"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." -Hebrews 7:1-3 The New Testament
Of all
the people mentioned in the Bible, few have caused such mystery as the
Old Testament priest- Melchizedek. With only a few snips of mention in
the Old Testament, one does not realize his uniqueness until the New Testament
book of Hebrews.
His
majestic nature was so great that even God declared Jesus Christ's service
would be patterned after his priesthood:
"So
also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that
said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. As he saith
also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications
with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death,
and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience
by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the
author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Called of God
an high priest after the order of Melchisedec." -Hebrews 5:5-10 The New
Testament
We know
from the Biblical account that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit
in the Virgin Mary. Therefore, He was part man and part God. The scriptures
testify to the fact that He was the exact representation of God in the
flesh:
"God,
who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers
by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom
he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person,
and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself
purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;" -Hebrews
1:1-3 The New Testament
Who then
was Melchizedek? "Without father, without mother, without descent, having
neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son
of God..." No one really knows here on earth. However, we can say
one thing for certain; He was an intelligent being not of this race. Further,
he was truly the definition of an extraterrestrial-intelligent-being! Totally
beyond our scientific understanding.
Now I'm not saying that Melchizedek
was a four foot, almond-eyed grey or a Nephilimite giant. I'm saying that
the Bible tells us that he is the greatest being that ever visited this
planet next to Jesus Christ and that he has NO genetic relation
to our race. He is a true extraterrestrial that evidently looked just like
us!
Next time you hear someone
tell you that there is no mention of an ET in the Bible, ask them- "Who
was Melchizedek?" |
