Beard game is on point. lol
Yes!
@@barbarianlibertarian9200 His beard game has nothing on his fellow professor's beard Dr. Whitney. There are Japanese gardens less groomed than Dr. Whitney's beard, which is good for someone teaching Personal Spiritual Disciplines lol.
He did a great job

This was the best explanation for this specific topic I ever heard.. most times none can explain it half as good as he did.
Thank you for sharing. AMEN 🙏 🙏
Seems very few "Christians, Protestants" or other denominations understand the lineage, authority and identity of Melchizedek. If they were listening to a modern prophet, and to modern revelation, the answers would be simple and profound in the same moment. Melchizedek was the primary person in that time, with God's authorization, to preside over the faithful children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Noah!! Melchizedek was authorized by someone not identified in the Bible, but in the same manner as Jesus Christ authorized His own apostles!!
35 years ago in prayer I was taken into the light for eternity held in truth and unimaginable love and ecstasy and God who is the light (Jesus) made himself like a man in front of me and said to me " I can be in the world at any time " this is the first time I'm conscious of ever hearing the word Christophany, it's not that I needed it confirming but still it's wonderful to hear.
May our God Jesus be praised and blessed for ever
can you explain how you were praying? I'd love for this to happen to me but I just never put the effort into prayer
Interesting about the Canaan devolution of their concept of God. Seeing that today with those who worship Nature and the Earth instead of the Lord God who created them.
Nothing new with today's people, mankind has always been and will always be wicked. Only the Lord can save us and change us.
Same as freemasonry are antichrist, they only accept members who worship other gods , whichever is clearly against the second commandment.
Why do you have to say Lord God? I mean, doesn't God sort of imply he's Lord? And what about Jesus?

This guy is Amazing. The way he works through these Biblical realities. Really enjoyed his time on the Genesis 6 verses. The Nephilim. And let me thank Southern Seminary for sharing Honest Answers with Dr. Gentry.
You must like easy themes. Life isn't like that, not all the time.
Thank you southern seminary for these videos. Really enjoy listening to them and thank you professors for taking the time to help make them. Simple understandable explanations but with the knowledge and research behind them.

Christ is the only way to God the father. The scripture does not give us an anointing or appointment of Melchizedek. His is without genealogy, without mother or father. Thereof he is eternal. Unless the scriptures are false? God is eternal. Through receiving Christ through faith in him? We receive Christs life giving spirit and are made eternal with him.
What confirms that this is christ is that The Greater blesses the lesser. As Abraham did to Pharaoh. If Melchizedek was such a prominent figure we would see and hear more from him? We do. Because he is christ he is in evrry word of the bible. Its just that some want to impress with their knowledge. That would be eating from the tree of knowledge.
Should we read the scripture with spirit? God the father will reveal Christ to us.

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

I do.
It is a nice beard
Very noble looking
I’ve never seen anything like it.
You have shared a lot of interesting information. Melchizedek is an interesting figure. Most of all, I appreciate your dialog which gives me something to ponder and to study. I don’t always agree with your conclusions, but I enjoy being challenged to review what I do and do not believe, and why I believe it.

Was Mel a prophet too?
P
I agree this man's dialogue is worthy of listening to.. one thing I don't understand is in his interpretation of the book of Enoch of the nephilim why hasn't Lilith been mentioned???

Wow, thanks for answering this question I've had for eons
Eons? how long have you been on earth?
Read my bible last night about Melchizedek on Hebrews. Then, saw this vid on my recommended
Lol.. he is shem.. melchesdek is shem.. Noah's son who was both king and priest or adonadesek .. all the way up to jacob one person was king and priest for tmh and then it was split between judah and Levi and the high priest being in Damascus..

