35 years ago in prayer I was taken into the light for eternity held in truth and unimaginable love and ecstasy and God who is the light (Jesus) made himself like a man in front of me and said to me " I can be in the world at any time " this is the first time I'm conscious of ever hearing the word Christophany, it's not that I needed it confirming but still it's wonderful to hear. May our God Jesus be praised and blessed for ever
@synthlord6575 he's lying, and Blessed are those who believe and don't see. Also you don't put "effort" into prayer. Prayer is just talking to God. It's sinple and easy. Just talk to Him
Seems very few "Christians, Protestants" or other denominations understand the lineage, authority and identity of Melchizedek. If they were listening to a modern prophet, and to modern revelation, the answers would be simple and profound in the same moment. Melchizedek was the primary person in that time, with God's authorization, to preside over the faithful children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Noah!! Melchizedek was authorized by someone not identified in the Bible, but in the same manner as Jesus Christ authorized His own apostles!!
This guy is Amazing. The way he works through these Biblical realities. Really enjoyed his time on the Genesis 6 verses. The Nephilim. And let me thank Southern Seminary for sharing Honest Answers with Dr. Gentry.
Thank you southern seminary for these videos. Really enjoy listening to them and thank you professors for taking the time to help make them. Simple understandable explanations but with the knowledge and research behind them.

Interesting about the Canaan devolution of their concept of God. Seeing that today with those who worship Nature and the Earth instead of the Lord God who created them.
I love his delivery and his clear concise way of explaining what he as a scholar understands to be an accurate interpretation of the scriptures. I also listen to Dr. Michael Heiser, who disagrees with him on certain small points, but generally they agree overall. What I do appreciate is this channel. Putting out this kind of content gets Christians THINKING and DIGGING into the Bible, seeking answers. For too long Christians have ignored the old testament, as though it were NOT relevant to our faith. Jesus was a Jew, ALL of the disciples were Jews. Most of the new converts were Jews. They KNEW their history, their sacred writings. They celebrated the feasts and the holy days. Most of what is said by them is ONLY understood correctly through the lens of Jewish writings and traditions. That is where the richness of the Gospel lay.
Right! There's no way to understand The New Testament without The Old Testament. The Old Testament points to Christ and the prophecies in it prove Christ.
You have shared a lot of interesting information. Melchizedek is an interesting figure. Most of all, I appreciate your dialog which gives me something to ponder and to study. I don’t always agree with your conclusions, but I enjoy being challenged to review what I do and do not believe, and why I believe it.
I agree this man's dialogue is worthy of listening to.. one thing I don't understand is in his interpretation of the book of Enoch of the nephilim why hasn't Lilith been mentioned???

Dr. Gentry, please teach online classes as well. I know it isnt as good as classroom instruction, but some of us study at Southern online because we read you before we came.
The most amazing purpose of Melchizedeck being a higher King than the line of David, higher Priest than the line of Levites, higher Prophet than the line of Moses and Aaron... then Jesus being in that Order, opens a way for both Jews and Gentiles to have no condemnation from the law of sin and death. Melchizedek's Order provides a way for every human to be set free to be back in communion with God...similar to Adam and Eve's walk with God in the Garden.
Lol.. he is shem.. melchesdek is shem.. Noah's son who was both king and priest or adonadesek .. all the way up to jacob one person was king and priest for tmh and then it was split between judah and Levi and the high priest being in Damascus.. John the Baptist wasnt a regular levite and shem is melchesdek .. apttmh..abraham gave shem a 10th for teaching him how to worship tmh correctly and recieved power to take the kings down.. Abraham's father was terah and idolater who made idols and could not teach shem how to worship God because he was an idolater and didn't worship the God of Noah and shem.. so he went to his elder shem.. everyone went to shem to learn things at one time..

Melchizedek was Jesus. It was Abraham who told us this, when he met him and gave to him his tithe. He told us by referring to a title ONLY Jesus holds. Jesus was King (Top Most Leader) and High Priest (Top Most Teacher) of Salem. Jesus had to walk the walk showing he can be Both for that is his future when Father gives to him his Church as his bride to be. Jesus transferred the Laws of Leviticus to his Priesthood by the name of Melchizedek. This kept the Laws of Leviticus active upon mankind and still to this day they are. Also, it is The Priesthood of Melchizedek one searches after and not the name of Jesus when finding Father's True Church from the 100,000's of Satan's false Churches and their congregations to them all. *Father's Church will be following the Priesthood of Melchizedek. This is one of the keys to Father's Church that defines Truth from False.

Melchizedek at the same time that Abram defeated the five Kingdoms while rescuing Lot with only 318 men came back to bring one tenth of the spoils to Melchizedek who met Abram with wine and bread.This man was Shem, the second son of Noah. Shem was the only High King and High Priest of Salem at that time. Melchizedek is a title of priesthood that had no beginning and has no end. Adam was also a Melchizedek because GOD BLESSED him and gave him dominion over all HE created.✝️🙏
Here is the scriptural truth of the matter. Word for word from my Hebrew Bible; - And Malka Zadika, who was Shem bar Noah, the king of Yerushalem, came forth to meet Abram, and brought forth to him bread and wine; and in that time he ministered before Eloha Ilaha. - Melchi = king Zedek = high priest Melchi + Zedek = king and high priest simultaneously, Shem was both king and high priest originating the order of MelchiZedek and he is the only king/high priest (MelchiZedek) until the Messiah who follows Shem in this priesthood as he is the only other to be both king and high priest of simultaneously Israel and he will remain MelchiZedek forever because he is now immortal since his resurrection from the dead. .
@@johnbagwell9525 : It’s fraudulent. The Second Book of Enoch is not a part of Bible in either Jewish or Christian tradition; instead, it belongs to the vast body of Jewish literature that is related to the books in the sacred canon. More, it was not written by the Enoch we know from Genesis 5. The text we have today was probably composed in Greek by a Jewish writer (possibly in the first or second centuries CE), but the text survived mostly in Slavonic language translation. Despite this, the text of 2 Enoch is full of Hebraisms and Jewish legends that people would have known in the days of Jesus. .
Thank you very much for this enlightenment. I wanted yo name my second son Melchizedek after my first son, Gideon. Unfortunately I never had a second son, yet I give praise to God. Amen Amen Amen.

The Melchizedek study is interesting. If we are in the spiritual priesthood to Melchizedek (with Christ as the high priest) and Ambraham tithed to Melchizedek, then why do Christian's tithe? Perhaps we've been mis-taught or worse, scammed? My video on this topic launches tomorrow. (hint, I think we are being scammed by greedy people in the church)
@@seank3620 shem didn't have a levite father or a levite mother.. in order to be a priest under levi or Aaron's sons which were high priest.. both your mother and father had to be levites.. shem was before all that.. he was the king and priest for tmh in the earth for tmh after Noah passed it to him.. melchesdek is a order not a person.. after Jacob had 12 sons the kingship and priest hood was split.. christ would have to bring back that order because christ came from judah which is kings but he came to do priest work.. sacrifice.. only priest could sacrifice or melchesdeks who were both king and priest.. christ would have to follow under what shem was dealing with and not the 12 tribes.. shem taught abraham how to plug in with the father God because abraham's father was terah a idolater and could never teach abraham so he went to see shem to learn what noah had taught and passed down to shem..
I've never heard of anybody saying Melchizedek was Christ himself. He's always been presented as a type of Christ in most denominations, as David and the author of Hebrews suggest. I do not see the confusion in what the former authors say about Melchizedek.
NET Bible note: Salem is traditionally identified as the Jebusite stronghold of old Jerusalem. Accordingly, there has been much speculation about its king. Though some have identified him with the preincarnate Christ or with Noah’s son Shem, it is far more likely that Melchizedek was a Canaanite royal priest whom God used to renew the promise of the blessing to Abram, perhaps because Abram considered Melchizedek his spiritual superior. But Melchizedek remains an enigma. In a book filled with genealogical records he appears on the scene without a genealogy and then disappears from the narrative. In Ps 110 the Lord declares that the Davidic king is a royal priest after the pattern of Melchizedek. It is his royal priestly status that makes Melchizedek a type of Christ: He was identified with Jerusalem, superior to the ancestor of Israel, and both a king and a priest. Unlike the normal Canaanites, this man served “God Most High” (אֵל עֶלְיוֹן, ʾel ʿelyon)-one sovereign God, who was the creator of all the universe. Abram had in him a spiritual brother.
Most likely doesn't cut it with scripture. If you don't know don't guess. The truths of the Bible can't be learnt Bible mere scholastic training. Literally everyone in the Bible with that approach had to forget all they learned. And start over with God the spirit teaching them. Paul being the main. One of the secrets in plain sight of the Bible. Is that he rearley use highly educated people to reveal scripture. Most times it's some poorly educated person. And this is by design. The educated man has a tendency to try and figure it out himself making a mess. While the poorly educated knows he must wait till the spirit reveals it to him. The Bible is a book of parrables, stories, histories and symbols. You can't understand it by just using reading be ability. Jesus talked in parables to the multitudes ALL THE TIME. The deciples got fed up and asked him why he does that. The answer he gave is " because it is not for them to understand. But for you to understand. Then he explained the parable to them. Proving you will never really understand unless God tells it to you. Not approaching it like a thesis for class that will just make you a scribe or a Pharisee. Able to quote but not understand.
@@shaneking1219 this response makes so much sense to me. Not that there is anything wrong with educated people, but a LOT of so called highly educated people think they understand and know everything about Jesus or the bible just because they read it.

Whenever the bible speaks of LORD think of this: In the Northwest Semitic languages-Ugaritic, Phoenician, Hebrew, Amorite, and Aramaic-the word baʿal signified "owner" and, by extension, "lord", a "master", or "husband". Cognates include the Akkadian Bēlu (𒂗),[c] Amharic bal (ባል), and Arabic baʿl (بَعْل). Báʿal (בַּעַל) and baʿl still serve as the words for "husband" in modern Hebrew and Arabic respectively. They also appear in some contexts concerning the ownership of things or possession of traits. The Baʿal of Ugarit was the epithet of Hadad but as the time passed, the epithet became the god's name while Hadad became the epithet. Baʿal appears as one of the sons of El in Ugaritic sources. Both Baʿal and El were associated with the bull in Ugaritic texts, as it symbolized both strength and fertility. Canaanites, including hebrews used to sacrifice their first borns to El through Ba'al which is why the OT prophets had been spoken out harshly against the rite. As a motif the sacrifice of christ is an analogy of this rite combined with the OT prohibition of sacrificing first borns.

