Was jesus the same as melchisedeck?

Answer 1

Yes, in every way. He was in fact Jesus. Having no mother, no father, NO BEGINNING NO END. YOU TELL ME!!! Hebrews 7... For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

CORRECTION

Melchisedek WAS NOT IN FACT Jesus!! Jesus did not pre-exist!! Jesus was "of the order of Melchisedec". Also, Jesus did have a mother and an earthly father. To say otherwise denies a profound truth of Christianity!

Mary was surrogate mother as of the Holy Spirit. Joseph was aware he could not have produced Jesus as he knew her not till after their marriage.The lineage of Jesus through Joseph and Mary was from David.This accounts for Jesus physical presence and the descent of the Holy Spirit gave Him Spiritual affinity of God the Father."The Father and I are One",said Jesus. We do not know if Melchisedec was Jesus but He obviously shared the same Spiritual origin and some of His attributes.

Hi All, just to add to the above mentioned topic. As a theologian I firmly know that, Jesus was not in fact Melchisedec, and if Melchisedek's priesthood was equal to Jesus' then there would have been no need for Jesus. Melchisedec as the scripture states was a man who had a lineage, however that lineage was not traced and could not be traced at that time. However today by the Spirit it can be revealed that Melchisedec was in fact a certain human being made with a priesthood superior to the Levitical priesthood but lower that that of Jesus'. In fact, Melchisedec needs Jesus for salvation. Yes when Melchisedec appeared on the scene he had no father, he had no mother, he had no lineage or descendants. Some people advocate that it was God the Father, some say Jesus in theophany, some say Shem the son of Noah who was alive at that time, some say Angels. In my opinion, there is only one person mentioned in scripture that can fits the criteria of Melchisedek perfectly by virtue of the fact that he has not yet tasted death like Elijah. If he was on the scene he would have been without mother or father or ancestors or descendants. He existed before the flood and will come again with Elijah to die as one of the 2 witnesses of Revelation chapter 11. He is the person of Genesis 5 who was raptured by God and his name is "Enoch". God rapture him to make him a type of Christ. Thanks for asking the question hope this was helpful, regards Kevin Dhirajh.
