I believe that Jesus preexisted , and it was Melchizedek?

Question

bible speaks of a person named melchizadek who had no begining , and this person is named as the most holy. i believe that this person was jesus .
could i be correct?

Answer 1

I believe Melchizedek was a type of Jesus but not Jesus Himself for the following reasons. The Old Testament was full of types and shadows like the sacrifices, priests, etc. Also Jesus had not been born yet (incarnation) so it would not have been the Christ as in true man and true God in one person yet. In Hebrew where we read about Melchizedek the main theme of the Book is the Superiority of Jesus over all that was before him and that is why He is compared to Moses, Joshua, Angels, Priests, sacrifices Prophets, Solomon etc.and even Melchizedek as the one who is far greater than all these.

Answer 2

Well, Jesus did pre-exist, and I believe He can definitely be seen in the character of Melchizedek, who was this mystical high priest that the Bible only mentions vaguely. I definitely believe that. I believe Jesus, as the Word of God, also was around in the garden of Eden. The Bible says the "voice" of the Lord was walking through the Garden in the cool of the evening... and to me, voice and word are the same-- so I believe it was Jesus who found Adam and Eve after they had sinned.

Answer 3

This is a popular claim that Melchizedek was a Christiphony, or an Old Testament appearance of the Christ. the other claim is that he was just a man. Jesus has always existed because he is God. He is properly known as Jesus the Christ Son of God.

Answer 4

Melchizedek was Christ Himself. Which being interrpertered is King of Salem. (king of peace) Christ a Preist King of Jerusalem prepared a ritual meal for Abraham and received tithes from him.

Melchizdek (Christ) was and is the Most High priest of God.

See Gen: 14: 18 and Psalms 110; 4

This will answer your question.

Answer 5

If a god really existed, and wanted us to know about him, why would he go to the trouble of coming to Earth in human form in order to persuade a few people that he really exists and leave everyone else unconvinced?

All religious beliefs are exactly what you would expect people to believe if religion is pure fiction.

Answer 6

No! Melchizadek was God The Father. (See description of him in Hebrews 7:3).

Answer 7

How come you've answered so many questions yet you're still on level 1?

Answer 8

No Jesus could not be Melchizedek according to the Bible.
But the verses about Melchizedek, Abraham and Jesus also pose problems for the common ways of believing in Jesus Christ.

"Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest.." but "a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec", "after the similitude of Melchisedec".
Melchizedek was the "king of Salem", a "priest of the most high God", who "payed tithes in(to) Abraham".
As for living forever this could mean spiritual even into eternal life.


14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
(King James Bible, Genesis)

110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
(King James Bible, Psalms)
5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
5:6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
(King James Bible, Hebrews)

6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
(King James Bible, Hebrews)

7:9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
7:10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
(King James Bible, Hebrews)

7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
7:15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, 7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
7:17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
(King James Bible, Hebrews)

7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: 7:21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) 7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
(King James Bible, Hebrews)