@@theofficialfedup From what scripture says, the Melchizedek Order, under which Christ is, is different from the Levitical Order. The key differences being that Melchizedek priests, must, of necessity differ from the Aaronic/Levitical preisthood in some way. The Aaronic priesthood had High priests who were not Kings and would die and their descendants take their place...unlike the Melchizedekean one...my 2 cents.
Thank you for the very interesting information. I was taught Melchizedek is a form of priesthood, people who go down into the crisis from within and raise it up, like Green Berets. Angels, on the other hand, help solve crises from outside the crisis. Jesus of Nazareth is of the order of Melchizedek.
It is an order of priesthood. Word for word from my Hebrew Bible; - And Malka Zadika, who was Shem bar Noah, the king of Yerushalem, came forth to meet Abram, and brought forth to him bread and wine; and in that time he ministered before Eloha Ilaha. - Melchi = king Zedek = high priest Melchi + Zedek = king and high priest simultaneously, Shem was both king and high priest originating the order of MelchiZedek and he is the only king/high priest (MelchiZedek) until the Messiah who follows Shem in this priesthood as he is the only other to be both king and high priest of Israel and he will remain MelchiZedek forever because he is now immortal since his resurrection from the dead. .
@@ATinyPillow Interesting idea, so basically you conclude that Melchizedek is a person in flesh and blood, not some kind of divine representation, which is in line with what Prof. Gentry conclusion. Now I wonder if they call him the King of Salem, does that suggest he was a king of Jerusalem once in time?
@@jojoanggono3229 : Yes, Shem was in fact the 1st king of jeruSalem. Scripture says that God preserved the priesthood through the flood. Since only Noah, his wife and Noah’s 3 sons and their wives, were saved on the ark - Noah being the family patriarch would have been the priest that God preserved through the flood. It can be no other way given the 8 people who were saved on the ark. Therefore, when Noah passes, the priesthood goes to his eldest son who would be Shem. Therefore Shem would have been priest and 1st king of jeruSalem simultaneously in Abraham’s time, and to no surprise the word “MelchiZedek” literally breaks down as “Melchi” meaning king + “Zedek” meaning priest. The dictionary definition essentially says the same adding that MelchiZedek was the Old Testament priest-king who met Abraham, feel free to check it out for yourself. Since Shem is the only priest-king of jeruSalem in Old Testament history, the only possible choice has to be Shem. Our Messiah is the only other priest-king so he is therefore after the MelchiZedek priest-king priesthood initially established by Shem and since our messiah is now immortal, he is MelchiZedek priest-king forever because he cannot die just like it says in the book of Hebrews. It doesn’t hurt that it literally says Shem is MelchiZedek in my Hebrew Bible as you may have read in my earlier comment. Have a nice evening. .
The point of Jesus referring to Melchizedek was to prove there is a greater priesthood and a non lineage one (Jesus has a greater priesthood and wasn’t through the lineage of Aaron).
I love Melchizedek, because I know God loves him, and he plays a great role in the kingdom of God, and God is very pleased with him and that's all that matters. God bless

The way Jesus applied Melchizedek was to himself since the question was asked in the New Testament who the people thought that the Messiah was. The answer given by the religious teachers was the son of David and then Jesus quoted Psalm 110:1-4, the Lord said to my Lord meaning that King David was referring the Melchizedek of verse 4 as being his Lord meaning that he existed prior to the Incarnation. Fact is that this particular Psalm 110:1-4 is inextricably linked to Hebrews 7:1-3 and in Psalm 110: 1-4 verse 4 is revealed as the Heavenly Melchizedek which had nothing to do with an earthly Canaanite King. Factor into the account that Dead Sea Scroll Document 11Q13 reveals that the ancients believed that Melchizedek was Elohim and would as High Priest of God conduct the Day of Atonement on behalf of God's people on the 10th Jubilee which would have been fulfilled at the time of Christ's baptism in 27 AD.
I believe M-T is a precursor to Ha'Mashiach bc in Genesis is says he is priest of El Elyon. Ha'Mashiach is High Priest. H'M is the Son of Elohiym. Where does Yah say M-T is the Son? Also M-T is not salvation. He did not cause the veil to be ripped nor was he he resurrected. And the Bible continuously say ORDER of M'T. My question to ppl who believe M-T is H'M is...So H'M is going to order after himself?

I love your mentioning that salem is connected to Jerusalem 1:56. I have thought about the possible connection of Salem and Jerusalem. I would love to see a presentation where the connections is described in detail.
In my studies I found That Melchizedek means patriarch king . In the time of Abraham the eldest male person in a family was the priest of that family . He would be the eldest patriarch of that family . So after the flood in Noah’s day , Noah lived another 300 years are after the flood . He was a preacher of righteousness and his ministry lasted until his death . Then his son Shem became the preacher or priest of righteousness . Abraham was a direct descendant of Shem not of Cannon . Shem was the eldest patriarch of the family of Abraham . Shem lived 500 years after the flood . That made him Abraham’s priest . Actually Shem outlived Abraham I’ve 30 years . Jacob was about 50 years old when Shem died . It’s my understanding that Shem was Melchizedek by studying the Bible and doing the math . Then I read the book of Jesher and it said that Shem was Melchizedek . What the writer of Hebrews was trying to say is that Melchizedek was not of the linage of Aaron the high priest during The time Moses was given the law . He was alive some 500 years before the Levitical priesthood started . So he was out of order to be the Levitical High Priest . To be high priest he had to be a direct descendant of Aaron . Jesus in like manner was a Jew and not a descendant of Aaron the high priest . But he became our high priest and king . Jesus was “ begotten “ of Mary and never preexisted as a man before he was begotten. Begotten means to come into being . But as God , which was the Holy Spirit he always existed .
Man!!! Did you copy me??? Just posted my comment before reading yours, really. Truly I had earlier plotted a time graph of the live time of these patriarchs after reading the old testament and Jews Antiquities by Josephus. To my amazement, I discovered that Issac the son of Abraham met Shem and Eber , the great grand Father of Abraham, also Esau and Jacob met Shem also. Isaac was,. In reading the Book of Jasher, long time after that discovery, I also noticed that Abraham was sent to Shem to be trained by Shem by his father Terah, same Abraham sent Isaac to be trained, same Isaac sent his sons Esau and Jacob to be trained in the same place but Esau refused to go but Jacob went.
Yes I agree with you and also have learned some good pieces of information thanks to you. I dont think it is a right assesment to say that Jesus was made flesh in Genesis in the form of Melchizedek. One reason being that He was already working actively in spirit form as "The Angel of the LORD". Going a bit off the rail, I think Moses could have actually been of that kind of king/priest line if he hadn't been so avoiding of his calling. Exodus 4:10-16
that would be incorrect because we know their genealogy, and Hebrews 7 states that he has no descent. And also, the man Abraham payed tithes to was a king and a priest as well
Kenim , I’ve been a Bible student for 50 years and I’ve had in-depth Bible studies in all those years . What we have to do is get away from all the traditions of men and go back to the King James Version of the Bible to get the true meaning of Gods word . KJV is still the most accurate version of the Bible . Read the prophesies of who Jesus is like Isaiah 9:6 . It says the child born ( Jesus ) would be the Mighty God , the Everlasting Father . In translation from Hebrew to English the word Saviour was was translated Jesus . Isaiah 12:2 says “ Behold , God is my salvation; I will trust , and not be afraid : for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song ; he also is become my salvation . Jesus name meant Jehovah has become our salvation . It’s written over 300 times in the Bible “ the Lord our God is one Lord “ . Deuteronomy 6:4 says “ Heat O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord “ . So the point I’m trying to make is that the God of creation became the Son of redemption. The Bible never taught a trinity of persons or Gods . When Philip said “ Lord , shew is the Father “ in John 14:8 , in verse 9 “ Jesus saith unto him , Have I been so long time with you , and yet hast thou not known me , Philip ? Th that hath seen me hath seen the Father ; and how sayers thou then Shew us the Father “ . Jesus calmed to be the Father in that scripture. There’s so many scriptures that prove that Jesus is the Father “”. Read Revelation 1:8 Jesus calmed to be the Almighty . Matthew 1:23 says “ Behold , a Virgin shall be with child , and shall bring forth a son , and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is , God with us “ . In John 4:24 Jesus said “ God is a Spirit ant they that worship him must worship him is Spirit and truth “. It says God is “ A “ Spirit . That means one Spirit and that’s the Holy Spirit . That Holy Spirit is the Father or the Father of creation . As Spirit God didn’t have a body or form as we know of . A Spirit is invisible and can’t be seen . So the Holy Ghost overshadowed Mary and she conceived of the Holy Ghost . That makes the Holy Ghost the Father of Jesus . That’s how the God of creation became the man Christ Jesus . 1TIMOTHY 3:16 says “ And without controversy, Great is the mystery of Godliness . God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit , seen of angels , preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory “. God was manifest in the flesh. Manifest means to be shown as . God was shown as flesh . Kenim I haven’t even scratched the service on the scriptures that proves Jesus is God but there’s enough in this little Bible study to get you started . Have a blessed day my friend!!!
Yes Melchizidek was a real person. Some say he could have been Shem, one of the eight believers who stepped off of the ark. He was a king-priest. He did not require certain parents like the Levitical priests. Jesus Christ being from the tribe of Judah is also a king-priest.
Abraham understood offerings and tithes. Hopefully, so do we. In this carnal age of fake christianity we see scams throughout so called churches with fake names such as saint this and the church of that? the book of revelation makes it clear that churches are named by location. The universal Church is all the believers. Tithes are offered to God. Abraham had direct contact with God. To suggest that Melchizedek was not Christ is the result of reading scripture with your mind instead of your spirit. There are many things biblically that are not of this world. Some Heavenly things are given earthly metaphors so we can visualise the application and context of meaning. Christ is the ladder in Jacobs dream. The angels were descending and ascending upon the ladder. Christ is the only way to God the father. The scripture does not give us an anointing or appointment of Melchizedek. His is without genealogy, without mother or father. Thereof he is eternal. Unless the scriptures are false? God is eternal. Through receiving Christ through faith in him? We receive Christs life giving spirit and are made eternal with him. What confirms that this is christ is that The Greater blesses the lesser. As Abraham did to Pharaoh. If Melchizedek was such a prominent figure we would see and hear more from him? We do. Because he is christ he is in evrry word of the bible. Its just that some want to impress with their knowledge. That would be eating from the tree of knowledge. Should we read the scripture with spirit? God the father will reveal Christ to us. Even though this man is a refined speaker and has grey hair from age? he has not seen Christ in this instance. Knowledge is not wisdom. And only the father reveals Christ. Consider that the disciples did not understand until Christ breathed the holy spirit into them. So too for this man whom speaks after eating from the tree of knowledge. I pray that he opens his heart to have our heavenly father place his will, his heart and mind into this mans life. Dr gentry is not saved.
I am glad to know more about the man for whom the Melchizedek Priesthood is named. This is the same Priesthood authority which has been restored to the earth and which I and many other Latter-Day Saints are commanded to use to serve the only true God and our fellow man. And the authority to bless and serve others with the authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood is not limited to men. All have a role in gathering Israel prior to the return of our Savior Jesus Christ.❤
The LDS have been so massively misled by false doctrine, fake teachings, lies, and rewrites of Gods word that this story has been so utterly misunderstood that it forms the basis of something it never was in your religion.
Sorry brother but the only one in the manner of Melchizedek is Jesus Christ. No man is also in this same priesthood. He is the high priest for mankind. We’re all kings and priests in a sense, but the priesthood simply denotes one’s that reveal and represent God on earth to others. In the OT the nation of Israel were a kingdom of priests in the sense that they represented the one God to the surrounding nations. Christians today are priests in that we represent God to men through Jesus, and he is image of his Father.
Wow this is awesome! I’ve been studying in Hebrews and I finally got to the point and was like man I need to know more background on this order of Melchizedek haha. Thank you!
@I C it's funny how you started your comment with I don't know the Holy scriptures and then went off the Holy scriptures to start talking about pseudoscience 😂 And you say you're a scholar of the scriptures but you don't know why man's age was reduced to 120yrs and your best answer was to look outside of the scriptures to science book.. If you can obviously reject the creation account of Genesis and would rather side with NASA then I don't think your knowledge of the holy scriptures can be trusted fr and that also will cast doubts about the info you're providing and Abraham didn't treat the high priest like his great great grandfather either neither did the priest treat Abraham like his son
I C you’re the false person here trying to bring the word of God and the words of men into alignment when the Bible says let God be true and every man a liar.. The earth has not moved away from the sun neither has the sun transgress it’s orbits from the beginning except for when God stopped the sun and moon and moved the sun backwards.. The earth is not a ball spinning in space with other balls spinning too.. You’re trying to use a lie to justify the Word of God, God doesn’t work with lies.. You *might* be right about Shem being Melchizedek but we don’t know for sure but every other thing you said is false..
I C I don’t need your co-sign because you’re not my Savior.. you can call me whatever name your lying Spirit tells you to call me, I ain’t fazed by it.. I stand on the Word of my Father and you stand on the word of your father.. we are not even speaking the same language, you don’t even have the eyes to see the truth neither has your heart been enlightened, you study and study but never coming to the knowledge of the truth because it’s not given to you to see and understand these things.. I got the whole Bible as my proof of a stationary earth, my Father never told me about no planets or the earth rotating or spinning in space with the stars millions of miles away in another galaxies , those are the words of your father and it’s only right that you believe him.. The world my Father created has a stationary earth with heavens above it and the sun, moon and stars are in the heaven rotating above the stationary earth.. You pick just one verse from the entire Bible to justify your lie and what baffles me is that I have never met someone who read the book of Enoch and say the earth is a ball 😂, you must be another type of blind, you don’t even have to be spiritual to see that in the book of Enoch and the fact you didn’t see it is totally beyond me 😂😂.. just making sure that anyone who stumbles on your comment will know you’re a liar and not to be taken serious, you deceive yourself but I won’t allow you deceive others into your blindness and idolatry

