Who is Malkeysadack? (i don't think that is how you spell his name)?

Question

they mention him in a roman catholic mass.

Answer 1

Dear Smartgurl,

You can read a little bit more about Melchizedek in the book of Hebrews 7:1-8:13. The main point of Hebrews is that Jesus Christ is above everything.

Melchizedek is a king and a priest (see Hebrews 7:1) and Hebrews talks about how great Melchizedek was that even Abraham gave him a 10% tithe, and this is in a section of the Scriptures where Jesus is shown as being superior to the Law.

People don't obtain their righteousness (their right standing with God by doing good works) but by placing their faith in what Jesus Christ has done. Timothy says there is one mediator between man and God- Jesus Christ.

Hope that helps. If you'd like to read Hebrews 7 and ask more questions- be more than glad to help.

God Bless You. Kindly,

Nickster

Answer 2

It's Melchizedek. Look in these places; Gn. 14:18-20, Ps. 110:4, Heb. 5:6-10; 6:20; and 7:1-17
There is not a lot known about him but I hope this helps.

Answer 3

I believe that you are referring to Melchizedek, who was the King of Salem, and priest of God most high at the time of Abraham. You can find the story of Melchizedek in Genesis 14, and he's a picture or type of the true priest, Jesus Christ, as referred to in Hebrews chapters 5 thru 7.

Answer 4

The correct spelling is: Melchizedek

MELCHIZEDEK was a royal priest, and the royal priesthood was made like him. The apostle Paul teaches: “Christ did not glorify himself by becoming a high priest, but was glorified by him who spoke with reference to him: ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father.’ Just as he says also in another place: ‘You are a priest forever after the likeness of Melchizedek.’ . . . he has been specifically called by God a high priest after the likeness of Melchizedek.” (Heb. 5:5, 6, 10, NW) What is this likeness? and what does it mean?

The original record of this royal priest shows his appearance on the scene in connection with the most ancient war reported in the Scriptures. It was an invasion of the Jordan valley. A great fight resulted between the kings of those days and the people of the valley. The invaders won and took spoils and prisoners, including Lot and his family. Lot’s uncle, Abram, when informed of the capture, gathered together his trained slaves and pursued the victors, overcame them, rescuing the prisoners and returning the spoils. It was on Abram’s return from this victorious warfare that Melchizedek came forward. (See Genesis 14:1-20.) Paul in a most interesting way explains at Hebrews 7:1-3 (NW): “For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him and to whom Abraham apportioned a tenth from all things, is first of all, by translation, ‘King of righteousness,’ and is then also king of Salem, that is, ‘King of peace.’ In being fatherless, motherless, without genealogy, having neither a beginning of days nor an end of life, but having been made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually.”
