Who is Melchizedek?
Melchizedek is disclosed in only three books
of the bible:
#1 Genesis 14:18
18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and
wine: he was the priest of God Most High.
#2 Psalm 110:4
4 The LORD has sworn
And will not relent,
"You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek."
#3 Hebrews 5:6
6 As He also says in another place:
"You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek:,
Hebrews 6:20
20 where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus,
having become High Priest forever to the order of
Melchizedek."
Hebrews 7:1,9-11,15,17,21
1 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,
9 Even, Levi who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham,
so to speak,
10 for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek
met him.
11 Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood
(for under it the people receive the law),what further need
was there that another priest should rise according to the
order of Melchizedek, and not according to the order of Aaron?
15 And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of
Melchizedek, there arises another priest
17 For He testifies:
"You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek."
21 (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an
oath by Him who said to Him:
"The LORD has sworn
And will not relent,
'You are a priest forever
According to the order of
Melchizedek'"),
Let's get the question answered. . .
* Melchizedek is not in the order of Levi, in
fact,Levi pays tithes to Melchizedek by the
act of Abraham paying tithes to Melchizedek.
(This is found in Hebrews 7:9)
* Melchizedek is a priest who proceeds the
entire Levi line.
* Melchizedek, who is the King of Salem,
(meaning the king of peace), of whom Abraham
pays tithes to, has no known parents to the
people of that time.
A mystery in the bible!?
Who is Melchizedek?
SHEM!
WHERE WE GET THE ANSWER:
Genesis 11:10-26
10 This is the genealogy of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old,
and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.
11 After he begot Arphaxad, Shem lived five hundred years, and
begot sons and daughters.
12 Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Salah.
13 After he begot Salah, Arphaxad lived four hundred and three
years, and begot sons and daughters.
14 Salah lived thirty years, and begot Eber.
15 After he begot Eber, Salah lived four hundred and three years,
and begot sons and daughters.
16 Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg.
17 After he begot Peleg, Eber lived four hundred and thirty years,
and begot sons and daughters.
18 Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu.
19 After he begot Reu, Peleg lived two hundred and nine years, and
begot sons and daughters.
20 Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Serug.
21 After he begot Serug, Reu lived two hundred and seven years,
and begot sons and daughters.
22 Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor.
23 After he begot Nahor, Serug lived one hundred and nineteen years,
and begot sons and daughters.
24 Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and begot Terah.
25 After he begot Terah, Nahor lived one hundred and nineteen years,
and begot sons and daughters.
26 Now Terah, lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Now, we take this info and break it down. . .
Flood + 2 = Shem + 100
Shem is 100 yrs old, two years after the Flood:
Flood + 2 = Death of Shem = 602
Shem dies 500 years later at the age of 602.
Name of Year after Flood Age of Shem when Total years
son: when son is born: this son is born : lived by this son:
Arphaxad 2 102 403
Salah 37 137 403
Eber 67 167 430
Peleg 101 201 209
Reu 131 231 207
Serug 163 263 200
Nahor 193 293 119
Tehrah 222 322 205
Abram 292 <<<(Shem will live another 208 years after this year.)
(Abraham dies 467 years after Flood.)
* SHEM DIES 500 YEARS AFTER FLOOD AT THE AGE OF 602.
* Shem lives through the next 9+ generations!
* Do you know the name of your great,great,great,
great,great grandfather?
* No wonder why no one knows who the King of
Salem's parents are.
* Melchizedek is Shem because Shem outlives all of
the generations of his own son!
* He outlives all generations before Abraham and
even Abraham... Shem probably attended
Abraham's funeral.
* Shem is Noah's first born son, the priest line
continues through him after the Flood
and he was given the name, Melchizedek.