Native monotheism is by far the most interesting thing I have learned of in the past several years. Even the Chinese have a singular God, known as Shangdi who was worshipped in Ancient Chinese culture.
congratulations.....I believe you are spot on with your analysis. The offering of Bread and Wine however should not be forgotten as it clearly pre dates the Mosaic covenant and foreshadows the climax of the messianic Journey of Jesus Christ the Eternal Son of the Most High God.
@@allpraisestothemosthigh4671 what are you talking about ??? Jesus Christ the Eternal Son of God does not Enter time and space until the time of the New Testament/New Covenant, However psalm 2 v 7 when fully understood ONLY POINTS TO JESUS, The Eternal Son of the most high God. Psalm 2 is traditionally accepted as being a messianic Psalm.
GMS7 Once again, you are talking rubbish because there is no where in the Bible where the Creator calls Jesus his son. He called Israel his son(first born) and David was called my son as well. But nothing about Jesus and I am suppose to take your word for it?!? GTFOH!!!
@@allpraisestothemosthigh4671 why are you looking for an argument ?....you clearly have not grasped basic biblical principals. Please try and further educate yourself from a spiritual perspective before "contributing" on a public forum... anyone can read the bible. fewer understand what they are reading. evidently you fall in the latter category.
GMS7 I see. So I lack the spirit to understand the Bible. Why was this not given to the Old Testament prophets? How come Abraham, Isaac and Jacob didn’t know anything about Jesus? All the calamities Israel went through(even though the Creator calls Israel the apple of his eye)when a savior could’ve helped them, but the Creator insisted on keeping the law. Israel failed to keep the law so they got punished. All of the sudden Jesus showed up during the Roman period(how convenient) and “fulfilled the law. By the way, you keep tapping about nonsense but you haven’t provided one scripture from the Old Testament about Jesus. Not one(all you do is twist and corrupt it to fit your wicked narratives). The Creator doesn’t change. He had an everlasting covenant with Israel....but He changed His mind because Israel couldn’t keep the commandments. Haha, you Christians are funny. All religions for that matter are wicked!!!

The strangest thing is that I do not ever remember reading about him as a child, not once. Then at 48 I am seeing his name everywhere, including randomly getting this in my recommended. I read with my own eyes that he was without mother and father, King of Salem. It was made to sound as if he was omnipotent . Why also have I read that Jesus "will forever be high priest in the order of Malchesidec"? 🤔
Im going to say that maybe his parents died when he was young. He was most likely an only child. Also he didn't have any children of his own and probably didn't have an any siblings. So melchezedek will be a high priest forever because there was no one else to pass the title to. The same thing with jesus. He came into the world in a miraculous way. He had no children of his own. He was the only one qualified to die for us and he did so . So he is a high priest forever.
@@mariajohnson2647you know what's strange, is I never saw this reply until I was listening to this again while searching for information, again.. ? Thanks for the reply.
Melchizedek also had a very important priestly order in which even The supposed Jesus had to go through to be ordained to teach and issue laws. All prophets had to go through the priestly order of Melchizedek.
Lol.. he is shem.. melchesdek is shem.. Noah's son who was both king and priest or adonadesek .. all the way up to jacob one person was king and priest for tmh and then it was split between judah and Levi and the high priest being in Damascus.. John the Baptist wasnt a regular levite and shem is melchesdek .. apttmh..abraham gave shem a 10th for teaching him how to worship tmh correctly and recieved power to take the kings down.. Abraham's father was terah and idolater who made idols and could not teach shem how to worship God because he was an idolater and didn't worship the God of Noah and shem.. so he went to his elder shem.. everyone went to shem to learn things at one time..

Then maybe go to Torah.. but you are definitely off..
No. He was Shem, the righteous son of Noah. Samuel was like him as Samuel was both Prophet and Judge and Priest. This guy is saying that Melchizedek was both King and Prophet as well as Judge and Priest and that's not true as Samuel taught that GOD was Israel's king and remember that GOD wanted Moses to be Prophet / Judge AND High Priest but Moses didn't believe and GOD split the offices and gave the high priest to Aaron and Moses was just Prophet & Judge and Leader. Melchizedek / Shem was the leader by being Prophet / Judge and High Priest and teaching the people that GOD was their King. John 3:16-21.

Thank you for your clarification of Melchizedek. Theological and educational! I have read the brief narrative of Abraham and Melchizedek, but I am conducting a Bible Study course these days and was confused as to whether Melchizedek was a prototype of Jesus or actually Jesus Christ. 🇯🇲🤣😁
Melchi….means King and zedek means just or righteous…..Or Zadok which means the same ….there is only One King of the just and that is none other than Jesus Christ….He is Melchizedek who met Abraham after the slaughter of the kings and gaining back Lot….this is not a model but Christ ….John 8:56-58….before Abraham was I Am ….Abraham rejoiced to see My Day Christ said .
Yashar (Jasher) 16:11 "And Adoni-Tsedeq king of Yerusha-layim, the same is Shem, went out with his men to meet Avram and his people, with bread and wine, and they remained together in the valley of Melek. 16:12 And Adoni-Tsedeq blessed Avram, and Avram gave him a tenth from all that he had brought from the spoil of his enemies, for Adoni-Tsedeq was a priest before ELOHIYM.
In Ethiopian language Melke-Tsadik( Melchizedek) means the face of a holy man. Not fully accurate but close enough. Adoni-tsadiq means holy father(in Amharic/Tigrinya) language spoken in Ethiopia. We still use those titles when addressing priests and saints. I just thought it was interesting what is written In the book of Jasher!!!
Jasher contradicts the Bible, it says Moses smote the Egyptian and fled Egypt at 18, when Exodus said 40. Then had some strange narrative where Moses was king over, I believe it was the Moabites from the time he was 18 till almost 40. Overall, I think Jasher (the version we have now) might have a few true stories, but has been filled with lies. If you read it, notice that it goes on and on about the works of men but says little about God. It has long, long narratives about what Abraham, Moses, or any other of the patriarchs did - but those stories usually don't tie back into giving us a better understanding of who God is. It's just plain history for the vast majority of it
failed to mention that they had communion with the bread and wine and paid a tilth and to mention He was/is an order which an eternal and greater than the Mosaic or Abrahamic orders, With faith, He’s so Christ

God Bless I learned a lot but I don’t think we have enough info about Melchezedik to be 100% sure about your final conclusions. Definitely, there is merit to the simple conservative theories. Could there be something more profound here? I think maybe. Does it change the gospel? Is this something to divide over. Nope. Thanks again!
Melchizedek is not the same person as Yahshua. The reason being, is that they are different priesthoods. When the scriptures say, "You are a priest forever" it is referring to David's son, Yahshua and when it says "after the order of Melchizedek" it is distinguishing these two people as separate. When Yahshua said of Abraham that "he saw my day" he was referring to a vision which he was given of his own time since he uses the word "day" and not "he saw me" but it was of his day and time. So this means, that Abraham seeing Melchizedek did NOT constitute seeing the Christ but that Melchizedek is like an angel of God who lives actually after the order of Christ. Yahshua is the First and the Last and there is no one besides him. Thus, when David had mentioned that Yahshua was a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek he was only relating to it in the only way he could which was that historically Melchizedek came before the Christ, but we know that the Christ has been before the foundation of the world and so we know that Melchizedek is truly a priest forever after the order of Yahshua. This means that the bread and wine that was brought to Abraham was actually a prophetic sacrament bringing Abraham into the fold of the new covenant in Yahshua Christ's blood and that he was the first Christian.

Melchizedek is called King of Salem. Isn’t Salem another word for peace? King/Priest, King of Peace? If we take the Scriptures at their face value Melchizedek can well be a Christophany...
Those were my thoughts as well. The Bible also mentions he has no mother or father, nor genealogy. No beginning or end of days. His name means King of Righteousness and he is also King of Salem/Peace. I strongly would say he is a typology of Christ.
@@TheGospelRenewed No he was a human, possibly Shem, Noahs firstborn. He lived 600 years. He brought out bread and wine, gave it to Abraham, whilst Abraham gave him a 10th of the spoils. He was a typology, meant to prefigure Jesus but was not him. NO GENEALOGY was given at Moses inspiration for Melkizedek, but he like any human had one. Thus he pictured Jesus who was to hold both offices, viz High priest and King for the whole world. No Israelite could serve as King and Priest. Jesus PREHUMAN existence, and the fact that he was given immortality, John 5:26, means Melchizedek was purposely used to prefigure Jesus, who by the way is Gods "firstborn, begotten, and created angel. KJV, ASV, NASV. KJV . ( prototokos, monogenes, arche kitsis tou Oeou-- Firstborn, only begotten, beginning of Gods creation. Col 1:15, John 3:16, Rev 3:14. Salem means peace but apparently later became the site of Jerusalem and may well have got its name from Shem. He had to be a worshiper of God like Noah and his other 2 sons to be used by him although surrounded by Cananites. (Like Lot was).
Making clear Melchizedek was only a MAN is make clear at Heb 7:4, 7:6, and 7:13. if he were any more than a man, now would be the time for Paul to say so.
Ralph Goreham Thank you for your response Mr. Goreham. I would say that Paul did tell us he is more than a human as he stated his priesthood is forever. We see that all other priests except Christ was replaced. You mentioned he is Shem, Noah’s first born. Paul tells us he has no mother or father, no genealogy. No beginning and end of days. What are your thoughts on those points?
@@TheGospelRenewed No you need to look closer. Look at Heb 7: 11 .Melchizedek has no genealogy, Jesus as a man had Aaron as his priestly Genealogy or foundation. In Melchizedeks day their was no priesthood, he appears in the record abruptly and is not mentioned until Psm 110:1,2. But he does nothing else in the rest of the Bible. All he does is typify Jesus as did Moses as a mediator prefiguring Jesus. . Paul reasons: "What further reason need was there that ANOTHER priest should arise after the manner of Melchizedek? How be it Paul found the need to say that if Jesus was Melchizedek. If Paul wanted us to understand he was Jesus, dont you think here would be the place. While Paul does not say it, he meant it was AS IF .he would remain forever because there is no record of his birth or death. If he were we would have one High priest , and one "Priest of the MOST HIGH. If you assert they both were Jesus, why did the Psalmist say about Jesus. "You are a priest ACCORDING TO THE MANNER OF MELCHIZEDEK. Jesus on earth and Melchizedeck were both men. Jesus said himself he was just a man. John 8:40, and Paul 3 times said he was a man. If you say they are the same you run into a mess.
Thank you for this explanation! I’m constantly being asked what I think about MELCHISEDECK. As far as I see it, he’s a disciple of, the one and only God! ❤

Melchizedek Absolutely is not Jesus, two very distinct and divergent beings, you need to look a little further than the bible, as it can be a little contradictory at times, just like there are many books not included in the Bible, Blessings to you Lost Books.
Word for word from my Hebrew Bible; - And Malka Zadika, who was Shem bar Noah, the king of Yerushalem, came forth to meet Abram, and brought forth to him bread and wine; and in that time he ministered before Eloha Ilaha. - Melchi = king Zedek = high priest Melchi + Zedek = king and high priest simultaneously, Shem was both king and high priest originating the order of MelchiZedek and he is the only king/high priest (MelchiZedek) until the Messiah who follows Shem in this priesthood as he is the only other to be both king and high priest of Israel simultaneously and he will remain MelchiZedek forever because he is now immortal since his resurrection from the dead. .
I only heard this once and I don't know how true it is; that in some traditions attribute Noah's son Shem as being Melchized. According to the Genesis genealogy Shem would still be alive at the time of Abraham. great video
Highly doubtful. Word for word from my Hebrew Bible; - And Malka Zadika, who was Shem bar Noah, the king of Yerushalem, came forth to meet Abram, and brought forth to him bread and wine; and in that time he ministered before Eloha Ilaha. - Melchi = king Zedek = high priest Melchi + Zedek = king and high priest simultaneously, Shem was both king and high priest originating the order of MelchiZedek and he is the only king/high priest (MelchiZedek) until the Messiah who follows Shem in this priesthood as he is the only other to be both king and high priest of Israel simultaneously and he will remain MelchiZedek forever because he is now immortal since his resurrection from the dead. .
Religion is the opium of the masses. They tried real opium and started killing everyone so back to old faithful. Take your medicine and know your role. Of course a real connection with the Gods is not religion. I'd go as far to say its the opposite of religion.

