This Melchizedek was king of Salem and
priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings
and blessed him, and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name
Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means
“king of peace.” Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning
of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.
~Hebrews 7:1-3
This Melchizedek guy is making me wonder... who was he for real, and where is he now? What a mysterious paragraph...
I keep seeing
the small passages from the Bible that include him, and so I keep wondering.
