Who is Melchizedek (Animation)

- The last theory blew my mind!
Melchizedek is a man who served as King of Salem, later known as Jerusalem. His name means king of righteousness and his position is not only king but also priest of the God most high. His one physical appearance in scripture is very interesting and what is said about him later adds more depth to the mystery.

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 ?????
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.
@@antoniopetra6983 are you interesting in making content refuting this channel? I can look into it for sure
@@bible.animations yes I am.
Old aches and pains washed away
In 30 minutes. for all. in Jesus name
Warning the power is intense
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?
@@madikaldoktor9986 you sound angry just like the one on your profile picture.
this answered the video
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.
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…☝️😎
Imagine only being mentioned a couple times in the Bible, yet being one of the most important people in the Bible.
that is a reason why many people believe the bible to be incomplete, but others consider that claim to be heretical.
@@michaelsheflo ???
Enoch
@@michaelshefloit is incomplete. Enoch, Maccabees, Song of Solomon, Jubilees, Yashar etc.
@@MrBrianpdj Those are apocryphal books no?
“Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day;
he saw it and was glad”. John
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
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.
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.
Good word, brother. A brief and well thought out examination of the King of Salem and Jesus! Praying for your ministry to continue to grow!
I think Jesus also confirms it when He says “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” - Jhn.8:56.
That’s right
I’m pretty sure Jesus was there when he destroyed Sodom
@@thelonelysponge5029He was and if you read carefully there is no way around it
@@a.n.1102 huh?
@@thelonelysponge5029How? Our Lord was one of the angels that saved Lot?
Very well done. I applaud you for presenting the viewpoints of both sides objectively.
This verse is a good indication “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” John 8:48-59
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.
Subscribed! Thanks for this, very interesting and surprised I overlooked Melchizedek in my study
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.
Absolutely love it man. Realy great work
Thank you for this! I have been so desiring info on Melchizedek! 🙏
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.
Thank you for Bible animations! You are a great gift!😀
Another fantastic video!!! Thank you!
Just discovered your channel much deserved sub awesome work-God bless
Incredible video! God bless you and your ministry in Jesus name Amen.
I love that you end tough topics with the gospel. Very cool!
It’s just fascinating! You got a sub!
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?
Melchizedek was the first person to get the Melchizedek priesthood, that’s why it’s named after him
Glad I found this channel. GREAT EXPLANATIONS! 👍
I love this. Amazing job my brother
I think you’re a very gifted thinker. Well done.
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.
@alwilson3204
Thank you! You speak the truth.
Trinitarian bias it is.😢
@@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!
Thank you Robert, God bless you!
This video was so informative and awesome! I just read Hebrews 7 and wanted to find out more about Melchizedek. Excellent work. Thank you
Really great, eye-opening vid.
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.
And why? because they knew something that is not in the old testament as well. Melchizedek was surely Jesus.
Very interesting 🤔
Guess what.. Solomons temple wasn’t on the Temple Mount either.
@@1611KJV And there are no nephilim.
I wonder if the Essenes knew more about Melchizedek.
Very well done video. good job brother!
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!
Praise Yeshua for being our High Priest 🙌🏾
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.
Really love your channel
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.
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.
Great job! I was just wondering about Melchizedek, and God showed me this video.
Same! I've wondered for years, but it just rose to thought again recently.
Bro same
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?
Amazing video bro!!
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!
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
@@benwilliams3539 maybe
Jesus is the king of righteousness and peace ! He is melchizedek
@@Vellisaden0207 no he’s not, no where in the Bible does it say Melchizedek is Jesus, no where!!
@@itzjosue3821 nobody in The Bible mentions Trinity.......
I agree. Keep up the good work.
Well researched! You are correct....
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.
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!
Amen
Great job 👏. Excellent
Amen brother in Christ keep your good job
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
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%
Anyone curious on Melchizedek should check out the Bible project's video on priest kings and the following podcasts. They really clear up the ancient beliefs of this story and the theology behind it
You just got a new subscriber
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
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
This was incredible!!!
GREAT JOB BROTHER.... YOU HIT IT ON THE NAIL!!!
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.
Absolutely true!
Melchizedek was certainly an appearance of Christ!
Furthermore everyone that accepts Christ is not only a Christian but also a member of the priesthood of God.
Lol Jesus Christ wasn't a Christian, that doesn't even make sense.
I don't see any confirmable statement in the bible that would lead us to conclusively say that. The treatment of Melchizedek was one of honor but not worship or adoration. I feel like if Abraham had met God Himself his treatment may have been quite a bit different.
@@jamesbaggaley18able two points,
1) The scripture clearly states that Melchizedek is “ the priest of the most high God” combine that with apostle Pauls statement that Christ is “High priest after the order of Melchizedek “ combined with the fact that Melchizedek brought bread and wine representing a type of communion or the body and blood of Christ. Combined with the fact that Melchizedek is stated as being without beginning of days or ending of days, we can speculate that Melchizedek was Christ the son of God.
2) Abraham offered and gave a 10th of the spoils to Melchizedek. Tithing a form of reverence to a spiritual authority dating back to Cane and Able and forward to the Levite priesthood. I don’t think Melchizedek was representing God himself but rather Christ .
@@theespjames4114 Your first point is true. But it says the word "Order" and organization or brotherhood. As such we infer that an order organization has more than one person. The verse doesn't say that Christ hasn't invited others to be part of that order. Moses' priesthood was greater than that of Aaron. I would suggest that he is a member of this order. A superior priesthood would also explain why he was invited into God present while the High Levitical priest was only allowed into the Holy of Holies on the day of atonement to spread blood over teh alter. So the statement isn't exclusionary. For your second point you are right tithing is an ancient practice. As such, Abraham would pay tithing which would be put in the care of a higher ranked priest such as in the levitical order. They payment of tithing doesn't suggest that this is Christ incarnate. In fact the bible is pretty clear that Christ was to come in the Meridian of time not that he came many times. Otherwise why would all these sacrifices prefigure someone that had already come?
@@jamesbaggaley18able
You’re right.
The Melchizedek priesthood is an order. Like Christ and Christianity it predates Judaism and the Levite priesthood which was only a similitude of the Melchizedek priesthood.
Everyone called by God through the door that is Christ is cloaked in Christ Righteousness because we have lost our own righteousness through sin.
Christ Cloak of Righteousness is actually a priest garment that sanctifies us to go into the Holy of Holy and stand before God and go through the process of Circumcision of the heart and qualify for the Abrahamic covenant that makes us priest in this same order.
In the wilderness at the foot of Mt Sinai there were a small group of people ( the remnant) that didn’t reject God and Christ for a Golden Calf.
Moses was one of them but Aaron was not!
Moses completed his circumcision of the heart and became a priest in the Order of Christ, Aaron did not and became a high priest in the (Similitude) levite priesthood.
Moses pleaded with the children of Israel to circumcise their hearts to no avail. This is just a snippet .
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
Well done good and faithful servant of the Lord.
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?

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.

Very good and interesting topic.
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.

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

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.
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.
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.
This is very interesting. I was just teaching my wife about Theophany...my next step is to learn more about this "biblical meat".
I’ve read some suggest he may be Shem
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
Very logical and well explained
Very good presentation
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.
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.
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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Why do you follow a 19th century fraud based on occult nonsense like seer stones, absurdities like ancient North American Jews, and Heresy like tritheism? Come to Christ
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.
Interesting topic. Have always found Melchizedek quite mysterious. By the way I would think Psalm 23 is the most quoted Psalms, and one of the most quoted verses in the entire Bible.
He said most quoted by the authors of the New Testament. That one took me a bit to register, too.
