Keep in mind that Melchizedek is the subject of this discourse in verses 1- 13. If Melchizedek is the subject, then it is Melchizedek who is being spoken of. So let us supply the proper noun in place of

Melchizedek before the Christian Era and that He still is Melchizedek, which means the King Of Righteousness. Jesus is the King of Righteousness and the Hebrew word for the King of Righteousness is malkiy-tsedeq or Melchizedek. So calling Jesus the Christ by the name Melchizedek offers no contradiction

Who was Melchizedek? The Bible has only a few words to say about him. We will study each occurrence of his name in the Bible, and discover who he really was and why he is important.

Rabbi Eleazar said that Melchizedek's school was one of three places where the Holy Spirit manifested itself. (B. Talmud Makkot 23b.) The Rabbis taught that Melchizedek acted as a priest and handed down Adam's robes to Abraham. (Numbers Rabbah 4:8.)

The belief that Melchizedek was, as we have seen, the Messiah was a strongly held conviction among the Qumran community, as well as among some other Jewish and Gnostic sects in the first century A.D. This seemingly becomes apparent in 11QMelch regarding the coming of Melchizedek as the Messiah

The Melchizedek Priesthood, also known as the "higher" priesthood, is named after the ancient patriarch and high priest Melchizedek, to whom Abraham paid tithes. Doctrine and Covenants 107:3-4 explains why the priesthood is called after him:

(A) Melchizedek's offering of bread and wine to Abraham is the first incidence where bread and wine appear in the Scripture. Melchizedek provided a priesthood which gave the symbols of bread and wine. Jesus also provided a priesthood which gave the symbols of bread and wine.

Christians hold that Melchizedek was a type of Christ, and some even believe that Melchizedek indeed was Christ, since Jesus pre-existed his birth. Reasons provided include that Melchizedek's name means "king of righteousness" according to the author of Hebrews, and that

fear of God, Melchizedek was "ordained a high priest." This translation also describes Melchizedek as establishing peace in his city and being called "the king of heaven" and "the King of peace" (JST Bible Gen 14:25-40).

In Genesis 14, Melchizedek is also referred to as King of Salem, generally believed to be ancient Jerusalem) the fortress city of the Jebusites. He is also identified as the priest of El Elyon. Though

Melchizedek's name can be translated (from Hebrew) either as "Zedek is my king" or as "My king is righteous." The former, which treats Zedek as a proper noun, refers to a Canaanite or other semitic deity with that name. The term appears again in the Hebrew Bible in the name of

Melchizedek, and which has been assigned Melchizedek as its title. Here it is revealed that Melchizedek is indeed identical with Jesus Christ.. Although the text has deteriorated and is unclear in many parts, it appears to indicate that Melchizedek pre-existed as divine

of "God Most High," Melchizedek was the king of Salem, later called Jerusalem. He blessed Abraham and received a tenth of his battle spoils. Various legends grew up around the mysterious figure of Melchizedek in both Christian and Judaic traditions

of Melchizedek because, like Melchizedek, Jesus was not a Levite, and thus would not qualify for the Levitical priesthood (Heb. 7:13-17). Hebrews discusses this subject considerably, listing the following reasons why Jesus' priesthood is superior to the Aaronic/Levitical priesthood:

the Babylonian said that Melchizedek was born circumcised (Genesis Rabbah 43:6) Melchizedek instructed Abraham in the Torah (ibid). Rabbi Eleazar said that Melchizedek's school was one of three places where the Holy Spirit manifested itself (Makkot 23b). Melchizedek acted as a

tradition, Melchizedek was king over the wicked people of Salem, but because of his righteousness, his people repented of their wickedness and became a peaceful city. Also, in Joseph Smith's translation of the Bible, Melchizedek is