Prin Abraham ego eimi. The conversation that led to this was about time, not identity. Thus it should be past tense rendered," Before Abraham I was", or I existed, or i have been. Google "Past tense translations of ego eimi" or " What variations in the translation of ego eimi are there."
@Markfield Park Good Sir. Since the divine name is in the hebrew some 6838 times, do you think Jehovahs witnesses have done well in restoring it?. We are exhorted to use, praise, and sing to his name as per Rev 19:1--6. Hallelujah is there 4 times/ = praise Jah, or praise Jehovah if we retain the English.
@Markfield Park hello again. Hmm. Please prepare to learn a most important truth. You arrive at that conclusion solely because most modern bibles have followed the Jewish wicked priests and prophets Mal 2:1,2, Jer 23:27 and Rome. An examination of the Jerusalem Bible, American standard version, Byingtons and some of Youngs, and any interlinear will confirm it is in the Hebrew over 6800 times. What does that tell you? Why did the priests remove it and replace it with LORD. (Adonai).Read all of Jer. 23. Exod 3:14. Moses asks for his NAME.v13. Then at V14 the angel first answers "ehyeh asher ehyeh" This does NOT mean "I am that I am". Ehyeh is derived from the hebrew verb "hayah" which means to be, or to become. The correct meaning is" I will be that which I will be", or" I will become what I will become." The Hebrew for "I am" is "ani". Please get an interlinear and go to, for example, Lev. 19. There you will find 20 times "ani Yahweh" or the Jews today say "ani yehowah". That is , "I am Yehowah". If you get a Hebrew concordance you will NOT find "ehyeh" translated/used for God in the entire Bible. It is plain wrong. continued
So what is the essence of V14? In V12 Moses is told "I will be with you". So telling Moses "ehyeh asher ehyeh" he was assuring Him that what ever it takes, whatever role is needed, Israel will be delivered .He would become whatever it takes. Now V 15. Quoting from the ASV " And God said moreover unto Moses. Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob hath sent me to you : THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER, AND THIS IS MY MEMORIAL UNTO ALL GENERATIONS." The Israelites and Moses already knew the NAME but having been in bondage 400 years had never seen Him in any action. Moses was thus assured this was the same God. The patriarchs freely used the name, even built altars to Him and gave them names such as Jehovah-jireh and Jehovah -nissi. Scholars believe the NAME means "He causes to become", or" he causes to be". PRONUNCIATION. Nobody knows for sure exactly how it was said for it was forbidden to say or write the name some 2500 years ago. There are about a dozen opinions today. The 3 main contenders are Yehowah, Yahuah and Yehovah. Yahweh was decided upon by ENGLISH scholars early in the 18th century but has lost favor these days. Continued
God is well aware of all of the above, but so long as we are using ,praising and singing to his illustrious name as best we can, he will be happy. As proof, just take a look at the huge organisation that JWS have become, when in the 1870s there was just 6 men sitting around a table. I wont give numbers and accomplishments here, may be the video maker wont be happy. So" I AM" is not and never has been Gods name. The consensus is today that it is made up of 3 syllables. The English Jehovah is best known , especially in 1931 when the name was adopted, and due to us is all the more so. The day will come in the paradise earth to come that all there will know exactly how to say it. Zech 14:9
You are right......Melchizedek was just Shem’s title as the King of Salem. The reason he was said to have no beginning of days is because, as Noah’s son, he lived a really long time, and was really old. The reason he was said to have no end of days is because he and his city were so righteous that they finished the days of their probation on earth early, and were translated and were taken from earth like the City of Enoch. The city of Jebus was built upon the site where Salem once stood, and was the reason that location was important and sacred to the Israelites when they attempted to reclaim the land of of Canaan. It is also the reason they renamed the city of Jebus, JeruSALEM; or basically translated as City of Salem.
Because of Melchizedek the great king and priest 👑💖🌈😇 during old testament that's why there is a Holy Bible. and it's Jesus as Melchizedek. and Melchizedek came back as Jesus The son of God. that's why there's a New Testament 👑💖🌈😇 To God be the Glory to the most High 💖
So do some Christians. There were twelve Patriarchs and Priests. Shem (Melek Tzadik) was the ninth, between Noah the eighth and Isaac the tenth. When Noah died Shem took on the mantle, and since Abraham died before Shem, he was never a Patriarchal Priest. The twelfth and final Patriarchal Priest was Joseph, son of Jacob. After the exodus from Egypt, Aaron becomes the first Levitical Priest.
The reason jews know it is because their scribes changed genealogical timeline to make it look like Shem thus disqualifying it as having no beginning or end and Christs priesthood.
@@ws775 very wrong, also the Caldean Berosus mentions this. Everybody in the ancient world knew the just and wise kingship of Shem first king of Salem surnamed Melek Tzadik. Jews dont need to change or modify nothing. Noah and his sons werent jews nevertheless ancient jewish literature mentions this and it is not the only people registering this.
@@jennifermiller1932 you are the one wrong the disciples were all jews and untill this day there is a jewish remnant believing in Yeshua the jewish messiah. The ones who plotted against him do not represent the entire nation of Israel.
King of Salem. Like Prince of Peace? Jesus literally holds the position of the Principality that is Peace. It's his spiritual assignment. God is love. Jesus is peace. Which these also happen to be fruits of the Spirit and I don't think it's a coincidence either.
Word for word from my Hebrew Bible; - And Malka Zadika, who was Shem bar Noah, the king of Yerushalem, came forth to meet Abram, and brought forth to him bread and wine; and in that time he ministered before Eloha Ilaha. - Melchi = king Zedek = high priest Melchi + Zedek = king and high priest simultaneously, Shem was both king and high priest originating the order of MelchiZedek and he is the only king/high priest (MelchiZedek) until the Messiah who follows Shem in this priesthood as he is the only other to be both king and high priest of Israel simultaneously and he will remain MelchiZedek forever because he is now immortal since his resurrection from the dead. Salem is jeruSalem .

You give a lot of information but fail to connect your information with your end opinion. You also fail to explain away the reason why most people believe he is a christophony. For example, Hebrew7:8 "what about In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living." Where it suggests that he is still alive 2000 years later. Or right before that when it says he is greater than Abraham and that's why he is able to collect tides from him.
@@joolspools777 what would make you think that? Nothing in that chapter would suggest that. In fact, we see many times in the bible that the younger is chosen over the eldest.
He had no obligation to pay tithes, in this one instance he accepted a tenth of the spoils as a mark of thanks for the victory. "It is men that receive tithes" . That is whilst they were alive, and The Aaronic priesthood carried on until tithing ceased at Pentecost 33CE. IT was then the "Law of the Christ" Gal 6:2 went into operation to replace the old law that became defunct. From Gods standpoint that is.":Those living" are those Levites that were serving as a matter of law and received tithes as a matter of law, since they received no land as their own. It does not "suggest he carried on for 2000 years" for he was just a MAN. See Heb 7:4, 7:6, 7:13. Also he could not be the Christ for in Verse 11 we read " what further need would there be if their be ANOTHER PRIEST who to arise who is to be a priest according to the manner of Melchizedek, and not in the manner of Aaron." Jesus as High Priest had his fore-runner in Aaron, not in Melchizedek, but this one recorded instance was to PREFIGURE the fact that when Jesus was anointed as High priest it would be forever, Melchizedek his birth and death are not mentioned for Jesus' actual birth was prehuman, and God gave him immortality. John 5:26. Moses was mediator for Israel, but not the Christ. Think too of other prefigurements. The Israelites had to look at the pole with the copper snake around it to avoid death. God disposed of Moses body as he did with Jesus, to ensure icons were not made, and so on.
@@ralphgoreham3516 ok so you have a lot going on. I don't understand some of the points you are trying to make, so forgive me if I misinterpret or don't address it. Ok so the tithes are not an obligation until the law of moses, he offered it as a sign of gratitude. I think you try to use Hebrew 7:13 to prove that melchizedek was a man, but if you read verse 14, it's clear that 13 is talking about Christ. 13 and 14 show a difference from the priesthood of Aaron and lines jesus up with the priesthood of melchizedek, so I'm not sure why you said Aaron was Jesus forerunner 🤔. It's not that Melchizedek's birth and death are not mentioned, it just says that he didn't have a begging or end of life "Hebrew 7:3". You say "it does not suggest he carried on for 2000 years, he is just a man", so I'm curious as to how you interpret Hebrew 7:3. The part where it says "resembling the Son of God, he REMAINS a priest forever." Yes the snake on the pole was another Christophony
@Markfield Park sounds to me like your objection is to the trinity and not christophony. Christophony would be for example when abraham was going to sacrifice his son and God gave him a ram as a stand in. Or the snake on the pole with Moses. You say God never refers to himself as "we"... you forget He does use "us" and "our" when referring to himself. The old testament has examples of God speaking about God in 3rd person terminology. Most messianic jews believe in the trinity based on their understanding of the scriptures and the revelation of christ, so it's not a Roman catholic thing. Jewish scholars (that don't believe in Jesus) have written books about Jews not having theological points to argue against the trinity. One book is called the 2 powers in heaven.
Thanks for sharing this info. This is super helpful! Questions: 1. Was it possible tho back then for a king to be a priest of the Most High God as well? Especially when they have deity in their beliefs? 2. It says in the Bible that this is king of Salem, which means peace/Shalom, which doesn't resonate to Canaan situation at the point the event was happening. Is there a clarification on this?

35 years ago in prayer I was taken into the light for eternity held in truth and unimaginable love and ecstasy and God who is the light (Jesus) made himself like a man in front of me and said to me " I can be in the world at any time " this is the first time I'm conscious of ever hearing the word Christophany, it's not that I needed it confirming but still it's wonderful to hear.
May our God Jesus be praised and blessed for ever
can you explain how you were praying? I'd love for this to happen to me but I just never put the effort into prayer
Abraham told Isaac that God would provide a lamb. That lamb is Jesus. Lots of foreshadowing of Jesus in the binding of Isaac story.
@synthlord6575 Pray kneeling , close the door , close your eyes , feel it, and imagine it ...cry your heart out ...

