Hebrews

Chapter 7

1 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; abideth a priest continually.

4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

Make no mistake dear Saint. Melchizedek was a real person who met Abraham. This person was the physical person here on earth as Jesus Christ who has existed for eternity as the Visible Image of God, the fullness of the Godhead Bodily. Colossians 1:15, 2:8 King James Bible.

The description in Hebrews is literal = the Lord Jesus Christ is MELCHIZEDEK ... No mere earthly king “remains a priest forever,” and no mere human is “without father or mother.” Genesis 14 describes a theophany, Jesus Christ came to give Abraham His blessing (Genesis 14:17–19), appearing as the King of Righteousness (Revelation 19:11,16), the King of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), and the Mediator between God and Man (1 Timothy 2:5).

Melchizedek, whose name means “king of righteousness,” was a king of Salem (Jerusalem) and priest of the Most High God (Genesis 14:18–20; Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 5:6–11; 6:20—7:28).

Abraham meets Melchizedek after Abraham’s victory at Chedorlaomer and his three allies. Melchizedek presented bread and wine to Abraham and his weary men, the foreshadowing of the Lord's Supper Matthew 26:26 KJV.

He bestowed a blessing on Abraham in the name of El Elyon (“God Most High”) and praised God for giving Abraham a victory in battle (Genesis 14:18–20). See my detailed study in links on the GODHEAD vs Trinity. Eloheim.

In Psalm 110, a messianic psalm written by David (Matthew 22:43), Melchizedek is presented as a type of Christ. This theme is repeated in the book of Hebrews, where both Melchizedek and Christ are considered kings of righteousness and peace. By citing Melchizedek and his unique priesthood as a type, the writer shows that Christ’s new priesthood is superior to the old levitical order and the priesthood of Aaron (Hebrews 7:1–10).
Melchizedek was actually a pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus Christ, or a Christophany. Especially given that Abraham received such a visit later, in Genesis 17—18, when Abraham saw and spoke with the Lord (JEHOVAH) in the form of a man.

Hebrews 6:20 says, “[Jesus] has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” This term order would ordinarily indicate a succession of priests holding the office.

Hebrews 7:3 says that Melchizedek was “without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.” The question is whether the author of Hebrews means this actually or figuratively.

The idea of a pre-incarnate Jesus is not biblical. Pre-Incarnate literally means before existing in a body (flesh). The case could be made that John says in 1 John 4:2

King James Version

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

be (v.)

Old English beon, beom, bion "be, exist, come to be, become, happen,"

The verb "To Be" is the most complicated verb in the English language and yet it is the most common. When the verb "to be" is used as an auxiliary verb in the present perfect tense which was done frequently 500 years ago during the publishing of the King James bible, it does not mean the same as the auxillary verb "to have" as we see in modern day English.

To be in this context means: TO OCCUR.

"IS COME" = This event occurs.

Although Jesus Christ has always existed as a man, person (NOT A HUMAN) his announcement as coming as the baby through the uteris of Mary named Jesus Christ did not occur until the New Testament. See my detailed study on Jesus Christ was not conceived in the Ovum (egg) of Mary nor by the Sperm of Joseph but rather was conceived by the Holy Spirit in Mary's Uteris and came forth as a baby born of water with blood.
