Genesis 14: 17 – 24 – Who was Melchizedek? Is he a foreshadowing of Yeshua, the Christ, the second person of the Trinity? Or is He in fact a Theophany, a manifestation of God’s presence in the Old Testament?Fascinating, even moreso if we put the key biblical threads covering Melchizedek together: Psalm 110 (note Yeshua (Jesus) quotes this from David) / Hebrews – Chapter 7 / Hebrews 5:10 / Ephesians 2: 14 -15.
And I enjoyed this article in summary:

“Jesus: the priest forever. We can’t get so wrapped up in the stories of our individual lives only to find we have lost sight of the big story – the metanarrative tale that God is weaving. Melchizedek is but a thread in the story that tells ofthe salvation of souls through Christ, and that thread highlights a more complete view of our glorious Savior. Melchizedek is important. Any glimpse in scripture which offers a more complete view of Jesus is beauty and truth that we cannot set aside. He is the perfect one, the Ancient of Days, the priest forever!” Wow!