Then Abram gave Melchizedek a tithe of all the booty he had taken from the defeated kings, and Melchizedek blessed Abram. Melchizedek said: "Blessed be Abram by Elohim (God) Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. And blessed be Elohim (God) Most High, who delivered your

today who claim to be this Melchizedek, for he has been revealed within us. What holds and controls the people of the world is modern day Mystery Babylon the Great (Rev. 17:3) that has us imprisoned spiritually and psychologically through various mind control techniques. Once the

Melchizedek is not necessarily just the name of an individual who once lived upon Earth, as many may presume. It is also the name of the Cosmic Priesthood that exists through every dimension upon every sacred planet

Melchizedek remains in the etheric retreats and in the subterranean cities, nurtured and guarded until the time when the outer temples can again be re-established. The time for the Melchizedek to reawaken is

Order of Melchizedek has no "name" as such because it is identified by its work and dedication. It is composed of evolved beings who have dedicated themselves to the work of promoting spiritual growth wherever that is possible. It is the one true SPIRITUAL PRIESTHOOD

The spirit that has come to be known as Melchizedek came to the Earth before it was truly formed, while the nature of this experiment was still being shaped by the Elohim, those beings who had taken it upon themselves to attempt a new and daring attempt at combining free will

Moreover, Melchizedek was unique for his time in that he was both a priest and a king. The king could not serve in a priestly function. Only the High Priest could enter the holy of holies. The Lord Jesus

Some believe that Melchizedek was a Christophany—an Old Testament appearance of Christ. Some of the statements made about him in Hebrews suggest that he was a supernatural being. However, in Hebrews 7:3 we are told that Melchizedek was 'made like unto the Son of God,'

what about the statement in Hebrews 7:3 that Melchizedek was 'without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life'? Doesn't this suggest that Melchizedek was really a pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus Christ?

Who was this Melchizedek and why is he so important to Christians today? The answer to that question may surprise you! - (The following is taken from “The Message” a Bible transliteration by Eugene Peterson beginning with Heb 6:13.)

You realize just how great Melchizedek is when you see that Father Abraham gave Him a tenth of the captured treasure. Priests descended from Levi are commanded by law to collect tithes from the people, even

"being a high priest after the order of Melchizedek," and it is believed that part of his mission was to re-establish the planetary Priesthood of Melchizedek on earth. From their teachings and example have sprung all the earth's great spiritual traditions, mystery

humanity, and is what the Melchizedek Consciousness as his legacy is called, continues to offer us today. He is referred to as an eternal, cosmic Lord of Light, and being eternal he has existed in the higher realms long before humanity was created

Let's start with what Melchizedek is not. He is not an angel or even an archangel. He is not the founder of a religion or -ism. He is not an Ascended Master. He is not anyone's guide or guru. He is not nor

(228) This is to say, that Melchizedek was a "similitude", a "likeness or form" of what Jesus Christ Himself would be when He became incarnate. He manifested Himself to Abraham in this similitude of what He would one day be. (204) Abraham recognized this greatness

(239) The Melchizedek Priesthood is revealed before the Law, and confirmed with the oath since the Law. Comment: First, on page 233 Conner changes the sequence of events and says that “God gave this oath to his own son” “in the counsels of

Abraham, and the fact of Melchizedek meeting him at this time had its significance; for the central Dispensation of the Son was about to begin. Comment: Conner teaches that Abraham’s meeting with Melchizedek “had its significance” because it closed the period of patriarch/pilgrim-priest kings

According to Conner Melchizedek accepted the tithes they procured at the risk of their lives but he did not feed them! Is that how godly people are supposed to act? -much less the pre-incarnate Christ! Such would ruin Conner’s forced reading-backwards connection with

admitting that the historical Melchizedek was not Christ! The “better hope” came by Jesus Christ. …………………………………………………….. Heb 7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:

Also, if the historical Melchizedek were already in place and already offering perfect sacrifices and giving “once for all time” atonement, then God would have not have needed to institute the Aaronic priesthood. Since Conner denies the former, then he also denies that

because he realized that the historical Melchizedek was Jesus in Genesis 14. God’s Word does not say God revealed such to him. Actually this is a strong argument AGAINST the historical Melchizedek being Christ simply because nothing is said or even implied in Genesis

Comment: Abraham paying tithes to Melchizedek was not a “prophecy” that “tithes belong to the priesthood.” Instead it was the normal expected routine among pagans in Abraham’s time and actually preceded Abraham’s tithe.

