I have always preferred to see him as a 'type' of Christ....having neither beginning of days nor end of life And a prototype of the true King of Righteousness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Son of God is the prototokos[G4416]=firstborn Colossians 1: 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

Melchizedek was preserved without record of his genealogy so that he would be the prototype of the priesthood that Christ would establish. Remember that Abraham had met the Lord personally when he was 99 ... and he didn't make a direct connection to Melchizedek, which would have made sense since he met a pre-incarnate Christ. Since he didn't, it tells me that Melchizedek was not a "pre-incarnate" Christ but rather a King-Priest that worshiped God, that we don't have much record of his life, much like Job and Enoch. Be blessed, George 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the one whom all of the earth was created! The image of the invisible God and the firstborn of ALL creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. ???? I believe He is eternal and pre-existent, and self existent, and since there is only one who is eternal and self existent, that would make Jesus God incarnate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
