Melchizedek and Jesus: How to find Jesus in the Old Testament pt 6
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 09. 2024
- Examining the Bible to find out who Melchizedek was and how he relates to Jesus. Some think he was a Christophany and others that he is just a type of Christ. I will lay out some reasons for why I see him as a type of Christ and we will learn some principles to add to our tool kit for finding other types of Christ in the Old Testament.
Melchizedek shows up out of nowhere in Genesis 14 and then, in Psalm 110 we hear a promise from God that the Messiah will be a priest after the order of Melchizedek. Finally, the book of Hebrews offers us divinely inspired commentary on the nature of Melchizedek, and that is where the real debate lies. Is Hebrews speaking of Melchizedek in a literal sense or in a literary sense when it says "without father without mother and without genealogy"?
Hi pastor Mike, my name is Christopher from Pakistan and I am watching the series finding Jesus in OT and I am liking it, you are doing a really good job, do pray for me as well so that I can grow more and more in faith
Hi, Mollify. I'll def pray for you! I just discovered this pastor & am binge watching his videos. He seems objective & legit. Very humble & honest as you'll hear him constantly tell you when he doesn't know something or isn't learned on a particular subject & puts forth theories he maybe adheres to for the time being. I like him.
I'd love to pick your brain on Islam & your lifes story sometime, if you wouldn't mind talking with me.
All the best!
I will pray for you. God bless.
Hey man. How are you?
Jesus born from spirit (Kalima) of God.
Jesus in Bible and Issa in Qur'an is not same. Satan created Issa to cheat people.
Jesus had the authority to forgive sin. But Mohammed taught to kiss black stone in Kabah to forgive sin. So Jesus is our saviour from Satan and sin.
Jesus did not teach sex, lies Thakiya, hate, killing, nikha mutha etc...
Jesus is holy. Jesus didn't teach a bar and a place of sex in heaven.
John 8:56
Mike, the way you teach the bible makes your love of the word of GOD infectious. Thank you

Thank You for Your Torah(instructions)

Amen... Addicted to THE WORD😇😇😇😇😇😇😇💕💕💕🔥🔥😇
I love how he teaches us to think biblically, rather than just telling us what to believe!
"In Jesus how could you not be forgiven?" It's beautiful.
I always tell people if they think their sin is too great to be forgiven their god is too small and their ego is too big....hehehehe
While I was reading Genesis in early pregnancy I came to the passage about Melchizedek and it inspired me to name my daughter Salem. It really called to me after reading he was not Jewish, yet still a worshiper of our Lord God, I was not aware that such people had existed before Christ. I completely settled on the name after reading that Salem had the connotation of peace (good thing my husband agreed that it was a good name!).
He is a very interesting character, and the more I learn about him the more pleased I am with my daughter's name.
That's beautiful! She has a cool name!
The king of peace.
Another who worshipped God was Naaman the Syrian who was cured of leprosy when Elisha was prophet. Jesus referred to him in Nazareth when they refused to believe him and they were so offended at the thought that salvation was for anyone besides Jews that they were going to throw Jesus off a cliff. An interesting point about Naaman as an example of salvation not being under law but under grace was that as a servant of the king he had to assist his master while his master worshipped a pagan god, and Elisha excused him of guilt as an exception saying, "go in peace." And of course "peace" is "salem". We enter peace now by entering the heavenly Jerusalem, which is the Church, through the baptism which now saves us also.
@@thereaction18 Great word. I first heard that from Dr. Michael Heiser.
@@baronreed8131 I've heard of him and I'm sure I must have seen some of his videos, but I do not remember him referring to this example. I'll have to look it up. Thanks.
Dear Pastor Mike, If I could pick a son, you would be him, your excitement and enthusiasm for the word of God is such a blessing to me, thank you for your teachings and also for the love that beams forth from your heart when you teach. Praise God for such a great blessing of a young man full of wisdom and knowledge who wants so sincerely to teach the glorious word of God. God bless you, your wife and family and thank you.
It is so crazy how all the puzzle pieces are fitting together
Ino right
Only to the flesh as it becomes aware of the Master Puzzle Maker and His Ways. They are not our ways and look at Yeshua teaching in the parables. It wasn’t that He wanted to keep people out. He wasn’t going to make it easy on us
Isn't it awesome how precise the word of God is? The more you study it and learn about it, the more you grow to love it I think.
I'm an long-term Christian (?) who has recently discovered the importance of God and His word. I really appreciate your videos, Mike. Please keep it up.

@Mansoor Ahmad we are good bro.
I just want to openly thank my Heavenly Father for your ministry Mike. May God bless you.

Blessing to watch and helped me understand Melchizedek so much more. God bless you pastor Mike, thank you!
Well do you do you know how important he is?
I really enjoy this Pastor's teaching, never felt so excited for the word of Almighty God before, his way of teaching make me curious as to what will be revealed next. Learning to think biblically. 👍
As a former Mormon, this confusion about who Melchizadek was, was taught as exactly why "Christians" didn't have a clue concerning the Holy Melchizadek Priesthood. I remember much fun made of the poor evangelicals who have no knowledge because they reject the restoration of God's one true church and Melchizadek priesthood.
Thank you s o much for this teaching and all your videos. Untwisting the Bible from Mormonism to Christianity has been the hardest thing I've ever done.
I'm still trying to figure out who Melchizadek was.
Melchizadek is jesus's Father
Please don’t stop posting I really enjoy learning from your videos
It is evident from this vid and from Mike's own admission, that a series on Hebrews, like the one on Romans, is in order. This was a thoughtful exegesis on the relation of the Melchizidek type put forth by the Hebrews author. Very intriguing.
I was especially drawn to the attention given to 7:23-25 about saving to the uttermost, a most excellent high Priest.
I appreciate your view that Melchizedek was an actual physical king in Salem. He appeared out of nowhere and was never heard of again. He was not mentioned as being part of the battle. That being said, I think it is Christ Himself, priest forever. That means of all time, both forward and backward. Just a thought. Love your message!
He's CLEARLY Christ. Just like He appeared in the fire to protect Shadrack, Mishak, and Abendigo, just like He appeared to Solomon, Saul, David, voice of God , walking , talking the garden of Eden.
I can keep going if
you like
He's Christ. Hebrews 7 and 8 shed light on the intrigue of his personality. Now Christ is the only personality who is king and priest for ever. He introduced that priesthood upon his death and resurrection. Confirm it in Psalm 110. He is a priest forever.
@@ryanmozert Angel of the Lord. Fo sho bro. ❤️
@@akuneziriuju2950 I think so too. But I won't be dogmatic about it, just in case I'm wrong, I don't want to give worship to someone who isn't God.
But I think you're very likely correct.
@@coryc1904 you just proved my point. Worship God only. Look , Christ ADMITTED to being melchizedech in the new testament. would you like the scripture
bro, this has my head spinning in a good way. thanks for this.
When you repeated the bread and wine as what was given to Abraham, I was like oh! Communion.
My Bible group is doing a study on Hebrews....I am so grateful to find you....the research that needs to be done to understand Hebrews is insurmountable....I try to stay literal (true to the Word) and I am so excited about this book and I am thoroughly enjoying it...Thank you
Wow. I can't explain how grateful I am that the Lord has brought your teachings into my life. You digest and regurgitate the bible exactly as we are supposed to do. You look at every angle but are led by the Spirit in the proper direction. Thank you for being obedient.
So wonderful to have found your videos. I've learned so much. May God Almighty continue to bless you and your ministry.
May Yhuh (You-Who-Are)our Heavenly Father continually and eternally Bless us all 🙏🏻
Your enthusiasm for the things of God is very infectious, in a good way! Thank you for your hard work & study! Thank you for passing this on! God bless🙏🏼
What is amazing about this event is, how did Melchizedek able to meet Abraham at the exact time after winning the war. How did he know Abraham won the war immediately?
All through God Almighty. Don't ask how just believe as the new testament says. And how great this is of what believers can say when situations like this occurs

I stumbled across this video but ended up subscribing. This guy is relatable and very easy to understand. I also like how he debunks various side claims as he goes. I'm very interested in seeing more of his stuff
I was having a pretty tough day but now I have something to be excited about 😃
This makes so much sense! Man, Mike, these videos are invaluable. This makes me look at the Old Testament in a whole new, more robust way. What a blessing. Thanks pastor mike.
37:00 - I just read through Genesis 14 with my family this past Sunday. I was able to touch on the Melchizedek connection in Hebrews but you said it far better than I. *The priesthood that would supersede the Levites came long before the Levites & Abraham himself tithed to it!*
I love how watching your videos gives me more faith in Jesus. And every time I am reassured that I made the right decision to follow God and be a Christian especially when you elaborate at the 42:26 - 43:26 mark.
Truly you are a blessing from God Mike =)
Ah, I agree with your explanation of 'without father or mother, without genealogy' meaning it was left out of the text. The reason too I think is because genealogy was the very requirement for the Jewish priesthood of the line of Levi, the sons of Aaron. Saying that Melchizedek was without genealogy would have explained to the readers that he was not a priests as required in the Jewish line of priests.
Love this discourse! The fact that the writer of Hebrews elaborates on Melchizedek so much has always fascinated me.
Hello Jeana I'm thinking you hit the nail on the head ty
This might be my favourite one yet of this series so far. It's amazing Mike how you can pull all the pieces of the scripture together to make a cohesive whole. Even though we don't know all the details we would like to know about Melchizedek, the Bible gives us enough to chew on and also so we can see the typology and comparison between Jesus and Melchizedek. Great stuff! Looking forward to the rest.
Thank you for this amazing introduction to Melchizedek for me 🙏🕊 wonderful talk
Thank you so much for unravelling the priesthood of Melkizedek's connection to Jesus, it makes sense to me now. I was a little muddled before and have been asking God to show me and help me to understand and He brought you to me. Blessings to you and yours always.
👑Yes You Are...King of kings and our Coming Messiah.
Praise the Lord!!! Really good clarity on Melchizedek. It just adds to what I believe about the book of Hebrews and it’s purpose. Persecution was beginning around that time and many Jewish believers in Jesus began to go back to Judaism to escape and so the writer of Hebrews encouraged the believers to stay firm in the faith since Jesus is better than Moses and the Law and so on.
David Pawson speaks about it in the “unlocking the Bible” series on Hebrews.
Praying that those who call (and live for the Lord) continue to grow as one body with one mind and one accord!!
Fascinating how Melchizidek reappears throughout the Bible and especially His birth, sent by God, will we ever know Melchizidek's identity, love reading about Him, it gives me chills xxx
I was talking to this guy I guess a pastor rabbi or something he was stuck with the idea that the Jews were still waiting for the messiah.i told him about MELCHIZEDEK and how he had no earthy father or mother was a KING AND A PRIEST OF THE MOST HIGH GOD A TITLE NO JEW OR NO HUMAN HAS EVER HELD.AND HE WAS RHE KING OF PEACE.SALEM . JESUS SAID BEFORE ABRAHAM I AM MOSES ASKED THE BURNING BUSH WHO SHOULD I SAY SEND ME ( I AM SENT YOU) AND IF DAVID SAID THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND WELL THAT MY FRIEND SAYS IT ALL BECAUSE WHO ELSE ( SITS AT THE RIGHT HAD OF THE FATHER) JESUS .

Read the book of 2 Enoch you will learn the full story of of Noah and Melchizedek
And you will understand that he was born supernaturally the same as Jesus Christ
Hi pastor Mike, I'm John from Pakistan listing to your series for awhile now. May God bless you snd fo pray for me to help me get closer to God and fulfill my calling
Thank you for all your hard work. You are so encouraging. Your passion is contagious.
God bless you Pastor Mike. This preaching was helpful
May Yhuh (You-Who-Are)our Heavenly Father continually and eternally Bless us all 🙏🏻
I just watched around 60% of your explanation in this video. And, a thought came to my mind.
From your explanation about typology between Old and New Testament, and from your explanation about Melchisedek was a real King and Priest of a Kingdom called Salem, and he blessed Abraham, I then saw a common pattern between John the Baptist and Melchisedek.
They both prepared the coming of a person assigned by God for the salvation of His people. Abraham was a father of those who have faith. Jesus is the Messiah. Melchisedek blessed Abraham as a sign of God about who Abraham was, John the Baptist baptized Jesus as a sign of God about who Jesus was.
This is interesting. Really.
oh
Melchizedek had no ancestors, but both Johns parents were from the priestly line
I really wish I could find a church that has a pastor that teaches with such enthusiasm.
Just found your channel yesterday...❤❤ your videos. Very biblically sound
Men I love the way you teach, your an example to everyone to just be yourself. Praise Jesus
Thank you so much for this Pastor Mark, I mean Pastor Mike!
Pleasssse can you do a full study on Hebrews now that you’re done with Mark. I’ve been studying it and it has so much depth
I love this. Makes me want to go and study more of the old testament, that I have previously have mostly kept away from doing. Seeing Christ in the olds testament, had been something that has inspired me inn the past, however, the tools you pointed out are fantastic and am so appreciative that you have done so.
The way you Christians "find" Jesus in the Tanakh is this: You shoot an arrow into a tree. You then paint a bulls-eye around the arrow and call it a "prophesy." Unless you are studying Tanakh with Orthodox Jews - who are well versed in Hebrew, its root words, and its numerical values - you will *never* understand its true meanings. And you will definitely never find out that *nothing* in Tanakh foreshadows Jesus. A messiah? Yes. But you'll have to study with a rabbi to completely, and properly, understand who Moshiach (messiah) is supposed to be.
@@suckitdipwad250 Just read Genesis 48:15-16
There you have in Jacob's word that he Malakh YHVH is non other than God.
Paraphrasing: The God my fathers walked with, the Malakh who saved me, may he bless these lads.
@@suckitdipwad250 Keep in mind that Moshiach has the same gematria as Nachash 358. As Moshe lifted up the serpent so the son of man must be lifted up. Rabbis say that by beholding an impure animal like a pig, they can become healed.
Joshua ben Nun(Fish=Man) is the one who lifts up the brith.
Also moshiach ben Joseph is the same as yeshua. But Joseph (Christians) is not recognized by their brothers, but finally we are told that this evil was meant by God to save many.

karen munthe EXACTLY!!!! The genealogy isn’t recorded.
karen munthe I’ll watch this whole thing very soon. You say no other Pastor gets it?
Perhaps both refer to his lack of LEVITIC genes. His priesthood didn't have its "beginning" with (wasn't inherited from) Aaron. Rather, he was appointed by God Most High to be priest FOREVER (without end)!
Mike, I am in a season where I physically don’t have time to do the kind of work it takes to exegete all this passages properly. We have moved our whole family across the state temporarily to care for my mother in law who is bedbound and not in her right mental state after an extended illness. Sometimes I’m fortunate if I get 15 uninterrupted minutes in the Word and prayer for personal study (prior to this I spent at least an hour a day in personal study). I still have to drive back across the state for my kids activities like theatre-we listen to your videos on the drive. This is like water for my thirsty soul. I love God’s Word and love mining for these treasures on my own. But right now, not having the time, I can listen as someone who has done the hard leg work serves up the feast. And it’s also brought up lots of good theology questions in the car to discuss with the 14, 11, and 7 year olds. We started with your Evidence for the Bible series and have moved onto this one. Thank you!
I keep learning & learning from these videos. So so grateful.
THE SPIRIT penetrates viscerally & the sun breaks through dark clouds as the wind blows today & a hawk flies over me every time you say JESUS AND MELCHIZEDEK's Names... Then an Owl began to hoot..mid-day hooting.. 3:27pm! here. NC...💕💕🌟🌟🌟🔥🔥PHenomenal🔥😇😇😇💕💕💕😳😳😳💕💕🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing, were reading Hebrew 5 on Sunday, were so confused. Lo and behold, this one is like a special for me. Bless you, Mike!
Great study brother! And great inight in Psalm. 110!
We as the called out assembly (Church), could never be Israel because of Christ's Melekzedek priesthood, since we in Christ are preist/kings and seated in Christ as Eph. 1; 2:1-10 states. It's all about being in Christ and His present position as Psalm 110:1 states. In the Kingdom the Melekzedek priesthood will reign over the Zadokian priesthood the inferior Ezek. 40-48!
His resurrection and accention change everything FOREVER!
MARANATHA!
I enjoyed listening to your explanation with references on Melchizedek.
Watching, loving and learning from this series. Thanks pastor for your devotion and teaching style. All praise and glory to God and how He has blessed you with skills that so many are lacking by those who claim they are preachers, teachers and pastors
Thank you for the thoughtful sermon, I'm glad it's available on youtube.
This is a very coherent teaching on a passage I’ve never really felt I understood aside from an inkling of this interpretation of the concept of no genealogy. However it seems obvious to me that Melchizedek is the true identity of Tom Bombadil. While Melchizedek has no genealogy and no begining of days Tom is the oldest and fatherless. While Melchizedek shows up for a brief episode to aid the protagonist in a battle so does Bombadil. Melchizedek and Tom Bombadil both have an area which is considered their domain. And finally it’s a reasonably common belief that they are both appearances of God or Eru respectively.
I appreciate you bringing up the debates based on the extra biblical texts. I have listened to Michael Heiser talk about this topic. After hearing your teaching, I realized that a lot that he said must be set aside because it contradicts the inspired text.
I really, really like your interpretation. I get excited when I hear theories that solve ALL of the "problems" surrounding a specific topic. I thank God for your enthusiasm for the Word. Keep up the great work!
I get the feeling Heiser has spelt so much time in school that he's elevated scholarship. He even mentioned the "yahwist and elohist" authors of the Penteteuch as if it wasn't written by moses but by other people compiling moses' (or somebody's) old texts.. Yeah right. So much "higher critical" scholarship has destroyed faith and limited the Bible.
Heiser actually says exactly what Mike says in this video 😊
To the other commenter: when he mentions the 'yahwist and elohist' writers, he's most probably quoting other scholarship. He doesn't hold to the JEDP thing.
He doesn't discount the possibility that there were editors involved, but that doesn't affect Scripture's inspiration: Heiser holds to the idea that God inspired and led all the people who were involved in the production of the text throughout time, so that what we have today is Holy Spirit-inspired Scripture.
As soon as I read Genesis14 on Melchizedek I new this had to a painting of a picture of what was to come. God is truly mighty oh I love this.
Yes, there are many sound Bible Scholars who would agree with you. I think you nailed the "Melchizedek" thing. 👍
Really glad I found this. I'm grateful I have been on the right track regarding Melchizedek. However, that's not always been the case. That's why it's important to continue to learn the Word. I really enjoyed this video!
Thanks for that episode, Mike. It was very timely for me, I'm getting ready to lead our group through Heb 5 and this will help my study. (Now if you could get that Heb 6 info out here in the next couple of weeks, that would be greeeaaaaat.)
I heard an interesting theory about the identity of Melchizedek. I don't put a lot of stock into it, but it's still interesting. The idea was the Melchizedek is actually Shem (not Shemp but Shem), Noah's son. The thought is that Shem could reasonably still been alive during Abraham's life and that he would have been someone who was known to many for his background.
czcams.com/video/VI1yRTC6kGE/video.html Good video!
Its impossible for Melchizedek to be Shem. Video makes a good case against the Shem theory...
You know what pastor Mike? I LIKE YOU! I've been watching your videos for months now after I was saved and I feel like your videos are my netflix series hahaha
Thanks so so much Pstr. Mike! This really is enlightening! GOD bless you more and use you continually for HIS glory! Praise HIM for your life!🙏😇
I chuckled when Pastor Mike said maybe real soon he will do a study on Hebrews. Here we are four years later and he is still saying the same thing. 😂 Love you Pastor. Keep up the great work! Hebrews study will happen soon. We believe in you!
Wow someone finally bronging this up thanks man
Thanks Pastor Mike, this was very helpful!
Brilliant! I watched it three times to make sure I got every detail. I have some friends who need to understand this.
Mike, Wow! It is a deep revelation.
Wow! Amazing teaching!!!! Could it still be possible that Melchizedek was a Christophony, because He will reign over the New Jerusalem (Salem) as King? Revelation 21:2. Just wondering... Thank you for your anointed teachings! You are a blessing!
@@arthura.2587
Melkizedek is Amorite, He builted temple in Salem, He died and resurrected before Christ, and he went to heaven to live continue forever as priest.
The text doesn't require Melchizedek to be anybody other than Melchizedek. A non-pagan, post-flood priest who is recognized in Scripture and by Abraham as a authentic servant of God.
@@bethanyh1637 Shem is a possibility
@@slibertas1996 The likelihood of it being Shem seems low. Hebrews emphasis on Melkizedek's lack of a genealogy would suggest he wasn't a person with a recorded genealogy in Scripture. I'm not saying that its impossible for it to be Shem, just that there is some serious wordjitzu required to make him fit.
@@miikatmp5873 yes that's correct. Angels are creations with beginnings, like humans.
Thanx for your personable message. It's always nice to find someone who can offer you this stuff in just the right "flavor"! Good orator! Love how you relate our faith to practical, current reality/psychology.
It doesn't matter the subject matter Mike teaches/preaches on, I still chuckle because I still can't get 🎶"You don't have to hide, when Jehovah's Witnesses come to your door,"🎶 out of my head.
😂
I have come across this late yet I want to say I really appreciate this bit of ministering. Good content, great spirit, I can sense the love and respect you have for the subject matter, the listeners and the Lord. That is an epic combo! Praise God and give Him thanks.
I agree that it does not seem proper to consider Melchizedek to be Jesus or the Christ because the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us at a certain place in time according to the order of things set as in place by Yahweh.
Thanks and blessings in Jesus' name.
Hey Mike, your stuff has been helping me grow in my faith tremendously. It has truly been a blessing, on par, if not better than a lot of what I've heard from Michael Brown and William Lane Craig, and I have listened to both of those guys a lot. I just wish I found you sooner.
I was wondering if you have any videos planned on Secondary Separation? Servus Christi makes a good case that I'm having a hard time refuting through scripture and it's very troublesome to me. The idea that WLC could be guilty for not rebuking Catholic doctrine when given the chance to speak out against it (he seems to classify it as Mere Christianity) making him complicit and therefore guilty in spreading a false Gospel is very depressing to me. I don't want to have to give up learning from him or forgo sharing his material. Same goes for Dr. Brown, who although doesn't believe you can hold to Catholic doctrine and be saved (from what I've heard), he seems to be associated with people who do.
Here is a link Servus Christi's case for Secondary Separation: czcams.com/video/hT9aQyl7p-8/video.html.
If you can't give it a listen, I totally understand. If you're even interested, let me know and I'll try to list his case by the scripture he provides.
I love WLC. But...... I don't really trust him very much as a teacher. Mainly because he believes in evolution and billions of years etc. Pretty ridiculous really.
But yeah he's a cool dude mostly.
This is my first time hearing about this! Madness! I love the word of God. Thank you Pst Mike
love this topic!!
The way you explain things really blesses me pastor mike. You make even hard things easier to understand
Q: If in Hebrews chapter 5 says that Jesus prayed with vehement cries to be saved from death, and was heard by God, how is it that Jesus still went to the cross and died on it?
My A: Just because God the Father heard Jesus' prayer DOES NOT MEAN He was changing His mind about His Son going to the cross to die. Jesus prayed, "Not My will, but Yours be done." God's promises are Yes and Amen, but His answers to our prayers can be Yes, No, or Wait.

This is the most complete and compelling study on Jesus as Melchizadek. Love it. Challenge you to listen and be blessed! He brings out bread and wine, a King and a priest, preceding the Levitical priesthood, Posessor of heaven and earth, God Most High, the One and Only God!

Pastor Mike, in the New Living Translation, Hebrews 7:3 it says, "There is no record of his father and mother or any of his ancestors-no beginning or end of his life..". You may be on to something. I agree with you!
Shem's 'siblings' were drowned in the Flood?
I think Melchizedek represents God’s kingdom, which The Bible says in Isaiah 9:7 will never end. This verse also says His kingdom is righteous and speaks of its greatness and peace. Melchizedek means, “king of righteousness.”
Thank you for your explanation, especially the Hebrews section. Just become a Christian after leaving Mormonism and this was something I was really trying to understand.
Been waiting to hear your thoughts on this one 🤗
Thank you, Lord, for calling and equipping Winger for this job. And thank you, Mike, for doing it!
My Theory is that Shem , Jobe and Melchizedek are all the same person.
Because he is from before the flood he will out live his children and grandchildren have children younger than grandchildren.
That is nonsense. Shem was dead for 500 years or more.
Bilingual Bible. Hebrews 7:3
[3]Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
Na walang ama, walang ina, walang tandaan ng lahi, at walang pasimula ng mga araw ni katapusan ng buhay man, datapuwa't naging katulad ng Anak ng Dios), ay nanatiling saserdote magpakailan man.
I know we aren't encouraged to read extra biblical books but Jasher was referred to two times in the old testament book and epistles. From there one will see that Shem was alive during the time of Abraham and they were acquaintances, and Shem carried the generational knowledge of God (based on the definition of Melchizedeck, it is possible the priest was Shem). Shem lived in Salem. Therefore eternity of Melkezedeck is his priesthood which stated with God himself and continued with Seth and is continuing in Christ to eternity.
Melchizedek’s name was translated “king of righteousness” (Hebrew 7:2). And Salem means peace.
And he was Shem
Great teaching! Thank you so much! You just reminded me something so great! I remember I use to tell people that the only
Reason which made me to trust JESUS and to give my life to JESUS and to believe that surely he reign and he is a son of GOD simple because of the way he was teaching and the way he use to give those Pharisee's the unique answers from their trick questions that is only reason I decided to follow JESUS from my childhood and I am so glad that I find him.
May GOD bless you I really enjoy your teaching
Book of Jasher, indicates that "Shem" the son of Noah, is Melchizedek... Melchizedek is a title given to a righteous person, in which empowers a person when they are righteous... and there fore is without end of days....
and no records of Shem's siblings
I feel like my head is going to explode.! Been following Melchizedek and Christ .. so much information.. so many cross scriptures from new and Old Testament.. so much to think about .. will give it a couple of days snd listen to it again! Thanks for all your research !
Abraham also didn't seem to respond to Melchizedek like others in the old Testament when they meet God. For example he didn't bow down or fear for his life.
He did bow down smh
@@treyology3Blueflame can you show me where? I can't find it.
He didn't bow down but he tithed to him. Also, there's an OT convention that the blesser is superior to the blessed.
He is Shem born before the flood so he out lived his children grand children and great grandchildren giving the impression that he has no beginning. He knew the Lord.I think he is also Jobe that part of his life is after the flood and before he met Abraham.
Melchizedek is Jesus Christ, just as The Angel of the Lord who showed up to Abraham, Hagar, Joshua, and Samson's parents, is Jesus. Blessings to you.
No. Melchixedek pictures the Son of God, so he represents Christ. The Messenger of the Lord was powerful glorious angel who came in the name and authority of God who spoke for God as His representative.
I love this!!!!! I CANNOT wait for your study through Hebrews!!!!! ❤❤❤❤. I’m leading a bible study on Hebrews right now and we could go SO MUCH deeper every week. I appreciate your insight
Melchizedek is a type of Jesus Christ.
I've heard that Melchizedek could have been Shem. Have anyone else ever heard that? I can't remember where I heard it though.
Yes, I have heard this before. Shem actually was still living in Abraham's time. In fact Shem out lived Abraham by 35 years. Also the blessing that Noah gave Shem is eerily close to the blessing that was given to Abraham by Melchizedek. We must look closely that Melchizedek if given in the phrase : in the order of Melchizedek, which indicates a title or position, not a specific person.
