Bible Question: What are the differences between Melchizedek and Christ? |
Bible Answer: Junikkits I woould say that there are actually more similarities between them then differences! Hebrews chapter 7 speaks at length about how Mechizedek'a priesthood and Christs priesthood - Here are some interesting facts - They are both of the same priesthood. Christ's priesthood arose from Melchizedek's. Melchizedek had no anscestors' no genealogy, no beginning and no end and remains a priest perpetually like Jesus. Both were high priests. The both bear the name, "king of righteousness" and "king of Salem". Some say Melchezidek was Jesus come early in a theophany because no one could possibly be without beginning or end and be a perpetual priest except Jesus. Differences - Melchizedek mysteriously appeared from nowhere and dissappeared to nowhere, but Jesus was born and died and rose again. Melchizedek accepted tithes which Jesus did not do. You see only two differences and five similarities there, so they were more alike then not. blessings abound, bowler |
