Great observation....there are dark motives behind the conclusion of this short video.... simply put I believe there was one eternal high priest, and there remains one high priest of God....not two......if you are correct about DreamWorks comment.... people should note that Steven Spielberg is DreamWorks CEO I think 🤔....some motives here....I think so....not good motives, I think so🤔....what do you think ?????
Would you like to work with me to refute a few videos of the channel called “Jesus Words Only”? He denies the Messiah divinity. Let me know, I live in Queensland. Australia.
The passage of Melchizedek meeting Abram (at the time) in the field where he confronted the king of Sodom after he had captured Lot is pretty incredible... What two items does Melchizedek bring? Bread. Wine. The sacraments of communion. He prepares Abram a table... in presence of his enemies.
@fritzco55 was Jesus reading the past when He was reading The Old Testament or was He reading His future? From His current viewpoint, everything that is written has already happened, but for us it hasn't been fully happened yet.
You are ignorant ... He only gave that same Name Moses was told about!!! That The Great "I AM" before Abraham!!! Moses and the Hebrews only knew Him as "I AM"!!! In the old Hebrew language. This is what the Messiah actually testified about himself to the Jews!!! John 10:34-36 Jesus answered them, *“Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’* If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came-and Scripture cannot be set aside- what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, *‘I am God’s Son’?* Psalm 82:6-7 “I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’ But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.” This was about him and Adam. Only these two qualifies ... both created in the sinless image of their Creator!!! But only Adam fell!!!
@@madikaldoktor9986 Forgive me if I speak in error. And help me clarify these verses. Jesus says this to a group of Pharisees. “ Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad. “ - John 8:56 This prompted the Pharisees to challenge Jesus and ask him this question. “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!” - John 8:57 The Pharisees seem to be clearly mocking Jesus about his age. They are saying that because he is so young, there is no way he knew Abraham or that Abraham had seen him like Jesus claimed. “ Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad. “ - John 8:56 So because they did not believe Jesus had seen Abraham because he was so young, Jesus responded by saying… “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” - John 8:58 So it would seem to me, that Jesus is obviously implying that by some supernatural means, he predated the existence of Abraham. Not only does he predate Abraham, but he goes as far as to call himself “I AM”. The Pharisees seem to understand what Jesus was implying, because they sought to stone him right after. “ At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds. “ - John 8:59 This is my reasoning for believing that Jesus Christ referred to himself as “I AM”. What are your thoughts?
Me angry? Nope. None of my two profile pics are angry ... this and another of a boy digging his nose ... This is Zakar Naik (penis risen) digging his nose ...
The idea of Melchizedek as a theophany of Christ is very interesting. When Jesus tells the pharisees that He knows Abraham and He would have rejoiced to see this day, I've always kind of pictured that as Abraham and Jesus interacting in heaven. The idea that it could have been recalling the moment with Melchizedek is one I hadn't considered.
I am a theophany of Jesus we all are! That's a pretty silly word. I love the words people make up in religion. I made one up to inform people that the trinity is nonsensical and limiting. God exists in Father Son Spirit and Body (that's us). Quadinity. Smooches I ain't ragging on ya it's the silly world we live in.
Are you a real person? There are no eyewitness accounts of you. If they are real accounts, all things pass away. It is the account of the unseen things that prove the seen. Not the other way around. You should already know this. Why the confusion?
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a pre-incarnate Jesus. He’s revealed himself in the OT before like in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. There certainly is reason to believe this theory
Remember that Jesus said in John 8 from verse 56 to 58. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
A few weeks ago I was trying to go to sleep and thinking about our LORD. I could not sleep a wink, but just kept hearing Melchizedek… Melchizedek… Melchizedek… in my head all night long. I never even really noticed him in the Bible, but now I can never forget. I still don’t fully understand why this had occurred.
One might notice that in Matthew 22:43 - 45, Jesus references Psalm 110. In doing so, he brings the entire psalm into the minds of those he is debating with. I believe that the reference to Melchizedek is implied in this reference, and I think it is part of why Jesus' statement was such an argument ender.
Great work, good points to consider in the overall nature of God…He is a wonderful God and His works are endless. Has been with us always, whether we see Him or not, whether we recognize Him or not. He will not forsake us. Thank you!
He will not forsake His children. We are all God's creation but we are not all God's children. To the wicked people who never believed in Jesus, He will say, Depart from me, I never knew you." These are powerful words from an omniscient God. These people will be cast into the Lake of Fire.
How is it possible that YB recommended a video about something I was reading this morning in a paper Bible is beyond me. I did not speak out loud the words, I did not google it, I did not even think about it until this video showed up.
Melchizedek in Jewish tradition is Shem, one of Noah’s sons. If this is the case, He would get his priesthood authority for his father with came from Adam and ultimately from God himself. Melchizedek is a type of Jesus Christ because of his righteousness. Abraham also received his priesthood authority from the same place. He spent 40 years of his life in the House of Noah under the tutelage of Noah and Shem.
According to some, the Jewish tradition is a forgery. Manuscript evidence points overwhelmingly that the Jewish scribes altered their "New" Hebrew long after Christ as all the old Hebrew texts were long gone and they needed a debunking.
@babayaga9570 melchizedek and shem aren't the same person, that is the point. Manuscript evidence proves this. The jews altered their own books POST-CHRIST in order to debunk him. To debunk this comment, you have to destroy ALL the ancient manuscripts and all corresponding research into the subject and wait a few generations.
Which means it is almost certainly incorrect. Having a tiny reference to him and no connection to what the future symbolism is, would radically alter who the Jews would think he is.
You also may want to consider that John the Baptist was the last high priest of the Arronic line and that it was right for John to Baptize Jesus turning over the Arronic line to the Melchizedek line.
@@stevelovesgod Steve, Look at who John the Baptist parents were. Only a high priest from the Arronic line could enter into the Holy of Holy’s. The High Priests at that time had been appointed by Rome and would not dare enter the Holy of Holy’s. John was from the Aaronic line.
@@scottstebbins2841 So was their more than one high priest? Johns dad was a high priest., as he lost his voice until after he named his son John. John 18:19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. 20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. 21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said. 22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? 23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? 24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest. 25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not. 26 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
@@scottstebbins2841 John was a Levite., but because his dad was a high priest., doesn't make John a high priest. Who were the high priest that were talking to Jesus then if John the baptist was a priest?
'Typology" is often used in the Bible, Adam, Moses, Noah, Jonah, etc were all types of Christ. This authenticates scripture even more when you can see the Savior being revealed throughout history and time from the beginnings of creation, through to the new testament
@@kristophstjames4143 Right. I'm not refuting that they are resembling who Christ is and that they do not exemplify certain aspects of who Jesus would be. I'm just saying that I think using Type of Christ is somewhat vague and can miss the point. Moses like you said is a phenomenal foreshadowing of what Christ would be to humanity saving us from slavery to sin, he is not however Christ himself, he is like Jesus Christ. To say he is a type of Christ to me sounds like saying that he himself was actually Jesus appearing as a person in the Old Testament. We both know that they are two different people but to someone who isn't familiar with typology or scripture they might get confused, I know I would.
Romans 5:14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. The Greek word used for type here is typos. It means to resemble, to model, or to imitate.
@@joshrichards9121 Right. I am not refuting that, I'm just saying that type in the English meaning of the word is going to throw people off from what is truly meant by type of Christ. It would be more accurate to say something along the lines of an allusion to or foreshadowing of Christ or like you said yourself a resemblance or imitation.
Most fabulous explanation..... and the scripture tells us Jesus Christ was in the order of Melchizedek. I absolutely believe that Christ and Melchizedek are one and the same . The Bible says that Jesus Christ is our Royal high priest.
@@brianj5495it kinda feels like most people throw out other possibilities in order to back up the trinity theory in any way possible but I kinda think that order may be something else in its entirety not everything that happened is in the Bible only the things god would like us to know not everything is given or needs an explanation it’s only theory’s that people try to desperately connect to like Enoch
Thanks again, brother! You will be in my daily prayers! May continued blessings be given to you! "It is not by power! It is not by might! It is by My Spirit"; saith Yah! Oh, that His people would know. Isaiah 11:1-5 is foundational to this as well; as we are the temple and are priests and kings (in training?). Much love is sent your way!
Great work here! The Captain of the Host of the Lord appearing to Joshua imo is also a most compelling argument for Christophany. The worship and removal of shoes, and the line "Am I now come" are highly provocative. I don't see how Christophany threatens the incarnation and resurrection. All serve as miracles, signs, and wonders, sufficient to announce the Gospel to the unbeliever, sufficient for the faith of God's elect.
All of Humanity is Christ's church. Calvinism is a twisted man made doctrine created in the 1500's that is so far from the truth and has no actual scriptural or historical basis. None of the early church fathers were Calvinist, and there was certainly NO concept of hell in Christianity for the FIRST FIVE CENUTRIES of Christianity. Regardless, even if there was a supposed "Hell"; God said that the punishment for Sin was DEATH which is lapsing into non being, not Eternal Conscious Torment. God isn't a liar. When did God change the penalty for sin from Death to eternal conscious torment? Because clearly he didn't. God doesn't Lie, so Death is clearly the punishment for Sin under the Old Covenant Law (Which was fulfilled by Jesus Christ's Crucifixion and Resurrection, thus leading to the New Covenant). You should also take into account that all uses of the word "Hell" in the bible are Mistranslations of the Greek words Hades and Tartarus, and the Hebrew words Sheol and Gehenna (Which is an actual physical place in Jerusalem called The Valley of Hinnom. Everybody is in Christ whether they know it or not. All are God's elect, with their own God given individual purposes. I suggest you re-read your bible for yourself with this perspective and see how much more sense it makes. Here are a few places to start.
1 Peter 4:6 - For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit. Galatians 3:28 - There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Luke 20:38 - He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive. 1 Timothy 2:1-6 - I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. (This one specifically gets the point you should be paying attention to across and says that God wants ALL people to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. Since God will not lie and will ALWAYS succeed in carrying out his will, then ALL OF HUMANITY WILL BE SAVED) 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 - But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he “has put everything under his feet.”[c] Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all. Romans 5:12-21 - Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned- To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
Thank you so much for this. It appears the Lord had chosen Jerusalem as His realm even before Abraham had come. This is a very interesting thought about this spot on the earth.
Not many people know this, but in Jerusalem there is a site called the 1st Temple, or the "Temple of Melchizedek." It's not found on the traditional Temple Mount.
The Catholic priesthood often refers to Melchizedek as an embodiment of the priesthood, and that makes it forever. There’s are also interesting fictional references of him in the book “The Alchemist”. My grandfather is always asking and talking about Melchizedek. Can’t wait to show him this. Great argument
The catholic church fulfills the prophesies of the antichrist and the beast system. From Rome being the city of many ethnicities that sits atop 7 hills, matching the beast of the sea. To the Dragon giving power over the saints to the beast for 1260 years with Justinian Code granting total authority over the church in 536 AD and began to be enforced in 538 when the siege of Rome was broken. The catholic church went on to rule over christians, torturing and murdering millions for 1260 years until 1798 when Napoleon arrested the Pope and ended catholic control. The bible says when one of the heads of the beast of the sea is wounded, another beast of land will rise up. Sea representing a multitude of peoples, the land represents a sparse and uninhabited land. In 1798 America was officially recognized as a nation by the world. The same year the first beast was wounded, and all nations look to America and say "who can conquer America? Who can make war with the beast?" The popes also fulfilled the prophecy of the antichrist attempted to alter God's laws and appointed times. Which is undeniably what happened when the Pope changed the 10 commandments (laws) to make Sunday the sabbath (a time appointed by God).
My opinion about hebrew 7:3 is that the mention of 'Without a family register' in that case does not mean that Melchisedek was not born or had no descendants, only that this register is not mentioned. Rather, based on Ps.110:4 (quoted in vs.17), it is that Melchisedek did not become king and priest by succession, but because another had appointed him. This then required swearing an oath. David was from the tribe of Judah, and therefore no one from his progeny could ever become a priest, because the priests in Israel were from the tribe of Levi. But when God Himself pledges the priesthood to someone from David's posterity, by swearing an oath, they can become both king and priest - not the priesthood after the order of Aaron, but after the order of Melchisedek. In this way, Christ, who is of the lineage of David, can become a priest. We must therefore think of Christ's priesthood as an official appointment. Melchisedek did not receive the dignity of king and priest by his father or by his mother. He was appointed to this.
Throughout my whole life I’ve been asking people who was Melchizedek in the Bible no one never gave me a real explanation until TODAY I finally understand who He was
He’s Jesus in an early time, Jesus has always existed. On the road he walks with disciples after he rose and they didn’t recognise him. He can appear however he wants
Unless I'm mistaken, Strong's Concordance shows that Hebrews 7:3 is saying that Melchizedek's geneology is unrecorded although Yehoshua's genealogy is recorded in The Gospels. However, the whole O T is about Yehoshua. He is The Word of Yahweh that became flesh (John 1); The Word of Yahweh who appeared to Abraham (Gen 15). Peace!
This is a great video. 7:32-7:34 I do have a question about why you concluded that the author of Hebrews only referenced Genesis 14 and Psalm 110 as source material when explaining Melchizedek. In Jude, there are references to an exchange between Michael and the devil and there is also a quote from Enoch that aren't included in scripture. This tells me that those who wrote scripture had source material that is not always included in scripture.
thats incorrect First Jude did not Quote the book of Enoch., People keep stating that. Explain how its referencing the book of Enoch. Jude is quoting Enoch himself. The "book of Enoch" contains many problems and is not an inspired work. The book of Revelation and Daniel., these are writings inspired by God., that's the source material., not sound lost documents like you are eluding to.
@@stevelovesgod nonsense, 1 Jude:14-15 are directly referencing Enoch 1:9, the reference is so incontrovertible in fact that Jude, filled with the Holy Spirit, not only refers to Enoch by name (never done in Daniel nor Revelation), but also restates in his Epistle what is stated in Enoch 1:9. Furthermore, you’re correct in that it is not a “lost book” because the oldest standing Christian canon of the Ethiopian church holds this text. But you, Steve who loves God, would have me take Jude as a fool; a proposition I can only imagine you to make believing you are filled with a Holier Spirit than Jude? Lastly, as you hand wave away both scripture and prophets that seem to you, a modern English speaking Protestant (I could only presume, forgive me), to be problematic, please kindly explain: ignoring for a moment the exactitude of the reference itself, how could Jude be “quoting Enoch himself”? Did Enoch repeat to him in an unmentioned vision or appearance from heaven? Was Jude with Enoch before the flood? And if Enoch has directly repeated exactly what he said in Enoch 1:9 to Jude, in this not an affirmation of the book of Enoch? Please, by all means, I would love to know your basis for how Enoch’s inexplicable communication with Jude that is totally not via scroll invalidates the very same prophecy in the book of Enoch. Enlightenment me.
Christina, despite what some people and their intense modern sensitivities would have you believe, the writers of the Gospels and Epistles not only drew from text and scrolls no longer considered “palatable” or “correct” -err “canon” to the modern _Christian_ appetite, but also oral tradition and practice no longer regarded in the modern context of _sola scriptura_ - a very _innovative_ dogma of the West the Bible writers may have found comedic considering most of the Apostles were likely not literate.
The Bible is the greatest jigsaw puzzle ever made when we try to piece it together we find nothing but contradictions only because we don't know how all the pieces fit perfectly together.
When reading without understanding the local politics of that time and who the people were it is a jigsaw puzzle. Understanding the history of the Kana’ani people (what the Phoenicians called themselves) it becomes very clear The Bible is a chronicle of the Jewish peoples but leaves out that they are also Kana’ani (Canaanite) that distinguish themselves by their worship of YHWH and El (which are Canaanite gods apart of the full pantheon) There are two distinct timelines in the Old Testament before and after the exile in to Babylon. Before you have the Hebrew peoples struggling with the worship of various gods , many of their kings still have names that include other Phoenician sic Canaanite gods. They mainly warred with other Canaanite city states including other Hebrew city states Judea, Israel and Samaria were often at odds. After Babylon they are fundamentally changed and become strict Yahwehist the idea of the temple is more spiritual than physical, which sets the stage for Pharisee, Sadducee’s and Jesus’ teachings. Post Babylon Judaeans are distinctly their own culture and less like their Canaanite cousins. The Bible as we know it is strongly influenced by post Babylonian authorship, however if you look at the rest of Canaan post Babylon they are also going through similar cultural shifts. The Phoenician (Canaanite) world was completely traumatized by Babylonian conquest.
PLEASE ALLOW ME TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS SUBJECT: His name was probably Malek-Sadeg. In Semitic languages, Malek means king. And Sadeq could have been a proper name (common in the Middle East), or it could have been a title. Sadeq means one who is truthful. It is obvious from the story in the Bible that monotheism already existed in Salem/Jerusalem when Abraham arrived there. It is very likely that Abraham was a convert to this faith. Melchizedek's temple has recently been discovered, and it's laid out exactly as early Hebrew temples. Melchizedek could also have been a prophet, and he was certainly a priest. In the 'Order of Melchizedek' means following the religion, priesthood and prophethood of Melchizedek. My point is that Abraham was not the founder of monotheism, but a follower of the religion that pre-existed in Salem. There is also a possibility that Abraham came to Levant at the invitation of Melchizedek. But one thing that we can be sure of is that he followed the same religion.
The old testament itself is a metaphor of Christ's coming and God's love. We have to read it like a prophesy book, finding jesus in every corner of the old testament. Melchizedek is one example of that. Good effort bro...a lot of time had gone into making this video. Keep continuing....let's expand the kingdom of God. God bless you.God bless all.
No it's not the old testament is about el elohim el shaddai an yehweh. New testament is about eloha adonai thaus and ouranos. Jesus condemned el shaddai God of abraham. So he didn't uphold abrahamic tradition meaning he was a false prophet
@@algl4712 Different sects, had different interpretations. Prophets never "go with the flow." They offer a chance to course correct and return to the Lord. The choice is yours. Choose wisely.
There is nothing of Tanakh that a how's the coming of jesus. That's just made up pagan nonsense that false teachers want you to beleive to have you propagate their lie.
@@algl4712 In the Sumerian mythos, El and Ea are brothers, each religion draws from this. El destroys, Ea creates with water (chaos). Jesus is the son of Ea. El is the focus of the religions other than Christianity. In the recorded instructions of shuruppak which were later simplified into the ten commandments, through Noah, we are told to not question the words of our personal God. This all aligns well with the creation of each individual religion. We've been separated to weaken us since the Tower of Babel. Lmk if you think that sounds bizarre.
in my opinion, when it says "without father or mother" simply means that if you were a Levite, you were a Levite because you were born from Levite parents. This "person" was a high priest, but not a Levite - not because he had Levite parents. V5 supports this when it refers to the "sons of Levi".
Yes, an appointed priesthood. And, a higher one. Birthed, sort of divinely, from a woman named Sothonim, who "gave birth" after she had just died. A woman who was evidently made with child, similar to Mary with Jesus. She was wife to Noah's brother, Nir. Sothonim was regarded as infertile and having not been with her husband since he was appointed a priest about a year earlier. The pregnancy was unnerving to her husband. She died during heated and emotional arguing, but not from violence. Probably a stroke or heart attack. When Nir and Noah went to bury her, they left the body briefly, when they returned a child was at the grave. A very special child. People forget Noah came out special, too. According to the Bible, he came out White, like the angels... His father freaked out and ran to his father, Methuselah... And was like, "Should I kill her?" He thought his wife had coitus with an angel and Noah was the result. Not unheard of, at that time. So, there were some wild things going on just before the great flood, eh?
I've heard he might be Shem, Noah's son. I think one of the insights from this is that God reveals and has revealed Himself to more people than just the Israelites or the Jews. Yes, Abraham's seed is destined to bring righteousness to the whole human race, and indeed has, but that doesn't mean God has never interacted with other lineages. We do not know who taught Melchizedek, what books he or his people might have written, or why they were not around after the Exodus. But it is extremely evident that the same God of Abraham is also the God of Melchizedek, operating at the same time in different places.
Amazing Video.....was hanging onto every word attentively. I've seen many teachings on Melchizedek but all....sort of....fall short. But your teaching is quite good and appeals to spotlight The LORD GOD JESUS HIMSELF.....Which is crazy cool. Takes me right back to Proverbs 25:2 (which shows that GOD choses to conceal stuff) and 2 Timothy 2:15 (where GOD wants us to Study HIS WORD......) Another crazy thing....This word "Study" has been removed from all new versions except he KJV. Go figure.
Good on you for being up on the accurate account in your comment, Friend. Respect! Esprecially in how you connect the many dots in relation to Father God's Word about how He repeatedly spoke of or referenced choosing to keep certain things "secret/hidden" specifically in the end of times... Great vid great comment love a new petspecti and hearing different bible based discussions. Also, @Brendan Christopher LaCroix Solo appalling to know not just one person or a few random someones attempted to and succeded to bebrasin ebough to take away add and chsnge from The Hoky Bibke Wie To Those ebntire institutions for the potential souls for Jesus that they may have just sold to Satan, and think about if it were one of your own kids reading their bible thinking it's truly God's word to later find out it WAS ALTERED BY MERE MAN?!?? Uhh do we NOT already have plenty enough stress and anxiety in OUR youth and our own generation even then gen above that attempt to help them learn how walk through well and grow and successfully see them be able to heal with it and see them grow from it... all that is fiundationakky rooted in OUR FAITH IN THE WORD OF GOD OUR PERFECT FATHER AND hbALL HIS PROMISES TO US ARE SUDDENLY BEING CHANGED OR GOING ENTIRELY MISSING OR GETTING MORE ADDED TO IT THAT GOD DID NOT WRITE huge no no he def go na have s9 e explaining to do!!
The word "study" in the KJV is the Greek word _spoudazó_ which simply means "to give diligence" which is how most modern translations interpret this word. So whether we are studying God's Word or giving our diligence to God's Word, they both essentially mean the same thing.
So if you study Phoenician history Melchizedek was a Kana’ani (Canaanite) ruler of YryShalom (city of peace; yry meaning city) who worshipped El Zedek or Zadok was likely a dynastic name as during the time of Joshua the king of Jerusalem (YryShalom) was Adonizedek (who’s name means Lord of Righteousness)who also worshipped El, but was overthrown by Joshua (Genesis 14:18-20) he is also mentioned in several other Canaanite historical records Over time many would be named for them but would later lose the Zedek and be replaced by YHWH Melchizedek becomes Malachiah and Adonizedek becomes Adonijah (Solomon’s older brother) Melchizedek and Adonizedek are likely dynastic titles for the rulers of Canaanite Jerusalem. The name Zedek continues to be a priestly name in Jerusalem, chances are they assimilated as they were also worshipers of El. The word Sadducees is actually a Hellenization of Zedekis a order of noble kohanim descendants of Zodak through the line of Levi (Which suggest the Israelite priesthood absorption of the local Canaanite priesthood since they had the same covenants and God and ancestral connection between Melchizedek and Abraham) So being a priest (kohen) of the order of Melchizedek means a direct connection to the ancient rulers of Jerusalem
Interesting note, the last king of Jerusalem and Judea before they were carried off into Babylonian captivity who’s name was MattasYahu (Mathias) was changed to ZedekYahu (Zedekiah) in order to gain legitimacy to the title
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints uses both the Aaronic (or Levitical priesthood/lesser priesthood) and the Melchizedek priesthood (or the higher priesthood). The original name of the Melchizedek priesthood, or the order of Melchizedek, is the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God (who is Jesus Christ). The name was changed out of reverence or respect to the Supreme Being in order to avoid to frequent repetition of His name. So before Melchizedek's time it was named after the Order of the Son of God, and after his time it was changed. Either way, it is through Jesus Christ that we can be saved, and Melchizedek knew that. Great video, very well made!
One thing that really pushed me away from Mormonism was that I found out Mormon was a person. And that his writings were found in the mountains by Joseph Smith. I instantly heard the verses in my head "if another presents to you another Jesus, do not believe them." "I have come in my fathers name and you recieved me not. Another will come in their own name, and him you will recieve." And "if they say he is in the mountains, do not go, do not be decieved." Mormon presents another Jesus that is similar but not the same as the New Testament teaches, his followers are known by the name Mormon more than Jesus, and his prophet came out of the mountains. It's almost the exact same as Mohammed and Islam, and Jesus gave the same warning about a prophet from the desert.
@@nickrichards1460 2 Cor 11:4 John 5:43 And I misquoted Matthew 24:26, it says the wilderness and inner rooms, I do not know why I thought mountains, however the tablets of mormon ARE kept in the inner room, away from the people. And while wilderness can describe where Joe Smith found his mormon teachings, wilderness is also substituted for desert in this verse
@@nickrichards1460 I would also point out though that God always leaves a remnant and doesnt allow his faithful to be wiped out, even under the sword of Islam. And a started work will not go unfinished. So it seems odd that there was not even any recognition of Christ among the natives to America considering mormon says Jesus started a work in the Americas that was utterly crushed and destroyed and eviscerated from history by Satan.
@@grantshearer5615 I appreciate your concern, I would like to add a point for clarification, while is was true that the Mormon was a person that compiled the book of Mormon, he is not worship and neither in Joseph Smith. The the Jesus that we worship is the same Jesus, and that name of the church has always been from it's inception "the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" the name of "Mormon" was originally coined by the churches detractors back in 1830 and became more widely used because it was a name that had become more common, so even now the general membership of the church have identified with the name of "Mormon" I'm not trying to sujest that you rethink your decision in any way, I just wanted to offer some clarification.
I hate to break your heart. This is a very well made video the only problem is Melchizedek isn't a name. Psalms 110 was written about King David, it's saying he will be a King and a Priest forever like Melchizedek. How could he trace his priesthood from Levi? Levi hadn't been born yet. Melchizedeks name is SHEM the Son of Noah and an ancestor of Abraham.
It can only be an early appearance of the Prince of Peace, without mother without father (in the fleshly sense), without beginning and without end. No ordinary human can fit this description - this is a being from above.
God no! Just make an analysis of his name, he has two Canaanite deity’s name in his: Mlk and Tsedeq, either “Mlk is righteous” or “my king is Tsedeq”. Considering his name is probably a theophoric name. Edit: his name could also be: “Malk is Tsedeq”. Which is very weird considering the name Yosadaq, meaning: “YHWH is Tsedeq”.
@@isaacgutierrez5152 writer of Hebrews was a bright fellow being moved by the holy spirit to enlighten us ... Melchizedek was an eternal being with an everlasting position as high priest....the shadow of the Levitical priesthood shows there is only one high priest at a time.... conclusion....two high priests are currently making intersession for believers ( not bloody likely) or Melchizedek and Jesus are one in the same person.....is there a third option 🤔..... let's keep it simple.... what do you think ???
@@donaldmonzon1774 I don’t know if he was a bright fellow, but Melchizedek was not eternal. You have a theophoric name to represent the king of Urushalim (Jerusalem) that’s why you have another king years later called: Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem (Joshua 10:1-4). Like I said before: what are you gonna do with the Mlk and Tsedeq names? Those are names of two Canaanite’s deities.
@@isaacgutierrez5152 is it just because satan is a cheap copycat he has a fake and a substitute for every attribute of God, and knows (by having access to the heavenly council eg. Job) even His various theophanies?
This all leads to Jesus our savior. It paints a picture of what Christ is doing in heaven right now. As a priest atoning for our sins now. Pointing back to the cross. How wonderful is our God
Loved the video thank you! In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we hold Melchizedek in high esteem. As mentioned in the video, we believe Melchizedek held a Priesthood different than the Levitical Priesthood. We believe his Priesthood was restored to the earth. So, in our church today we have two orders of Priesthood: the Levitical or Aaronic Priesthood and the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Levitical priesthood was imperfect and ended with the destruction of the Jewish 2nd temple. We have no need of Aaronic priests because we have a High Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. Repent, and believe that Jesus is the One true God, the triune God.
After reading the Bible in depth and studying it for over 50 years on, I would strongly suggest that 1 - Melchizedek 'resembled' the Son of God and was the originator of this unique type of eternal priest and king as the Father even swore to that future reality. 2 - Christ was not a high priest until his resurrection, and was not a descendant of the tribe of Levi, but of the tribe of Judah, and also he was the human son of Mary and had experienced death. 3 - Melchizedek ls clearly stated to of had no parentage and no death. 4 - This is why I would seriously consider the most probable scenario that Melchizedek was a theophany of the Holy Spirit, even as Christ and apparently the Father had theophanies referred to in the Old Testament; the Garden of Eden, appearance to Abraham with 2 angels, Mt. Sinai, the burning bush, the furnace in the book of Daniel, etc. It was not Shem or a human with lost genealogy. That's out of the question. Otherwise, I believe it might well be another highly placed 'son of Elohim' as mentioned in passages in Genesis and Job, but a faithful and obedient celestial being who fulfilled a divine and hidden purpose. Yet I feel the Holy Ghost with his eternal nature the best candidate. He was later sent from heaven on a 2,000 year mission to guide, seal and indwell Christians as the Comforter on earth. Christ came 'after the order' of this great personage, anointed by his presence at his baptism, seen and witnessed by John, while Jesus soon became the King of kings, and the eternal High Priest and our very Savior. He is, and was and will always be, a real Person of the Trinity of God. Perhaps this best explains this greatest of biblical mysteries.
Something everyone misses. Paul makes it clear that EVERYONE that has ever been saved was and will be saved by faith. He uses Abraham (before the Law) and David (under the Law) to prove this. The original covenant could not be superseded. For all intents an purposes we see this covenant established when Melchizedek brings the bread and wine to Abraham.
This video was amazing. My church actually believes that there are two orders of priesthood (Aaron and Melchizedek), yet I think I have gone my whole life without even really knowing who Melchizedek was.
Doctrine & Covenants section 107 verses 1-6: 1 There are, in the church, two priesthoods, namely, the Melchizedek and Aaronic, including the Levitical Priesthood. 2 Why the first is called the Melchizedek Priesthood is because Melchizedek was such a great high priest. 3 Before his day it was called the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. 4 But out of respect or reverence to the name of the Supreme Being, to avoid the too frequent repetition of his name, they, the church, in ancient days, called that priesthood after Melchizedek, or the Melchizedek Priesthood. 5 All other authorities or offices in the church are appendages to this priesthood. 6 But there are two divisions or grand heads-one is the Melchizedek Priesthood, and the other is the Aaronic or Levitical Priesthood. D&C 115:4 For thus shall my church be called in the last days, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

@@ianallen9217 I think you're responding to me, but I'm not completely sure. Disregard if not. I'm well familiar with the LDS church, my question is how do you hold up that you are Christ's church?
@@ianallen9217 All of Humanity is Christ's church. Don't make the arrogant claim that your church is the ONLY actual church. Everybody is in Christ whether they know it or not. I suggest you re read your bible for yourself, starting with these. 1 Peter 4:6 - For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit. Galatians 3:28 - There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Luke 20:38 - He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive. 1 Timothy 2:1-6 - I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. (This one specifically gets the point you should be paying attention to across and says that God wants ALL people to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. Since God will not lie and will ALWAYS succeed in carrying out his will, then ALL OF HUMANITY WILL BE SAVED) 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 - But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he “has put everything under his feet.”[c] Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all. Romans 5:12-21 - Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned- To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come. But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for ALL people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for ALL people. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Your argument for "Type" ignores the principle: "The absent of evidence is NOT evidence of absence." I don't know (for sure ) who he is... neither do you... and it's not vital at this point in time... 🙏
There is more information about Melchezidek in the writings of Enoch and the Dead Sea Scrolls. In fact, the writer of Hebrews was probably an Essene priest from Qumran that knew much more about Melchezidek because of writings he had that are no longer available to us. This is important to know as it goes to prove the bible is only a readers digest version of the whole inspired word of the Most High.
@@cyberjay9146 The Bible is an agreed upon compilation of what men thought should be in it from countless documents. The men who put The Revelation of Jesus Christ in the Bible maybe should have read the books.
@@cyberjay9146 The verse you‘re referring to says “God will add to him the plagues described in this book.” Terrifying, but not nearly as catastrophic as being blotted out of the book of life. He also is not adding to scripture by doing research in other texts. There’s nothing wrong with being curious about Malchizedek.
The writers of the Bible were under inspiration of God and did not write of their own accord. If the Lord chose not to reveal that in the OT I’m ok with that. Abraham is known as the friend of God. It would make sense that Jesus would be the One Abraham was friends with and would have known.
The LDS faith claims that Peter, James, and John restored this Priesthood authority to the Earth in this last dispensation. This verse in Hebrews is simply mistranslated and confusing. The Joseph Smith Translation of Hebrews 7:3 clarifies that it was the priesthood that was “without father, without mother”: “For this Melchizedek was ordained a priest after the order of the Son of God, which order was without father, without mother” This phrasing indicates that, unlike the Levitical or Aaronic order in ancient times, the Melchizedek Priesthood is not conferred based on lineage alone. Makes more sense than how the Bible is currently written
Liked and subscribed. Your first video that I've watched. Very clear teaching, although Type and Christophany are not exclusive and Melchizedek could be both. On to the nephilim!
Just to help fill people in: Psalm 110:4 The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind: "You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek." Hebrews 5:6 And in another passage God says: "You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek." Hebrews 6:20 where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 7:11 Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear--one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?
the war of the kings always confused me while reading and then malchizidek shows up praising god. I was very confused because 1 what was going on with the kings, but then 2 how is he a priest when abram was the one god made the old covenant with? this video made everything much more clear and was intresting to see his role
I wonder what scriptures belonged to the Order of Melchizedek. As Christians, we are no longer following the Levitical Priesthood, but the Melchizedek Priesthood. Hebrews 3, Hebrews 5.
@The Fonz Matthew 15:9 ‘And in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ” Do not believe in the Talmud if you have no relation to Post-Second Temple Judaism. The Talmudic stories make fun of Jesus’ birth from a virgin, fervently contest his claim to be the Messiah and Son of God, and maintain that he was rightfully executed as a blasphemer and idolater. They subvert the Christian idea of Jesus’ resurrection and insist he got the punishment he deserved in hell - and that a similar fate awaits his followers. In Jewish History, Jewish Religion Shahak brings numerous texts and legal rulings to demonstrate Jewish antipathy to non-Jews. He mentions a passage from the Talmud that says that Jesus will be punished in hell by being immersed in boiling excrement. He relates that Jewish tradition teaches pious Jews to burn copies of the New Testament and curse the mothers of the dead when passing non-Jewish cemeteries. Shahak highlights the famous passage from Leviticus commanding Jews to "love thy neighbor as thyself" and mentions that, according to rabbinic interpretation, "thy neighbor" refers only to Jews.
@@zacharystephens174 Tell me. If Jesus isnt god or messiah. What did the Talmud say that was wrong? Also funny you quote not scripture. Melchizedek alive today would follow the. Talmud. Afterall only one of us has a chain of transmission back to him
There is another possibility and that is that Melchizedek was Shem the son of Noah. He would have been close to 500 years old at this time which would explain the statement that he was without father or mother. If this is the case then he would have been the "King" of the whole earth not just Salem. Also in vs 20 the name Abram is not there in the Hebrew. It say he gave him a tenth of all. Which if you are continuing from the previous 2 vs then He gave the tenth to Abram. In the Septuagint it says in the English (I don't read Greek) Abram gave him a tenth which could be why the author of Hebrews said it that way. Anyway I am no scholar but thought I would give you some food for thought.
This is absolutely correct. I am very disappointed that only one other person knew this, and took the time to comment, after the video did not reveal who this Melchizedek was. Quite the deceptive video and title, pretty much click bait. I am more disappointed in the amount of praise in the comments for a video that didn't do anything to help anyone, which tells me that almost all professing Christians are not studying Scripture enough to recognize when something is not Biblical, or helpful.
@taponeswakharis5 I thought that was implied in the comment. But just because something is Canon doesn't mean it can't be informative or a piece of evidence. The idea is to look at everything as a whole. Plus there are books in the Bible that shouldn't be Canon. The crazies from two thousand years ago included the songs of Solomon.
no proof, but it's interesting to note that Shem, Ham, and Japheth could all have still been alive during Abraham's time. It's possible that Melchizedek was related to, or maybe even, one of these three descendants of Noah, given the 'ageless' attribute Hebrews applies to the man.
I was so excited when I heard you explain option two, because that is what I strongly believe. But alas...curve ball at the end. I just want to add...God would not have made Jesus a Priest after an earthly order. The Order of Melchizedek is eternal. That, for me makes option 2 even more believable. HOWEVER...thank you for your time and effort in making these videos. I know you are sincere and you do great work. Only love from me brother. God bless you with more revelation and obedience to Him.
Agree with your view Jacques Viljoen. Also, I believe that just like the gospel is very simple, so is this verse of Hebrews 7:3 in saying what it says in that Melchizedek was more than just a normal person or type. The end of the verse is plain and clear that Melchizedek *"... ABIDETH a priest CONTINUALLY."* And verse 8 (a second support) in the same chapter (context, Hebrews 7: 6,7, & 8) adds even more evidence to the continuity and endless life of Melchizedek, *" of whom it is witnessed that HE LIVETH."* But, I too appreciate the work and time given to make this video and the other two views regarding Melchizedek. 🐑🐑🐑
But The Father made Jesus King after an earthly order.... But Abraham rejoiced to see Jesus., so when did that happen? at the blessings and the tithe of abram
**************MELCHISEDEC (true and correct spelling) EXPLAINED*************** To explain this one has to understand TRUTH prior to our accepted teachings. While the Bible is a valid book there is much that is not detailed fully about events, places, people as it should - thanks to the redactors working for the Roman Catholic Churches who wanted to insert themselves and made Christianity a religion rather than what it had a great opportunity to be which was a (the) way of life....as it was intended. Don't worry....the two witnesses that will appear soon will explain it all - they will explain the TRUE GOSPEL. Now, Melchisedec is a word/title in which so much is included in it that it is hard to tell all that the word intended to convey. However, Melchisedec was from the class of Immortals (never to die). This is why they speak (read of) him the way that it is. How is it he knew of THE FATHER before Abraham - in which he blessed him? How is it he disappeared then resurfaces 1000 years later? Because he was the shiny one, kinda' like Jesus that is why. Jesus was the one begotten son, but so was Melchisedec, at least at one point (huh?). They are however two DIFFERENT beings - at least in our human earth understanding of 'different'. When the two witnesses (Moses/Elijah or Enoch) come everything will be explained. But I will say that it is an AWESOME story/progression/occurrence - whatever you want to call it. It's beautiful! By the way 'priest' is a typo/mislabeled translation. Which is why he was also known as a king - these two titles are totally different from one another. See you in the Tribulation. Remember this comment to compare validity and truth for later. Bless THE FATHER.
These are the arguments we get from PHd theologians that MUST find something “new and exciting” to put in a thesis paper. Such pursuits necessitate that we cant just read scripture plainly and simply.
Jewish tradition holds that Shem, the son of Noah, was Melchizedek. He would have been about 450 years old at the time, and checks all the right boxes.
Noah was the King and Priest and Prophet of the whole world aka the Melchizedek. He anointed Shem with this blessing and Shem anointed Abraham. This was passed to Jacob who then split the blessings to his sons. Judah inherited the royal line, Levi the priesthood, and Joseph the role of prophet which he had already demonstrated throughout his life.
The book of Hebrews is inspired by the Holy Ghost so the Holy Ghost won't make any assumptions, there's no doubts that Christ himself appeared to Abraham!

The Heavenly Prince Melchizedek (11Q13) A striking mid-first-century BCE document, composed of eleven fragments from Cave 11 and centred on the mysterious figure of Melchizedek, was first published by A. S. van der Woude in 1965. It takes the form of an eschatological midrash in which the proclamation of liberty to the captives at the end of days (Isa. lxi, 1) is understood as being part of the general restoration of property during the year of Jubilee (Lev. xxv, 13), seen in the Bible (Deut. xv, 2) as a remission of debts. The heavenly deliverer is Melchizedek. Identical with the archangel Michael, he is the head of the ‘sons of Heaven’ or ‘gods of Justice’ and is referred to as elohim and el. The same terminology occurs in the Songs for the Holocaust of the Sabbath. These Hebrew words normally mean ‘God’, but in certain specific contexts Jewish tradition also explains elohim as primarily designating a ‘judge’. Here Melchizedek is portrayed as presiding over the final Judgement and condemnation of his demonic counterpart, Belial/Satan, the Prince of Darkness, elsewhere also called Melkiresha’ (cf. pp. 391, 570). The great act of deliverance is expected to occur on the Day of Atonement at the end of the tenth Jubilee cycle. This manuscript sheds valuable light not only on the Melchizedek figure in the Epistle to the Hebrews vii, but also on the development of the messianic concept in the New Testament and early Christianity. For the editio princeps, see F. García Martinez, E. J. C. Tigchelaar and A. S. van der Woude, DJD, XXIII, 221-41. Frs. 1-4 II...And concerning that which He said, In [this] year ofJubilee [each of you shall return to his property (Lev. xxv, 13); and likewise, And this is the manner of release:] every creditor shall release that which he has lent [to his neighbour. He shall not exact it of his neighbour and his brother], for God’s release [has been proclaimed] (Deut. xv, 2). [And it will be proclaimed at] the end of days concerning the captives as [He said, To proclaim liberty to the captives (Isa. lxi, 1). Its interpretation is that He] will assign them to the Sons of Heaven and to the inheritance of Melchizedek; f[or He will cast] their [lot] amid the po[rtions of Melchize]dek, who will return them there and will proclaim to them liberty, forgiving them [the wrong-doings] of all their iniquities. And this thing will [occur] in the first week of the Jubilee that follows the nine Jubilees. And the Day of Atonement is the e[nd of the] tenth [Ju]bilee, when all the Sons of [Light] and the men of the lot of Mel[chi]zedek will be atoned for. [And] a statute concerns them [to prov]ide them with their rewards. For this is the moment of the Year of Grace for Melchizedek. [And h]e will, by his strength, judge the holy ones of God, executing judgement as it is written concerning him in the Songs of David, who said, ELOHIM has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgement (Psalms lxxxii, 1). And it was concerning him that he said, (Let the assembly of the peoples) return to the height above them; EL (god) will judge the peoples (Psalms vii, 7-8). As for that which he s[aid, How long will you] judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah (Psalms lxxxii, 2), its interpretation concerns Belial and the spirits of his lot [who] rebelled by turning away from the precepts of God to ...

I can tell you God and Jesus are one in the same Jesus is the body of GOD a perfect sinless temple for the Spirit to Dwell in. God the spirit was talking to God the flesh let’s make man have a body like us and in our own image.

God bless you brother for a very well made and theologically sound piece of work here. A bit off topic, but could you inform me of the music you used to close out the video?😅
So 10 verses later in John 9:9 when the man who was born blind uses the same phrase as Jesus that gets translated “I AM”, “egō eime”, was he saying he was God as well?
@@wombatedge No, because context matters. The formerly-blind guy wasn't claiming to be "I AM before Abraham was.", in response to a question about how he could possibly have seen Abraham. He was just saying "I am the same guy who used to be blind and beg".
Jesus did have a mother, technically He has a Father, too, albeit not a human one - and He does have a genealogy, it's right there in the Gospels. Therefore, the only view that makes sense is that Melchizedek is a type. There are _many_ Christophanies in the OT, but I don't think Melchizedek is one of them.
Personally I think he's a type and that not having a genealogy is like saying that he isn't from Aaron, since he came before, which is the whole argument of a covenant/will that when the Law became weak and useless and reverted back to Abraham before he was circumcised.
“After Abram returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley ). Then Melchizedek, KING OF SALEM brought out bread and wine; he was a priest to God Most High.” Genesis 14:17-18 HCSB. Your exegesis missed two critical points. He is literally is called the king of Salem ….which is THE FIRST MENTION of Jerusalem. There are three literal places in two verses SODOM /VALLEY OF SHAVEH / SALEM When Melchizedek received the 10% that Abraham gave to him ….where did he take it ? Answer ….he took it back to Jerusalem where he reigned as a literal king This means he is a type of Christ / nothing more / nothing less
@@ericsmith7287 I think you're right. But there's been a lot of weird comments to this video. The video didn't really frame the debate over Melchizedek properly, so that's probably a big reason for that.
By the way... Did anyone notice where the image of the crowd in the thumbnail is from? A recent DreamWorks film 🤔
Great observation....there are dark motives behind the conclusion of this short video.... simply put I believe there was one eternal high priest, and there remains one high priest of God....not two......if you are correct about DreamWorks comment.... people should note that Steven Spielberg is DreamWorks CEO I think 🤔....some motives here....I think so....not good motives, I think so🤔....what do you think ?????

The passage of Melchizedek meeting Abram (at the time) in the field where he confronted the king of Sodom after he had captured Lot is pretty incredible...
What two items does Melchizedek bring?
Bread.
Wine.
The sacraments of communion.
He prepares Abram a table... in presence of his enemies.
I thought that too! The Bible is awesome!
Wow! I never thought of that!! Thank you!
Melchizedek is Jesus after He was crucified.
This is only possible because Jesus is God.
@@theunknownpreacher9833 an interesting theory. It would also seem to fit into Revelations 8:11 if He had communion/passover then, right?
@fritzco55 was Jesus reading the past when He was reading The Old Testament or was He reading His future?
From His current viewpoint, everything that is written has already happened, but for us it hasn't been fully happened yet.
“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” John 8:58
You are ignorant ... He only gave that same Name Moses was told about!!! That The Great "I AM" before Abraham!!!
Moses and the Hebrews only knew Him as "I AM"!!! In the old Hebrew language.
This is what the Messiah actually testified about himself to the Jews!!!
John 10:34-36
Jesus answered them, *“Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’* If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came-and Scripture cannot be set aside-
what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, *‘I am God’s Son’?*
Psalm 82:6-7
“I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’ But you will die like mere mortals;
you will fall like every other ruler.”
This was about him and Adam. Only these two qualifies ... both created in the sinless image of their Creator!!! But only Adam fell!!!
@@madikaldoktor9986 Forgive me if I speak in error. And help me clarify these verses.
Jesus says this to a group of Pharisees.
“ Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad. “ - John 8:56
This prompted the Pharisees to challenge Jesus and ask him this question.
“You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!” - John 8:57
The Pharisees seem to be clearly mocking Jesus about his age. They are saying that because he is so young, there is no way he knew Abraham or that Abraham had seen him like Jesus claimed.
“ Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad. “ - John 8:56
So because they did not believe Jesus had seen Abraham because he was so young, Jesus responded by saying…
“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” - John 8:58
So it would seem to me, that Jesus is obviously implying that by some supernatural means, he predated the existence of Abraham. Not only does he predate Abraham, but he goes as far as to call himself “I AM”.
The Pharisees seem to understand what Jesus was implying, because they sought to stone him right after.
“ At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds. “ - John 8:59
This is my reasoning for believing that Jesus Christ referred to himself as “I AM”.
What are your thoughts?

The idea of Melchizedek as a theophany of Christ is very interesting. When Jesus tells the pharisees that He knows Abraham and He would have rejoiced to see this day, I've always kind of pictured that as Abraham and Jesus interacting in heaven. The idea that it could have been recalling the moment with Melchizedek is one I hadn't considered.
I am a theophany of Jesus we all are! That's a pretty silly word. I love the words people make up in religion. I made one up to inform people that the trinity is nonsensical and limiting. God exists in Father Son Spirit and Body (that's us). Quadinity. Smooches I ain't ragging on ya it's the silly world we live in.
Well when Abraham hosted the 3 men (one being God) he did walk and talk with Christ. God in the flesh is Christ
Jesus didn't tell anyone anything. He wasn't a real person hence there are zero eyewitness accounts of him.
Are you a real person? There are no eyewitness accounts of you. If they are real accounts, all things pass away. It is the account of the unseen things that prove the seen. Not the other way around. You should already know this. Why the confusion?
Or is just because God knows everything…☝️😎

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a pre-incarnate Jesus. He’s revealed himself in the OT before like in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. There certainly is reason to believe this theory
“Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day;
he saw it and was glad”. John
Remember that Jesus said in John 8 from verse 56 to 58. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Easy when he talked to Sarah and Abraham and pre-Carnate Jesus
A few weeks ago I was trying to go to sleep and thinking about our LORD. I could not sleep a wink, but just kept hearing Melchizedek… Melchizedek… Melchizedek… in my head all night long. I never even really noticed him in the Bible, but now I can never forget. I still don’t fully understand why this had occurred.
Awesome!!!

Remember something please, that all three members of the Triune Godhead were eternal and active.
Yes, because Jesus Christ is eternal. I don’t get how that implies he was Melchizedek.
One might notice that in Matthew 22:43 - 45, Jesus references Psalm 110. In doing so, he brings the entire psalm into the minds of those he is debating with. I believe that the reference to Melchizedek is implied in this reference, and I think it is part of why Jesus' statement was such an argument ender.
Great work, good points to consider in the overall nature of God…He is a wonderful God and His works are endless. Has been with us always, whether we see Him or not, whether we recognize Him or not. He will not forsake us. Thank you!
He will not forsake His children. We are all God's creation but we are not all God's children.

How is it possible that YB recommended a video about something I was reading this morning in a paper Bible is beyond me. I did not speak out loud the words, I did not google it, I did not even think about it until this video showed up.
God knows what you were studying and gave you illumination... wow!
Melchizedek was the first person to get the Melchizedek priesthood, that’s why it’s named after him
Melchizedek in Jewish tradition is Shem, one of Noah’s sons. If this is the case, He would get his priesthood authority for his father with came from Adam and ultimately from God himself. Melchizedek is a type of Jesus Christ because of his righteousness. Abraham also received his priesthood authority from the same place. He spent 40 years of his life in the House of Noah under the tutelage of Noah and Shem.
According to some, the Jewish tradition is a forgery. Manuscript evidence points overwhelmingly that the Jewish scribes altered their "New" Hebrew long after Christ as all the old Hebrew texts were long gone and they needed a debunking.
As far as I know, Shem had a father and a genealogy.
@babayaga9570 melchizedek and shem aren't the same person, that is the point. Manuscript evidence proves this. The jews altered their own books POST-CHRIST in order to debunk him.
To debunk this comment, you have to destroy ALL the ancient manuscripts and all corresponding research into the subject and wait a few generations.
Which means it is almost certainly incorrect. Having a tiny reference to him and no connection to what the future symbolism is, would radically alter who the Jews would think he is.
This video was so informative and awesome! I just read Hebrews 7 and wanted to find out more about Melchizedek. Excellent work. Thank you
You also may want to consider that John the Baptist was the last high priest of the Arronic line and that it was right for John to Baptize Jesus turning over the Arronic line to the Melchizedek line.
Please, lets study more, how can you be sure he was high priest if his father wasnt???? lets not make scripture say what we want
John was not a high priest., the high priest were the ones going after Jesus to condemn him, and paul argued with the high priest as well
@@stevelovesgod Steve, Look at who John the Baptist parents were. Only a high priest from the Arronic line could enter into the Holy of Holy’s. The High Priests at that time had been appointed by Rome and would not dare enter the Holy of Holy’s. John was from the Aaronic line.
@@scottstebbins2841
So was their more than one high priest? Johns dad was a high priest., as he lost his voice until after he named his son John.
John 18:19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
26 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
@@scottstebbins2841
John was a Levite., but because his dad was a high priest., doesn't make John a high priest.
Who were the high priest that were talking to Jesus then if John the baptist was a priest?
Thank you for Bible animations! You are a great gift!😀
I think the term "type of Christ" is gonna throw people off. A foreshadowing or allusion to Christ seems to make more sense, at least to me.
'Typology" is often used in the Bible, Adam, Moses, Noah, Jonah, etc were all types of Christ. This authenticates scripture even more when you can see the Savior being revealed throughout history and time from the beginnings of creation, through to the new testament
@@kristophstjames4143 Right. I'm not refuting that they are resembling who Christ is and that they do not exemplify certain aspects of who Jesus would be. I'm just saying that I think using Type of Christ is somewhat vague and can miss the point. Moses like you said is a phenomenal foreshadowing of what Christ would be to humanity saving us from slavery to sin, he is not however Christ himself, he is like Jesus Christ. To say he is a type of Christ to me sounds like saying that he himself was actually Jesus appearing as a person in the Old Testament. We both know that they are two different people but to someone who isn't familiar with typology or scripture they might get confused, I know I would.
Romans 5:14
Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
The Greek word used for type here is typos. It means to resemble, to model, or to imitate.
@@joshrichards9121 Right. I am not refuting that, I'm just saying that type in the English meaning of the word is going to throw people off from what is truly meant by type of Christ. It would be more accurate to say something along the lines of an allusion to or foreshadowing of Christ or like you said yourself a resemblance or imitation.
@@bigape8640 That’s understandable.
Most fabulous explanation..... and the scripture tells us Jesus Christ was in the order of Melchizedek. I absolutely believe that Christ and Melchizedek are one and the same . The Bible says that Jesus Christ is our Royal high priest.
He only resembled Christ who was not a priest before his resurrection. It's fairly clear if it is read without bias.

Thank you Robert, God bless you!
Great work here! The Captain of the Host of the Lord appearing to Joshua imo is also a most compelling argument for Christophany. The worship and removal of shoes, and the line "Am I now come" are highly provocative. I don't see how Christophany threatens the incarnation and resurrection. All serve as miracles, signs, and wonders, sufficient to announce the Gospel to the unbeliever, sufficient for the faith of God's elect.
All of Humanity is Christ's church. Calvinism is a twisted man made doctrine created in the 1500's that is so far from the truth and has no actual scriptural or historical basis. None of the early church fathers were Calvinist, and there was certainly NO concept of hell in Christianity for the FIRST FIVE CENUTRIES of Christianity.
Regardless, even if there was a supposed "Hell"; God said that the punishment for Sin was DEATH which is lapsing into non being, not Eternal Conscious Torment. God isn't a liar. When did God change the penalty for sin from Death to eternal conscious torment? Because clearly he didn't. God doesn't Lie, so Death is clearly the punishment for Sin under the Old Covenant Law (Which was fulfilled by Jesus Christ's Crucifixion and Resurrection, thus leading to the New Covenant).
You should also take into account that all uses of the word "Hell" in the bible are Mistranslations of the Greek words Hades and Tartarus, and the Hebrew words Sheol and Gehenna (Which is an actual physical place in Jerusalem called The Valley of Hinnom.
Everybody is in Christ whether they know it or not. All are God's elect, with their own God given individual purposes.
I suggest you re-read your bible for yourself with this perspective and see how much more sense it makes. Here are a few places to start.
1 Peter 4:6 - For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
Galatians 3:28 - There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Luke 20:38 - He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.
1 Timothy 2:1-6 - I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.
(This one specifically gets the point you should be paying attention to across and says that God wants ALL people to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. Since God will not lie and will ALWAYS succeed in carrying out his will, then ALL OF HUMANITY WILL BE SAVED)
1 Corinthians 15:20-28 - But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he “has put everything under his feet.”[c] Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.
Romans 5:12-21 - Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned-
To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
Thank you so much for this. It appears the Lord had chosen Jerusalem as His realm even before Abraham had come. This is a very interesting thought about this spot on the earth.
I love that you end tough topics with the gospel. Very cool!
Not many people know this, but in Jerusalem there is a site called the 1st Temple, or the "Temple of Melchizedek." It's not found on the traditional Temple Mount.
And why? because they knew something that is not in the old testament as well. Melchizedek was surely Jesus.
Very interesting 🤔

Don't stop with just this video.
Let me help you!!! Contact The Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints and ask about Melchizedek you will be sweetly blessed!!
It's crazy how that works, isn't it?
The Catholic priesthood often refers to Melchizedek as an embodiment of the priesthood, and that makes it forever. There’s are also interesting fictional references of him in the book “The Alchemist”. My grandfather is always asking and talking about Melchizedek. Can’t wait to show him this. Great argument
The catholic church fulfills the prophesies of the antichrist and the beast system.
From Rome being the city of many ethnicities that sits atop 7 hills, matching the beast of the sea. To the Dragon giving power over the saints to the beast for 1260 years with Justinian Code granting total authority over the church in 536 AD and began to be enforced in 538 when the siege of Rome was broken. The catholic church went on to rule over christians, torturing and murdering millions for 1260 years until 1798 when Napoleon arrested the Pope and ended catholic control. The bible says when one of the heads of the beast of the sea is wounded, another beast of land will rise up. Sea representing a multitude of peoples, the land represents a sparse and uninhabited land. In 1798 America was officially recognized as a nation by the world. The same year the first beast was wounded, and all nations look to America and say "who can conquer America? Who can make war with the beast?"
The popes also fulfilled the prophecy of the antichrist attempted to alter God's laws and appointed times. Which is undeniably what happened when the Pope changed the 10 commandments (laws) to make Sunday the sabbath (a time appointed by God).
Oh! Was Melchizedek the KING who buys the sheep from the kid and sends him on a quest with the two stones?
@Mr K I don’t 100% agree with their perspective. But they make a decent case for it
He is Shem
@Mr K The book that you read from was canonised by the Catholic Church. The doctrine of the Trinity was established by the Catholic Church.
My opinion about hebrew 7:3 is that the mention of 'Without a family register' in that case does not mean that Melchisedek was not born or had no descendants, only that this register is not mentioned.
Rather, based on Ps.110:4 (quoted in vs.17), it is that Melchisedek did not become king and priest by succession, but because another had appointed him. This then required swearing an oath. David was from the tribe of Judah, and therefore no one from his progeny could ever become a priest, because the priests in Israel were from the tribe of Levi. But when God Himself pledges the priesthood to someone from David's posterity, by swearing an oath, they can become both king and priest - not the priesthood after the order of Aaron, but after the order of Melchisedek. In this way, Christ, who is of the lineage of David, can become a priest.
We must therefore think of Christ's priesthood as an official appointment. Melchisedek did not receive the dignity of king and priest by his father or by his mother. He was appointed to this.
Throughout my whole life I’ve been asking people who was Melchizedek in the Bible no one never gave me a real explanation until TODAY I finally understand who He was
Just because someone gives an explanation doesn't make it true tho

Unless I'm mistaken, Strong's Concordance shows that Hebrews 7:3 is saying that Melchizedek's geneology is unrecorded although Yehoshua's genealogy is recorded in The Gospels.

This is a great video. 7:32-7:34 I do have a question about why you concluded that the author of Hebrews only referenced Genesis 14 and Psalm 110 as source material when explaining Melchizedek. In Jude, there are references to an exchange between Michael and the devil and there is also a quote from Enoch that aren't included in scripture. This tells me that those who wrote scripture had source material that is not always included in scripture.
That's a really good point.
thats incorrect
First Jude did not Quote the book of Enoch., People keep stating that. Explain how its referencing the book of Enoch.
Jude is quoting Enoch himself. The "book of Enoch" contains many problems and is not an inspired work. The book of Revelation and Daniel., these are writings inspired by God., that's the source material., not sound lost documents like you are eluding to.
@@stevelovesgod She didn't say the 'book of Enoch', she said 'a quote from Enoch'.
@@stevelovesgod nonsense, 1 Jude:14-15 are directly referencing Enoch 1:9, the reference is so incontrovertible in fact that Jude, filled with the Holy Spirit, not only refers to Enoch by name (never done in Daniel nor Revelation), but also restates in his Epistle what is stated in Enoch 1:9.
Furthermore, you’re correct in that it is not a “lost book” because the oldest standing Christian canon of the Ethiopian church holds this text.
But you, Steve who loves God, would have me take Jude as a fool; a proposition I can only imagine you to make believing you are filled with a Holier Spirit than Jude?
Lastly, as you hand wave away both scripture and prophets that seem to you, a modern English speaking Protestant (I could only presume, forgive me), to be problematic, please kindly explain: ignoring for a moment the exactitude of the reference itself, how could Jude be “quoting Enoch himself”? Did Enoch repeat to him in an unmentioned vision or appearance from heaven? Was Jude with Enoch before the flood? And if Enoch has directly repeated exactly what he said in Enoch 1:9 to Jude, in this not an affirmation of the book of Enoch?
Please, by all means, I would love to know your basis for how Enoch’s inexplicable communication with Jude that is totally not via scroll invalidates the very same prophecy in the book of Enoch. Enlightenment me.
Christina, despite what some people and their intense modern sensitivities would have you believe, the writers of the Gospels and Epistles not only drew from text and scrolls no longer considered “palatable” or “correct” -err “canon” to the modern _Christian_ appetite, but also oral tradition and practice no longer regarded in the modern context of _sola scriptura_ - a very _innovative_ dogma of the West the Bible writers may have found comedic considering most of the Apostles were likely not literate.
The Bible is the greatest jigsaw puzzle ever made when we try to piece it together we find nothing but contradictions only because we don't know how all the pieces fit perfectly together.
When reading without understanding the local politics of that time and who the people were it is a jigsaw puzzle.
Understanding the history of the Kana’ani people (what the Phoenicians called themselves) it becomes very clear
The Bible is a chronicle of the Jewish peoples but leaves out that they are also Kana’ani (Canaanite) that distinguish themselves by their worship of YHWH and El (which are Canaanite gods apart of the full pantheon)
There are two distinct timelines in the Old Testament before and after the exile in to Babylon.
Before you have the Hebrew peoples struggling with the worship of various gods , many of their kings still have names that include other Phoenician sic Canaanite gods.
They mainly warred with other Canaanite city states including other Hebrew city states Judea, Israel and Samaria were often at odds.
After Babylon they are fundamentally changed and become strict Yahwehist the idea of the temple is more spiritual than physical, which sets the stage for Pharisee, Sadducee’s and Jesus’ teachings.
Post Babylon Judaeans are distinctly their own culture and less like their Canaanite cousins.
The Bible as we know it is strongly influenced by post Babylonian authorship, however if you look at the rest of Canaan post Babylon they are also going through similar cultural shifts.
The Phoenician (Canaanite) world was completely traumatized by Babylonian conquest.
PLEASE ALLOW ME TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS SUBJECT: His name was probably Malek-Sadeg. In Semitic languages, Malek means king. And Sadeq could have been a proper name (common in the Middle East), or it could have been a title. Sadeq means one who is truthful.
It is obvious from the story in the Bible that monotheism already existed in Salem/Jerusalem when Abraham arrived there. It is very likely that Abraham was a convert to this faith. Melchizedek's temple has recently been discovered, and it's laid out exactly as early Hebrew temples. Melchizedek could also have been a prophet, and he was certainly a priest. In the 'Order of Melchizedek' means following the religion, priesthood and prophethood of Melchizedek.
My point is that Abraham was not the founder of monotheism, but a follower of the religion that pre-existed in Salem.
There is also a possibility that Abraham came to Levant at the invitation of Melchizedek. But one thing that we can be sure of is that he followed the same religion.
The old testament itself is a metaphor of Christ's coming and God's love.
We have to read it like a prophesy book, finding jesus in every corner of the old testament.
Melchizedek is one example of that.
Good effort bro...a lot of time had gone into making this video.
Keep continuing....let's expand the kingdom of God.
God bless you.God bless all.
No it's not the old testament is about el elohim el shaddai an yehweh. New testament is about eloha adonai thaus and ouranos. Jesus condemned el shaddai God of abraham. So he didn't uphold abrahamic tradition meaning he was a false prophet
@@algl4712 Different sects, had different interpretations. Prophets never "go with the flow." They offer a chance to course correct and return to the Lord. The choice is yours. Choose wisely.
@@neocount6397 that was some of the dumbest shit I ever heard
There is nothing of Tanakh that a how's the coming of jesus. That's just made up pagan nonsense that false teachers want you to beleive to have you propagate their lie.
@@algl4712 In the Sumerian mythos, El and Ea are brothers, each religion draws from this. El destroys, Ea creates with water (chaos). Jesus is the son of Ea. El is the focus of the religions other than Christianity. In the recorded instructions of shuruppak which were later simplified into the ten commandments, through Noah, we are told to not question the words of our personal God. This all aligns well with the creation of each individual religion. We've been separated to weaken us since the Tower of Babel. Lmk if you think that sounds bizarre.
Another fantastic video!!! Thank you!
in my opinion, when it says "without father or mother" simply means that if you were a Levite, you were a Levite because you were born from Levite parents. This "person" was a high priest, but not a Levite - not because he had Levite parents. V5 supports this when it refers to the "sons of Levi".
Yes, an appointed priesthood. And, a higher one.
Birthed, sort of divinely, from a woman named Sothonim, who "gave birth" after she had just died. A woman who was evidently made with child, similar to Mary with Jesus. She was wife to Noah's brother, Nir. Sothonim was regarded as infertile and having not been with her husband since he was appointed a priest about a year earlier. The pregnancy was unnerving to her husband.
She died during heated and emotional arguing, but not from violence. Probably a stroke or heart attack. When Nir and Noah went to bury her, they left the body briefly, when they returned a child was at the grave. A very special child.
People forget Noah came out special, too. According to the Bible, he came out White, like the angels... His father freaked out and ran to his father, Methuselah... And was like, "Should I kill her?" He thought his wife had coitus with an angel and Noah was the result. Not unheard of, at that time.
So, there were some wild things going on just before the great flood, eh?
@@user-gw6gj3is1jthis is in the Book of Enoch
Chapter 105.
I've heard he might be Shem, Noah's son. I think one of the insights from this is that God reveals and has revealed Himself to more people than just the Israelites or the Jews. Yes, Abraham's seed is destined to bring righteousness to the whole human race, and indeed has, but that doesn't mean God has never interacted with other lineages. We do not know who taught Melchizedek, what books he or his people might have written, or why they were not around after the Exodus. But it is extremely evident that the same God of Abraham is also the God of Melchizedek, operating at the same time in different places.
Just discovered your channel much deserved sub awesome work-God bless
Damn, gives this new meaning to "10% for the Big Guy" lol
Haha, I didn't even see that connection. Glad there's no priestly 'order of Biden'. 🤣
A better one. Why give 10% when you can give 110%
Praise Yeshua for being our High Priest 🙌🏾
Amazing Video.....was hanging onto every word attentively. I've seen many teachings on Melchizedek but all....sort of....fall short. But your teaching is quite good and appeals to spotlight The LORD GOD JESUS HIMSELF.....Which is crazy cool. Takes me right back to Proverbs 25:2 (which shows that GOD choses to conceal stuff) and 2 Timothy 2:15 (where GOD wants us to Study HIS WORD......) Another crazy thing....This word "Study" has been removed from all new versions except he KJV. Go figure.
Good on you for being up on the accurate account in your comment, Friend. Respect! Esprecially in how you connect the many dots in relation to Father God's Word about how He repeatedly spoke of or referenced choosing to keep certain things "secret/hidden" specifically in the end of times... Great vid great comment love a new petspecti and hearing different bible based discussions. Also, @Brendan Christopher LaCroix Solo appalling to know not just one person or a few random someones attempted to and succeded to bebrasin ebough to take away add and chsnge from The Hoky Bibke Wie To Those ebntire institutions for the potential souls for Jesus that they may have just sold to Satan, and think about if it were one of your own kids reading their bible thinking it's truly God's word to later find out it WAS ALTERED BY MERE MAN?!?? Uhh do we NOT already have plenty enough stress and anxiety in OUR youth and our own generation even then gen above that attempt to help them learn how walk through well and grow and successfully see them be able to heal with it and see them grow from it... all that is fiundationakky rooted in OUR FAITH IN THE WORD OF GOD OUR PERFECT FATHER AND hbALL HIS PROMISES TO US ARE SUDDENLY BEING CHANGED OR GOING ENTIRELY MISSING OR GETTING MORE ADDED TO IT THAT GOD DID NOT WRITE huge no no he def go na have s9 e explaining to do!!
The word "study" in the KJV is the Greek word _spoudazó_ which simply means "to give diligence" which is how most modern translations interpret this word.
So whether we are studying God's Word or giving our diligence to God's Word, they both essentially mean the same thing.
@@Avendalethen why change it
So if you study Phoenician history Melchizedek was a Kana’ani (Canaanite) ruler of YryShalom (city of peace; yry meaning city) who worshipped El
Zedek or Zadok was likely a dynastic name as during the time of Joshua the king of Jerusalem (YryShalom) was Adonizedek (who’s name means Lord of Righteousness)who also worshipped El, but was overthrown by Joshua (Genesis 14:18-20) he is also mentioned in several other Canaanite historical records
Over time many would be named for them but would later lose the Zedek and be replaced by YHWH
Melchizedek becomes Malachiah and Adonizedek becomes Adonijah (Solomon’s older brother)
Melchizedek and Adonizedek are likely dynastic titles for the rulers of Canaanite Jerusalem.
The name Zedek continues to be a priestly name in Jerusalem, chances are they assimilated as they were also worshipers of El.
The word Sadducees is actually a Hellenization of Zedekis a order of noble kohanim descendants of Zodak through the line of Levi
(Which suggest the Israelite priesthood absorption of the local Canaanite priesthood since they had the same covenants and God and ancestral connection between Melchizedek and Abraham)
So being a priest (kohen) of the order of Melchizedek means a direct connection to the ancient rulers of Jerusalem
Interesting note, the last king of Jerusalem and Judea before they were carried off into Babylonian captivity who’s name was MattasYahu (Mathias) was changed to ZedekYahu (Zedekiah) in order to gain legitimacy to the title
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints uses both the Aaronic (or Levitical priesthood/lesser priesthood) and the Melchizedek priesthood (or the higher priesthood). The original name of the Melchizedek priesthood, or the order of Melchizedek, is the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God (who is Jesus Christ). The name was changed out of reverence or respect to the Supreme Being in order to avoid to frequent repetition of His name. So before Melchizedek's time it was named after the Order of the Son of God, and after his time it was changed. Either way, it is through Jesus Christ that we can be saved, and Melchizedek knew that. Great video, very well made!
One thing that really pushed me away from Mormonism was that I found out Mormon was a person. And that his writings were found in the mountains by Joseph Smith.
I instantly heard the verses in my head "if another presents to you another Jesus, do not believe them."
"I have come in my fathers name and you recieved me not. Another will come in their own name, and him you will recieve."
And "if they say he is in the mountains, do not go, do not be decieved."
Mormon presents another Jesus that is similar but not the same as the New Testament teaches, his followers are known by the name Mormon more than Jesus, and his prophet came out of the mountains.
It's almost the exact same as Mohammed and Islam, and Jesus gave the same warning about a prophet from the desert.
What verses are you quoting? I’m curious so I can do my own research
@@nickrichards1460 2 Cor 11:4
John 5:43
And I misquoted Matthew 24:26, it says the wilderness and inner rooms, I do not know why I thought mountains, however the tablets of mormon ARE kept in the inner room, away from the people. And while wilderness can describe where Joe Smith found his mormon teachings, wilderness is also substituted for desert in this verse
@@nickrichards1460 I would also point out though that God always leaves a remnant and doesnt allow his faithful to be wiped out, even under the sword of Islam. And a started work will not go unfinished. So it seems odd that there was not even any recognition of Christ among the natives to America considering mormon says Jesus started a work in the Americas that was utterly crushed and destroyed and eviscerated from history by Satan.
@@grantshearer5615 I appreciate your concern, I would like to add a point for clarification, while is was true that the Mormon was a person that compiled the book of Mormon, he is not worship and neither in Joseph Smith. The the Jesus that we worship is the same Jesus, and that name of the church has always been from it's inception "the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" the name of "Mormon" was originally coined by the churches detractors back in 1830 and became more widely used because it was a name that had become more common, so even now the general membership of the church have identified with the name of "Mormon"
I'm not trying to sujest that you rethink your decision in any way, I just wanted to offer some clarification.
I think you’re a very gifted thinker. Well done.
I hate to break your heart. This is a very well made video the only problem is Melchizedek isn't a name. Psalms 110 was written about King David, it's saying he will be a King and a Priest forever like Melchizedek. How could he trace his priesthood from Levi? Levi hadn't been born yet. Melchizedeks name is SHEM the Son of Noah and an ancestor of Abraham.
I love how Melchizedek is drawn so muscular lmao 🤣
It can only be an early appearance of the Prince of Peace, without mother without father (in the fleshly sense), without beginning and without end. No ordinary human can fit this description - this is a being from above.
Brilliant 👍💕
God no! Just make an analysis of his name, he has two Canaanite deity’s name in his: Mlk and Tsedeq, either “Mlk is righteous” or “my king is Tsedeq”. Considering his name is probably a theophoric name.
Edit: his name could also be: “Malk is Tsedeq”. Which is very weird considering the name Yosadaq, meaning: “YHWH is Tsedeq”.
@@isaacgutierrez5152 writer of Hebrews was a bright fellow being moved by the holy spirit to enlighten us ... Melchizedek was an eternal being with an everlasting position as high priest....the shadow of the Levitical priesthood shows there is only one high priest at a time.... conclusion....two high priests are currently making intersession for believers ( not bloody likely) or Melchizedek and Jesus are one in the same person.....is there a third option 🤔..... let's keep it simple.... what do you think ???
@@donaldmonzon1774 I don’t know if he was a bright fellow, but Melchizedek was not eternal. You have a theophoric name to represent the king of Urushalim (Jerusalem) that’s why you have another king years later called: Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem (Joshua 10:1-4). Like I said before: what are you gonna do with the Mlk and Tsedeq names? Those are names of two Canaanite’s deities.
@@isaacgutierrez5152 is it just because satan is a cheap copycat he has a fake and a substitute for every attribute of God, and knows (by having access to the heavenly council eg. Job) even His various theophanies?
Really great, eye-opening vid.
Glad I found this channel. GREAT EXPLANATIONS! 👍
This all leads to Jesus our savior. It paints a picture of what Christ is doing in heaven right now. As a priest atoning for our sins now. Pointing back to the cross. How wonderful is our God
Loved the video thank you!
In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we hold Melchizedek in high esteem. As mentioned in the video, we believe Melchizedek held a Priesthood different than the Levitical Priesthood. We believe his Priesthood was restored to the earth. So, in our church today we have two orders of Priesthood: the Levitical or Aaronic Priesthood and the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Levitical priesthood was imperfect and ended with the destruction of the Jewish 2nd temple. We have no need of Aaronic priests because we have a High Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
Repent, and believe that Jesus is the One true God, the triune God.
After reading the Bible in depth and studying it for over 50 years on, I would strongly suggest that 1 - Melchizedek 'resembled' the Son of God and was the originator of this unique type of eternal priest and king as the Father even swore to that future reality. 2 - Christ was not a high priest until his resurrection, and was not a descendant of the tribe of Levi, but of the tribe of Judah, and also he was the human son of Mary and had experienced death. 3 - Melchizedek ls clearly stated to of had no parentage and no death. 4 - This is why I would seriously consider the most probable scenario that Melchizedek was a theophany of the Holy Spirit, even as Christ and apparently the Father had theophanies referred to in the Old Testament; the Garden of Eden, appearance to Abraham with 2 angels, Mt. Sinai, the burning bush, the furnace in the book of Daniel, etc. It was not Shem or a human with lost genealogy. That's out of the question. Otherwise, I believe it might well be another highly placed 'son of Elohim' as mentioned in passages in Genesis and Job, but a faithful and obedient celestial being who fulfilled a divine and hidden purpose. Yet I feel the Holy Ghost with his eternal nature the best candidate. He was later sent from heaven on a 2,000 year mission to guide, seal and indwell Christians as the Comforter on earth. Christ came 'after the order' of this great personage, anointed by his presence at his baptism, seen and witnessed by John, while Jesus soon became the King of kings, and the eternal High Priest and our very Savior. He is, and was and will always be, a real Person of the Trinity of God. Perhaps this best explains this greatest of biblical mysteries.
Something everyone misses. Paul makes it clear that EVERYONE that has ever been saved was and will be saved by faith. He uses Abraham (before the Law) and David (under the Law) to prove this. The original covenant could not be superseded. For all intents an purposes we see this covenant established when Melchizedek brings the bread and wine to Abraham.
@@theespjames4114 Tale a read through Galatians and Romans.
I love this. Amazing job my brother
This video was amazing. My church actually believes that there are two orders of priesthood (Aaron and Melchizedek), yet I think I have gone my whole life without even really knowing who Melchizedek was.
Correction - CHRIST's church. LDS
@@TheThinkingMathematician How do you come to that conclusion?
Doctrine & Covenants section 107 verses 1-6:
1 There are, in the church, two priesthoods, namely, the Melchizedek and Aaronic, including the Levitical Priesthood.
2 Why the first is called the Melchizedek Priesthood is because Melchizedek was such a great high priest.
3 Before his day it was called the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God.
4 But out of respect or reverence to the name of the Supreme Being, to avoid the too frequent repetition of his name, they, the church, in ancient days, called that priesthood after Melchizedek, or the Melchizedek Priesthood.
5 All other authorities or offices in the church are appendages to this priesthood.
6 But there are two divisions or grand heads-one is the Melchizedek Priesthood, and the other is the Aaronic or Levitical Priesthood.

@@ianallen9217 All of Humanity is Christ's church. Don't make the arrogant claim that your church is the ONLY actual church. Everybody is in Christ whether they know it or not.
I suggest you re read your bible for yourself, starting with these.
1 Peter 4:6 - For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
Galatians 3:28 - There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Luke 20:38 - He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.
1 Timothy 2:1-6 - I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.
(This one specifically gets the point you should be paying attention to across and says that God wants ALL people to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. Since God will not lie and will ALWAYS succeed in carrying out his will, then ALL OF HUMANITY WILL BE SAVED)
1 Corinthians 15:20-28 - But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he “has put everything under his feet.”[c] Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.
Romans 5:12-21 - Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned-
To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for ALL people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for ALL people. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
whatever it is, there are still numerous unexplored facts but faith in Lord Jesus Christ and observing His teachings is the most important thing to do
Your argument for "Type" ignores the principle:
"The absent of evidence is NOT evidence of absence."
I don't know (for sure ) who he is... neither do you... and it's not vital at this point in time... 🙏
Really love your channel
There is more information about Melchezidek in the writings of Enoch and the Dead Sea Scrolls. In fact, the writer of Hebrews was probably an Essene priest from Qumran that knew much more about Melchezidek because of writings he had that are no longer available to us.
This is important to know as it goes to prove the bible is only a readers digest version of the whole inspired word of the Most High.

@@cyberjay9146 The Bible is an agreed upon compilation of what men thought should be in it from countless documents. The men who put The Revelation of Jesus Christ in the Bible maybe should have read the books.
@@cyberjay9146 The verse you‘re referring to says “God will add to him the plagues described in this book.” Terrifying, but not nearly as catastrophic as being blotted out of the book of life. He also is not adding to scripture by doing research in other texts. There’s nothing wrong with being curious about Malchizedek.
Ever notice what he offered? Bread and wine? Been to mass lately? Although, the bread and wine have changed since they are taken to the altar.
The writers of the Bible were under inspiration of God and did not write of their own accord. If the Lord chose not to reveal that in the OT I’m ok with that. Abraham is known as the friend of God. It would make sense that Jesus would be the One Abraham was friends with and would have known.
The LDS faith claims that Peter, James, and John restored this Priesthood authority to the Earth in this last dispensation. This verse in Hebrews is simply mistranslated and confusing.
The Joseph Smith Translation of Hebrews 7:3 clarifies that it was the priesthood that was “without father, without mother”:
“For this Melchizedek was ordained a priest after the order of the Son of God, which order was without father, without mother”
This phrasing indicates that, unlike the Levitical or Aaronic order in ancient times, the Melchizedek Priesthood is not conferred based on lineage alone.
Makes more sense than how the Bible is currently written
Amen brother.
Liked and subscribed. Your first video that I've watched. Very clear teaching, although Type and Christophany are not exclusive and Melchizedek could be both.
On to the nephilim!
Just to help fill people in:
Psalm 110:4
The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind: "You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek."
Hebrews 5:6
And in another passage God says: "You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek."
Hebrews 6:20
where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 7:11
Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear--one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?
the war of the kings always confused me while reading and then malchizidek shows up praising god. I was very confused because 1 what was going on with the kings, but then 2 how is he a priest when abram was the one god made the old covenant with? this video made everything much more clear and was intresting to see his role

@@zacharystephens174 shem?
Talmud
@The Fonz Matthew 15:9 ‘And in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
Do not believe in the Talmud if you have no relation to Post-Second Temple Judaism. The Talmudic stories make fun of Jesus’ birth from a virgin, fervently contest his claim to be the Messiah and Son of God, and maintain that he was rightfully executed as a blasphemer and idolater. They subvert the Christian idea of Jesus’ resurrection and insist he got the punishment he deserved in hell - and that a similar fate awaits his followers. In Jewish History, Jewish Religion Shahak brings numerous texts and legal rulings to demonstrate Jewish antipathy to non-Jews. He mentions a passage from the Talmud that says that Jesus will be punished in hell by being immersed in boiling excrement. He relates that Jewish tradition teaches pious Jews to burn copies of the New Testament and curse the mothers of the dead when passing non-Jewish cemeteries. Shahak highlights the famous passage from Leviticus commanding Jews to "love thy neighbor as thyself" and mentions that, according to rabbinic interpretation, "thy neighbor" refers only to Jews.
@@zacharystephens174 Tell me. If Jesus isnt god or messiah. What did the Talmud say that was wrong?
Also funny you quote not scripture. Melchizedek alive today would follow the. Talmud. Afterall only one of us has a chain of transmission back to him
Very well done video. good job brother!
There is another possibility and that is that Melchizedek was Shem the son of Noah. He would have been close to 500 years old at this time which would explain the statement that he was without father or mother. If this is the case then he would have been the "King" of the whole earth not just Salem. Also in vs 20 the name Abram is not there in the Hebrew. It say he gave him a tenth of all. Which if you are continuing from the previous 2 vs then He gave the tenth to Abram. In the Septuagint it says in the English (I don't read Greek) Abram gave him a tenth which could be why the author of Hebrews said it that way. Anyway I am no scholar but thought I would give you some food for thought.
The Book of Jasher (which is mentioned several times in teh bible) confirms this view.
@@jamesbaggaley18able Thank you
This is absolutely correct. I am very disappointed that only one other person knew this, and took the time to comment, after the video did not reveal who this Melchizedek was. Quite the deceptive video and title, pretty much click bait. I am more disappointed in the amount of praise in the comments for a video that didn't do anything to help anyone, which tells me that almost all professing Christians are not studying Scripture enough to recognize when something is not Biblical, or helpful.
@@jamesbaggaley18ablethat’s not biblical canon
@taponeswakharis5 I thought that was implied in the comment. But just because something is Canon doesn't mean it can't be informative or a piece of evidence. The idea is to look at everything as a whole. Plus there are books in the Bible that shouldn't be Canon. The crazies from two thousand years ago included the songs of Solomon.
no proof, but it's interesting to note that Shem, Ham, and Japheth could all have still been alive during Abraham's time. It's possible that Melchizedek was related to, or maybe even, one of these three descendants of Noah, given the 'ageless' attribute Hebrews applies to the man.
I was so excited when I heard you explain option two, because that is what I strongly believe. But alas...curve ball at the end. I just want to add...God would not have made Jesus a Priest after an earthly order. The Order of Melchizedek is eternal. That, for me makes option 2 even more believable. HOWEVER...thank you for your time and effort in making these videos. I know you are sincere and you do great work. Only love from me brother. God bless you with more revelation and obedience to Him.
Agree with your view Jacques Viljoen. Also, I believe that just like the gospel is very simple, so is this verse of Hebrews 7:3 in saying what it says in that Melchizedek was more than just a normal person or type. The end of the verse is plain and clear that Melchizedek *"... ABIDETH a priest CONTINUALLY."*
And verse 8 (a second support) in the same chapter (context, Hebrews 7: 6,7, & 8) adds even more evidence to the continuity and endless life of Melchizedek, *" of whom it is witnessed that HE LIVETH."*
But, I too appreciate the work and time given to make this video and the other two views regarding Melchizedek. 🐑🐑🐑
But The Father made Jesus King after an earthly order....
But Abraham rejoiced to see Jesus., so when did that happen? at the blessings and the tithe of abram
**************MELCHISEDEC (true and correct spelling) EXPLAINED***************
To explain this one has to understand TRUTH prior to our accepted teachings. While the Bible is a valid book there is much that is not detailed fully about events, places, people as it should - thanks to the redactors working for the Roman Catholic Churches who wanted to insert themselves and made Christianity a religion rather than what it had a great opportunity to be which was a (the) way of life....as it was intended. Don't worry....the two witnesses that will appear soon will explain it all - they will explain the TRUE GOSPEL.
Now, Melchisedec is a word/title in which so much is included in it that it is hard to tell all that the word intended to convey. However, Melchisedec was from the class of Immortals (never to die). This is why they speak (read of) him the way that it is. How is it he knew of THE FATHER before Abraham - in which he blessed him? How is it he disappeared then resurfaces 1000 years later? Because he was the shiny one, kinda' like Jesus that is why. Jesus was the one begotten son, but so was Melchisedec, at least at one point (huh?). They are however two DIFFERENT beings - at least in our human earth understanding of 'different'. When the two witnesses (Moses/Elijah or Enoch) come everything will be explained. But I will say that it is an AWESOME story/progression/occurrence - whatever you want to call it. It's beautiful! By the way 'priest' is a typo/mislabeled translation. Which is why he was also known as a king - these two titles are totally different from one another.
See you in the Tribulation. Remember this comment to compare validity and truth for later. Bless THE FATHER.
Very interesting. I love these animations!
These are the arguments we get from PHd theologians that MUST find something “new and exciting” to put in a thesis paper. Such pursuits necessitate that we cant just read scripture plainly and simply.
1 Tim 2:15
This is probably why Melchizedek occasionally shows up in older-style stained glass windows. Thank you for the video.
Jewish tradition holds that Shem, the son of Noah, was Melchizedek. He would have been about 450 years old at the time, and checks all the right boxes.
The Book of Jasher (which is mentioned several times in teh bible) confirms this view.
This is what I thought. Although in the table of nations...there is also a person named Shemeber lol prior to the confusion of tongues.
Noah was the King and Priest and Prophet of the whole world aka the Melchizedek. He anointed Shem with this blessing and Shem anointed Abraham. This was passed to Jacob who then split the blessings to his sons. Judah inherited the royal line, Levi the priesthood, and Joseph the role of prophet which he had already demonstrated throughout his life.
The book of Hebrews is inspired by the Holy Ghost so the Holy Ghost won't make any assumptions, there's no doubts that Christ himself appeared to Abraham!
Gen. 1: 3. This LIGHT is Yahweh's literal genetic SON Yahshua.
Yahweh put His Mediator between Himself and mankind on this corruptible earth before mankind were made. 1 Tim. 2: 5.
Yahshua walked this corruptible earth for 3,600 years from Gen 1: 3 to Malachi 4: 6 in His incorruptible flesh and blood body.
On the appointed day Yahweh raised His literal genetic SON Yahshua back to heaven to await the time prophesied in Moses law that He would put aside His incorruptible flesh and blood body and come to this earth in a corruptible flesh and blood body.
Yahshua SPOKE to Noah. Gen. 6: 3.
Yahshua SPOKE to Abraham. Gen. 18: 22.
Yahshua SPOKE to Jacob. 32: 28.
Yahshua SPOKE to ALL the prophets in His incorruptible flesh and blood body. All these conversations written in the scripture.
:" The Angel of the Lord " in the old covenant scriptures is Yahshua . Without exception.
Yahshua RECEIVED the second death . John 19: 30.
THE Creator Yahweh RAISED His literal genetic SON Yahshua from the second death. Rom 10: 9. Acts 1: 22. Acts 2: 32.
At His resurrection Yahshua received back His incorruptible flesh and blood body and THE Creator Yahweh raised His literal genetic SON Yahshua to the 3RD heaven.
Acts 3: 21 Yahweh's literal genetic SON Yahshua must remain in heaven until the time to restore all things for His thousand year reign on the earth made new as King of kings and Lord of Lords commencing at His second coming. Rev. 20: 4 and 6.
On the 9TH day of Tishri at 3PM Yahweh will take away His LIGHT and the entire universe will go into BLACKNESS.
24 hours later on the 10TH day of Tishri at 3PM Yahweh will repeat Gen 1: 3 and :" SAY:" let there be LIGHT."
The whole universe will be full of Yahweh's Gen 1: 3 LIGHT.
This will cause all the sinners to fall to the ground dead.
Yahweh's born again SAINTS will stand looking up and say:" This is our God, We have waited for Him, He has come to save Us.
Rev. 1: 7 tells us that EVERY eye will see Him. EVERY eye will see the LIGHT.
Yahshua said:" I AM the LIGHT." He was directing Us back to Gen. 1: 3.
I, The Son of Yahweh have told and SHOWN you the infallible truth. Believe and you shall be saved / Believe not and you cannot be saved. So says My Father Yahweh.
May THE Creator Yahweh give you understanding in these salvation scriptures.
Heb. 12: 14.
Bless you
Plot twist - Melchizedek was a different member of the Divine Council
The idea that Melchizedek is Christ just blew my mind right now because it makes perfect sense!❤
I’ve read some suggest he may be Shem
Very good and interesting topic.
Jesus is the WORD of God in the flesh.
God in flesh
@@love4thetruth No, the Word of God. All that the Father gave Him to speak, that He spoke. He is the living Word and in Him there is eternal life. This is spiritual knowledge and cannot be understood except by the Spirit.
The Father can’t speak?
He actually did at Jesus baptism!
Under our apostle Paul’s ministry,today we are only saved by BELIEVING The Gospel of Jesus Christ,1 st Corinthians Chapter 15 verse 1-4.Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, was buried,ad rose again on the third day.Jesus Christ’s Shed BLOOD is what saves you when you believe this plan of salvation with your heart.
for today we will keep praying jesus the demon and lick his blood ! as the truly retarded in christs that we are !
god is so powerful and soooo great ! he created humanity just so he ! and he alone, will have the pleasure to create them with default called sin ! so he can judge them heaven or hell ! and god will impregnante a woman among the humans. so another god will be born out of her. and this second god will sleep and eats and do everything just as a human would ! but in his late age. he will perform magic tricks as multipling breads and wines ! and he will reveal his identity to the ones ho followed him. but once his identity revealed ! peoples accused him of blasphemy. and he will be crusified for it. but all of that was meant to happens ! cause he died for your sins !!!! and yours ! and yours too ! his died on the cross for your sins be in him as he is in you ! was then ressurect 3 days later he will ressurect and appeared to his disciples only ! for a short time, and immediatly get back to heaven(hell). and if you don't believe that all of this story truly happened, and don't believe what some men a century after his death wroted. jesus will come back in the day of the REVELATIONS and will crush you with his bare hands for disbelieving in him ! happy for you ho believed and didn't see. may your faith be blind as we are fools to christ. for your god can curse the sins of there father even if the sons are innocents ! for you may take slaves for pagan tribes after burning them ! but remenber ! jesus love you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘✝✝✝✝✝✝✝ crosses = light ! DEUTERONOMY 13:12 "if you find a town that worships another god. you must kill everyone in it. men, women, childrens, and animals and burn the town to the ground" DEUTERONOMY 21:10 "you can r*pe captive women, but you cannot resell them as slaves" LUKE 14:26 "if anyone comes to me but does not hate his father, mother, wife, childrens and brother. yes! even he cannot be my disciple" JOHN 15:6 "if a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch and is withered, and men gather them, and cast them into fire, and they are burned" REVELATIONS 17 "come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great god! that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men."
@@ixisinvestigator6009 ,The intellect of the unsaved will never replace Holy Spirit discernment of the saved.God created humans perfect and to live forever . Satan came to the garden and deceived eve , scripture states that sin entered the world through satan, God created the angels and humans with free will , you have little understanding of any of it and you have been blinded as scripture states because you have refused to believe . 1 Corinthians 1:18”For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
@@ixisinvestigator6009 ,you will have your chance to say this face to face to Jesus Christ at the great white throne judgement, don’t worry ,it’s coming , you must like the thought of being burned screaming in agony with your skin continually burning off over and over but can never die in pitch black darkness for eternity because you refused to believe.
@@stephenmay1982 translation: for i am a totally retarded brainwashed in jesus and all i can do if somebody does not believe in what i believe is menacing him of hellfire ! for my god can't do anything good exept menacing ! i can't stand your arguments that show how jesus is not god and a liar. so i will just keep describing how you will be boiled by demons and gremlins for eternity ! so i can scare you and make you obey jesus ! god can't go on earth in a magnificent beautiful form to be obeyd ! he need to impregnante a simple human woman so a second 100% humanified god can be born ! jews will betray him and romans will execute the order of the jews ! but fear not ! cause this simple execution is in reality all the sins of the world that jesus carry on his cross while he is crusified ! he is not put to death because the romans sentenced him. but because he somehow magically extinguished sin by dying. god is so much great and so smart and love you so much that he sent his son to die without
letting him ask his choice "father why have you forsaken me" but somehow his death is magical and save ! read john-13 he still is god ! and in christ we trust ! cause in christ we are saved ! revelations will come and they will all go to hell exept the elected ! god putted his "second god" that he put him into a human evelope just so he can watch him die ! all of it, without even letting him know. it is that his death have a magical redemption impact on you ! just believe (jesus ret*rded logic)
“Bread and wine” represents the body and blood of Christ. Basically, Abraham had communion.
The Heavenly Prince Melchizedek
(11Q13)
A striking mid-first-century BCE document, composed of eleven
fragments from Cave 11 and centred on the mysterious figure of
Melchizedek, was first published by A. S. van der Woude in 1965. It
takes the form of an eschatological midrash in which the proclamation
of liberty to the captives at the end of days (Isa. lxi, 1) is understood as
being part of the general restoration of property during the year of
Jubilee (Lev. xxv, 13), seen in the Bible (Deut. xv, 2) as a remission of
debts.
The heavenly deliverer is Melchizedek. Identical with the archangel
Michael, he is the head of the ‘sons of Heaven’ or ‘gods of Justice’ and
is referred to as elohim and el. The same terminology occurs in the
Songs for the Holocaust of the Sabbath. These Hebrew words
normally mean ‘God’, but in certain specific contexts Jewish tradition
also explains elohim as primarily designating a ‘judge’. Here
Melchizedek is portrayed as presiding over the final Judgement and
condemnation of his demonic counterpart, Belial/Satan, the Prince of
Darkness, elsewhere also called Melkiresha’ (cf. pp. 391, 570). The
great act of deliverance is expected to occur on the Day of Atonement
at the end of the tenth Jubilee cycle.
This manuscript sheds valuable light not only on the Melchizedek
figure in the Epistle to the Hebrews vii, but also on the development of
the messianic concept in the New Testament and early Christianity.
For the editio princeps, see F. García Martinez, E. J. C. Tigchelaar
and A. S. van der Woude, DJD, XXIII, 221-41.
Frs. 1-4
II...And concerning that which He said, In [this] year ofJubilee [each of
you shall return to his property (Lev. xxv, 13); and likewise, And this is
the manner of release:] every creditor shall release that which he has
lent [to his neighbour. He shall not exact it of his neighbour and his
brother], for God’s release [has been proclaimed] (Deut. xv, 2). [And it
will be proclaimed at] the end of days concerning the captives as [He
said, To proclaim liberty to the captives (Isa. lxi, 1). Its interpretation is
that He] will assign them to the Sons of Heaven and to the inheritance
of Melchizedek; f[or He will cast] their [lot] amid the po[rtions of
Melchize]dek, who will return them there and will proclaim to them
liberty, forgiving them [the wrong-doings] of all their iniquities.
And this thing will [occur] in the first week of the Jubilee that follows
the nine Jubilees. And the Day of Atonement is the e[nd of the] tenth
[Ju]bilee, when all the Sons of [Light] and the men of the lot of
Mel[chi]zedek will be atoned for. [And] a statute concerns them [to
prov]ide them with their rewards. For this is the moment of the Year of
Grace for Melchizedek. [And h]e will, by his strength, judge the holy
ones of God, executing judgement as it is written concerning him in the
Songs of David, who said, ELOHIM has taken his place in the divine
council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgement (Psalms lxxxii,
1). And it was concerning him that he said, (Let the assembly of the
peoples) return to the height above them; EL (god) will judge the
peoples (Psalms vii, 7-8). As for that which he s[aid, How long will you]
judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah (Psalms lxxxii,
2), its interpretation concerns Belial and the spirits of his lot [who]
rebelled by turning away from the precepts of God to ... And
Melchizedek will avenge the vengeance of the judgements of God...
and he will drag [them from the hand of] Belial and from the hand of all
the sp[irits of] his [lot]. And all the ‘gods [of Justice’] will come to his aid
[to] attend to the de[struction] of Belial. And the height is ... all the sons
of God... this ... This is the day of [Peace/Salvation] concerning which
[God] spoke [through Isa]iah the prophet, who said, [How] beautiful
upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who proclaims
peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to
Zion: Your ELOHIM [reigns] (Isa. lii, 7). Its interpretation; the
mountains are the prophets... and the messenger is the Anointed one
of the spirit, concerning whom Dan[iel] said, [Until an anointed one, a
prince (Dan. ix, 25)] ... [And he who brings] good [news] , who
proclaims [salvation]: it is concerning him that it is written... [To
comfort all who mourn, to grant to those who mourn in Zion] (Isa. lxi,
2-3). To comfort [those who mourn: its interpretation], to make them
understand all the ages of t[ime] ... In truth ... will turn away from Belial...
by the judgement[s] of God, as it is written concerning him, [who says
toZion] ; your ELOHIM reigns. Zion is ..., those who uphold the
Covenant, who turn from walking [in] the way of the people. And your
ELOHIM is [Melchizedek, who will save them from] the hand of Belial.
As for that which He said, Then you shall send abroad the trump[et
in] all the land (Lev. xxv, 9) ...

This is very interesting. I was just teaching my wife about Theophany...my next step is to learn more about this "biblical meat".
Jesus has always been even before tue beginning. God said “ Let US make man in our own image and OUR Likeness” So Who was God talking to using a double plural US amd OUR ? I can tell you God and Jesus are one in the same Jesus is the body of GOD a perfect sinless temple for the Spirit to Dwell in. God the spirit was talking to God the flesh let’s make man have a body like us and in our own image.
don't forget the Holy Spirit of God, he too is part of the trinity, the US and OUR is 3 parts of one GOD
Great point Jack! I'm not here to preach but I think that would warrant discussion of what the Holy Trinity is.
Paul the Apostle wrote Hebrews, surely you would know that, it was one of his letters to various people and churches.
Dude, you should have way more subs than you do. Is it new content? I watch stuff like this all the time and RUclips as just now recommend it.
Yeah new content! Trying to tackle the tough topics of the bible in animation form. Appreciate it 💙
@@bible.animations Cool, I'm subbed now so hopefully the algorithm starts to pick up, I see no reason why it shouldn't, a lot of folks enjoy short bible animation, can help get their head round complex themes 👍🏻🏴🇦🇺🇳🇿✝️
4:55 scared me, but this video was enlightening
God bless you brother for a very well made and theologically sound piece of work here. A bit off topic, but could you inform me of the music you used to close out the video?😅
Hey Tobi, thank you man. The music is from Epidemic sound, I can let you know the track name in a few days as I'm away at the moment. God bless
Melchizedek is the Highest presiststood ordinance you also speaking the TRUTH
Before Abraham was,I AM.
So 10 verses later in John 9:9 when the man who was born blind uses the same phrase as Jesus that gets translated “I AM”, “egō eime”, was he saying he was God as well?
@Justin Jordan Not sure.
He said several times that He and His Father are one.If you have seen the Son you also have seen the Father.Jesus is God
@@wombatedge No, because context matters. The formerly-blind guy wasn't claiming to be "I AM before Abraham was.", in response to a question about how he could possibly have seen Abraham. He was just saying "I am the same guy who used to be blind and beg".
@@wombatedgereally?
Jesus did have a mother, technically He has a Father, too, albeit not a human one - and He does have a genealogy, it's right there in the Gospels. Therefore, the only view that makes sense is that Melchizedek is a type. There are _many_ Christophanies in the OT, but I don't think Melchizedek is one of them.
Personally I think he's a type and that not having a genealogy is like saying that he isn't from Aaron, since he came before, which is the whole argument of a covenant/will that when the Law became weak and useless and reverted back to Abraham before he was circumcised.
“After Abram returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley ). Then Melchizedek, KING OF SALEM brought out bread and wine; he was a priest to God Most High.”
Genesis 14:17-18 HCSB.
Your exegesis missed two critical points.
He is literally is called the king of Salem ….which is THE FIRST MENTION of Jerusalem.
There are three literal places in two verses SODOM /VALLEY OF SHAVEH / SALEM
When Melchizedek received the 10% that Abraham gave to him ….where did he take it ?
Answer ….he took it back to Jerusalem where he reigned as a literal king
This means he is a type of Christ / nothing more / nothing less
@@johnprins4954 I said he is a type. My comment was nothing more than a comment about him not having any genealogy.
@@ericsmith7287 I think you're right. But there's been a lot of weird comments to this video. The video didn't really frame the debate over Melchizedek properly, so that's probably a big reason for that.