Noah gave him the knowledge of the God that saved them from the flood..
The Melchizedek study is interesting. If we are in the spiritual priesthood to Melchizedek (with Christ as the high priest) and Ambraham tithed to Melchizedek, then why do Christian's tithe? Perhaps we've been mis-taught or worse, scammed? My video on this topic launches tomorrow. (hint, I think we are being scammed by greedy people in the church)
@@theofficialfedup Hebrews 7:3 clearly says he had no father or mother, so how could it be Shem?
@@seank3620 shem didn't have a levite father or a levite mother.. in order to be a priest under levi or Aaron's sons which were high priest.. both your mother and father had to be levites.. shem was before all that.. he was the king and priest for tmh in the earth for tmh after Noah passed it to him.. melchesdek is a order not a person.. after Jacob had 12 sons the kingship and priest hood was split.. christ would have to bring back that order because christ came from judah which is kings but he came to do priest work.. sacrifice.. only priest could sacrifice or melchesdeks who were both king and priest.. christ would have to follow under what shem was dealing with and not the 12 tribes.. shem taught abraham how to plug in with the father God because abraham's father was terah a idolater and could never teach abraham so he went to see shem to learn what noah had taught and passed down to shem..
@@theofficialfedup God Bless you, I do not want to argue and probably should have kept my comment to myself. I hope you have a wonderful night.
Thank You, nicely done, look forward to listening to more of your work!

Makes sense. Thank you for your research and putting it out here for us.
Read the book of Jasher you will be overjoyed to know exactly who is Melchizedek. It's not only that but so much more.
Jesus said he met Abraham in his days and he (Abraham) was happy to see him? Who is both king and priest? who is known for breaking bread and sharing wine? IS SALEM on the map or is it just a title? No earthly father or mother? I believe we should be comparing scriptures with scriptures to search out the truth in the bible and not just relying on mere archaeological discoveries which could be wrongly dated.
You are citing John 8:56 where the Lord said: Your father Abraham rejoiced (NET footnote, rejoiced greatly) that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad. (NET footnote: What is the meaning of Jesus’ statement that the patriarch Abraham “saw” his day and rejoiced? The use of past tenses would seem to refer to something that occurred during the patriarch’s lifetime. Genesis Rabbah 44:25ff, (cf. 59:6) states that Rabbi Akiba, in a debate with Rabbi Johanan ben Zakkai, held that Abraham had been shown not this world only but the world to come (this would include the days of the Messiah). More realistically, it is likely that Gen 22:13-15 lies behind Jesus’ words. This passage, known to rabbis as the Akedah (“Binding”), tells of Abraham finding the ram which will replace his son Isaac on the altar of sacrifice-an occasion of certain rejoicing.)
Moreover Jesus' mother was very earthly
: @@HHH_Hymnal Simple, "Nobody has ascended to heaven but he that descended from heaven, the son of man" KJV John 3;13 . He is sleeping in the grave and will awaken in the" new earth", or earthly paradise. Acts 24:15. To receive the heavenly callng one had to survive to Pentecost 33CE,when the New Covenant went into to operation. See Matt. 11:11.
@Michael Ucheibe: from what I can tell, I agree. Melchizedek means King of Righteousness, and Salem means peace... Therefore Genesis 14:18 says: "The King Of Righteousness, the King of Peace, brought out bread and wine (He was priest of The Most High God) and blessed him and said..."... Then Abraham gave him a tenth of everything.
Totally agree with where you're heading here!
Gentry, as usual, rocks!

Very nice breakdown. Thank You.
Thanks for the unbias and factual presentation. Yes.. Melchizedek was spoken of through out the Bible but mostly in Abrahams time for giving aid and comfort to Abraham and Lott. He was titled as a just and righteous king being both fair and impartial. Weighing in all things.
He was Jesus

