I was praying. I asked God why He nolonger speaks to us. Why we nolonger see angels. I told Him i stoped reading the bible reason being it has been changed so much. I told him i know all the names people call Him by but i would like to know who really He is. I told Him am afraid to read the bible and Chirstianity with these early pastors they have turned it into a joke yet go unpunished. So am afraid to partake in a lie thinking it's write. I had recited this prayer for so long but today as i kept asking God if is there atleast some truth that remained unchanged in the bible. Then a voice said melchizedec. Now i had no idea where it was but i knew somewhere at the end of the bible. I never checked at that time i kept asking God to speak to me opening some books of the old testament. Then i turned to new testament a page opened about Melchizedec. I prayed and thanked God. Then i took my phone to youtube to see if anyone ever wondered about this figure. To me i believe God was showing me His truth who He is. The beginning and the end. No mother no father. Withought genealogy. King of salem. King of peace. El and Elohim. Today has changed my life and you revealed more. God bless you. I don't call on anyone to believe or debate but i know what i know
It's clear as day, Melchizedek is the Great I AM in the old testament. Our Lord has always came in flesh to visit His people. Our LORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. HALLELUJAH & AMEN
The Jews had a tradition of using bread and wine ceremonially long before Jesus. Jesus says "as often as you do this" indicating they already did it. He was reinterpreting an existing tradition, not inventing a new one.
We are convinced that's it is the "order" of Melchizedek. It is not one man, it is a title. The Melchizedek does not have a beginning, end, or genealogy. It is the line of the messiah.
I shared some of what I learned from you with my Sunday school class yesterday morning. They went wild. "Mel who?" haha oh man! We spun off on that for 20 minutes they tore their bibles up looking for Melchizedek. It was great. Thanks Mr. Bird. I clicked on the Subscribe button. See you at the next one.
I am currently reading your book The Christ Key because of a dream I had 2 weeks ago. I did not know you or your work prior. I had another recent experience regarding Melchizedek and also have vaguely heard of the name in the corners of my mind. I've never read the bible, and was not brought up religious despite being baptized Greek Orthodox. I have spent the past 4 days researching anything I could get my hands on about him and I see I have come full circle with your research paper. Thank you for your work and I am just flabbergasted at this point.
I want to Add to My Previous Comment as Far as More Research Material Regarding Melchizedek, Some of the Context of 11Q Relates in Wording to 'Pistis Sophia', He is Also Mentioned in 'the Sermon of Zoroaster', and 'the Paraphrase of Shem', and 'the Three Steeles of Shem' for Reference to Those Who are Interested.
If Melchizedek was different from the Son of God he could nevertheless be a "picture" of Him, a fore-shadow, like other persons in the Old Testament such as David = King, Shepherd, or Moses = Redeemer. Those scriptures from Hebrews 7 and Psalm 110 are worth to be learnt by heart which I will do this month. Well presented rich information. Interesting books in the background. Thank you. Regards from Germany.
He was God since he had no beginning or end.He was Jesus as was the one who wrestled Jacob or met Joshua as the captain. Jesus is God who would be born into the human race after.Jesus is God with us.He is the holy one of Israel.
That's dedication and very wise to memorize scripture. Are you in the habit of memorising passages of scripture, and how has that enriched your life? I commend you for being a strong Christian in a relatively God-less land like Germany where self-sufficiency has sadly led most people to become 'lean in spirit'.
Thank you for this. I thought people knew more about him and I only read his name, but it seems most of us hadn’t read much about him. It must’ve been a difficult thesis to write since very little is known or in evidence.
Thank you for this video. I love Melchizedek I feel that he is someone very important and God's kingdom and in my life. It would have been someone I would have loved to have met here in this world. So thank you for the video God bless
The being Melchizedek can be seen as an inner plane priest mediating divine power to those who are able to tune into the innerworld prescence of this profound and powerful being. In those older days it was accepted that there are beings who operate within the Imaginal realm and can be contacted through meditative practices, and Melchizedek is there, ever present. As you stated this being is described in Hebrews , without father or mother and as a direct mediator of Divinity . The imaginal reality of his otherworldly prescence is thus clearly defined and his authority and lineage confirmed. In esoteric tradition and practice it is important that imaginal beings are clearly defined in order that their signature or unique tuning can be preserved so that those who follow can access, communicate with and receive the divine energy mediated by such figures. Through the ages the attunement to this imaginal being is made easier by the repeated contact and mediation by priests who operate within the this particular esoteric tradition or stream of consciousness. The being of Melchizedek can thus be viewed as an innerworld or imaginal being concerned with mediating the energy of divine sovereign priesthood, a transmission which initiates of esoteric practice can tune into and resonate with.
Hi. Love that you did your Masters thesis on him! Great presentation. Thank you ..and for the link too! So do you think Melchizedek is possibly another name for Michael as Leader of our Heavenly Army? I think Hannah’s thesis in print “Michael and Christ” hints at the possibility. I’d have to go have a read again. He also used the apocryphal texts you refer to. God bless you! Glory to Christ!🤝❤️✝️
the Bread is mentioned first in Genesis, God told Adam he would need to work for his bread. In the wilderness God gives them bread from Heaven as a foreshadowing of Jesus coming. Jesus said I am the bread of life and he is also the Word of God and the Lord of the Sabbath, which actually means completion not rest as in tired physically. By following Jesus, we follow the Word of God and the Sabbath. In Jesus, we don’t have to work with « the sweat of our brow » or « gather manna from the field » Bread I think stands for an understanding of the Will of God. All the references to bread… really fascinating to study… Aaron was the only one allowed to eat the bread of presence, and he was the only one speaking to the people and communicating the Word of God, Moise asked God to make someone else hall to the people so it was always Aaron communicating the Word of God. The Apostles were breaking bread before sharing the Word of God.
Deuteronomy 29: 29 says the secret things belong to the Lord and those things are revealed are for our children and generations to come.I am going on what information I read from the Bible ,if it's in the Bible I want it,if it's not there,God will reveal it on that great and glorious day.
What are your thoughts on the theory that Melchizedek and Zarathustra were the same person? There is a fair amount of evidence for them being the same and it was three Zoroastrians that Gabriel told a savior was born into rather than three Hebrews.
Can you site any sources? I haven't heard this before and am not aware of any historical records link those two together. Likewise, I have not heard that the savior (of all) would be Persian. There are some texts that allude to Cyrus the great delivering Israel from Babylon, but not savior of the world
You just gave me an idea on how to name my UA-cam channel. It is 33. The year that Christ founded His Church, the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Thank you, God bless🙏🏻 Pray the Rosary 📿 Viva Cristo Rey!
The traditional belief, that he was Shem makes total sense as, Eber descended from Shem, Abraham came from Eber (Hebrew). Abraham may have already met and learned about God from the God-fearing Shem as it is posed that he had a school to teach about the One God. He passed on everything from from the beginning that his father Noah had passed onto him. Another reason, I think it is Shem is because he was King of Salem, later named Jerusalem which would show that God had originally assigned this to his future people Israel, not to Ham.
I did not realize Melchizedek was in the bible multiple times. Thank you for sharing about the writings that are not a part of the English Bible translation.
The way I've come to understand it, the kingship and priesthood of earth were represented by one man starting with Adam, and passed down along the line of patriarchs, (not the twelve patriarchs of Israel as the word is commonly associated) until the two offices were divided. The kings were to descend from the line of Judah, and the priests from the line of Levi. This was done by God, and he was very serious about the separation of the two, as is evidenced by the severe judgment of leprosy placed upon Uzziah for attempting to overstep his place as king by offering incense, something only a priest could do. The significance of the connection between Mechizedek and Jesus is that for the first time since God separated the two offices, the kingship of the entire world and the priesthood of the entire world would once again be embodied in one man. I'm of the opinion that Shem was indeed Mechizedek, and that he inherited the kingship/priesthood from his father, Noah. The apparent immortality that appears to be ascribed to him is actually dealing with the nature of the priesthood itself, and not the man himself, even though the ultimate expression of that priesthood would be the immortal God incarnate, Jesus Christ. Thanks for the video! I enjoyed it very much! I have been trying among my fellow Christians to advocate for the importance of study into extra biblical texts in order to gain a better understanding of the Word of God. It really opens up so much more rich meaning and understanding. God bless! : )
Very good explanation. You also see the two roles represented in the Messiah's two advents. In the first advent, He served in a priestly role, as an offering for sin once-for-all, and in His second advent, He will serve in a kingly role -- the former overcoming the flesh, the latter, the world and Satan, all 3 of which are the enemies of our soul. The nation of Israel was designated to be the vehicle for both, through which the Messiah would perform His work, and in the end times, Jerusalem will be the center of His earthly rule, both in the old Jerusalem and in the new.
I think it is important to note that Melchizedek is a title, not a name. It is an order of priesthood that apparently was established before Aaron's priesthood. It very well could have started with Adam through to Shem, stopping at the order of Aaron, until Christ. Christ brings a better covenant and reestablishes the Order of Melchizedek (the original priesthood) that pre-dates the order of Aaron (the substitute). It all speaks of redemption even in the priesthood. Revelation 1:6 " and hath made US kings and priests unto God and his Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever amen." Since Christ is in the order of Melchizidek and we are in Christ, we too are in the order of Melchizedek in Christ... as Kings and Priests.
On page 123 of your thesis, you state that the author of Hebrews "Hesitantly and partially agrees 'with his addresses...'" What evidence do we have for the word choice "hesitantly and partially"?
I think your conclusion that Paul (or author of Hebrews) is saying 'here is a list of things you have heard' is wrong. Starting in Hebrews 7:3 he is talking about the Priesthood (which was held by Melchizedek) not the person or rumors about the person. The string of withouts (at 16:15 in your video) is NOT a string of rumors about a person. It is a statement about the priesthood which is the topic. It is saying "His Priesthood' (the Melchizedek Priesthood) is without father, mother, genealogy, it was before the person Melchizedek and continues with him (and those who have received it) after this life (it doesn't end - it is permanent) Hebrew 7 is illustrating the need for a different priesthood. the Priesthood of Melchizedek is higher than the priesthood of Aaron / Levi - which priesthood DID require father, mother, genealogy and had a beginning and ends. The Levitiacl priesthood could not obtain perfection alone, and ends at death, so we needed a priest of a higher order which could make a better covenant and that Priest is Christ Jesus, who holds the same priesthood as Melchizedek, and therefore his priesthood continues forever (see Heb 7:23-24)
Mercy word has been sown Messiah word has been sown Hebrews 9:17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. 18 This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood. Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship.
Nice job Chad! Im no scholar , or a Christian , but I am a believer. Let God be true and every man a lair. So what do you think? Which one of these explanations of who Melchizedek is do you think is the correct one. I would love to know. Peace be with you.
Everything sounds good. Just the sources of Enoch. If it’s not in the Bible why reference it? Genesis 14, Psalm 110 and Hebrews are more than enough for us to understand who Melchizedek was. Shalom
You are telling us about the various speculations that the Biblical writers encountered concerning the lives of the past men and women of the Old Testament. I can appreciate this as I have done my own research. What I conclude is, Melchizedeq's attitude and actions were probably well known to Abraham and his followers to be the kind of reminder they needed to review in light of their knowledge of God and His eternal Covenant that would one day be fulfilled in His Son. Like we who believe and look back at the resurrection for "meaning and knowledge of God for eternal life, so did the patriarchs look forward in this promissory covenant for the same meaning, "to know God."
They have found what they believe was King David’s later to Melchizedek. It is in the city of David. It has also been shown that the first Temple was there also.
Remember God says my people perish for lack of knowledge if you don’t do your homework you won’t get a passing grade study to show that I self to be approved. Remember Psalms 23 thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thank you for this presentation and your research. It does seem quite powerful what Paul wrote in Hebrews about Melchizedek. Hebrews 5 is as powerful a statement as later written in Hebrews 7. Any news on the new scrolls found recently, whether more has been gleaned from them on this subject?
Then show us his MOTHER or FATHER in TORAH. ... dont be silly. It's NOT MENTIONED AT ALL, and the New Testament simply eludes to the FACT that it is NOT mentioned. Good grief. Blindness is real among so many of you. Blinded to the most basic of things.
Jesus Christ is the only BEGOTTEN Son of God (John 3:16). So, Melchisedec was not the BEGOTTEN Son of God. Jesus was the Word of God, Who became the form of a flesh man (John 1:1 & John 1:14). So, Jesus is known to transform. Anything Jesus said on earth, was a part of the overall Word of God to be given. We don't have any writings from Melchisedec, nor do we see others writing about him having written anything. For example, we did see people write about Solomon's other writings that are not shown in the 66 books of the canon. If Melchisedec did write anything, those writings were either destroyed or are hidden. In either case, it's likely that the same things that he wrote about (primarily lost now) have been brought forth, secondarily, through others, after him. Meaning, we very well could have the parts of the Word of God, originally-conveyed through Melchisedec, now written down from others, without anything being lost. There are many sources inside and outside of the canon that say he did live and those sources describe him as being a High Priest, of the Highest known order, who followed the will of the Lord. Regarding Melchisedec's life having "no beginning and no ending": only God and time are that way. So, he had to be an ANGELLIC FORM OF JESUS (Dan. 3:25), similar to the situation in Gen. 19:1-3, where angels visited earth, as men. We know that angels do not marry, so they must not be designed to procreate. Or, they aren't allowed to, if they can, for some unknown reason. Since Melchisedec had no parents or lineage, he was certainly like an angel, in that way alone. Also, from that one way, he was like God (God not having yet begotten Jesus Christ in man form, at that time). As well, Melchisedec was said to have never mortally died. Therefore, he could not be human, since a flesh body would've had to decay and only Enoch and Elijah never mortally died (short of everyone alive today). God would've then created him as a fully-developed, angel child (just as Jesus began preaching as a child), just as God created Adam (already as a man). This second creation, done in that non-birthed manner, would be like a second Adam then. It's very interesting that Jesus is known to be the second Adam (1 Cor. 15:45-47). What do Jesus and Melchisedec have in common? The High Priesthood and a form of Lordship/Kingship (Melchisedec, being an angel of the Lord and the King of Salem/Peace). For Melchisedec to go from a child to a man implies that angels can grow-up, from a child, to an adult. We do know that their bodies can become physical in this realm and eat physical foods. We also know that eating fattens and grows a body, symbolic as to how fed-calves in the stall can grow-up, from feeding on the Word of God: hearing and doing God's will (Gen. 19:3 & Mal. 4:2). The bigger the angel then, the more it has been fed: the more it has done of God's will. This is how angels can be of different heights. We know that angels are creations of God and that they have a different physical body than humans, since they can be seen or unseen. They also transfer between the Flesh Realm and Spirit Realm. It's also interesting that Melchisedec was described as being a man, but was never described as having any wings. However, angel wings can seemingly be kept unseen, just as the angels in Gen. 19:5 were also described by the people, as being "men". Further, angels can be wholly seen or wholly unseen. So, to be partially unseen is not at all impossible, for God, as many things in His plan have a range of amounts. Whether their wings were shown or not does not actually matter, as the angel-men in Gen. 19 were both known to be angels and still looked like the image of men/God. The same can apply to Melchisedec. For wings to not be described does not mean that he was not an angel. Hebrews 13:2 tells us that we have entertained angels and didn't even know it. It's important to note that the same Book of Hebrews also describes Melchisedec (Heb.7:1-3). Lastly, he's said to have been created with a "Badge of Priesthood" on his chest. Priests minister and we know angels do too. Being a ministering angel, this "badge" then would've been a small shield on a child. This would mean that angels are created with a minimum level of sanctification credited to them already: designed and recognized to be sufficient in immediately serving God. Angels give protection to the heirs to inherit salvation by issuing a level of the Armor of God. They issue partial or whole armor, depending on how much the heir they minister to has done. The "eating" and "badge" topics would tell us then that the angels graduate from badges to full-sized shields (both the same shape), as the angel does more of God's will and grows. So, angels are then appropriately-assigned to an heir, properly-pairing the sanctification level of the angel to the human's. The angel who has done some partially protects the heir who has also done some. The angel who has done all, protects the heir who has done all. So, the ministeeing angel then grows in sanctifination, as their assigned human does. This further tells us that Melchisedec was an angel of the Lord, who grew in sanctification, to found and protect Salem (which would come to be called JeruSALEM). This would show us that some of the divine forms of God are: 1) The Father 2) The Holy Spirit 3) Begotten Son of God (Jesus Christ: the Word) 4) Melchisedec (the Holy Spirit in a visible angel body) You know, Jesus was a man. He was also the Word. The Word is written, for us to read. The Holy Spirit can Comfort. He can give Peace. God can be in the form of blessings we recieve. God can be seen when looking at a sunset with beautiful clouds. He can be seen in the faces of people. He is a Prince, a King, a Creator, a Servent, a Priest, a Teacher, a Healer... He can take-on many forms and is everywhere, because He is the Almighty! To conclude, Melchisedec must have been the non-begotten Son of God, in a physical, angel body on earth, without the appearence of wings. After all, angels do preach in this realm, at the very end of this age, and Melchisedec was a priest (Rev. 14:6). Further, angels are to protect us and Melchisedec founded Salem, as the King of Peace (Heb. 7:2): over God's protected chosen. May God's loving will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven (Matt. 6:10).
I just caught it that melkisedik was born out of death . Death had no power over him. Do you see how the priesthood came first. Establish priesthood then establish Kingdom. Priest and king. No division. Same guy priest and king. King of righteousness King of peace king of both light and dark. Ruler of rulers.
Interesting account of what was originally diverse oral mythology and tradition of bronze age religious anthropology in the Levant, and how this person morphed into varied roles in different generations and evolving religious traditions. But it's just that, mythology and tradition, though fascinating as it changed over time.
1) To me, it is obvious, but like some things in Scripture, it is not required for all to know it, such as Jesus saying "to whomever can receive it, let him receive it" as He did with John the Baptist being the Elijah to come. Why then, do some Christians think Elijah is one of the 2 witnesses when Jesus made it clear that Elijah has ALREADY come? Because not all can receive His saying and something go over certain people's heads. Now ... for Melchizedek: 2) Melchizedek has neither beginning of days, nor ending. *That is in reference to ETERNALITY,* for Jesus also has neither beginning nor ending. 3) *Melchizedek is the King of Salem.* It is a disturbing lie to read Jewish and Christian Commentaries that insert "Jerusalem." No. There is nothing about the CITY of Peace. There is literally nothing in the Text that says "Jeru-salem". Nothing. That is an insertion of man, and the blind leaders who don't know the difference. There is only "peace" (Salem - shalom) written in the Text. In fact, there is no city mentioned at all. PEACE is intangible. You cannot see or touch it. 4) *Melchizedek is the King of Righteousness.* How can a mortal man be the KING of Righteousness!? Only GOD can have such a title! It would be blasphemy to give a title that belongs only to God, to mortal men! 5) *There is literally no such thing as the "priesthood" of Melchisedek.* That is literally never written. It does not exist in the Text. Saying there is a "priesthood" of Melchizedek is as much an insertion and an error (intentional or otherwise) as inserting 'Jerusalem' into the Text when the Text clearly says "Salem" only. There is, likewise, NO mention of any other priests or successors, NO mention of any Temple, NO mention of any 3b & 4b & 5B) "My Kingdom is NOT of this world" - Jesus 6) *Melchizedek is both King and High Priest.* No one else can be both. No king can also be high priest, and no high priest can also be king. ONLY Melchizedek was this, and ONLY Jesus is this. 7) *His very name means KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS* Do you not hear the blasphemy in that, to call a mere mortal, the KING over RIGHTEOUSNESS!? The very NAME is DIVINE! FAST FORWARD TO THE NEW TESTAMENT 8) *The author of Hebrews mentions things that a sacred to the Jews, showing hos Jesus is GREATER than all of the things, but when it comes to Melchizedek, the author does NOT show Jesus as being GREATER, but instead, he shows Jesus as being {EQUAL} to Melchizedek.* When you read the surrounding Chapters in that light, it becomes clear that the one thing the author does not make Jesus "greater than," is Melchizedek. But instead, he considers Jesus to be "equal to." 8) *The author is holding something back about Melchizedek.* He says that there are things he wants to tell them about Melchizedek, but they are all too weak and unspiritual and unlearned. He even complains about their spiritual immaturity - rebukes them for it, even. So, the question is, WHAT is it that the author wants to tell the saints about Melchizedek? That he is GOD in the flesh? That he is Christ (Christophany)? And why is this so hard to imagine? Did not Jacob wrestle with a MAN that he called GOD? Did not three MEN visit Abraham of whom he called his Lord, Yahweh? 10) *Because the greater always blesses the lessor.* It is firmly established and considered that Abraham was the most righteous man alive in those days. So, if he was the MOST righteous, what in the world could be MORE Righteous than the MOST righteous? Only GOD! The greater blessed the lessor. 11) And this one, to me, seals the deal. *ABRAHAM GAVE TO MELCHIZEDEK WHAT {{BELONGS}} TO GOD! HE GAVE HIM THE TITHE!* You cannot give what belongs to God to anything else! And no righteous man would take what belongs to God unto himself. It would be robbery, perhaps sin! So, why does Abraham, who knew better, give what belongs to GOD, to a moral man? It is for the same reason Abraham went running off to three strangers, bowed, and call them his master! Melchizedek has to be GOD!
Mr.Bird, it is so refreshing to encounter someone who gives such a well rounded presentation of a topic shrouded in mystery, as that of Melchizedek, thank you, well done.
Hmmm. I disagree that Melchizedek isn't Jesus for a few reasons: 1. The Holy Spirit inspires the writing of the Scriptures. Why would God speak like this?.... running down rumors and comparing Jesus to local "folklore"? Unless there is serious significance to Melchizedek, being mentioned by Moses, David then in Hebrews. 2. If we believe the encounter of Abraham and Melchizedek to be historical fact... then we must believe the things being said about him as well... 3. If Melchizedek can never die, and a person made a priest after this order is primarily because of its permanency.. that would HAVE to mean Melchizedek still exists somewhere... since he couldn't die... AND he would have to STILL be a priest.... because by definition that's what being a priest after this order means. Your position is permanent because you have no ending. 4. So then, do we have TWO priests in this permanent priedthood?..... Melchizedek that Abraham encountered and then Jesus??? 5. Either Melchizedek was a human that died and they attributed his myth to Jesus.. in order to help us understand Jesus' priesthood....OR...Melchizedek was Jesus in the Old Testament. It's more plausible that Melchizedek was Jesus in the Old Testament. Being said to have the exact characteristics..... no beginning or ending.... no father or mother. These are attributes of God. Jesus existed in the beginning. Being the very thing THROUGH WHICH the Earth was created. So then why would it be so hard for it to have been Jesus? Of course not known as Jesus but by the other titles we know him to be..... THE WORD OR LOGOS. When did Melchizedek cease being on the Earth? Did his priesthood just disappear or end? when there's a change of priesthood there's also a chance of covenant. So then, could it be when Moses and his people accepted God's covenant... this is where the priesthood change happened? Not that Melchizedek ceased being a priest... but being a person of the Godhead manifested in human form like Christ, went back to heaven? And with God dwelling amongst his people he temporary appoints Aaron and his sons to take on the task? Kinda like when Jesus said if I don't go then the Holy Spirit can't come. Not that God is incapable of being in two places at once... but there is a change in covenant. The Holy Spirit now has a work to do in the Earth. If we can believe that Enoch was the 1st human taken alive to heaven because he pleased God, and alln of the other incredible things scripture recounts....it's not too extreme to suggest Melchizedek was a manifestation of the LOGOS.... here not yet being the "Son Of God"...having not yet been conceived into Mary.... being only known to them by what he actually is.. THE WORD. Just my take on it.
He just doesn’t want to read what it says. Hebrews 7 slashes the Aaronic priesthood for the fact that the priests died, but if Jesus is the perfect priesthood, then Melchizedek must live forever and is said to live in the present tense twice earlier in the chapter. Also, Galatian 4 tells the allegory of the bond woman and the free woman in comparison to the Jerusalem on earth and the Jerusalem above which is free. I’m t would stand to reason that since Jesus is the priest after Melchizedek, and his covenant is of the Jerusalem above, then Melchizedek was the king of the city Jerusalem above, making him, well, God himself. However, lot of scholarly academic theologians have this false model of God that would come crashing down if Melchizedek is an incarnation of God.
This was absolutely fascinating. Often in church we gloss over the Order of Melchizedek and don’t really discuss what it is. I’m delving deeper and look forward to reading your thesis. Blessing.
In church we gloss over a lot. I received a healing from a beautiful young lady Madeline Eve! 💕Which lead me to Saint Germain, Melchizedek, Paul Selig. And my life will never be the Same. GOD is here! And he will make himself known if we ask.
I have a question about this. You say something to the effect that what the author of Hebrews is doing is simply echoing common rumors about Melchizedek, not attempting to lay claim to their validity and in this way, he is like the Son of God. However, if this is the case, then what does that same process say about Christ's priesthood? Is the author trying to tell the readers that not everything that is written about Jesus is true? I'm trying to follow the logic of this... it isn't making sense to me. I'm a bit slow about "getting" things sometimes. It seems to me that if Jesus tells us to pray, "Your Kingdom come, your will be done on Earth, just as it is in Heaven" it suggests (to me) that Melchizedek would have already been a priest in Heaven before Canaan, thus, he laid the foundation for an Earthly Priesthood, being the first Priest from God to bless mankind (break curses). If that is how it really is, then it is easy for me to see the correlation between Christ's Eternal Priesthood and that of Melchizedek. Because then, Melchizedek and Jesus both came from Heaven. It reminds me of later on when Hebrews tells the readers to "entertain strangers" for by doing so, many have entertained Angels unaware. Very interesting indeed.
Do you or anyone in the comments here have an opinion on how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints view Melchizedek? The men in the church can become elders at the age of 18 and receive the Melchizedek priesthood giving them authority to officiate and give blessings within the church and their families.
And Adonizedk king of Jerusalem, the Same was Shem, went out with his men to meet Abram and his people with bread and wine, and they remained together in the valley of Melech. Jasher 16: 11
Melchizadek is an order. The one with no father or mother was Adam. The one Abraham gave tithe to was Shem, and the last one is our Messiah Yehoshua. I think it was passed down until the order was split into the line of Judah as king and the line of Levi as priest until they were reunited in our Savior. It might have gone like this, Adam, Seth, Enoch, Methuselah, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Jacob and then split or something to that effect. Not one person. An order or line of people, rather.
Could it be that melkisedik is an example of a man who is so committed to the lord that they have been transformed into the image of yeshua not above not below but a mirror image of yeshua a priest and a king.
I enjoyed the analysis and history. Melchizedek is a fascinating person, more is to be learned. His priesthood was without beginning or end, not his person. And he held the high priesthood, not the lower priesthood, like Aaron did later on. Thus, Abraham sought out Melchizedek to give him tithes and to obtain that high priesthood also, under the hand of Melchizedek.
Thank you for your very well explained background to biblical interpretation. We often interpret the Scriptures in regard to the traditions of Jewish culture, but we forget to realize that there were documents and mystical traditions as well...I never would have thought of this, and it is a real eye opener. It helps when i read in Jude his reference to Satan debating with Moses, which is from the book of Enoch ( which is not in the reformed canon )....So, this has been very helpful, and beautifully presented. I thank you very much. God bless you brother.
Incredible! I’ve asked my pastor about Melchizedek and he said, “good luck with that!” I appreciate you sharing your insights regarding this subject, but I’m going to have to listen to this at least 37 more times before I have any idea regarding this interesting subject. Thank you!
@@Call.Him.Emmanuel He briefly touches on that. Paul was a Jew and longed to convert the Jews when he could, this was an instance where he was using the reference to "relate" to their culture, as a jew to the jews.
The Urantia book says Melchizedek was sent to reestablish God's word as pre[paration for the coming of Christ. The references to God speaking with Abraham were actually of Melchizedek but, apart from one passage, were later switched out by the priests who didn't want any figure to eclipse the patriarch's status.
Is it heretical to think Isaac was born by divine conception? The Bible seems to say that G-d himself visited Sarah and gave her Isaac. And then goes on to recount the near sacrifice of G-d’s could-be son.
The Essenes were waiting for the Messiah Melchizedek. Priest of the Most High God what does a Priest do ? He sacrificed Himself, Holy Jesus Christ is Melchizedek even the Gnostic writings reveal Jesus as Melchizedek. Holy Jesus told us before Abraham was I am and Abraham was happy to see my day it can't get clearer than that
*Melchisedec order* God's interpretation in Hebrews 7 clearly reveals who Melchisedec is to the New testament saints. We don't have to follow the Genealogy of Melchisedec since the writer of Hebrews have started mentioning Melchisedec from Chapter 5 & 6 quoting from Psalms 110. Melchisedec is not a type of Christ but Christ is sworn and ordained after the order of Melchisedec by God in Psalms 110 in eternity. This prophetical ordination concerning Christ is again mentioned in Hebrews chapter 5:5 to the begotten Son of God, which is to say to the Resurrected Christ (Psalms 2:7 & Acts 13:33) The prophecy of Hebrews 5:6 concerning Christ gets fulfilled in Hebrews 6:19 & 20 as He entered within the eternal veil. Before entering Into the eternal veil, Jesus was the forerunner and in entering, God's eternal Ordination after the order of Melchisedec fulfilled. Today we've a mediator (Hebrews 8:6)who's with an excellent ministry established in better promises or prophecies (Psalms 110) Law, Levitical priesthood, Animal sacrifices & blood, brings no perfection but God's begotten Son who is after the order of Melchisedec as our High priest, mediator and intercessor(Hebrews 7:25 & 26) is able to save to the uttermost. Many excellent things are mentioned of Jesus Christ who is after Melchisedec's eternal order. God's prophecy in Psalms 2:7 and 110:4 was only for Christ alone which the Hebrews writer clearly highlighted in Hebrews 5:4. Begotten(Resurrected) Son of God is made a High priest after the order of Melchisedec and not the Apostles. Only the glorified Christ our forerunner after He entered into the eternal veil was made a high priest after the order of Melchisedec and not before that while Jesus was in earth (Hebrews 8:1-4). Hebrews 7:14-17, the scripture talks not only about the evidence, but yet far more evdient: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec ariseth after the power of an endless life another priest Jesus Christ, whom God testifieth after the order of Melchisedec. These verses confirmed that Melchisedec is the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ received no old testament Genealogies ordination since He's after the power of an endless life and after the similitude of Melchisedec The Holy Ghost of God the Testifieth. Hallelujah. Study from God, about The Begotten Son of God & The order of Melchisedec and not from the theologians and Hebrew Dictionary. Praying in the Holy Ghost in tongues, God's mysteries will be revealed whose name is to be blessed. Many excellent things are written about Melchisedec in the Holy Scripture.
Melchizedek of Genesis 14 is JESUS CHRIST before He came to the Cross. JESUS IS PRIEST OF GOD MOST HIGH. HE IS THE KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. KING OF SALEM!
The Dead Sea scrolls and Nag Ham speak of Melchizedek. Melchizedek is a celestial being that materialized upon the face of the planet earth to uplift humanity. The Melchizedek order and being is spoken about within the papers of the Urantia Book.
This is so powerful I have been born again for decades but had no full understanding of this king and High priest , my eyes are filled with tears once again thank you just subscribed to your channel
The reason Jesus is after the order of melchizedek is because Melchizedek was born by gods seed as well as Jesus,but Jesus sacrificed his life for humanity and that's why he's greater.also Jesus appears to Abraham in earthly form before destroying Sodom and Gomorrah and Abraham called him lord not Melchizedek.
Can it be just coincidence that Melchisedek spoke to Abram then the Lord in a flesh body spoke to the now Abraham (no more Abram)The Lord and two of his angels appeared to Abraham in flesh bodies(although they were God and angels)Through the holy spirit I believe that Melchisedek and the Lord was one and the same.The bible does not spell it out neither dismiss the possibility and that is one of the reasons we christians need the holy so much because through the holy spirit secrets are revealed,the bible do say that scripture cannot be understood without the spirit of God helping us to understand.That is why the pharisees persecuted Jesus because they did not (understand)the scripture they knew and memorized so well.
How about the pagan perspective that he was actually a priest of an entirely different deity than Yahweh as Melchizedek was connected to Elyon who is a different deity within the old pantheon the Christian deity was extracted from and subsequently destroyed access to? Yahweh was subservient to Elyon so in truth this older deity was higher than the deity that jesus proclaimed to be the son of
That was awesome info, question though, What about when jesus said i broke bread with abraham? As to him being melchizedek? because who else that it was written that broke bread with abraham?
Great show. I also have found Melchezedek fascinating over the years. I have a hard time wrapping my head around this figure. However I dont trust Enoch book 2 & 3, so I have to throw that out. But the rest of your prsentation is great. Thank you. I still dont understand who Melchiszdek is but will keep praying for understanding
Hebrews sets out from the start, to answer questions that Jewish believers (or potential believers) had about the Messiah. The various myths that had developed over the centuries about who the Messiah was and how he would manifest, had become excepted as almost as equal to scriptural truths. Therefore, the author of the book of Hebrews begins the first few chapters by explaining that Jesus was 'greater than the angels, greater than 'Moses', 'greater than Abraham', and of course 'greater than Melchizedek'.
Another important point is that in Jewish Law, a man could not hold the office of a priest and be king at the same time, so the fact that Jesus was being preached as both a King and a priest, would have raised some questions, so the book of Hebrews shows us a man who was the 'King' of Salem but also 'priest' of the God most High, showing that it was only those who held the office of the Aaronic priesthood that were barred from holding the position of King. So, Jesus was the 'King of Israel' and the 'High priest of our confession', and since His priesthood was of 'the order of Melchizedek' it was not breaking Jewish law.
not only have I successfully deciphered who this Melchizedek is but also Nimrod and all I got to say is you will be blown away at their unveiling.... scholars and historians don't even know this... I sought and I found, dammit did I find......
Thank you so much for your highly enlightening and interesting talks. I really appreciate your channel and am very grateful to have discovered and subscribed to it.
Thank you for taking the time to extensively explore further, the Way of GOD’S TRUTHS AND LIGHT… EXCITING TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE LORD BAITS US ALL… in JOY AND INCLUSION IN HIS PROMISES … JESUS, OUR REDEEMER AND HIS MOTHER MARY… truly hold you in Filial Esteem ! Thank you for sharing 🥰
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you so much for this video! The mystery Melchizedek is definitely intriguing and I'm grateful to have learned more from you. Again thank you. Peace be with you and God bless you 🙏
Jesus was the Son of Man. Adam was the Son of God. Adam had neither father or mother or genealogy or beginning of days. Could Melchizadek be another "Adam" figure?
![Lord of Spirits - According to the order of Melchizedek [Ep. 27]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZpCtrFKFK0g/mqdefault.jpg)
I was praying. I asked God why He nolonger speaks to us. Why we nolonger see angels. I told Him i stoped reading the bible reason being it has been changed so much. I told him i know all the names people call Him by but i would like to know who really He is. I told Him am afraid to read the bible and Chirstianity with these early pastors they have turned it into a joke yet go unpunished. So am afraid to partake in a lie thinking it's write. I had recited this prayer for so long but today as i kept asking God if is there atleast some truth that remained unchanged in the bible. Then a voice said melchizedec. Now i had no idea where it was but i knew somewhere at the end of the bible. I never checked at that time i kept asking God to speak to me opening some books of the old testament. Then i turned to new testament a page opened about Melchizedec. I prayed and thanked God. Then i took my phone to youtube to see if anyone ever wondered about this figure. To me i believe God was showing me His truth who He is. The beginning and the end. No mother no father. Withought genealogy. King of salem. King of peace. El and Elohim. Today has changed my life and you revealed more. God bless you. I don't call on anyone to believe or debate but i know what i know
It's clear as day, Melchizedek is the Great I AM in the old testament. Our Lord has always came in flesh to visit His people. Our LORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. HALLELUJAH & AMEN
Its interesting he uses Bread and Wine ceremonially in what appears to be an act of communion long before the last super.
The Jews had a tradition of using bread and wine ceremonially long before Jesus. Jesus says "as often as you do this" indicating they already did it. He was reinterpreting an existing tradition, not inventing a new one.
Foreshadowing.
We are convinced that's it is the "order" of Melchizedek. It is not one man, it is a title. The Melchizedek does not have a beginning, end, or genealogy. It is the line of the messiah.
Best comprehensive talk I have heard on the subject so far
I shared some of what I learned from you with my Sunday school class yesterday morning. They went wild. "Mel who?" haha oh man! We spun off on that for 20 minutes they tore their bibles up looking for Melchizedek. It was great. Thanks Mr. Bird. I clicked on the Subscribe button. See you at the next one.
I am currently reading your book The Christ Key because of a dream I had 2 weeks ago. I did not know you or your work prior. I had another recent experience regarding Melchizedek and also have vaguely heard of the name in the corners of my mind. I've never read the bible, and was not brought up religious despite being baptized Greek Orthodox. I have spent the past 4 days researching anything I could get my hands on about him and I see I have come full circle with your research paper. Thank you for your work and I am just flabbergasted at this point.
PRAISE THE LORD PSALM 150!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR WORK!
THANK YOU!
I want to Add to My Previous Comment as Far as More Research Material Regarding Melchizedek, Some of the Context of 11Q Relates in Wording to 'Pistis Sophia', He is Also Mentioned in 'the Sermon of Zoroaster', and 'the Paraphrase of Shem', and 'the Three Steeles of Shem' for Reference to Those Who are Interested.
If Melchizedek was different from the Son of God he could nevertheless be a "picture" of Him, a fore-shadow, like other persons in the Old Testament such as David = King, Shepherd, or Moses = Redeemer. Those scriptures from Hebrews 7 and Psalm 110 are worth to be learnt by heart which I will do this month. Well presented rich information. Interesting books in the background. Thank you. Regards from Germany.
He was God since he had no beginning or end.He was Jesus as was the one who wrestled Jacob or met Joshua as the captain. Jesus is God who would be born into the human race after.Jesus is God with us.He is the holy one of Israel.
"Melchizedek was different from the Son of God", John 4:37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
That's dedication and very wise to memorize scripture. Are you in the habit of memorising passages of scripture, and how has that enriched your life? I commend you for being a strong Christian in a relatively God-less land like Germany where self-sufficiency has sadly led most people to become 'lean in spirit'.
Oh and don't forget Joseph as a type of Christ who I would say was a saviour to his brothers and therefore the Hebrew people= saviour.
And then there’s John 8 54-57 he says he knows abraham zero context of how he just says before abraham I AM
Thank you for this. I thought people knew more about him and I only read his name, but it seems most of us hadn’t read much about him. It must’ve been a difficult thesis to write since very little is known or in evidence.
Thank you for this video. I love Melchizedek I feel that he is someone very important and God's kingdom and in my life. It would have been someone I would have loved to have met here in this world. So thank you for the video God bless
Amen
Indeed.
Thank you for the link to download your Thesis.
Thank you. Your presentation cleared up the confusion I had on the Priesthood differences.
Most satisfying explanation♥️
I was with you once before. Abraham longed to see my day!
Melchizedek is very interesting subject to learn.. i think he was the most mysterious person in the Bible..
He is God.
Thankyou so much for this interesting lecture.
The being Melchizedek can be seen as an inner plane priest mediating divine power to those who are able to tune into the innerworld prescence of this profound and powerful being. In those older days it was accepted that there are beings who operate within the Imaginal realm and can be contacted through meditative practices, and Melchizedek is there, ever present. As you stated this being is described in Hebrews , without father or mother and as a direct mediator of Divinity . The imaginal reality of his otherworldly prescence is thus clearly defined and his authority and lineage confirmed. In esoteric tradition and practice it is important that imaginal beings are clearly defined in order that their signature or unique tuning can be preserved so that those who follow can access, communicate with and receive the divine energy mediated by such figures. Through the ages the attunement to this imaginal being is made easier by the repeated contact and mediation by priests who operate within the this particular esoteric tradition or stream of consciousness. The being of Melchizedek can thus be viewed as an innerworld or imaginal being concerned with mediating the energy of divine sovereign priesthood, a transmission which initiates of esoteric practice can tune into and resonate with.
Hi. Love that you did your Masters thesis on him! Great presentation. Thank you ..and for the link too! So do you think Melchizedek is possibly another name for Michael as Leader of our Heavenly Army? I think Hannah’s thesis in print “Michael and Christ” hints at the possibility. I’d have to go have a read again. He also used the apocryphal texts you refer to. God bless you! Glory to Christ!🤝❤️✝️
I always thought Melchizedek was Seth because there could be only one high priest at a time?
the Bread is mentioned first in Genesis, God told Adam he would need to work for his bread. In the wilderness God gives them bread from Heaven as a foreshadowing of Jesus coming. Jesus said I am the bread of life and he is also the Word of God and the Lord of the Sabbath, which actually means completion not rest as in tired physically. By following Jesus, we follow the Word of God and the Sabbath. In Jesus, we don’t have to work with « the sweat of our brow » or « gather manna from the field » Bread I think stands for an understanding of the Will of God.
All the references to bread… really fascinating to study… Aaron was the only one allowed to eat the bread of presence, and he was the only one speaking to the people and communicating the Word of God, Moise asked God to make someone else hall to the people so it was always Aaron communicating the Word of God. The Apostles were breaking bread before sharing the Word of God.
I really fascinating the significance of.melchizedek
Amazing thank you.✝️💟🙏🏽
Deuteronomy 29: 29 says the secret things belong to the Lord and those things are revealed are for our children and generations to come.I am going on what information I read from the Bible ,if it's in the Bible I want it,if it's not there,God will reveal it on that great and glorious day.
What are your thoughts on the theory that Melchizedek and Zarathustra were the same person? There is a fair amount of evidence for them being the same and it was three Zoroastrians that Gabriel told a savior was born into rather than three Hebrews.
Can you site any sources? I haven't heard this before and am not aware of any historical records link those two together. Likewise, I have not heard that the savior (of all) would be Persian. There are some texts that allude to Cyrus the great delivering Israel from Babylon, but not savior of the world
They lived more than a thousand years apart
You just gave me an idea on how to name my UA-cam channel. It is 33. The year that Christ founded His Church, the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Thank you,
God bless🙏🏻

The traditional belief, that he was Shem makes total sense as, Eber descended from Shem, Abraham came from Eber (Hebrew).
Abraham may have already met and learned about God from the God-fearing Shem as it is posed that he had a school to teach about the One God. He passed on everything from from the beginning that his father Noah had passed onto him.
Another reason, I think it is Shem is because he was King of Salem, later named Jerusalem which would show that God had originally assigned this to his future people Israel, not to Ham.
I did not realize Melchizedek was in the bible multiple times. Thank you for sharing about the writings that are not a part of the English Bible translation.
Thank you may the lord bless you.
The way I've come to understand it, the kingship and priesthood of earth were represented by one man starting with Adam, and passed down along the line of patriarchs, (not the twelve patriarchs of Israel as the word is commonly associated) until the two offices were divided. The kings were to descend from the line of Judah, and the priests from the line of Levi. This was done by God, and he was very serious about the separation of the two, as is evidenced by the severe judgment of leprosy placed upon Uzziah for attempting to overstep his place as king by offering incense, something only a priest could do. The significance of the connection between Mechizedek and Jesus is that for the first time since God separated the two offices, the kingship of the entire world and the priesthood of the entire world would once again be embodied in one man. I'm of the opinion that Shem was indeed Mechizedek, and that he inherited the kingship/priesthood from his father, Noah. The apparent immortality that appears to be ascribed to him is actually dealing with the nature of the priesthood itself, and not the man himself, even though the ultimate expression of that priesthood would be the immortal God incarnate, Jesus Christ.
Thanks for the video! I enjoyed it very much! I have been trying among my fellow Christians to advocate for the importance of study into extra biblical texts in order to gain a better understanding of the Word of God. It really opens up so much more rich meaning and understanding. God bless! : )
thanks for sharing your insight in regard to dividing en bringing together the two roles of kingship/priesthood
Yeah really insightful.
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏
Very good explanation. You also see the two roles represented in the Messiah's two advents. In the first advent, He served in a priestly role, as an offering for sin once-for-all, and in His second advent, He will serve in a kingly role -- the former overcoming the flesh, the latter, the world and Satan, all 3 of which are the enemies of our soul. The nation of Israel was designated to be the vehicle for both, through which the Messiah would perform His work, and in the end times, Jerusalem will be the center of His earthly rule, both in the old Jerusalem and in the new.
Thank you for your sharing your studies.
I think it is important to note that Melchizedek is a title, not a name. It is an order of priesthood that apparently was established before Aaron's priesthood. It very well could have started with Adam through to Shem, stopping at the order of Aaron, until Christ. Christ brings a better covenant and reestablishes the Order of Melchizedek (the original priesthood) that pre-dates the order of Aaron (the substitute). It all speaks of redemption even in the priesthood.
Revelation 1:6 " and hath made US kings and priests unto God and his Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever amen." Since Christ is in the order of Melchizidek and we are in Christ, we too are in the order of Melchizedek in Christ... as Kings and Priests.
Thank you!
On page 123 of your thesis, you state that the author of Hebrews "Hesitantly and partially agrees 'with his addresses...'" What evidence do we have for the word choice "hesitantly and partially"?
I think your conclusion that Paul (or author of Hebrews) is saying 'here is a list of things you have heard' is wrong. Starting in Hebrews 7:3 he is talking about the Priesthood (which was held by Melchizedek) not the person or rumors about the person.
The string of withouts (at 16:15 in your video) is NOT a string of rumors about a person. It is a statement about the priesthood which is the topic. It is saying "His Priesthood' (the Melchizedek Priesthood) is without father, mother, genealogy, it was before the person Melchizedek and continues with him (and those who have received it) after this life (it doesn't end - it is permanent)
Hebrew 7 is illustrating the need for a different priesthood. the Priesthood of Melchizedek is higher than the priesthood of Aaron / Levi - which priesthood DID require father, mother, genealogy and had a beginning and ends. The Levitiacl priesthood could not obtain perfection alone, and ends at death, so we needed a priest of a higher order which could make a better covenant and that Priest is Christ Jesus, who holds the same priesthood as Melchizedek, and therefore his priesthood continues forever (see Heb 7:23-24)
Thank you.
very interesting. thank you!
Mercy word has been sown
Messiah word has been sown
Hebrews 9:17
because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.
18 This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.
Romans 12:1
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship.
Thanks. Great job.
Thank you for explaining the scriptures in such a timely manner.,
Chuck Missler has mentioned this. Could Melchizedek be the Holy Spirit.
Nice job Chad! Im no scholar , or a Christian , but I am a believer. Let God be true and every man a lair. So what do you think? Which one of these explanations of who Melchizedek is do you think is the correct one. I would love to know. Peace be with you.
Everything sounds good. Just the sources of Enoch. If it’s not in the Bible why reference it? Genesis 14, Psalm 110 and Hebrews are more than enough for us to understand who Melchizedek was. Shalom
That was always amazing to me! Forever a priest in the oder!
You are telling us about the various speculations that the Biblical writers encountered concerning the lives of the past men and women of the Old Testament. I can appreciate this as I have done my own research. What I conclude is, Melchizedeq's attitude and actions were probably well known to Abraham and his followers to be the kind of reminder they needed to review in light of their knowledge of God and His eternal Covenant that would one day be fulfilled in His Son. Like we who believe and look back at the resurrection for "meaning and knowledge of God for eternal life, so did the patriarchs look forward in this promissory covenant for the same meaning, "to know God."
Aside what has been canonized by God in our hand, never ever regard any other books outside of Scriptures.
Anyone know this guy's name? I'd like to see if his Masters Thesis on Melchizedek is available online somewhere...
They have found what they believe was King David’s later to Melchizedek. It is in the city of David. It has also been shown that the first Temple was there also.
Remember God says my people perish for lack of knowledge if you don’t do your homework you won’t get a passing grade study to show that I self to be approved. Remember Psalms 23 thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thank you for this presentation and your research. It does seem quite powerful what Paul wrote in Hebrews about Melchizedek. Hebrews 5 is as powerful a statement as later written in Hebrews 7. Any news on the new scrolls found recently, whether more has been gleaned from them on this subject?
New scrolls found?
Only the New testament say he had no mother or father I rather stick to the Torah truth
Then show us his MOTHER or FATHER in TORAH.
... dont be silly. It's NOT MENTIONED AT ALL, and the New Testament simply eludes to the FACT that it is NOT mentioned.
Good grief. Blindness is real among so many of you. Blinded to the most basic of things.
Y'all never mention the Urantia Book? Melchizedek is even an author there..
Personally, that's insulting
Michael Jeremy Leavitt
Jesus Christ is the only BEGOTTEN Son of God (John 3:16). So, Melchisedec was not the BEGOTTEN Son of God. Jesus was the Word of God, Who became the form of a flesh man (John 1:1 & John 1:14). So, Jesus is known to transform. Anything Jesus said on earth, was a part of the overall Word of God to be given.
We don't have any writings from Melchisedec, nor do we see others writing about him having written anything. For example, we did see people write about Solomon's other writings that are not shown in the 66 books of the canon. If Melchisedec did write anything, those writings were either destroyed or are hidden. In either case, it's likely that the same things that he wrote about (primarily lost now) have been brought forth, secondarily, through others, after him. Meaning, we very well could have the parts of the Word of God, originally-conveyed through Melchisedec, now written down from others, without anything being lost. There are many sources inside and outside of the canon that say he did live and those sources describe him as being a High Priest, of the Highest known order, who followed the will of the Lord.
Regarding Melchisedec's life having "no beginning and no ending": only God and time are that way. So, he had to be an ANGELLIC FORM OF JESUS (Dan. 3:25), similar to the situation in Gen. 19:1-3, where angels visited earth, as men. We know that angels do not marry, so they must not be designed to procreate. Or, they aren't allowed to, if they can, for some unknown reason. Since Melchisedec had no parents or lineage, he was certainly like an angel, in that way alone. Also, from that one way, he was like God (God not having yet begotten Jesus Christ in man form, at that time). As well, Melchisedec was said to have never mortally died. Therefore, he could not be human, since a flesh body would've had to decay and only Enoch and Elijah never mortally died (short of everyone alive today). God would've then created him as a fully-developed, angel child (just as Jesus began preaching as a child), just as God created Adam (already as a man). This second creation, done in that non-birthed manner, would be like a second Adam then. It's very interesting that Jesus is known to be the second Adam (1 Cor. 15:45-47). What do Jesus and Melchisedec have in common? The High Priesthood and a form of Lordship/Kingship (Melchisedec, being an angel of the Lord and the King of Salem/Peace).
For Melchisedec to go from a child to a man implies that angels can grow-up, from a child, to an adult. We do know that their bodies can become physical in this realm and eat physical foods. We also know that eating fattens and grows a body, symbolic as to how fed-calves in the stall can grow-up, from feeding on the Word of God: hearing and doing God's will (Gen. 19:3 & Mal. 4:2). The bigger the angel then, the more it has been fed: the more it has done of God's will. This is how angels can be of different heights.
We know that angels are creations of God and that they have a different physical body than humans, since they can be seen or unseen. They also transfer between the Flesh Realm and Spirit Realm. It's also interesting that Melchisedec was described as being a man, but was never described as having any wings. However, angel wings can seemingly be kept unseen, just as the angels in Gen. 19:5 were also described by the people, as being "men". Further, angels can be wholly seen or wholly unseen. So, to be partially unseen is not at all impossible, for God, as many things in His plan have a range of amounts. Whether their wings were shown or not does not actually matter, as the angel-men in Gen. 19 were both known to be angels and still looked like the image of men/God. The same can apply to Melchisedec. For wings to not be described does not mean that he was not an angel. Hebrews 13:2 tells us that we have entertained angels and didn't even know it. It's important to note that the same Book of Hebrews also describes Melchisedec (Heb.7:1-3).
Lastly, he's said to have been created with a "Badge of Priesthood" on his chest. Priests minister and we know angels do too. Being a ministering angel, this "badge" then would've been a small shield on a child. This would mean that angels are created with a minimum level of sanctification credited to them already: designed and recognized to be sufficient in immediately serving God.
Angels give protection to the heirs to inherit salvation by issuing a level of the Armor of God. They issue partial or whole armor, depending on how much the heir they minister to has done. The "eating" and "badge" topics would tell us then that the angels graduate from badges to full-sized shields (both the same shape), as the angel does more of God's will and grows. So, angels are then appropriately-assigned to an heir, properly-pairing the sanctification level of the angel to the human's. The angel who has done some partially protects the heir who has also done some. The angel who has done all, protects the heir who has done all. So, the ministeeing angel then grows in sanctifination, as their assigned human does. This further tells us that Melchisedec was an angel of the Lord, who grew in sanctification, to found and protect Salem (which would come to be called JeruSALEM).
This would show us that some of the divine forms of God are:
1) The Father
2) The Holy Spirit
3) Begotten Son of God (Jesus Christ: the Word)
4) Melchisedec (the Holy Spirit in a visible angel body)
You know, Jesus was a man. He was also the Word. The Word is written, for us to read. The Holy Spirit can Comfort. He can give Peace. God can be in the form of blessings we recieve. God can be seen when looking at a sunset with beautiful clouds. He can be seen in the faces of people. He is a Prince, a King, a Creator, a Servent, a Priest, a Teacher, a Healer... He can take-on many forms and is everywhere, because He is the Almighty!
To conclude, Melchisedec must have been the non-begotten Son of God, in a physical, angel body on earth, without the appearence of wings. After all, angels do preach in this realm, at the very end of this age, and Melchisedec was a priest (Rev. 14:6). Further, angels are to protect us and Melchisedec founded Salem, as the King of Peace (Heb. 7:2): over God's protected chosen. May God's loving will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven (Matt. 6:10).
I just caught it that melkisedik was born out of death . Death had no power over him. Do you see how the priesthood came first. Establish priesthood then establish Kingdom. Priest and king. No division. Same guy priest and king. King of righteousness King of peace king of both light and dark. Ruler of rulers.
Sounds, sound! Were this not the case then Melchizedek being before Christ would have been greater than Christ!
Interesting account of what was originally diverse oral mythology and tradition of bronze age religious anthropology in the Levant, and how this person morphed into varied roles in different generations and evolving religious traditions. But it's just that, mythology and tradition, though fascinating as it changed over time.
I guess if God wanted us to know, we would know. Tune in tomorrow for the next episode of, Have You Seen Me?: Melchizedek. Origins unknown.
1)
To me, it is obvious, but like some things in Scripture, it is not required for all to know it, such as Jesus saying "to whomever can receive it, let him receive it" as He did with John the Baptist being the Elijah to come. Why then, do some Christians think Elijah is one of the 2 witnesses when Jesus made it clear that Elijah has ALREADY come? Because not all can receive His saying and something go over certain people's heads.
Now ... for Melchizedek:
2)
Melchizedek has neither beginning of days, nor ending. *That is in reference to ETERNALITY,* for Jesus also has neither beginning nor ending.
3)
*Melchizedek is the King of Salem.* It is a disturbing lie to read Jewish and Christian Commentaries that insert "Jerusalem." No. There is nothing about the CITY of Peace. There is literally nothing in the Text that says "Jeru-salem". Nothing. That is an insertion of man, and the blind leaders who don't know the difference. There is only "peace" (Salem - shalom) written in the Text. In fact, there is no city mentioned at all. PEACE is intangible. You cannot see or touch it.
4)
*Melchizedek is the King of Righteousness.* How can a mortal man be the KING of Righteousness!? Only GOD can have such a title! It would be blasphemy to give a title that belongs only to God, to mortal men!
5)
*There is literally no such thing as the "priesthood" of Melchisedek.* That is literally never written. It does not exist in the Text. Saying there is a "priesthood" of Melchizedek is as much an insertion and an error (intentional or otherwise) as inserting 'Jerusalem' into the Text when the Text clearly says "Salem" only. There is, likewise, NO mention of any other priests or successors, NO mention of any Temple, NO mention of any
3b & 4b & 5B)
"My Kingdom is NOT of this world" - Jesus
6)
*Melchizedek is both King and High Priest.* No one else can be both. No king can also be high priest, and no high priest can also be king. ONLY Melchizedek was this, and ONLY Jesus is this.
7)
*His very name means KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS* Do you not hear the blasphemy in that, to call a mere mortal, the KING over RIGHTEOUSNESS!? The very NAME is DIVINE!
FAST FORWARD TO THE NEW TESTAMENT
8)
*The author of Hebrews mentions things that a sacred to the Jews, showing hos Jesus is GREATER than all of the things, but when it comes to Melchizedek, the author does NOT show Jesus as being GREATER, but instead, he shows Jesus as being {EQUAL} to Melchizedek.* When you read the surrounding Chapters in that light, it becomes clear that the one thing the author does not make Jesus "greater than," is Melchizedek. But instead, he considers Jesus to be "equal to."
8)
*The author is holding something back about Melchizedek.* He says that there are things he wants to tell them about Melchizedek, but they are all too weak and unspiritual and unlearned. He even complains about their spiritual immaturity - rebukes them for it, even. So, the question is, WHAT is it that the author wants to tell the saints about Melchizedek? That he is GOD in the flesh? That he is Christ (Christophany)?
And why is this so hard to imagine? Did not Jacob wrestle with a MAN that he called GOD? Did not three MEN visit Abraham of whom he called his Lord, Yahweh?
10)
*Because the greater always blesses the lessor.* It is firmly established and considered that Abraham was the most righteous man alive in those days. So, if he was the MOST righteous, what in the world could be MORE Righteous than the MOST righteous? Only GOD! The greater blessed the lessor.
11)
And this one, to me, seals the deal. *ABRAHAM GAVE TO MELCHIZEDEK WHAT {{BELONGS}} TO GOD! HE GAVE HIM THE TITHE!* You cannot give what belongs to God to anything else! And no righteous man would take what belongs to God unto himself. It would be robbery, perhaps sin! So, why does Abraham, who knew better, give what belongs to GOD, to a moral man? It is for the same reason Abraham went running off to three strangers, bowed, and call them his master! Melchizedek has to be GOD!
Agree Jesus is Melchizedek.
Alright, and the perfect embodiment of the invisible Father is........ before Abraham was, I am.
lol
In Hebrews 7:1-3 it states that Melchizedek was "without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life"
Thank you!

Best information
Mr.Bird, it is so refreshing to encounter someone who gives such a well rounded presentation of a topic shrouded in mystery, as that of Melchizedek, thank you, well done.
Hmmm. I disagree that Melchizedek isn't Jesus for a few reasons:
1. The Holy Spirit inspires the writing of the Scriptures. Why would God speak like this?.... running down rumors and comparing Jesus to local "folklore"? Unless there is serious significance to Melchizedek, being mentioned by Moses, David then in Hebrews.
2. If we believe the encounter of Abraham and Melchizedek to be historical fact... then we must believe the things being said about him as well...
3. If Melchizedek can never die, and a person made a priest after this order is primarily because of its permanency.. that would HAVE to mean Melchizedek still exists somewhere... since he couldn't die... AND he would have to STILL be a priest.... because by definition that's what being a priest after this order means. Your position is permanent because you have no ending.
4. So then, do we have TWO priests in this permanent priedthood?..... Melchizedek that Abraham encountered and then Jesus???
5. Either Melchizedek was a human that died and they attributed his myth to Jesus.. in order to help us understand Jesus' priesthood....OR...Melchizedek was Jesus in the Old Testament.
It's more plausible that Melchizedek was Jesus in the Old Testament. Being said to have the exact characteristics..... no beginning or ending.... no father or mother. These are attributes of God. Jesus existed in the beginning. Being the very thing THROUGH WHICH the Earth was created. So then why would it be so hard for it to have been Jesus? Of course not known as Jesus but by the other titles we know him to be..... THE WORD OR LOGOS.
When did Melchizedek cease being on the Earth? Did his priesthood just disappear or end? when there's a change of priesthood there's also a chance of covenant. So then, could it be when Moses and his people accepted God's covenant... this is where the priesthood change happened? Not that Melchizedek ceased being a priest... but being a person of the Godhead manifested in human form like Christ, went back to heaven? And with God dwelling amongst his people he temporary appoints Aaron and his sons to take on the task?
Kinda like when Jesus said if I don't go then the Holy Spirit can't come. Not that God is incapable of being in two places at once... but there is a change in covenant. The Holy Spirit now has a work to do in the Earth.
If we can believe that Enoch was the 1st human taken alive to heaven because he pleased God, and alln of the other incredible things scripture recounts....it's not too extreme to suggest Melchizedek was a manifestation of the LOGOS.... here not yet being the "Son Of God"...having not yet been conceived into Mary.... being only known to them by what he actually is.. THE WORD.
Just my take on it.
Yes! Amen.
Well articulated
He just doesn’t want to read what it says. Hebrews 7 slashes the Aaronic priesthood for the fact that the priests died, but if Jesus is the perfect priesthood, then Melchizedek must live forever and is said to live in the present tense twice earlier in the chapter.
Also, Galatian 4 tells the allegory of the bond woman and the free woman in comparison to the Jerusalem on earth and the Jerusalem above which is free. I’m t would stand to reason that since Jesus is the priest after Melchizedek, and his covenant is of the Jerusalem above, then Melchizedek was the king of the city Jerusalem above, making him, well, God himself. However, lot of scholarly academic theologians have this false model of God that would come crashing down if Melchizedek is an incarnation of God.
Me too,i would not agree that Melchizedek is not Jesus Christ Himself.
I agree. Other scholars have researched and found Melchizedek to be the Messiah. They evidence is pretty clear.
I'm an atheist and I enjoyed this video. Interesting!
This was absolutely fascinating. Often in church we gloss over the Order of Melchizedek and don’t really discuss what it is. I’m delving deeper and look forward to reading your thesis. Blessing.
In church we gloss over a lot. I received a healing from a beautiful young lady Madeline Eve! 💕Which lead me to Saint Germain, Melchizedek, Paul Selig. And my life will never be the Same. GOD is here! And he will make himself known if we ask.
Thanks for sharing your research. Reading Hebrews 7 and felt led to stop and investigate Melchizedek.
Hearty appreciation from Bangalore, India.Profound thoughts from a profound mind on the profundity of Melchizedek.Fascinating insights.
That’s how I got here too!
Me too!
Story of my life
Same here lol
I have a question about this. You say something to the effect that what the author of Hebrews is doing is simply echoing common rumors about Melchizedek, not attempting to lay claim to their validity and in this way, he is like the Son of God. However, if this is the case, then what does that same process say about Christ's priesthood? Is the author trying to tell the readers that not everything that is written about Jesus is true? I'm trying to follow the logic of this... it isn't making sense to me. I'm a bit slow about "getting" things sometimes.
It seems to me that if Jesus tells us to pray, "Your Kingdom come, your will be done on Earth, just as it is in Heaven" it suggests (to me) that Melchizedek would have already been a priest in Heaven before Canaan, thus, he laid the foundation for an Earthly Priesthood, being the first Priest from God to bless mankind (break curses). If that is how it really is, then it is easy for me to see the correlation between Christ's Eternal Priesthood and that of Melchizedek. Because then, Melchizedek and Jesus both came from Heaven. It reminds me of later on when Hebrews tells the readers to "entertain strangers" for by doing so, many have entertained Angels unaware. Very interesting indeed.
My goodness, this is powerful. The best lecture on Melchizedek I've ever heard.
Agreed!
Try Lectures on Faith
Do you or anyone in the comments here have an opinion on how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints view Melchizedek? The men in the church can become elders at the age of 18 and receive the Melchizedek priesthood giving them authority to officiate and give blessings within the church and their families.
And Adonizedk king of Jerusalem, the Same was Shem, went out with his
men to meet Abram and his people with bread and wine, and they remained
together in the valley of Melech. Jasher 16: 11
The Book of "Jasher" you quote from is not the true book of Jasher
@@mrmcface713
Exactly! And Melchizedek IS NOT Shem
@@eew8060 Right, he had Father and Mother, and beginning of days......He was born...
@@eew8060 I always thought he was Shem because I thought there could be only one high priest at a time?
Melchizadek is an order. The one with no father or mother was Adam. The one Abraham gave tithe to was Shem, and the last one is our Messiah Yehoshua. I think it was passed down until the order was split into the line of Judah as king and the line of Levi as priest until they were reunited in our Savior. It might have gone like this, Adam, Seth, Enoch, Methuselah, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Jacob and then split or something to that effect. Not one person. An order or line of people, rather.
Could it be that melkisedik is an example of a man who is so committed to the lord that they have been transformed into the image of yeshua not above not below but a mirror image of yeshua a priest and a king.
He might have been a favored man in the eyes of the Father. Just like David and Solomon.
I enjoyed the analysis and history. Melchizedek is a fascinating person, more is to be learned. His priesthood was without beginning or end, not his person. And he held the high priesthood, not the lower priesthood, like Aaron did later on. Thus, Abraham sought out Melchizedek to give him tithes and to obtain that high priesthood also, under the hand of Melchizedek.
Thank you for your very well explained background to biblical interpretation. We often interpret the Scriptures in regard to the traditions of Jewish culture, but we forget to realize that there were documents and mystical traditions as well...I never would have thought of this, and it is a real eye opener. It helps when i read in Jude his reference to Satan debating with Moses, which is from the book of Enoch ( which is not in the reformed canon )....So, this has been very helpful, and beautifully presented. I thank you very much. God bless you brother.
Incredible! I’ve asked my pastor about Melchizedek and he said, “good luck with that!” I appreciate you sharing your insights regarding this subject, but I’m going to have to listen to this at least 37 more times before I have any idea regarding this interesting subject. Thank you!
I just finished reading Hebrews 7, and was just wondering why no one talks about Him in the Church. He is too significant to be ignored
@@Call.Him.Emmanuel He briefly touches on that. Paul was a Jew and longed to convert the Jews when he could, this was an instance where he was using the reference to "relate" to their culture, as a jew to the jews.
@@Call.Him.Emmanuel they write him off as Christophany.
The Urantia book says Melchizedek was sent to reestablish God's word as pre[paration for the coming of Christ. The references to God speaking with Abraham were actually of Melchizedek but, apart from one passage, were later switched out by the priests who didn't want any figure to eclipse the patriarch's status.
Is it heretical to think Isaac was born by divine conception? The Bible seems to say that G-d himself visited Sarah and gave her Isaac. And then goes on to recount the near sacrifice of G-d’s could-be son.
The Essenes were waiting for the Messiah Melchizedek. Priest of the Most High God what does a Priest do ? He sacrificed Himself, Holy Jesus Christ is Melchizedek even the Gnostic writings reveal Jesus as Melchizedek. Holy Jesus told us before Abraham was I am and Abraham was happy to see my day it can't get clearer than that
Melchizedek is the High Priest Of Holy Almighty YHWH who Sacrificed Himself as the final Sacrifice and Lamb of Holy YHWH
*Melchisedec order*
God's interpretation in Hebrews 7 clearly reveals who Melchisedec is to the New testament saints. We don't have to follow the Genealogy of Melchisedec since the writer of Hebrews have started mentioning Melchisedec from Chapter 5 & 6 quoting from Psalms 110. Melchisedec is not a type of Christ but Christ is sworn and ordained after the order of Melchisedec by God in Psalms 110 in eternity. This prophetical ordination concerning Christ is again mentioned in Hebrews chapter 5:5 to the begotten Son of God, which is to say to the Resurrected Christ (Psalms 2:7 & Acts 13:33)
The prophecy of Hebrews 5:6 concerning Christ gets fulfilled in Hebrews 6:19 & 20 as He entered within the eternal veil. Before entering Into the eternal veil, Jesus was the forerunner and in entering, God's eternal Ordination after the order of Melchisedec fulfilled.
Today we've a mediator (Hebrews 8:6)who's with an excellent ministry established in better promises or prophecies (Psalms 110) Law, Levitical priesthood, Animal sacrifices & blood, brings no perfection but God's begotten Son who is after the order of Melchisedec as our High priest, mediator and intercessor(Hebrews 7:25 & 26) is able to save to the uttermost.
Many excellent things are mentioned of Jesus Christ who is after Melchisedec's eternal order.
God's prophecy in Psalms 2:7 and 110:4 was only for Christ alone which the Hebrews writer clearly highlighted in Hebrews 5:4.
Begotten(Resurrected) Son of God is made a High priest after the order of Melchisedec and not the Apostles. Only the glorified Christ our forerunner after He entered into the eternal veil was made a high priest after the order of Melchisedec and not before that while Jesus was in earth (Hebrews 8:1-4).
Hebrews 7:14-17, the scripture talks not only about the evidence, but yet far more evdient: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec ariseth after the power of an endless life another priest Jesus Christ, whom God testifieth after the order of Melchisedec. These verses confirmed that Melchisedec is the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ received no old testament Genealogies ordination since He's after the power of an endless life and after the similitude of Melchisedec The Holy Ghost of God the Testifieth. Hallelujah.
Study from God, about The Begotten Son of God & The order of Melchisedec and not from the theologians and Hebrew Dictionary.
Praying in the Holy Ghost in tongues, God's mysteries will be revealed whose name is to be blessed. Many excellent things are written about Melchisedec in the Holy Scripture.
K
Melchizedek of Genesis 14 is JESUS CHRIST before He came to the Cross. JESUS IS PRIEST OF GOD MOST HIGH. HE IS THE KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. KING OF SALEM!
The Dead Sea scrolls and Nag Ham speak of Melchizedek. Melchizedek is a celestial being that materialized upon the face of the planet earth to uplift humanity. The Melchizedek order and being is spoken about within the papers of the Urantia Book.
This is so powerful I have been born again for decades but had no full understanding of this king and High priest , my eyes are filled with tears once again thank you just subscribed to your channel
Try reading the gabriel inscription..
The reason Jesus is after the order of melchizedek is because Melchizedek was born by gods seed as well as Jesus,but Jesus sacrificed his life for humanity and that's why he's greater.also Jesus appears to Abraham in earthly form before destroying Sodom and Gomorrah and Abraham called him lord not Melchizedek.
Can it be just coincidence that Melchisedek spoke to Abram then the Lord in a flesh body spoke to the now Abraham (no more Abram)The Lord and two of his angels appeared to Abraham in flesh bodies(although they were God and angels)Through the holy spirit I believe that Melchisedek and the Lord was one and the same.The bible does not spell it out neither dismiss the possibility and that is one of the reasons we christians need the holy so much because through the holy spirit secrets are revealed,the bible do say that scripture cannot be understood without the spirit of God helping us to understand.That is why the pharisees persecuted Jesus because they did not (understand)the scripture they knew and memorized so well.
How about the pagan perspective that he was actually a priest of an entirely different deity than Yahweh as Melchizedek was connected to Elyon who is a different deity within the old pantheon the Christian deity was extracted from and subsequently destroyed access to? Yahweh was subservient to Elyon so in truth this older deity was higher than the deity that jesus proclaimed to be the son of
I have always believed that the Priesthood of Melchizedek and the Priesthood of Aaron are separate with separate responsibilities…
This is the stance taken by the LDS church, where the Aaronic priesthood is a lesser one than the Melchizadek priesthood.
One is eartly one is heavenly divine. We get baptize physically by men but our spirits by the divine priesthood. So above so below.
That was awesome info, question though, What about when jesus said i broke bread with abraham? As to him being melchizedek? because who else that it was written that broke bread with abraham?
Great show. I also have found Melchezedek fascinating over the years. I have a hard time wrapping my head around this figure. However I dont trust Enoch book 2 & 3, so I have to throw that out. But the rest of your prsentation is great. Thank you. I still dont understand who Melchiszdek is but will keep praying for understanding
Read the Urantia Book. There is a complete history and explanation of the Melchizedek Order.
There aren't two high priests but only one and that is God I always believe that Melchizedek and God is one.
Hebrews sets out from the start, to answer questions that Jewish believers (or potential believers) had about the Messiah.
The various myths that had developed over the centuries about who the Messiah was and how he would manifest, had become excepted as almost as equal to scriptural truths.
Therefore, the author of the book of Hebrews begins the first few chapters by explaining that Jesus was 'greater than the angels, greater than 'Moses', 'greater than Abraham', and of course 'greater than Melchizedek'.
Another important point is that in Jewish Law, a man could not hold the office of a priest and be king at the same time, so the fact that Jesus was being preached as both a King and a priest, would have raised some questions, so the book of Hebrews shows us a man who was the 'King' of Salem but also 'priest' of the God most High, showing that it was only those who held the office of the Aaronic priesthood that were barred from holding the position of King.
So, Jesus was the 'King of Israel' and the 'High priest of our confession', and since His priesthood was of 'the order of Melchizedek' it was not breaking Jewish law.
How is Jesus greater than Melchizedek…infinite in existence? Is one infinite greater than another?
Excellent presentation!....Thankyou for your dedication and study and sharing on this wonderful subject.
not only have I successfully deciphered who this Melchizedek is but also Nimrod and all I got to say is you will be blown away at their unveiling.... scholars and historians don't even know this... I sought and I found, dammit did I find......
What did you find?
Can you please share.
Ok….?

This is exactly what I was looking for in a video when I searched his name. Great work APTTMH 🙏
You might be interested in what the Urantia Book says about Machiventa Melchizedek.
IT sounds almost like, Melecideck,was ..God in ALL famous people?
What scares me the most is the part when it says: "Sit at my right hand, UNTIL..." and then what? Sit there no more?
Absolutely fascinating! Thank you so much for this video! The mystery Melchizedek is definitely intriguing and I'm grateful to have learned more from you. Again thank you. Peace be with you and God bless you 🙏
Please explain how it says that an immortal man received tithes if Melchizedek was just human?
Jesus was the Son of Man. Adam was the Son of God. Adam had neither father or mother or genealogy or beginning of days. Could Melchizadek be another "Adam" figure?