@synthlord6575 he's lying, and Blessed are those who believe and don't see. Also you don't put "effort" into prayer. Prayer is just talking to God. It's sinple and easy. Just talk to Him
This was the best explanation for this specific topic I ever heard.. most times none can explain it half as good as he did.
Thank you for sharing. AMEN 🙏 🙏
Seems very few "Christians, Protestants" or other denominations understand the lineage, authority and identity of Melchizedek. If they were listening to a modern prophet, and to modern revelation, the answers would be simple and profound in the same moment. Melchizedek was the primary person in that time, with God's authorization, to preside over the faithful children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Noah!! Melchizedek was authorized by someone not identified in the Bible, but in the same manner as Jesus Christ authorized His own apostles!!
This guy is Amazing. The way he works through these Biblical realities. Really enjoyed his time on the Genesis 6 verses. The Nephilim. And let me thank Southern Seminary for sharing Honest Answers with Dr. Gentry.

Tithes are offered to God. Abraham had direct contact with God. To suggest that Melchizedek was not Christ is the result of reading scripture with your mind instead of your spirit. There are many things biblically that are not of this world. Some Heavenly things are given earthly metaphors so we can visualise the application and context of meaning.
Christ is the ladder in Jacobs dream. The angels were descending and ascending upon the ladder.
Christ is the only way to God the father. The scripture does not give us an anointing or appointment of Melchizedek. His is without genealogy, without mother or father. Thereof he is eternal. Unless the scriptures are false? God is eternal. Through receiving Christ through faith in him? We receive Christs life giving spirit and are made eternal with him.
What confirms that this is christ is that The Greater blesses the lesser. As Abraham did to Pharaoh. If Melchizedek was such a prominent figure we would see and hear more from him? We do. Because he is christ he is in evrry word of the bible. Its just that some want to impress with their knowledge. That would be eating from the tree of knowledge.
Should we read the scripture with spirit? God the father will reveal Christ to us.
Even though this man is a refined speaker and has grey hair from age? he has not seen Christ in this instance. Knowledge is not wisdom. And only the father reveals Christ. Consider that the disciples did not understand until Christ breathed the holy spirit into them.

Interesting about the Canaan devolution of their concept of God. Seeing that today with those who worship Nature and the Earth instead of the Lord God who created them.
Nothing new with today's people, mankind has always been and will always be wicked. Only the Lord can save us and change us.
Same as freemasonry are antichrist, they only accept members who worship other gods , whichever is clearly against the second commandment.
Why do you have to say Lord God? I mean, doesn't God sort of imply he's Lord? And what about Jesus?
@@diegooland1261 Just applying good intention reverence. Sorry if I incorrectly used the wrong words.
I love his delivery and his clear concise way of explaining what he as a scholar understands to be an accurate interpretation of the scriptures. I also listen to Dr. Michael Heiser, who disagrees with him on certain small points, but generally they agree overall. What I do appreciate is this channel. Putting out this kind of content gets Christians THINKING and DIGGING into the Bible, seeking answers. For too long Christians have ignored the old testament, as though it were NOT relevant to our faith. Jesus was a Jew, ALL of the disciples were Jews. Most of the new converts were Jews. They KNEW their history, their sacred writings. They celebrated the feasts and the holy days. Most of what is said by them is ONLY understood correctly through the lens of Jewish writings and traditions. That is where the richness of the Gospel lay.
Right! There's no way to understand The New Testament without The Old Testament. The Old Testament points to Christ and the prophecies in it prove Christ.
You have shared a lot of interesting information. Melchizedek is an interesting figure. Most of all, I appreciate your dialog which gives me something to ponder and to study. I don’t always agree with your conclusions, but I enjoy being challenged to review what I do and do not believe, and why I believe it.

Dr. Gentry, please teach online classes as well. I know it isnt as good as classroom instruction, but some of us study at Southern online because we read you before we came.
The most amazing purpose of Melchizedeck being a higher King than the line of David, higher Priest than the line of Levites, higher Prophet than the line of Moses and Aaron... then Jesus being in that Order, opens a way for both Jews and Gentiles to have no condemnation from the law of sin and death. Melchizedek's Order provides a way for every human to be set free to be back in communion with God...similar to Adam and Eve's walk with God in the Garden.
Adam and Eve had eternal life. The Saints will have (“Glorified Body”) immortality.
This is a great series, having recently discovered it, and enjoy Dr. Gentry’s manner of delivery.

Why you were confused?
Melchizedek was Jesus.
It was Abraham who told us this, when he met him and gave to him his tithe. He told us by referring to a title ONLY Jesus holds.
Jesus was King (Top Most Leader) and High Priest (Top Most Teacher) of Salem. Jesus had to walk the walk showing he can be Both for that is his future when Father gives to him his Church as his bride to be.
Jesus transferred the Laws of Leviticus to his Priesthood by the name of Melchizedek. This kept the Laws of Leviticus active upon mankind and still to this day they are.
Also, it is The Priesthood of Melchizedek one searches after and not the name of Jesus when finding Father's True Church from the 100,000's of Satan's false Churches and their congregations to them all.
*Father's Church will be following the Priesthood of Melchizedek. This is one of the keys to Father's Church that defines Truth from False.

Melchizedek at the same time that Abram defeated the five Kingdoms while rescuing Lot with only 318 men came back to bring one tenth of the spoils to Melchizedek who met Abram with wine and bread.This man was Shem, the second son of Noah. Shem was the only High King and High Priest of Salem at that time. Melchizedek is a title of priesthood that had no beginning and has no end. Adam was also a Melchizedek because GOD BLESSED him and gave him dominion over all HE created.✝️🙏
Anymore info on this priesthood? Books? Websites? TIA
Here is the scriptural truth of the matter.
Word for word from my Hebrew Bible;
- And Malka Zadika, who was Shem bar Noah, the king of Yerushalem, came forth to meet Abram, and brought forth to him bread and wine; and in that time he ministered before Eloha Ilaha. -
Melchi = king
Zedek = high priest
Melchi + Zedek = king and high priest simultaneously, Shem was both king and high priest originating the order of MelchiZedek and he is the only king/high priest (MelchiZedek) until the Messiah who follows Shem in this priesthood as he is the only other to be both king and high priest of simultaneously Israel and he will remain MelchiZedek forever because he is now immortal since his resurrection from the dead.

This is just wrong though, your conclusion doesn't match what any scholars say
@@ATinyPillow - so question? What about the detailed account of Melchizedek's birth in the Book of Enoch?
@@johnbagwell9525 : It’s fraudulent. The Second Book of Enoch is not a part of Bible in either Jewish or Christian tradition; instead, it belongs to the vast body of Jewish literature that is related to the books in the sacred canon. More, it was not written by the Enoch we know from Genesis 5. The text we have today was probably composed in Greek by a Jewish writer (possibly in the first or second centuries CE), but the text survived mostly in Slavonic language translation. Despite this, the text of 2 Enoch is full of Hebraisms and Jewish legends that people would have known in the days of Jesus.

Thank you very much for this enlightenment. I wanted yo name my second son Melchizedek after my first son, Gideon. Unfortunately I never had a second son, yet I give praise to God. Amen Amen Amen.
I named my son Salem...
Read my bible last night about Melchizedek on Hebrews 7. Then, saw this vid on my recommended
Lol.. he is shem.. melchesdek is shem.. Noah's son who was both king and priest or adonadesek .. all the way up to jacob one person was king and priest for tmh and then it was split between judah and Levi and the high priest being in Damascus.. John the Baptist wasnt a regular levite and shem is melchesdek .. apttmh..abraham gave shem a 10th for teaching him how to worship tmh correctly and recieved power to take the kings down.. Abraham's father was terah and idolater who made idols and could not teach shem how to worship God because he was an idolater and didn't worship the God of Noah and shem.. so he went to his elder shem.. everyone went to shem to learn things at one time.. Noah gave him the knowledge of the God that saved them from the flood..
The Melchizedek study is interesting. If we are in the spiritual priesthood to Melchizedek (with Christ as the high priest) and Ambraham tithed to Melchizedek, then why do Christian's tithe? Perhaps we've been mis-taught or worse, scammed? My video on this topic launches tomorrow. (hint, I think we are being scammed by greedy people in the church)
@@theofficialfedup Hebrews 7:3 clearly says he had no father or mother, so how could it be Shem?
@@seank3620 shem didn't have a levite father or a levite mother.. in order to be a priest under levi or Aaron's sons which were high priest.. both your mother and father had to be levites.. shem was before all that.. he was the king and priest for tmh in the earth for tmh after Noah passed it to him.. melchesdek is a order not a person.. after Jacob had 12 sons the kingship and priest hood was split.. christ would have to bring back that order because christ came from judah which is kings but he came to do priest work.. sacrifice.. only priest could sacrifice or melchesdeks who were both king and priest.. christ would have to follow under what shem was dealing with and not the 12 tribes.. shem taught abraham how to plug in with the father God because abraham's father was terah a idolater and could never teach abraham so he went to see shem to learn what noah had taught and passed down to shem..
@@theofficialfedup God Bless you, I do not want to argue and probably should have kept my comment to myself. I hope you have a wonderful night.
I've never heard of anybody saying Melchizedek was Christ himself. He's always been presented as a type of Christ in most denominations, as David and the author of Hebrews suggest. I do not see the confusion in what the former authors say about Melchizedek.
I’m saying it
NET Bible note: Salem is traditionally identified as the Jebusite stronghold of old Jerusalem. Accordingly, there has been much speculation about its king. Though some have identified him with the preincarnate Christ or with Noah’s son Shem, it is far more likely that Melchizedek was a Canaanite royal priest whom God used to renew the promise of the blessing to Abram, perhaps because Abram considered Melchizedek his spiritual superior. But Melchizedek remains an enigma. In a book filled with genealogical records he appears on the scene without a genealogy and then disappears from the narrative. In Ps 110 the Lord declares that the Davidic king is a royal priest after the pattern of Melchizedek. It is his royal priestly status that makes Melchizedek a type of Christ: He was identified with Jerusalem, superior to the ancestor of Israel, and both a king and a priest. Unlike the normal Canaanites, this man served “God Most High” (אֵל עֶלְיוֹן, ʾel ʿelyon)-one sovereign God, who was the creator of all the universe. Abram had in him a spiritual brother.
The most likely part.is what bothers me..If I don't know I don't.guess. The subject is to important
Darrell Scholl
Read the book of Jasher. It was Shem, son of Noah.
Most likely doesn't cut it with scripture. If you don't know don't guess. The truths of the Bible can't be learnt Bible mere scholastic training. Literally everyone in the Bible with that approach had to forget all they learned. And start over with God the spirit teaching them. Paul being the main. One of the secrets in plain sight of the Bible. Is that he rearley use highly educated people to reveal scripture. Most times it's some poorly educated person. And this is by design. The educated man has a tendency to try and figure it out himself making a mess. While the poorly educated knows he must wait till the spirit reveals it to him. The Bible is a book of parrables, stories, histories and symbols. You can't understand it by just using reading be ability. Jesus talked in parables to the multitudes ALL THE TIME. The deciples got fed up and asked him why he does that. The answer he gave is " because it is not for them to understand. But for you to understand. Then he explained the parable to them. Proving you will never really understand unless God tells it to you. Not approaching it like a thesis for class that will just make you a scribe or a Pharisee. Able to quote but not understand.
@@shaneking1219 this response makes so much sense to me. Not that there is anything wrong with educated people, but a LOT of so called highly educated people think they understand and know everything about Jesus or the bible just because they read it.
Yeah it does say study to show thyself approved, a workman who need not be ashammed...But he means study for spiritual knowledge and growth, not just head knowledge
It's all laid out so perfectly even a child can understand by humbly studying scripture
Whenever the bible speaks of LORD think of this:
In the Northwest Semitic languages-Ugaritic, Phoenician, Hebrew, Amorite, and Aramaic-the word baʿal signified "owner" and, by extension, "lord", a "master", or "husband". Cognates include the Akkadian Bēlu (𒂗),[c] Amharic bal (ባል), and Arabic baʿl (بَعْل). Báʿal (בַּעַל) and baʿl still serve as the words for "husband" in modern Hebrew and Arabic respectively. They also appear in some contexts concerning the ownership of things or possession of traits.
The Baʿal of Ugarit was the epithet of Hadad but as the time passed, the epithet became the god's name while Hadad became the epithet. Baʿal appears as one of the sons of El in Ugaritic sources. Both Baʿal and El were associated with the bull in Ugaritic texts, as it symbolized both strength and fertility.
Canaanites, including hebrews used to sacrifice their first borns to El through Ba'al which is why the OT prophets had been spoken out harshly against the rite.
As a motif the sacrifice of christ is an analogy of this rite combined with the OT prohibition of sacrificing first borns.