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

Thank you very much for this enlightenment. I wanted yo name my second son Melchizedek after my first son, Gideon. Unfortunately I never had a second son, yet I give praise to God. Amen Amen Amen.
I named my son Salem...
God bless you abundantly sir, love from India
The most amazing purpose of Melchizedeck being a higher King than the line of David, higher Priest than the line of Levites, higher Prophet than the line of Moses and Aaron... then Jesus being in that Order, opens a way for both Jews and Gentiles to have no condemnation from the law of sin and death. Melchizedek's Order provides a way for every human to be set free to be back in communion with God...similar to Adam and Eve's walk with God in the Garden.
Melchizedek is the one that cannot be explain . I’m sure there is some Information about him out there. Thanks for taking the time to do this great video sir.
Lol.. he is shem.. melchesdek is shem.. Noah's son who was both king and priest or adonadesek .. all the way up to jacob one person was king and priest for tmh and then it was split between judah and Levi and the high priest being in Damascus.. John the Baptist wasnt a regular levite and shem is melchesdek .. apttmh..abraham gave shem a 10th for teaching him how to worship tmh correctly and recieved power to take the kings down.. Abraham's father was terah and idolater who made idols and could not teach shem how to worship God because he was an idolater and didn't worship the God of Noah and shem.. so he went to his elder shem.. everyone went to shem to learn things at one time.. Noah gave him the knowledge of the God that saved them from the flood..
@@theofficialfedup From what scripture says, the Melchizedek Order, under which Christ is, is different from the Levitical Order. The key differences being that Melchizedek priests, must, of necessity differ from the Aaronic/Levitical preisthood in some way. The Aaronic priesthood had High priests who were not Kings and would die and their descendants take their place...unlike the Melchizedekean one...my 2 cents.
@@theofficialfedup He is in the Dead Sea Scrolls as the bastardized nephew of Noah.
The way Jesus applied Melchizedek was to himself since the question was asked in the New Testament who the people thought that the Messiah was. The answer given by the religious teachers was the son of David and then Jesus quoted Psalm 110:1-4, the Lord said to my Lord meaning that King David was referring the Melchizedek of verse 4 as being his Lord meaning that he existed prior to the Incarnation. Fact is that this particular Psalm 110:1-4 is inextricably linked to Hebrews 7:1-3 and in Psalm 110: 1-4 verse 4 is revealed as the Heavenly Melchizedek which had nothing to do with an earthly Canaanite King. Factor into the account that Dead Sea Scroll Document 11Q13 reveals that the ancients believed that Melchizedek was Elohim and would as High Priest of God conduct the Day of Atonement on behalf of God's people on the 10th Jubilee which would have been fulfilled at the time of Christ's baptism in 27 AD.
I see, may i ask where did you learn this? Thanks :)
HalleluYah amein
I was rolling witcha to that dead sea scrolls part. Not saying u believe that part but Malkiy-Tsedeq is definitely not Yahuah.
I believe M-T is a precursor to Ha'Mashiach bc in Genesis is says he is priest of El Elyon. Ha'Mashiach is High Priest. H'M is the Son of Elohiym. Where does Yah say M-T is the Son? Also M-T is not salvation. He did not cause the veil to be ripped nor was he he resurrected. And the Bible continuously say ORDER of M'T. My question to ppl who believe M-T is H'M is...So H'M is going to order after himself?
@@nmr3647 your right but he did start the order of serving a meal with both bread and wine, and me I think that bread was Matzha bread and it’s what Yeshua gave to His disciples as well, right before He was crucified and He explained to them and all of us just what the bread and wine represented
Thank you for the clarification
Great explanation, thank you.
Wow this is awesome! I’ve been studying in Hebrews and I finally got to the point and was like man I need to know more background on this order of Melchizedek haha. Thank you!
Same here!
@I C you said Shem was king of Jerusalem? Jerusalem wasn't even formed then so that information isn't correct because he was a Canaanite at the time
@I C it's funny how you started your comment with I don't know the Holy scriptures and then went off the Holy scriptures to start talking about pseudoscience 😂
And you say you're a scholar of the scriptures but you don't know why man's age was reduced to 120yrs and your best answer was to look outside of the scriptures to science book.. If you can obviously reject the creation account of Genesis and would rather side with NASA then I don't think your knowledge of the holy scriptures can be trusted fr and that also will cast doubts about the info you're providing and Abraham didn't treat the high priest like his great great grandfather either neither did the priest treat Abraham like his son
I C you’re the false person here trying to bring the word of God and the words of men into alignment when the Bible says let God be true and every man a liar.. The earth has not moved away from the sun neither has the sun transgress it’s orbits from the beginning except for when God stopped the sun and moon and moved the sun backwards.. The earth is not a ball spinning in space with other balls spinning too.. You’re trying to use a lie to justify the Word of God, God doesn’t work with lies.. You *might* be right about Shem being Melchizedek but we don’t know for sure but every other thing you said is false..
I C I don’t need your co-sign because you’re not my Savior.. you can call me whatever name your lying Spirit tells you to call me, I ain’t fazed by it.. I stand on the Word of my Father and you stand on the word of your father.. we are not even speaking the same language, you don’t even have the eyes to see the truth neither has your heart been enlightened, you study and study but never coming to the knowledge of the truth because it’s not given to you to see and understand these things..
I got the whole Bible as my proof of a stationary earth, my Father never told me about no planets or the earth rotating or spinning in space with the stars millions of miles away in another galaxies , those are the words of your father and it’s only right that you believe him..
The world my Father created has a stationary earth with heavens above it and the sun, moon and stars are in the heaven rotating above the stationary earth.. You pick just one verse from the entire Bible to justify your lie and what baffles me is that I have never met someone who read the book of Enoch and say the earth is a ball 😂, you must be another type of blind, you don’t even have to be spiritual to see that in the book of Enoch and the fact you didn’t see it is totally beyond me 😂😂.. just making sure that anyone who stumbles on your comment will know you’re a liar and not to be taken serious, you deceive yourself but I won’t allow you deceive others into your blindness and idolatry