Comment: Conner insists that Melchizedek of Genesis 14 was only a temporary theophany who quickly dematerialized along with his completely unneeded spoils of war. And he also insists that an active priest MUST have a sanctuary and MUST offer sacrifices. Yet he denies

Comment: Not a proof that the historical Melchizedek was Jesus. Irrelevant! Not said of either the historical or the prophetic Melchizedek. 39. (Ps 110:4) King-priest revealed to Abraham the father of all who believe at Covenant time and revealed to David under the Aaronic

Comment: The fact that Melchizedek is called a “king” in Genesis 14:18 does not constitute a proof that the historical Melchizedek was Jesus Christ. This comparison could be made to every king who ever claimed the title of “king.” ……………………………………………..

Comment: The purpose of Hebrews is to demonstrate that Melchizedek was “greater” (as was Pharaoh and Abimelech). The purpose is not to prove that he was “spiritually” greater (because he was the pre-incarnate Christ). We would not dare claim that Pharaoh and Abimelech were

conclude that the historical Melchizedek of Genesis 14 was not Jesus and that the prophetic Melchizedek of Psalm 110:4 was the typical Jesus. Again the word is “like” instead of “being the son of God.” The NAS

Counterpoint: Again the historical Melchizedek was only the king of peace “by interpreting his name.” And, again, a typical Canaanite of 2000 BC would identify Salem as a female consort of ZDK (Jupiter) and a goddess of the morning. Conner’s

Counterpoint: If the historical Melchizedek was Jesus and was an intercessor and if he “ever lives to make intercession,” then Conner should allow for Melchizedek in Genesis 14 to be an active priest. His “proof” cannot possibly refer to a literal Melchizedek of 2000 BC whom

Counterpoint: If the historical Melchizedek were Jesus then his priesthood while on earth would have brought perfection. Conner rejects the idea that the historical Melchizedek was a man. To him Melchizedek’s Jerusalem was only the one in heaven and his Temple

everything else Melchizedek did was spiritual. That does not make sense. Conner teaches that the order of Melchizedek reaches from Genesis 14 to Jesus. Yet God’s Word says that the Aaronic priesthood was

His Deity! Melchizedek was a temporary, pre-cross manifestation and revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ before His incarnation. This is why it is said He was "without..." any of these things. The language of this verse excludes all others.

historical Melchizedek was Jesus Christ. It is fact that tithing did not originate with Abraham in Genesis. Tithing was a common practice over most of the pagan world. And it is highly likely that Abraham was

historical Melchizedek “was” the “king of righteousness”! He was only such “by interpreting” his name. That is plain language and not implied! The fact that one’s name means something very holy does not confer such character on the person named

History and archaeology reveal that Melchizedek’s temple was vacated very soon after the events of Genesis 14 when the Jebusites used the hill due east of it for their capital city for over 1000 years. Therefore whoever Melchizedek was in Genesis 14, he did not remain a

If the fact that Melchizedek received tithes from Abraham makes him Jesus, then that same logic should also apply to everybody else in God’s Word and even today who receive tithes. Conner’s proof is bogus. ……………………………….

If this is such a strong proof that Melchizedek is Christ, then why does not the writer of Hebrews use it? Why does not Jesus or Paul make a reference to Melchizedek when explaining the meaning of communion?

is not dependent on the fact that the historical Melchizedek had no recorded genealogy. This conclusion is far too important to base on an argument from implication or silence. David is to be heard loud and clear.