@@theofficialfedup From what scripture says, the Melchizedek Order, under which Christ is, is different from the Levitical Order. The key differences being that Melchizedek priests, must, of necessity differ from the Aaronic/Levitical preisthood in some way. The Aaronic priesthood had High priests who were not Kings and would die and their descendants take their place...unlike the Melchizedekean one...my 2 cents.
@@theofficialfedup He is in the Dead Sea Scrolls as the bastardized nephew of Noah.
Thank you for the very interesting information. I was taught Melchizedek is a form of priesthood, people who go down into the crisis from within and raise it up, like Green Berets. Angels, on the other hand, help solve crises from outside the crisis. Jesus of Nazareth is of the order of Melchizedek.
It is an order of priesthood.
Word for word from my Hebrew Bible;
- And Malka Zadika, who was Shem bar Noah, the king of Yerushalem, came forth to meet Abram, and brought forth to him bread and wine; and in that time he ministered before Eloha Ilaha. -
Melchi = king
Zedek = high priest
Melchi + Zedek = king and high priest simultaneously, Shem was both king and high priest originating the order of MelchiZedek and he is the only king/high priest (MelchiZedek) until the Messiah who follows Shem in this priesthood as he is the only other to be both king and high priest of Israel and he will remain MelchiZedek forever because he is now immortal since his resurrection from the dead.
.
@@ATinyPillow Interesting idea, so basically you conclude that Melchizedek is a person in flesh and blood, not some kind of divine representation, which is in line with what Prof. Gentry conclusion. Now I wonder if they call him the King of Salem, does that suggest he was a king of Jerusalem once in time?
@@jojoanggono3229 : Yes, Shem was in fact the 1st king of jeruSalem. Scripture says that God preserved the priesthood through the flood. Since only Noah, his wife and Noah’s 3 sons and their wives, were saved on the ark - Noah being the family patriarch would have been the priest that God preserved through the flood. It can be no other way given the 8 people who were saved on the ark. Therefore, when Noah passes, the priesthood goes to his eldest son who would be Shem.
Therefore Shem would have been priest and 1st king of jeruSalem simultaneously in Abraham’s time, and to no surprise the word “MelchiZedek” literally breaks down as “Melchi” meaning king + “Zedek” meaning priest. The dictionary definition essentially says the same adding that MelchiZedek was the Old Testament priest-king who met Abraham, feel free to check it out for yourself. Since Shem is the only priest-king of jeruSalem in Old Testament history, the only possible choice has to be Shem. Our Messiah is the only other priest-king so he is therefore after the MelchiZedek priest-king priesthood initially established by Shem and since our messiah is now immortal, he is MelchiZedek priest-king forever because he cannot die just like it says in the book of Hebrews.
It doesn’t hurt that it literally says Shem is MelchiZedek in my Hebrew Bible as you may have read in my earlier comment.
Have a nice evening.
.
The point of Jesus referring to Melchizedek was to prove there is a greater priesthood and a non lineage one (Jesus has a greater priesthood and wasn’t through the lineage of Aaron).
I believe he was Shem son of Noah! Study it you will see how possible this is! 🤔🙏
I love Melchizedek, because I know God loves him, and he plays a great role in the kingdom of God, and God is very pleased with him and that's all that matters. God bless

Thank you again. I really appreciate your thorough work through of events and people in the OT and that you don’t shy away from any difficulties. So little careful teaching of the Bible these days.
There is no thuro teaching here ir careful study. More bull by church mongers
Abraham understood offerings and tithes. Hopefully, so do we. In this carnal age of fake christianity we see scams throughout so called churches with fake names such as saint this and the church of that? the book of revelation makes it clear that churches are named by location. The universal Church is all the believers.
Tithes are offered to God. Abraham had direct contact with God. To suggest that Melchizedek was not Christ is the result of reading scripture with your mind instead of your spirit. There are many things biblically that are not of this world. Some Heavenly things are given earthly metaphors so we can visualise the application and context of meaning.
Christ is the ladder in Jacobs dream. The angels were descending and ascending upon the ladder.
Christ is the only way to God the father. The scripture does not give us an anointing or appointment of Melchizedek. His is without genealogy, without mother or father. Thereof he is eternal. Unless the scriptures are false? God is eternal. Through receiving Christ through faith in him? We receive Christs life giving spirit and are made eternal with him.
What confirms that this is christ is that The Greater blesses the lesser. As Abraham did to Pharaoh. If Melchizedek was such a prominent figure we would see and hear more from him? We do. Because he is christ he is in evrry word of the bible. Its just that some want to impress with their knowledge. That would be eating from the tree of knowledge.
Should we read the scripture with spirit? God the father will reveal Christ to us.
Even though this man is a refined speaker and has grey hair from age? he has not seen Christ in this instance. Knowledge is not wisdom. And only the father reveals Christ. Consider that the disciples did not understand until Christ breathed the holy spirit into them.
So too for this man whom speaks after eating from the tree of knowledge. I pray that he opens his heart to have our heavenly father place his will, his heart and mind into this mans life. Dr gentry is not saved.

The way Jesus applied Melchizedek was to himself since the question was asked in the New Testament who the people thought that the Messiah was. The answer given by the religious teachers was the son of David and then Jesus quoted Psalm 110:1-4, the Lord said to my Lord meaning that King David was referring the Melchizedek of verse 4 as being his Lord meaning that he existed prior to the Incarnation. Fact is that this particular Psalm 110:1-4 is inextricably linked to Hebrews 7:1-3 and in Psalm 110: 1-4 verse 4 is revealed as the Heavenly Melchizedek which had nothing to do with an earthly Canaanite King. Factor into the account that Dead Sea Scroll Document 11Q13 reveals that the ancients believed that Melchizedek was Elohim and would as High Priest of God conduct the Day of Atonement on behalf of God's people on the 10th Jubilee which would have been fulfilled at the time of Christ's baptism in 27 AD.
I see, may i ask where did you learn this? Thanks :)

I was rolling witcha to that dead sea scrolls part. Not saying u believe that part but Malkiy-Tsedeq is definitely not Yahuah.
I believe M-T is a precursor to Ha'Mashiach bc in Genesis is says he is priest of El Elyon. Ha'Mashiach is High Priest. H'M is the Son of Elohiym. Where does Yah say M-T is the Son? Also M-T is not salvation. He did not cause the veil to be ripped nor was he he resurrected. And the Bible continuously say ORDER of M'T. My question to ppl who believe M-T is H'M is...So H'M is going to order after himself?
@@nmr3647 your right but he did start the order of serving a meal with both bread and wine, and me I think that bread was Matzha bread and it’s what Yeshua gave to His disciples as well, right before He was crucified and He explained to them and all of us just what the bread and wine represented

Excellent exposition! Thank you. Really enjoying these lessons.
In my studies I found That Melchizedek means patriarch king . In the time of Abraham the eldest male person in a family was the priest of that family . He would be the eldest patriarch of that family . So after the flood in Noah’s day , Noah lived another 300 years are after the flood . He was a preacher of righteousness and his ministry lasted until his death . Then his son Shem became the preacher or priest of righteousness . Abraham was a direct descendant of Shem not of Cannon . Shem was the eldest patriarch of the family of Abraham . Shem lived 500 years after the flood . That made him Abraham’s priest . Actually Shem outlived Abraham I’ve 30 years . Jacob was about 50 years old when Shem died . It’s my understanding that Shem was Melchizedek by studying the Bible and doing the math . Then I read the book of Jesher and it said that Shem was Melchizedek . What the writer of Hebrews was trying to say is that Melchizedek was not of the linage of Aaron the high priest during The time Moses was given the law . He was alive some 500 years before the Levitical priesthood started . So he was out of order to be the Levitical High Priest . To be high priest he had to be a direct descendant of Aaron . Jesus in like manner was a Jew and not a descendant of Aaron the high priest . But he became our high priest and king . Jesus was “ begotten “ of Mary and never preexisted as a man before he was begotten. Begotten means to come into being . But as God , which was the Holy Spirit he always existed .
Man!!! Did you copy me???
Just posted my comment before reading yours, really. Truly I had earlier plotted a time graph of the live time of these patriarchs after reading the old testament and Jews Antiquities by Josephus. To my amazement, I discovered that Issac the son of Abraham met Shem and Eber , the great grand Father of Abraham, also Esau and Jacob met Shem also. Isaac was,. In reading the Book of Jasher, long time after that discovery, I also noticed that Abraham was sent to Shem to be trained by Shem by his father Terah, same Abraham sent Isaac to be trained, same Isaac sent his sons Esau and Jacob to be trained in the same place but Esau refused to go but Jacob went.
Yes I agree with you and also have learned some good pieces of information thanks to you. I dont think it is a right assesment to say that Jesus was made flesh in Genesis in the form of Melchizedek. One reason being that He was already working actively in spirit form as "The Angel of the LORD".
Going a bit off the rail, I think Moses could have actually been of that kind of king/priest line if he hadn't been so avoiding of his calling. Exodus 4:10-16
that would be incorrect because we know their genealogy, and Hebrews 7 states that he has no descent. And also, the man Abraham payed tithes to was a king and a priest as well
Kenim , I’ve been a Bible student for 50 years and I’ve had in-depth Bible studies in all those years . What we have to do is get away from all the traditions of men and go back to the King James Version of the Bible to get the true meaning of Gods word . KJV is still the most accurate version of the Bible . Read the prophesies of who Jesus is like Isaiah 9:6 . It says the child born ( Jesus ) would be the Mighty God , the Everlasting Father . In translation from Hebrew to English the word Saviour was was translated Jesus . Isaiah 12:2 says “ Behold , God is my salvation; I will trust , and not be afraid : for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song ; he also is become my salvation . Jesus name meant Jehovah has become our salvation . It’s written over 300 times in the Bible “ the Lord our God is one Lord “ . Deuteronomy 6:4 says “ Heat O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord “ . So the point I’m trying to make is that the God of creation became the Son of redemption. The Bible never taught a trinity of persons or Gods . When Philip said “ Lord , shew is the Father “ in John 14:8 , in verse 9 “ Jesus saith unto him , Have I been so long time with you , and yet hast thou not known me , Philip ? Th that hath seen me hath seen the Father ; and how sayers thou then Shew us the Father “ . Jesus calmed to be the Father in that scripture. There’s so many scriptures that prove that Jesus is the Father “”. Read Revelation 1:8 Jesus calmed to be the Almighty . Matthew 1:23 says “ Behold , a Virgin shall be with child , and shall bring forth a son , and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is , God with us “ . In John 4:24 Jesus said “ God is a Spirit ant they that worship him must worship him is Spirit and truth “. It says God is “ A “ Spirit . That means one Spirit and that’s the Holy Spirit . That Holy Spirit is the Father or the Father of creation . As Spirit God didn’t have a body or form as we know of . A Spirit is invisible and can’t be seen . So the Holy Ghost overshadowed Mary and she conceived of the Holy Ghost . That makes the Holy Ghost the Father of Jesus . That’s how the God of creation became the man Christ Jesus . 1TIMOTHY 3:16 says “ And without controversy, Great is the mystery of Godliness . God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit , seen of angels , preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory “. God was manifest in the flesh. Manifest means to be shown as . God was shown as flesh . Kenim I haven’t even scratched the service on the scriptures that proves Jesus is God but there’s enough in this little Bible study to get you started . Have a blessed day my friend!!!
Your correct, it was Shem
Yes Melchizidek was a real person. Some say he could have been Shem, one of the eight believers who stepped off of the ark. He was a king-priest. He did not require certain parents like the Levitical priests. Jesus Christ being from the tribe of Judah is also a king-priest.

