I have heard this, my thing is- we know Shem's genealogy. Melchizedek has no genealogy. Thank you for sharing. God Bless!It is an interesting proposition that you have proposed.
The understanding of the Jews is that Melchizedekel is that he is also Shem, the eldest son of Noah, who, on Noah's death inherited Noah's authority over all of the People of the earth at that time and also became a Priest unto God for all of the people of the Earth.
The Twelve princes of the 12 tribes of Israel also operated under the same principle as Shem operated as a priest between the people and God. The dedication of the Sanctuary of the Tabernacle was carried out by the Princes of the twelve tribes of Israel, see Numbers 7, in the pattern portrayed by Shem, as Melchizedekel in Genesis 14. The covenant entered into by God with the 12 tribes of Israel at Mt Sinai was that they would become Priests unto the Lord in the Order of Melchizedekel as the covenant entered was to establish a kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation unto the Lord.
Christ became the first Priest unto God at the beginning of the Millennium Age in the order of Melchizedekel as given at Mt Sinai and when God made like new again the Mt Sinai covenant of a Kingdom of Priest and a Holy Nation, Israel too will be a kingdom of Priests operating in the Order of Melchizedekel as well.
As a Kingdom of Priests, the role of the Nation of Israel will be to operate as a priest to instruct the people living about each of the Priest of the Kingdom of priest covenant that is to be renewed in our near future about the Salvation Covenant that existed at the time that Adam and Eve were formed at the end of the sixth "period of time" during the creation story and has now been refurbished and made like new again for all of the people of the earth to respond too.
The "Old" and the "New" covenant will fade in their significance as the Salvation Covenant is preached for the salvation of the lost Souls being drawn into God's everlasting Kingdom.
This is a very different understanding of God's Salvation covenant with Mankind.

if he's made like unto the Son then he's not the Son.So the one (Melchisedec)who was made like unto the Son of God was after a similitude
& we can B priests 4ever after the order of Mel'k...read that somewhere ! <m>I don't believe they are the same person
#1. U said in the PDF, "father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God He remains a Priest forever". it's just that they don't have his birth records.
#2. U said in the PDF, "the Lord, and angel can not be a High Priest. That would be angel worship".
take note, Melchizedek was not a high priest, only a priest of the MOST HIGH.
Peace in Christ Jesus.
GINOLJC, first thanks for the response. yes, that's right, your correst. OT and NT. first OT, by the prophet, and king, David, Psalms 110:4 "The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek". this was confirmed by the writer of Hebrews, Hebrews 7:20 "And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: 21 "(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec 22 "By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 23 "And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death".& we can B priests 4ever after the order of Mel'k...read that somewhere ! <m>
not saying that you're right or wrong, but consider this. Melchizedek was a priest, NOT a High Priest. the Lord Jesus is the High Priest.Here are the key verses in Hebrews 7 that shows exactly who is being spoken of in the previous Hebrew 7 verses:
Heb 7:13-14
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
KJV
Melchizedek who met Abraham was Jesus in the Old Testament. The role of Melchizedek represents Christ's Role as King/Priest BEFORE... the Levitical priesthood ever existed, and before He was born through flesh woman's womb. The reason why God said Jesus is forever a priest after the order of Melchizedek in Ps.110 is because that priesthood represents Jesus' position as High Priest since... forever, even before the foundation of the world.
not saying that you're right or wrong, but consider this. Melchizedek was a priest, NOT a High Priest. the Lord Jesus is the High Priest.