Melchizedek at all, but he has thus far been discussing the “typical” Melchizedek who is Jesus Christ. The “one” of whom “these things are spoken of” is neither the historical Melchizedek, nor Aaron. He is a member of the tribe of Judah (shock). Were the Jewish-Christians

Melchizedek in Genesis 14 was really only a common Gentile king-priest like many others of 2000 BC. This may shock many conservative Christians. Do your own research at your public library on this. While

Melchizedek is greater than Jesus Christ in King-Priest and that Jesus Christ is less than Melchizedek being made after another order of priesthood. Comment: Conner’s conclusion is based on his own faulty logic. He

Melchizedek is King-Priest in the one Person. Comment: Again this is only one of two possible interpretations of the identity of El Elyon, God (god?) Most High. See discussion on Hebrews 7:1 following. (189

Melchizedek is most significant. Because the table was associated with the priesthood. Only the priests could partake of it. Comment: Actually it was so in-significant that it was not even

Melchizedek is Priest of the Most High GOD (EL), and "EL" is the singular of EL-ohim, whereas EL-ohim is the plural Hebrew word for the Godhead as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as revealed in the Old Testament.

Melchizedek received tithes as the “mediating” High Priest. That creates un-resolvable problems. (205) The tenth or tithes, the firstfruits of the spoils, the best, is always given to God.

Melchizedek was a pre-incarnate theophany of Jesus Christ. However such a “revelation” would not have contributed to solving the problem addressed by the Epistle to the Hebrews. Most Bible scholars conclude that the “things hard to say” is that

Melchizedek was actually Jesus in order to accomplish that goal. (189.4) (Genesis 14:1-17) Earth, symbolized by the number four, as over against grace, symbolized by the number five! Comment: Conner uses mystical numbers wherever possible. However this

Melchizedek was Jesus because none of these words are used in Genesis 14:18-20 (or even Psalm 110:4). They are New Covenant post-Calvary revelation and not Old Covenant prophecy. ………………………..……….

Melchizedek was Jesus Christ. Although the pagans did not realize it, the “true” Most High God was indeed Yahweh. Study the following two verses very carefully. Excluding Balaam’s remark, they are the NEXT time that El Elyon appears in Scripture since Genesis 14

Melchizedek was the tenth king mentioned in Genesis 14; the tenth of the tithe is holy. Therefore Conner uses the number ten (10) to validate both the importance of Melchizedek and the tithe.

Melchizedek was when Abraham met him in Genesis 14. Abraham might have been older than him! For most, Jesus’ statement in John 8:56-58, “Before Abraham was, I am” proves that Jesus existed BEFORE the historical Melchizedek and cannot

Melchizedek was without these things! This is the "meat" of the Melchizedek priesthood upon which to chew! Comment: Points #13 through #16 are actually one argument instead of four. If understood literally these are probably the strongest

Melchizedek who came from the CITY of PEACE, heavenly Jerusalem? Comment: Conner will not accept that Melchizedek actually lived in a literal city with a literal temple on earth. Scripture does not teach

Melchizedek, the only priesthood that their father Abraham had relation to. Comment: This makes no sense in light of the fact that Abraham was also a priest who built his own altars and offered his own sacrifices everywhere he traveled

Nobody denies that the historical Melchizedek was a great man. Was he greater “in rank and political status” than Abraham in Genesis 14? Yes. Was he greater in the overall scheme of God’s covenants with Israel in the Pentateuch? Of course not! Except for the epistle of

Objection: How can Melchizedek be a type of Christ if he was not a relative of Shem or Abraham and was a Canaanite? Answer: Again, only his political-religious office, “order” or “arrangement” was a type of Christ because he was the first king-priest named in the Bible

order of Melchizedek is to set aside the entire Mosaic Law which differentiated between Hebrews and Gentiles (7:18). The facts do not even permit consideration that the historical Melchizedek might have been a descendant of Shem.

probably happened was that either Melchizedek or David or both took one of the city’s “pagan” names as “temple of Salim” dedicated to Jupiter’s consort goddess and CHANGED the meaning of it to refer to the Hebrew word for “peace.” One simply cannot deny that the Jebusites

recognized … that Melchizedek was greater than he was.” Why did he not “recognize” him as Melchizedek in Genesis 18:1? If it were the same theophany then Abraham should have recognized him when he appeared to him the second time.