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

Great explanation. God bless
The strangest thing is that I do not ever remember reading about him as a child, not once. Then at 48 I am seeing his name everywhere, including randomly getting this in my recommended.
I read with my own eyes that he was without mother and father, King of Salem. It was made to sound as if he was omnipotent . Why also have I read that Jesus "will forever be high priest in the order of Malchesidec"? 🤔
Im going to say that maybe his parents died when he was young. He was most likely an only child. Also he didn't have any children of his own and probably didn't have an any siblings. So melchezedek will be a high priest forever because there was no one else to pass the title to. The same thing with jesus. He came into the world in a miraculous way. He had no children of his own. He was the only one qualified to die for us and he did so . So he is a high priest forever.

I've never heard of anybody saying Melchizedek was Christ himself. He's always been presented as a type of Christ in most denominations, as David and the author of Hebrews suggest. I do not see the confusion in what the former authors say about Melchizedek.
I’m saying it
Thanks for the very detailed explanation!😇😇
This guy is brilliant. The best theological interpretation of these passages I have ever heard
I agree we need to focus on the message not the man
Melchizedek at the same time that Abram defeated the five Kingdoms while rescuing Lot with only 318 men came back to bring one tenth of the spoils to Melchizedek who met Abram with wine and bread.This man was Shem, the second son of Noah. Shem was the only High King and High Priest of Salem at that time. Melchizedek is a title of priesthood that had no beginning and has no end. Adam was also a Melchizedek because GOD BLESSED him and gave him dominion over all HE created.✝️🙏
Anymore info on this priesthood? Books? Websites? TIA
Here is the scriptural truth of the matter.
Word for word from my Hebrew Bible;
- And Malka Zadika, who was Shem bar Noah, the king of Yerushalem, came forth to meet Abram, and brought forth to him bread and wine; and in that time he ministered before Eloha Ilaha. -
Melchi = king
Zedek = high priest
Melchi + Zedek = king and high priest simultaneously, Shem was both king and high priest originating the order of MelchiZedek and he is the only king/high priest (MelchiZedek) until the Messiah who follows Shem in this priesthood as he is the only other to be both king and high priest of simultaneously Israel and he will remain MelchiZedek forever because he is now immortal since his resurrection from the dead.
.
This is just wrong though, your conclusion doesn't match what any scholars say
@@ATinyPillow - so question? What about the detailed account of Melchizedek's birth in the Book of Enoch?
@@johnbagwell9525 : It’s fraudulent. The Second Book of Enoch is not a part of Bible in either Jewish or Christian tradition; instead, it belongs to the vast body of Jewish literature that is related to the books in the sacred canon. More, it was not written by the Enoch we know from Genesis 5. The text we have today was probably composed in Greek by a Jewish writer (possibly in the first or second centuries CE), but the text survived mostly in Slavonic language translation. Despite this, the text of 2 Enoch is full of Hebraisms and Jewish legends that people would have known in the days of Jesus.

Thank you for the very interesting information. I was taught Melchizedek is a form of priesthood, people who go down into the crisis from within and raise it up, like Green Berets. Angels, on the other hand, help solve crises from outside the crisis. Jesus of Nazareth is of the order of Melchizedek.
It is an order of priesthood.

@@ATinyPillow Interesting idea, so basically you conclude that Melchizedek is a person in flesh and blood, not some kind of divine representation, which is in line with what Prof. Gentry conclusion. Now I wonder if they call him the King of Salem, does that suggest he was a king of Jerusalem once in time?
@@jojoanggono3229 : Yes, Shem was in fact the 1st king of jeruSalem. Scripture says that God preserved the priesthood through the flood. Since only Noah, his wife and Noah’s 3 sons and their wives, were saved on the ark - Noah being the family patriarch would have been the priest that God preserved through the flood. It can be no other way given the 8 people who were saved on the ark. Therefore, when Noah passes, the priesthood goes to his eldest son who would be Shem.
Therefore Shem would have been priest and 1st king of jeruSalem simultaneously in Abraham’s time, and to no surprise the word “MelchiZedek” literally breaks down as “Melchi” meaning king + “Zedek” meaning priest. The dictionary definition essentially says the same adding that MelchiZedek was the Old Testament priest-king who met Abraham, feel free to check it out for yourself. Since Shem is the only priest-king of jeruSalem in Old Testament history, the only possible choice has to be Shem. Our Messiah is the only other priest-king so he is therefore after the MelchiZedek priest-king priesthood initially established by Shem and since our messiah is now immortal, he is MelchiZedek priest-king forever because he cannot die just like it says in the book of Hebrews.
It doesn’t hurt that it literally says Shem is MelchiZedek in my Hebrew Bible as you may have read in my earlier comment.
Have a nice evening.
.
The point of Jesus referring to Melchizedek was to prove there is a greater priesthood and a non lineage one (Jesus has a greater priesthood and wasn’t through the lineage of Aaron).
I believe he was Shem son of Noah! Study it you will see how possible this is! 🤔🙏
Love This, thanks for the explanation
Loved this presentation of who Melchizedek was 👍
Beautiful answer! Just recently read Hebrews 7 and now I'm so happy with this explanation! Thanks a lot SBTS!😁😇
NET Bible note: Salem is traditionally identified as the Jebusite stronghold of old Jerusalem. Accordingly, there has been much speculation about its king. Though some have identified him with the preincarnate Christ or with Noah’s son Shem, it is far more likely that Melchizedek was a Canaanite royal priest whom God used to renew the promise of the blessing to Abram, perhaps because Abram considered Melchizedek his spiritual superior. But Melchizedek remains an enigma. In a book filled with genealogical records he appears on the scene without a genealogy and then disappears from the narrative. In Ps 110 the Lord declares that the Davidic king is a royal priest after the pattern of Melchizedek. It is his royal priestly status that makes Melchizedek a type of Christ: He was identified with Jerusalem, superior to the ancestor of Israel, and both a king and a priest. Unlike the normal Canaanites, this man served “God Most High” (אֵל עֶלְיוֹן, ʾel ʿelyon)-one sovereign God, who was the creator of all the universe. Abram had in him a spiritual brother.
The most likely part.is what bothers me..If I don't know I don't.guess. The subject is to important
Darrell Scholl
Read the book of Jasher. It was Shem, son of Noah.
Most likely doesn't cut it with scripture. If you don't know don't guess. The truths of the Bible can't be learnt Bible mere scholastic training. Literally everyone in the Bible with that approach had to forget all they learned. And start over with God the spirit teaching them. Paul being the main. One of the secrets in plain sight of the Bible. Is that he rearley use highly educated people to reveal scripture. Most times it's some poorly educated person. And this is by design. The educated man has a tendency to try and figure it out himself making a mess. While the poorly educated knows he must wait till the spirit reveals it to him. The Bible is a book of parrables, stories, histories and symbols. You can't understand it by just using reading be ability. Jesus talked in parables to the multitudes ALL THE TIME. The deciples got fed up and asked him why he does that. The answer he gave is " because it is not for them to understand. But for you to understand. Then he explained the parable to them. Proving you will never really understand unless God tells it to you. Not approaching it like a thesis for class that will just make you a scribe or a Pharisee. Able to quote but not understand.
@@shaneking1219 this response makes so much sense to me. Not that there is anything wrong with educated people, but a LOT of so called highly educated people think they understand and know everything about Jesus or the bible just because they read it.

No. He was Shem, the righteous son of Noah. Samuel was like him as Samuel was both Prophet and Judge and Priest.

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

Or, where he told Abraham " I knew you when you were still in your fathers loins". He was s Heavenly priest of the all high God sent to Earth to lay the order of priesthood for Jesus, it's that simple. Why do seminarians have such an issue with this, or the giants of Genesis six? They pass it off as to far out there, but still admit that a donkey talked.
Beware of false prophets, for there are many. Do not call yourselves teachers, for one is your teacher, even the Christ.
Given the context of genealogy, this can easily mean we don't know when he was born or when he died. For Jews who knew their genealogy, remember Mary and Joseph most likely knew their way back to David (and because of that much farther) and they were only poor oppressed people, genealogy was extremely important. Hard for modern man with no memory to relate. On the other hand, if you want to suppose pre-incarnate Christ, the burden would be on you to make the case. Answering why the pre-incarnate Christ would be acting as King of Salem is something beyond my believability.
If you honor God, you people wouldn’t judge people lightly specially those who had more knowledge than you
@@troyholder1 it's even easier than your thoughts, he is Jesus, for he See's God and God treats him as Jesus
Pattern, eternal person, no birth or death... Linage of King David.
Who has the power to say this was not Jesus Christ preparing the way.
He has the fullest beard I've ever seen, it's silky and prestigious.. Thanx for this info.
It's sort of a pre-Santa beard.
@@helenhighwater5313 I thought the same thing Lol
His beard is perfect and it is meant to distract you from the fact that he is not wearing pants.
@@mr.e1220 LMAO😂😂😂😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great vid, thanks!
Thank you
I am glad to know more about the man for whom the Melchizedek Priesthood is named. This is the same Priesthood authority which has been restored to the earth and which I and many other Latter-Day Saints are commanded to use to serve the only true God and our fellow man. And the authority to bless and serve others with the authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood is not limited to men. All have a role in gathering Israel prior to the return of our Savior Jesus Christ.❤
The LDS have been so massively misled by false doctrine, fake teachings, lies, and rewrites of Gods word that this story has been so utterly misunderstood that it forms the basis of something it never was in your religion.
Sorry brother but the only one in the manner of Melchizedek is Jesus Christ. No man is also in this same priesthood. He is the high priest for mankind. We’re all kings and priests in a sense, but the priesthood simply denotes one’s that reveal and represent God on earth to others. In the OT the nation of Israel were a kingdom of priests in the sense that they represented the one God to the surrounding nations. Christians today are priests in that we represent God to men through Jesus, and he is image of his Father.
Yes Melchizidek was a real person. Some say he could have been Shem, one of the eight believers who stepped off of the ark. He was a king-priest. He did not require certain parents like the Levitical priests. Jesus Christ being from the tribe of Judah is also a king-priest.
I have studied under R B Thieme Jr for many years. He makes things clear from the original languages.
I’ve understood the phrase ‘in the ORDER of Melchizedek” to mean just that. As a model for Christ. Thanks for expounding on this topic.
Thought this was a confession video, that our bearded narrator is indeed Melchizedek.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha
No you didn't !!!
Word for word from my Hebrew Bible;
-And Malka Zadika, who was Shem bar Noah, the king of Yerushalem, came forth to meet Abram, and brought forth to him bread and wine; and in that time he ministered before Eloha Ilaha.-
.
Correct. Melchizedek is Shem, son of Noah.
The fact that Melchizedek is Shem is confirmed in the book of Jasher, I believe.
Very interesting.Makes sense.
excellent!
That tie is a thing of beaty
As in Warren Beaty :)
Melchizedek also had a very important priestly order in which even The supposed Jesus had to go through to be ordained to teach and issue laws. All prophets had to go through the priestly order of Melchizedek.
Lol.. he is shem.. melchesdek is shem.. Noah's son who was both king and priest or adonadesek .. all the way up to jacob one person was king and priest for tmh and then it was split between judah and Levi and the high priest being in Damascus.. John the Baptist wasnt a regular levite and shem is melchesdek .. apttmh..abraham gave shem a 10th for teaching him how to worship tmh correctly and recieved power to take the kings down.. Abraham's father was terah and idolater who made idols and could not teach shem how to worship God because he was an idolater and didn't worship the God of Noah and shem.. so he went to his elder shem.. everyone went to shem to learn things at one time.. Noah gave him the knowledge of the God that saved them from the flood..
@@theofficialfedup Shem died before Abraham was born. Check the dates and ages given from the greek septuagunt, Samaritan pentateuch, and Flavius Josephus
@@phoenix21studios I hear you but this can be solved with just a kjv.. we can go into other records also but kjv clears it up fine.. shem didn't die before abraham.. shem lived to be 600 years old.. had his 3rd son 2 years after the flood.. abraham didn't leave for Canaan until shem son was 365 years old.. not only did shem know abraham but he may have out lived him.. jacob was like 38 when shem died.. you need to read the kjv first before you go reading all the other records. Then maybe go to Torah.. but you are definitely off..

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

Very interesting.
Thank you!
First two comments say Melchizedek literally means two different things lol. So what does his name really mean?
Melchizedek Absolutely is not Jesus, two very distinct and divergent beings, you need to look a little further than the bible, as it can be a little contradictory at times, just like there are many books not included in the Bible, Blessings to you Lost Books.
Malchi (means King - Melech) and Tzedek Means Righteous, simple!
@@Felto123 but it's Melchizedek
@@toucan221 read again Hebrews 7 where the Apostle Paul explains thoroughly about who Melchizedek was; intepretation of His Name.
Word for word from my Hebrew Bible;
- And Malka Zadika, who was Shem bar Noah, the king of Yerushalem, came forth to meet Abram, and brought forth to him bread and wine; and in that time he ministered before Eloha Ilaha. -
Melchi = king
Zedek = high priest
Melchi + Zedek = king and high priest simultaneously, Shem was both king and high priest originating the order of MelchiZedek and he is the only king/high priest (MelchiZedek) until the Messiah who follows Shem in this priesthood as he is the only other to be both king and high priest of Israel simultaneously and he will remain MelchiZedek forever because he is now immortal since his resurrection from the dead.
