Who is Mechisedec and his role in God's kingdom?

Melchizedek is a mysterious figure in the Bible, mentioned in the book of Genesis and Hebrews. He was a priest and king of Salem who blessed Abraham. Melchizedek's role is often interpreted as a prefiguration of Christ, representing a priesthood that is eternal and superior. This connection is emphasized in the New Testament to illustrate Christ's role as the ultimate high priest.


Why did Jesus call the priest after the order of Melchizedek in Hebrew 5 10?

Melchizedek (a king and priest) lived some 600 years before the Levitical priesthood was instituted. Levitical priests were priests because of their genealogy. Melchizedek (without any genealogy) and Jesus were not Levites. Christ was of the tribe of Judah. The Levites offered animal sacrifices; Jesus offered Himself. In the days of Moses, the tribe of Levi was set apart for priesthood. Later, another family was set apart for kings. The kings ruled the people while the priests offered sacrifices. Christ was both King and Priest; similiar to, but far greater than Melchizedek. Another View: The Genesis account of Abram giving tithes to Melchizedek, King David's Psalm 110:1-4, and Paul's 3 chapters in Hebrews (5 thru 7), will eventually point the reader to conclude that the identity of Melchizedek was the pre-existing Word in the Old Testament (Logos), who lowered Himself and was begotten by His Father to become Jesus our Christ some 2,000 years after blessing Abram.
