bible and I would like to know what else was going on in the region at that time. Priesthoods were inherited, I thought. So why was this acceptable to the people of the time, that he had no mother and father. I know who I believe it is. I just want to study it in depth. Thank you for any and all info on this esteemed person in the bible. Holly |
Bible Answer: Lelah-Ann, God bless you and welcome to the forum. A good question.I had not given it a lot of thought,Melchizedek even though we dont hear a whole lot about him but he is a very important figure in biblical history,particularly in light of Hebrews 5:6. So I cracked the books last night and my best guesstimate here and I wont etch this in stone, but appears to be between 1,000 and 1,900 B.C. This is best guess on my part,there are others who are far more knowledgeable in this area than myself and they may be able to help you also. In Christ, lionheart |