Since the Melchizedek concept of tithing as seen in Genesis 14 is far inferior to that of the Aaronic priesthood, it is very difficult to understand how Conner can justify keeping and transferring tithing from the Aaronic order to that of the historical Melchizedek. Actually

Solomon had thought that Melchizedek was a true worshipper of the true Yahweh, then why did they not build Solomon’s Temple on the site of his temple? And why did Abraham offer Isaac up at Mount Moriah in the

suggest that Melchizedek was also pagan. And even worse for Conner, from his own argument that the patriarchs from Adam to Abraham were also priest-kings, then that would actually make Abraham the tenth king named in Genesis 14 and not Melchizedek! Again, Abraham was

temple where Melchizedek functioned as a priest-king is unnecessary. And the suggested friendship between Melchizedek and the king of Sodom never happened at all. One would expect Abraham, his 318 men and the king of Sodom to be amazed that Melchizedek appeared out of nowhere

that BOTH are true: “The Melchizedek Priesthood is revealed before the Law, and confirmed with the oath since the Law.” Yet there is absolutely nothing in the Word of God which says that “the Melchizedek priesthood was revealed before the Law.” Conner is forced to state

that Jesus’ typical Melchizedek priesthood has replaced the Aaronic priesthood and there is no need for any future priesthood. Nothing is said or even implied about events prior to the Aaronic priesthood such as Melchizedek. ……………………………………………………….

that Paul proves that Melchizedek is none other than the eternal Son of God Himself.” Comment: Kevin J. Conner is a very intelligent man. Most of what he says in this book is good theology and I commend him for it. However

The historical Melchizedek from Genesis 14 was not from Judah but he was a “type” of someone from Judah. And the messianic Melchizedek from Psalm 110 was not from Judah but he was also a “type” of someone from Judah

the historical Melchizedek was Jesus Christ as claimed by Conner. Ordinary Christians bless people every day. We even dare bless people in God’s name. But that does not make us equal to Melchizedek or even

the historical Melchizedek was only typical. This proves that Conner’s portrayal of Melchizedek did not function as a priest. Therefore, if his argument is correct (that Melchizedek did not function as a priest) then his argument is wrong (he cannot say he was a priest)

The historical Melchizedek’s kingdom was a city-state. The name “Jerusalem” was very ancient and comes from two words meaning “temple of Salim.” The historical Melchizedek probably named his city after the concubine-goddess of Jupiter.

the king of Sodom, as Melchizedek’s friend, met Abraham first and escorted him towards the city. Conner wants to obscure the strong possibility that the historical Melchizedek was nothing more than a pagan Canaanite king himself. Conner ignores the chronology of the

The text does not say that Melchizedek was the “only” priest of El Elyon and Canaanite theology indicates otherwise. If Melchizedek were indeed a true priest of Yahweh, then it is very odd that he did not identify himself as priest of Yahweh El Elyon in Genesis 14:19.

Therefore the historical Melchizedek was not “the” Son of God, but was “made LIKE the Son of God.” His name, title, and lack of genealogy only make him into a type of Christ—not his person! Christ is “after the order of,” “like” (v

They teach that Melchizedek of Genesis 14:18-20 was a literal man and a type of Christ and that Melchizedek of Psalm 110:4 is a Messianic and prophetic type of Christ. The writer of Hebrews used both of these as types of Jesus Christ in Hebrews 5, 6 and 7