I am glad to know more about the man for whom the Melchizedek Priesthood is named. This is the same Priesthood authority which has been restored to the earth and which I and many other Latter-Day Saints are commanded to use to serve the only true God and our fellow man. And the authority to bless and serve others with the authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood is not limited to men. All have a role in gathering Israel prior to the return of our Savior Jesus Christ.❤
The LDS have been so massively misled by false doctrine, fake teachings, lies, and rewrites of Gods word that this story has been so utterly misunderstood that it forms the basis of something it never was in your religion.
Sorry brother but the only one in the manner of Melchizedek is Jesus Christ. No man is also in this same priesthood. He is the high priest for mankind. We’re all kings and priests in a sense, but the priesthood simply denotes one’s that reveal and represent God on earth to others. In the OT the nation of Israel were a kingdom of priests in the sense that they represented the one God to the surrounding nations. Christians today are priests in that we represent God to men through Jesus, and he is image of his Father.
Wow this is awesome! I’ve been studying in Hebrews and I finally got to the point and was like man I need to know more background on this order of Melchizedek haha. Thank you!

Jesus Christ the Eternal Son of God does not Enter time and space until the time of the New Testament/New Covenant, However psalm 2 v 7 when fully understood ONLY POINTS TO JESUS, The Eternal Son of the most high God. Psalm 2 is traditionally accepted as being a messianic Psalm.

Once again, you are talking rubbish because there is no where in the Bible where the Creator calls Jesus his son. He called Israel his son(first born) and David was called my son as well. But nothing about Jesus and I am suppose to take your word for it?!? GTFOH!!!
@@allpraisestothemosthigh4671 why are you looking for an argument ?....you clearly have not grasped basic biblical principals. Please try and further educate yourself from a spiritual perspective before "contributing" on a public forum... anyone can read the bible. fewer understand what they are reading. evidently you fall in the latter category.
GMS7
I see. So I lack the spirit to understand the Bible.
Why was this not given to the Old Testament prophets? How come Abraham, Isaac and Jacob didn’t know anything about Jesus? All the calamities Israel went through(even though the Creator calls Israel the apple of his eye)when a savior could’ve helped them, but the Creator insisted on keeping the law. Israel failed to keep the law so they got punished.
All of the sudden Jesus showed up during the Roman period(how convenient) and “fulfilled the law.
By the way, you keep tapping about nonsense but you haven’t provided one scripture from the Old Testament about Jesus. Not one(all you do is twist and corrupt it to fit your wicked narratives). The Creator doesn’t change.
He had an everlasting covenant with Israel....but He changed His mind because Israel couldn’t keep the commandments.
Haha, you Christians are funny. All religions for that matter are wicked!!!

Abraham understood offerings and tithes. Hopefully, so do we. In this carnal age of fake christianity we see scams throughout so called churches with fake names such as saint this and the church of that? the book of revelation makes it clear that churches are named by location. The universal Church is all the believers.
Tithes are offered to God. Abraham had direct contact with God. To suggest that Melchizedek was not Christ is the result of reading scripture with your mind instead of your spirit. There are many things biblically that are not of this world. Some Heavenly things are given earthly metaphors so we can visualise the application and context of meaning.
Christ is the ladder in Jacobs dream. The angels were descending and ascending upon the ladder.
Christ is the only way to God the father. The scripture does not give us an anointing or appointment of Melchizedek. His is without genealogy, without mother or father. Thereof he is eternal. Unless the scriptures are false? God is eternal. Through receiving Christ through faith in him? We receive Christs life giving spirit and are made eternal with him.
What confirms that this is christ is that The Greater blesses the lesser. As Abraham did to Pharaoh. If Melchizedek was such a prominent figure we would see and hear more from him? We do. Because he is christ he is in evrry word of the bible. Its just that some want to impress with their knowledge. That would be eating from the tree of knowledge.
Should we read the scripture with spirit? God the father will reveal Christ to us.
Even though this man is a refined speaker and has grey hair from age? he has not seen Christ in this instance. Knowledge is not wisdom. And only the father reveals Christ. Consider that the disciples did not understand until Christ breathed the holy spirit into them.
So too for this man whom speaks after eating from the tree of knowledge. I pray that he opens his heart to have our heavenly father place his will, his heart and mind into this mans life. Dr gentry is not saved.
The strangest thing is that I do not ever remember reading about him as a child, not once. Then at 48 I am seeing his name everywhere, including randomly getting this in my recommended.
I read with my own eyes that he was without mother and father, King of Salem. It was made to sound as if he was omnipotent . Why also have I read that Jesus "will forever be high priest in the order of Malchesidec"? 🤔
Im going to say that maybe his parents died when he was young. He was most likely an only child. Also he didn't have any children of his own and probably didn't have an any siblings. So melchezedek will be a high priest forever because there was no one else to pass the title to. The same thing with jesus. He came into the world in a miraculous way. He had no children of his own. He was the only one qualified to die for us and he did so . So he is a high priest forever.

No. He was Shem, the righteous son of Noah. Samuel was like him as Samuel was both Prophet and Judge and Priest. This guy is saying that Melchizedek was both King and Prophet as well as Judge and Priest and that's not true as Samuel taught that GOD was Israel's king and remember that GOD wanted Moses to be Prophet / Judge AND High Priest but Moses didn't believe and GOD split the offices and gave the high priest to Aaron and Moses was just Prophet & Judge and Leader.

Yashar (Jasher) 16:11 "And Adoni-Tsedeq king of Yerusha-layim, the same is Shem, went out with his men to meet Avram and his people, with bread and wine, and they remained together in the valley of Melek. 16:12 And Adoni-Tsedeq blessed Avram, and Avram gave him a tenth from all that he had brought from the spoil of his enemies, for Adoni-Tsedeq was a priest before ELOHIYM.

In Ethiopian language Melke-Tsadik( Melchizedek) means the face of a holy man. Not fully accurate but close enough.
Adoni-tsadiq means holy father(in Amharic/Tigrinya) language spoken in Ethiopia. We still use those titles when addressing priests and saints.
I just thought it was interesting what is written In the book of Jasher!!!
THA DIFFERENCE!!! Ekziaber esthelin Gethe’
Jasher contradicts the Bible, it says Moses smote the Egyptian and fled Egypt at 18, when Exodus said 40. Then had some strange narrative where Moses was king over, I believe it was the Moabites from the time he was 18 till almost 40. Overall, I think Jasher (the version we have now) might have a few true stories, but has been filled with lies. If you read it, notice that it goes on and on about the works of men but says little about God. It has long, long narratives about what Abraham, Moses, or any other of the patriarchs did - but those stories usually don't tie back into giving us a better understanding of who God is. It's just plain history for the vast majority of it
Yes! I've read this and I'm surprised that this man seems unaware of it.
Amazing insights.

I’ve understood the phrase ‘in the ORDER of Melchizedek” to mean just that. As a model for Christ. Thanks for expounding on this topic.
God Bless I learned a lot but I don’t think we have enough info about Melchezedik to be 100% sure about your final conclusions. Definitely, there is merit to the simple conservative theories. Could there be something more profound here? I think maybe. Does it change the gospel? Is this something to divide over. Nope. Thanks again!
Verse says he was before, after, and always will be. In my opinion, when Abraham met Melchizedek, that was Jesus Christ. Just my opinion.
Melchizedek is not the same person as Yahshua. The reason being, is that they are different priesthoods. When the scriptures say, "You are a priest forever" it is referring to David's son, Yahshua and when it says "after the order of Melchizedek" it is distinguishing these two people as separate. When Yahshua said of Abraham that "he saw my day" he was referring to a vision which he was given of his own time since he uses the word "day" and not "he saw me" but it was of his day and time. So this means, that Abraham seeing Melchizedek did NOT constitute seeing the Christ but that Melchizedek is like an angel of God who lives actually after the order of Christ. Yahshua is the First and the Last and there is no one besides him. Thus, when David had mentioned that Yahshua was a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek he was only relating to it in the only way he could which was that historically Melchizedek came before the Christ, but we know that the Christ has been before the foundation of the world and so we know that Melchizedek is truly a priest forever after the order of Yahshua. This means that the bread and wine that was brought to Abraham was actually a prophetic sacrament bringing Abraham into the fold of the new covenant in Yahshua Christ's blood and that he was the first Christian. GLORY HALLELUJAH TO GOD ALMIGHTY! PRAISE AND HONOR AND GLORY AND MIGHT, WISDOM AND COUNSEL AND KNOWLEDGE AND EXCELLENCE BE ASCRIBED TO OUR GOD
The Bible say in Hebrews 7:3 that Melchizedek was “resembling the Son of God”, not that he WAS the Son of God.

Noah gave him the knowledge of the God that saved them from the flood..
Melchizedek is called King of Salem. Isn’t Salem another word for peace? King/Priest, King of Peace? If we take the Scriptures at their face value Melchizedek can well be a Christophany...
Those were my thoughts as well. The Bible also mentions he has no mother or father, nor genealogy. No beginning or end of days. His name means King of Righteousness and he is also King of Salem/Peace. I strongly would say he is a typology of Christ.
@@TheGospelRenewed No he was a human, possibly Shem, Noahs firstborn. He lived 600 years. He brought out bread and wine, gave it to Abraham, whilst Abraham gave him a 10th of the spoils. He was a typology, meant to prefigure Jesus but was not him. NO GENEALOGY was given at Moses inspiration for Melkizedek, but he like any human had one. Thus he pictured Jesus who was to hold both offices, viz High priest and King for the whole world. No Israelite could serve as King and Priest. Jesus PREHUMAN existence, and the fact that he was given immortality, John 5:26, means Melchizedek was purposely used to prefigure Jesus, who by the way is Gods "firstborn, begotten, and created angel. KJV, ASV, NASV. KJV . ( prototokos, monogenes, arche kitsis tou Oeou-- Firstborn, only begotten, beginning of Gods creation. Col 1:15, John 3:16, Rev 3:14. Salem means peace but apparently later became the site of Jerusalem and may well have got its name from Shem. He had to be a worshiper of God like Noah and his other 2 sons to be used by him although surrounded by Cananites. (Like Lot was).
Making clear Melchizedek was only a MAN is make clear at Heb 7:4, 7:6, and 7:13. if he were any more than a man, now would be the time for Paul to say so.
Ralph Goreham Thank you for your response Mr. Goreham. I would say that Paul did tell us he is more than a human as he stated his priesthood is forever. We see that all other priests except Christ was replaced. You mentioned he is Shem, Noah’s first born. Paul tells us he has no mother or father, no genealogy. No beginning and end of days. What are your thoughts on those points?
@@TheGospelRenewed No you need to look closer. Look at Heb 7: 11 .Melchizedek has no genealogy, Jesus as a man had Aaron as his priestly Genealogy or foundation. In Melchizedeks day their was no priesthood, he appears in the record abruptly and is not mentioned until Psm 110:1,2. But he does nothing else in the rest of the Bible. All he does is typify Jesus as did Moses as a mediator prefiguring Jesus. . Paul reasons: "What further reason need was there that ANOTHER priest should arise after the manner of Melchizedek? How be it Paul found the need to say that if Jesus was Melchizedek. If Paul wanted us to understand he was Jesus, dont you think here would be the place. While Paul does not say it, he meant it was AS IF .he would remain forever because there is no record of his birth or death. If he were we would have one High priest , and one "Priest of the MOST HIGH. If you assert they both were Jesus, why did the Psalmist say about Jesus. "You are a priest ACCORDING TO THE MANNER OF MELCHIZEDEK. Jesus on earth and Melchizedeck were both men. Jesus said himself he was just a man. John 8:40, and Paul 3 times said he was a man. If you say they are the same you run into a mess.
Thank you for this explanation! I’m constantly being asked what I think about MELCHISEDECK. As far as I see it, he’s a disciple of, the one and only God! ❤
Melchezedek shows that there is history separated from abraham. The people knew about the Creator
To his point Hebrews chapter 5 also suggests this is a typification of Christ, in the aspect of a forever Priesthood

