Priest of Shalom who Father Abraham paid a 10th to. Jesus is our High King & Priest of Shalom after the Order of Melchizedek.

I think it is interesting that Islam comes from the Word Shalom also. So does Jeru'salem'. So also who Melchizedek is the High King & Priest of Shalom. And Jesus Priesthood is after the order of Melchizedek.

Do you think this means something?

Got this from Encyclopedia about Jerusalem:

(Je·ru´sa·lem) [Possession (Foundation) of Twofold Peace].
The capital city of the ancient nation of Israel from the year 1070 B.C.E. onward. Following the division of the nation into two kingdoms (997 B.C.E.), Jerusalem continued as the capital of the southern kingdom of Judah. Throughout the Scriptures there are more than 800 references to Jerusalem.
Name. The earliest recorded name of the city is “Salem.” (Ge 14:18) Whereas some try to associate the meaning of the name Jerusalem with that of a West Semitic god named Shalem, the apostle Paul shows that “Peace” is the true meaning of the latter half of the name. (Heb 7:2) The Hebrew spelling of this latter half suggests a dual form, hence “Twofold Peace.” In Akkadian (Assyro-Babylonian) texts the city was called Urusalim (or Ur-sa-li-im-mu). On this basis some scholars give the meaning of the name as “City of Peace.” But the Hebrew form, which logically ought to govern, apparently means “Possession (Foundation) of Twofold Peace.”
Many other expressions and titles were used in the Scriptures to refer to the city. The psalmist on one occasion uses the earlier name, “Salem.” (Ps 76:2) Other appellations were: “city of Jehovah” (Isa 60:14), “town of the grand King” (Ps 48:2; compare Mt 5:35), “City of Righteousness” and “Faithful Town” (Isa 1:26), “Zion” (Isa 33:20), and “holy city” (Ne 11:1; Isa 48:2; 52:1; Mt 4:5). The name “el Quds,” meaning “Holy City,” is still the popular name for it in Arabic. The name shown on present-day maps of Israel is Yerushalayim.

Melchizedek was a high priest and king of Salem, the name that was earlier given before Jerusalem was founded. If Salem and Shalom mean the same thing then you may have a point. Otherwise, the Melchizedek Priesthood, or the Priesthood after the Order of the Son of God, remains the same as it was in ancient days--the authority to act in God's name.

Note: Melchizedek was a mortal who lived and died. He was not eternal, without beginning or end of days, but the priesthood that he held. Big difference.

Genesis 14:18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine and he was priest of the most high God.
Abraham gave him a tenth of everything.
He was to be a picture of Jesus Christ who had no beginning or no end. Prophecy :
Psalms 110:4 you are a priest to time indefinite according to the manner of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 6:20 Where a forerunner has entered in our behalf, Jesus , who has become a high priest according to the manner of melchizedek forever.
Hebrews 7:1For this melchizedek King of Salem priest of the most high God who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him.

That was a prophecy that was fulfilled in Jesus.
shalom is a totally different word something like Hello.
May God be with you. Something like that.

The word Shalom was derived from the early Canaanite God, Shalim, associated with early twilight.
[and hence the evening star] Shalim presided over peace. Rome the word was Venus.
The early Hebrews get the word for peace from this ancient culture.
Or ancient God of the Canaanite, Shalim.

That was all I got for that word. I had a real hard time doing copy and paste and then had to write it down.
Shalom means peace of God be with you

Shalim Shalem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Shalem)
Shalim is the god of dusk in the pantheon of Ugarit. He is the twin brother and counterpart of Shahar the god of dawn. The name *shalem, which is a Semitic root meaning Wholeness (and later extended to the concept of Peace as creatures and buildings are only whole in peacetime), is given to the god from the sense of the wholeness / completion of the day[citation needed].


hope this helps I got it from Wikipedia.
Means: wholeness?
