and it says he was the priest of the most high God.... and the word says Jesus was a priest after the order of Melchizedek.
Are these two seperate people or one in the same ...but maybe this person showed up in different time tables through out History???
What are your thoughts or research on this?? Thanks

Some pretty good answers here to consider. However Melchizedek was not, and is not, our Sovereign Universe Creator Father-Son Jesus Christ. The Bible states the truth that this Melchizedek who appeared on earth about 4,000 years ago is a "lesser Christ." There are ten million Melchizedek Sons of God, Created hundreds of billions of years ago by both our Creator Jesus Christ and our Holy Creative Spirit. They are very high Sons of God, being just one step lower than Jesus Christ Who IS the highest Son of God in our universe and also fully GOD here. They have about the same Divinity as Jesus, but now have no Coordinate Deity Creator Powers that Jesus has. Some think that they may be given some limited Creator Powers in this universe later when we human sons of God in Jesus are perfected, given Eternal Paradise Residence, and also go out in the much larger Master Universe Ultimate-level cosmos with our eternal Father-Leader-Friend Jesus.
Melchizedek taught Abraham and a few others some of the ELOHIM Trinity Truths; but the stubborn Jews rejected that; and thus also rejected Jesus Christ when He Incarnated here over 2,000 years ago. Other Sons of God and other high Spirit Beings are soon due to arrive and help convert all in this still dark world to the Sovereign Rule of our Good Master Jesus Christ. Jesus may or may not return Personally then ... that is fully up to Him. We can all pray for his soon return. He is now 100% in Spirit here with all of us as He the Spirit of ALL Truth ! See John 16:7-16

I think you are right. I understand that Melchizedek may very well be the Christ known also as "Jesus" Makes sense, since He is the only One that I can reason that can appear in the different time zones as One who is priest of "The Most High" (Jehovah). Read also: Heb 5:6; Heb 6:20; 7:1; Ps 110:4; Gen 14:18. And read Chap. 15 in the Hebrews, too.

That's an interesting mystery. Mel ministered to Abraham, but we don't know much about him. It could be Jesus, or an angel. There were two priestly orders, Melchizedek and Levi. Levi was the earthly order in the Jewish culture. Mel was the spiritual order that Levi was fashioned after. Melchizedek could very well be the true priestly function of the spiritual realm, that's why Jesus was fashioned after that and not the earthly order. Mel was a higher more realistic and true priestly function that was latent in the Jewish culture and scripture, and only reappeared when the Christ was fulfilled.

If you get a healthy answer to this I would be very interested. He is quite the mystery man.
He lived in the times of Abraham and it says Abraham went a long way out of his way to pay tithings to him. So did all the great generals of that day and region. It is said Melchizedek sits at the right hand of God and Jesus comes in the order of Melchizedek ...so Jesus must be of a lower class and Melchizedek must have been one hell-of-a mystic to have been paid such great homage by Abraham

Melchizedek's priesthood had no parentage. It was the priesthood of the Son of God. As the King of Salem, he was literally the Prince of Peace. Holding the higher priesthood, Abraham, offered him his tithes. When the Aaronic priesthood was established, it was less than the priesthood of Melchizedek. Paul uses this to show that Jesus, although not of the tribe of Levi, was a holder of the highest priesthood.
The Melchizedek priesthood was held by the Apostles, but was lost to the world until the restoration of the Gospel.

A notable prophet and leader who lived about 2000 B.C. He is called the king of Salem (Jerusalem), king of peace, and “priest of the most High God.” Unfortunately, information concerning him in the Bible is relatively scarce, being limited to Gen. 14: 18-20; Heb. 4: 6; Heb. 7: 1-3. Mention of the priesthood of Melchizedek is given in several other instances, primarily in Psalms and in Hebrews. Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek and Abraham received the priesthood from Melchizedek.

Melchizedek (sometimes spelled Melchisedek), whose name means “king of righteousness” was a king of Salem (Jerusalem) and priest of the Most High God (Genesis 14:18-20; Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 5:6-11; 6:20-7:28). Melchizedek's sudden appearance and disappearance in the Book of Genesis are somewhat mysterious. Melchizedek and Abraham first met after Abram's defeat of Chedorlaomer and his three allies. Melchizedek presented bread and wine to Abraham and his weary men, demonstrating friendship. He bestowed a blessing on Abraham in the name of El Elyon ("God Most High"), and praised God for giving Abraham a victory in battle (Genesis 14:18-20).
Abraham presented Melchizedek with a tithe (a tenth) of all the items he had gathered. By this act Abraham indicated that he recognized Melchizedek as a fellow-worshiper of the one true God as well as a priest who ranked higher spiritually than himself. Melchizedek's existence shows that there were people other than Abraham and his family who served the true God.
In Psalm 110, a messianic psalm written by David (Matthew 22:43), Melchizedek is seen as a type of Christ. This theme is repeated in the Book of Hebrews, where both Melchizedek and Christ are considered kings of righteousness and peace. By citing Melchizedek and his unique priesthood as a type, the writer shows that Christ's new priesthood is superior to the old Levitical order and the priesthood of Aaron (Hebrews 7:1-10).
Some propose that Melchizedek was actually a pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus Christ. While possible, I find this view unlikely. Melchizedek was the king of Salem. Would Jesus Christ have come to earth and ruled as an earthly king over a city? I seriously doubt it. Melchizedek is similar to Christ in that they are both priests and kings - but they are not the same person.

There is a book on him. Ive always been fascinated by him also. No birth record, no mother or father...makes you wonder about those around you. Anybody could be a meclchizedek type. He certainly walked the earth. He was in the old and new testament so there was no limits on his age. When you find something, come holla at me. Like i said , there is a book on him and i did read it, but that was like 10 years ago and i loaned it out...hadnt seen the person or the book since.

I won't waffle on and rattle off a whole heap of Scripture, that may not get read anyways,.
So to the point,
He IS and WAS And is to COME, (according to the order of Melchizedek).
That is what I personally believe.

Traditionally, Melchizedek was Shem, son of Noah.