Prin Abraham ego eimi. The conversation that led to this was about time, not identity. Thus it should be past tense rendered," Before Abraham I was", or I existed, or i have been. Google "Past tense translations of ego eimi" or " What variations in the translation of ego eimi are there."
@Markfield Park Good Sir. Since the divine name is in the hebrew some 6838 times, do you think Jehovahs witnesses have done well in restoring it?. We are exhorted to use, praise, and sing to his name as per Rev 19:1--6. Hallelujah is there 4 times/ = praise Jah, or praise Jehovah if we retain the English.
@Markfield Park hello again. Hmm. Please prepare to learn a most important truth. You arrive at that conclusion solely because most modern bibles have followed the Jewish wicked priests and prophets
Mal 2:1,2, Jer 23:27 and Rome. An examination of the Jerusalem Bible, American standard version, Byingtons and some of Youngs, and any interlinear will confirm it is in the Hebrew over 6800 times. What does that tell you? Why did the priests remove it and replace it with LORD. (Adonai).Read all of Jer. 23. Exod 3:14. Moses asks for his NAME.v13. Then at V14 the angel first answers "ehyeh asher ehyeh" This does NOT mean "I am that I am". Ehyeh is derived from the hebrew verb "hayah" which means to be, or to become. The correct meaning is" I will be that which I will be", or" I will become what I will become." The Hebrew for "I am" is "ani". Please get an interlinear and go to, for example, Lev. 19. There you will find 20 times "ani Yahweh" or the Jews today say "ani yehowah". That is , "I am Yehowah". If you get a Hebrew concordance you will NOT find "ehyeh" translated/used for God in the entire Bible. It is plain wrong.
continued
So what is the essence of V14? In V12 Moses is told "I will be with you". So telling Moses "ehyeh asher ehyeh" he was assuring Him that what ever it takes, whatever role is needed, Israel will be delivered .He would become whatever it takes. Now V 15. Quoting from the ASV " And God said moreover unto Moses. Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob hath sent me to you : THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER, AND THIS IS MY MEMORIAL UNTO ALL GENERATIONS." The Israelites and Moses already knew the NAME but having been in bondage 400 years had never seen Him in any action. Moses was thus assured this was the same God. The patriarchs freely used the name, even built altars to Him and gave them names such as Jehovah-jireh and Jehovah -nissi. Scholars believe the NAME means "He causes to become", or" he causes to be". PRONUNCIATION. Nobody knows for sure exactly how it was said for it was forbidden to say or write the name some 2500 years ago. There are about a dozen opinions today.
The 3 main contenders are Yehowah, Yahuah and Yehovah. Yahweh was decided upon by ENGLISH scholars early in the 18th century but has lost favor these days. Continued
God is well aware of all of the above, but so long as we are using ,praising and singing to his illustrious name as best we can, he will be happy. As proof, just take a look at the huge organisation that JWS have become, when in the 1870s there was just 6 men sitting around a table. I wont give numbers and accomplishments here, may be the video maker wont be happy. So" I AM" is not and never has been Gods name. The consensus is today that it is made up of 3 syllables. The English Jehovah is best known , especially in 1931 when the name was adopted, and due to us is all the more so. The day will come in the paradise earth to come that all there will know exactly how to say it. Zech 14:9
Noah’s son, Shem. However, that’s just a belief. I’m only firm on one belief, and that is Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior.
You have Infinite Worth
You are right......Melchizedek was just Shem’s title as the King of Salem. The reason he was said to have no beginning of days is because, as Noah’s son, he lived a really long time, and was really old. The reason he was said to have no end of days is because he and his city were so righteous that they finished the days of their probation on earth early, and were translated and were taken from earth like the City of Enoch. The city of Jebus was built upon the site where Salem once stood, and was the reason that location was important and sacred to the Israelites when they attempted to reclaim the land of of Canaan. It is also the reason they renamed the city of Jebus, JeruSALEM; or basically translated as City of Salem.
I could listen to this dude all day
This helps me sleep, cause these are my interests
That’s nice! I hope you have a good week!
Esta Ault thank you. God with you
Because of Melchizedek the great king and priest 👑💖🌈😇 during old testament that's why there is a Holy Bible. and it's Jesus as Melchizedek. and Melchizedek came back as Jesus The son of God. that's why there's a New Testament 👑💖🌈😇 To God be the Glory to the most High 💖
I came here just to see how my name is pronounced in english
Thank you very much for this amazing explanation not a lot of people are talking about Melchizedek
The Melek Tzadik the just king, founder and first king of Salem later called Jerusalem was Shem son of Noah. Every jew knows that.
So do some Christians. There were twelve Patriarchs and Priests. Shem (Melek Tzadik) was the ninth, between Noah the eighth and Isaac the tenth. When Noah died Shem took on the mantle, and since Abraham died before Shem, he was never a Patriarchal Priest. The twelfth and final Patriarchal Priest was Joseph, son of Jacob. After the exodus from Egypt, Aaron becomes the first Levitical Priest.
The reason jews know it is because their scribes changed genealogical timeline to make it look like Shem thus disqualifying it as having no beginning or end and Christs priesthood.
@@ws775 very wrong, also the Caldean Berosus mentions this. Everybody in the ancient world knew the just and wise kingship of Shem first king of Salem surnamed Melek Tzadik. Jews dont need to change or modify nothing. Noah and his sons werent jews nevertheless ancient jewish literature mentions this and it is not the only people registering this.

Didn't the Jewish nation, deny The Messiah and crucified him, through the Romans,
maybe they got this wrong too.
@@jennifermiller1932 you are the one wrong the disciples were all jews and untill this day there is a jewish remnant believing in Yeshua the jewish messiah. The ones who plotted against him do not represent the entire nation of Israel.
King of Salem. Like Prince of Peace? Jesus literally holds the position of the Principality that is Peace. It's his spiritual assignment. God is love. Jesus is peace. Which these also happen to be fruits of the Spirit and I don't think it's a coincidence either.
Fruit of spirit small s. That passage lacks the definite article meaning fruit of the newborn human spirit
Word for word from my Hebrew Bible;
- And Malka Zadika, who was Shem bar Noah, the king of Yerushalem, came forth to meet Abram, and brought forth to him bread and wine; and in that time he ministered before Eloha Ilaha. -
Melchi = king
Zedek = high priest
Melchi + Zedek = king and high priest simultaneously, Shem was both king and high priest originating the order of MelchiZedek and he is the only king/high priest (MelchiZedek) until the Messiah who follows Shem in this priesthood as he is the only other to be both king and high priest of Israel simultaneously and he will remain MelchiZedek forever because he is now immortal since his resurrection from the dead.
Salem is jeruSalem
.
They simply don't know. No matter what angle you go at it it still comes up basic material again and again.
Jesus was the high priest after the order of Melchizedek, King Preists
Please pray for all blind people to recover their sight. Pray also for Carmen who Lost her sight at 30 years old. And pray also for younger people to stop using drugs alcohol and guns and knifes in Jesus name AMEN. Thank you for your lecture. In Jesus name AMEN
Jesus could have cured everyone of blindness in his time. Did he?
You guys got any lectures uploaded on Audible?
You give a lot of information but fail to connect your information with your end opinion. You also fail to explain away the reason why most people believe he is a christophony.
For example, Hebrew7:8 "what about In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living." Where it suggests that he is still alive 2000 years later. Or right before that when it says he is greater than Abraham and that's why he is able to collect tides from him.
It may be that the meaning of the word 'greater' is..one who came before
@@joolspools777 what would make you think that? Nothing in that chapter would suggest that. In fact, we see many times in the bible that the younger is chosen over the eldest.
He had no obligation to pay tithes, in this one instance he accepted a tenth of the spoils as a mark of thanks for the victory. "It is men that receive tithes" . That is whilst they were alive, and The Aaronic priesthood carried on until tithing ceased at Pentecost 33CE. IT was then the "Law of the Christ" Gal 6:2 went into operation to replace the old law that became defunct. From Gods standpoint that is.":Those living" are those Levites that were serving as a matter of law and received tithes as a matter of law, since they received no land as their own. It does not "suggest he carried on for 2000 years" for he was just a MAN. See Heb 7:4, 7:6, 7:13. Also he could not be the Christ for in Verse 11 we read " what further need would there be if their be ANOTHER PRIEST who to arise who is to be a priest according to the manner of Melchizedek, and not in the manner of Aaron." Jesus as High Priest had his fore-runner in Aaron, not in Melchizedek, but this one recorded instance was to PREFIGURE the fact that when Jesus was anointed as High priest it would be forever, Melchizedek his birth and death are not mentioned for Jesus' actual birth was prehuman, and God gave him immortality. John 5:26. Moses was mediator for Israel, but not the Christ. Think too of other prefigurements. The Israelites had to look at the pole with the copper snake around it to avoid death. God disposed of Moses body as he did with Jesus, to ensure icons were not made, and so on.
@@ralphgoreham3516 ok so you have a lot going on. I don't understand some of the points you are trying to make, so forgive me if I misinterpret or don't address it. Ok so the tithes are not an obligation until the law of moses, he offered it as a sign of gratitude. I think you try to use Hebrew 7:13 to prove that melchizedek was a man, but if you read verse 14, it's clear that 13 is talking about Christ.
13 and 14 show a difference from the priesthood of Aaron and lines jesus up with the priesthood of melchizedek, so I'm not sure why you said Aaron was Jesus forerunner 🤔.
It's not that Melchizedek's birth and death are not mentioned, it just says that he didn't have a begging or end of life "Hebrew 7:3".
You say "it does not suggest he carried on for 2000 years, he is just a man", so I'm curious as to how you interpret Hebrew 7:3. The part where it says "resembling the Son of God, he REMAINS a priest forever."
Yes the snake on the pole was another Christophony
@Markfield Park sounds to me like your objection is to the trinity and not christophony. Christophony would be for example when abraham was going to sacrifice his son and God gave him a ram as a stand in. Or the snake on the pole with Moses.
You say God never refers to himself as "we"... you forget He does use "us" and "our" when referring to himself. The old testament has examples of God speaking about God in 3rd person terminology. Most messianic jews believe in the trinity based on their understanding of the scriptures and the revelation of christ, so it's not a Roman catholic thing. Jewish scholars (that don't believe in Jesus) have written books about Jews not having theological points to argue against the trinity. One book is called the 2 powers in heaven.
Mechizedek is Shem, the son of Noah according to the book of Jasher
Mechizedek has no genealogy. No mother or father no birth or death...
@@Acuate18777 read the book of Jasher you'll get all the information required there
I only believing the books in the Bible. The rest are stories
@@emmanuelimumolen9366 the book of Joshua and the book of Samuel talks about the book of Jasher
Why isn't it in the inspired Bible?
Thanks for sharing this info. This is super helpful!
Questions:
1. Was it possible tho back then for a king to be a priest of the Most High God as well? Especially when they have deity in their beliefs?
2. It says in the Bible that this is king of Salem, which means peace/Shalom, which doesn't resonate to Canaan situation at the point the event was happening. Is there a clarification on this?
The letter J is less than 500 years old .. The Ha'Shem of the messiah is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏
