Melchizedek and Son of God
Was Melchizedek the Son of God?
Hebrews 7:
7 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abides a priest continually.4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
Where is the Salem?
Psalm 76
2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
Where is Zion?
Joel 2
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.
Rev 14
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
Salem, Zion, Paradise, are the parts of Kingdom of Heaven.
The common Aspects between Melchizedek and Son of God
1) King of Righteousness: as Melchizedek means it.
2) King of Peace.
3) No Father: as Joseph was the adoptive father of Son of God
4) No Mother : Mary was just a surrogate mother and a creature of Son of God
5) No genealogy: Both have no parents no descendant.
6) No beginning of the days
7) No end of life
8) Always Live forever
9) High Priest for the most high God
10) Melchizedek dwelt in Salem which is in Heaven. Jesus dwelt in Heaven with the Father (John 3:13, 17:24, 1 Cor 47)
11) Son of God continues the office of the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek.
12) Abraham paid the 10% of his capture to Melchizedek. All believers devote all to the Son of God.
Son of God is superior to Abraham and above Abraham.
13) All the above 12 points are the divine natures and attributes, no human being can be like that. No human being dwell in Salem.
Therefore, can we safely conclude that Melchizedek was the Pre-Incarnate Jesus Christ!
This is why Melchizedek has appeared no more after Son of God appeared to the human world.
Melchizedek and Son of God had no mother! This is the view point of the Bible writer of Hebrews.
Son of God had His own body and Adam was created in the likeness of the body of Son of God (Genesis 1:26, Col 1:15, John 1:1-3)
14) Objection: Melchizedek was similar to Son of God, or like Son of God, which means both are different => The Photo of Childhood of someone may be similar to the photo of the Adulthood of that someone. Both are the same person!
Jesus Christ, the Son of God offered His own Blood for the remission of sins of the world and thereby we are forgiven once for all. Jesus is our Redeemer and Savior who was resurrected and is in Heaven now.
We don’t need anyone else than Jesus Christ who is enough for us.
