• Melchizedek – Communion Broken Bread and Wine (Genesis 14:18)
• Joseph – Pharaoh Akhenaten’s two servant’s dreams – Communion Broken Bread ‘baker’ and Wine ‘cupbearer’ (Genesis 40:1-23)
• Jesus – Communion Broken Bread and Wine (Matthew 26:26-39)
Melchizedek is an OT Appearance of Jesus Christ – Melchizedek is not an earthly king of a city. Melchizedek is the ‘Eternal’ Heavenly God King presenting His Eternal Religion of Righteousness & Peace to Humanity.
Is ‘Eternal’ Melchizedek the Ultimate King and Priest? YES!
It was forbidden in the OT for a Levitical Priest and a Tribe of Judah King to hold the same offices – Only the Messiah Jesus Christ is The Prophet, Melchizedek High Priest, Tribe of Judah King – all three Biblical Offices in One Person.
The Biblical Importance of the Eternal King Melchizedek
Melchizedek is mentioned 3 times in the Bible – twice in the Old Testament once with Abraham (Genesis 14:18-20) and once with King David (Psalm 110:4) the two most important people in the Bible’s Old Testament.
The King of Righteousness and of Peace the Eternal Melchizedek is mentioned in the New Testament book of Hebrews as Jesus Christ himself in a pre-incarnate appearance.
Melchizedek fulfilled all three Biblical Offices: The Prophet, High Priest, King
It is important that Melchizedek also fulfilled all three Biblical Offices of Prophet, High Priest, King.
• Prophet – The Prophetic Bread and Wine (Last Supper, New Testament Communion of Jesus Christ) offering to Abraham by Melchizedek
• High Priest – Abraham paid a Tithe to the High Priest Melchizedek
• Eternal King – Melchizedek (Jesus Christ) is the Eternal King with the Eternal Kingdom and the Eternal Religion of Righteousness and Peace
The Appearance of Melchizedek
Watch (G1127 – be vigilant) therefore: for ye know (G1492 – precieve, have prior knowledge) not what hour your Lord doth come (G2064 – appear). ~ Matthew 24:42
The Old Testament Appearance of Melchizedek to Abraham (Genesis 14:18, John 8:56) was in preparation for the 1st Coming of Jesus Christ the Messiah.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day (appearance as Melchizedek): and he saw it, and was glad. ~ John 8:56 KJV
The Old Testament faith of Abraham (Romans 4:16) was waiting for the Messiah Jesus Christ that had already made an Appearance in Melchizedek.
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the Promise might be sure to all the seed (descendants); not to that only which is of the ‘Jewish ‘ law, but to that also which is of the Faith of Abraham; who is the ‘faithful’ father of us all, ~ Romans 4:16 KJV
The Old Testament Jewish people in waiting for their Messiah were not waiting for a stranger or for an event that hadn’t happened – the Messiah Jesus Christ had already appeared to the Jewish people in Abraham.
The Christian New Testament Church is likewise waiting for the return of the incarnate Jesus Christ the Messiah in His 2nd Coming – a second physical apperance. The Church is waiting with full knowledge that Jesus Christ having already been present once physically will return physical in His presence to Reign and Rule in His Glorious Kingdom for Eternity.

A thousand years later, David prophesies about him. Two thousand years later, the Apostle Paul in writing the book of Hebrews reveals that Jesus Christ is our High Priest according to His eternal order.
