Question:
I claim that Melchizedek is Holy Spirit
Answer:
In fact, I am shocked to listen to your statement that Melchizedek is Holy
Spirit.
Though you mixed
up many things to prove your statement, I have cut-short the question so, the
reader and global search engine picks the subject.
Also, you have
been mentioning Trinity, God, Son & Holy Spirit etc.
If you say Holy
Spirit is Melchizedek, then You also agree that God, Son &
Melchizedek??
Originally I
wanted to ignore spending time to answer on this subject, but later – I will be
the sinner if I did not utilize to reveal the Truth on such erroneous concept.
I do not know
how such erroneous combination entered into the Christendom. So sad to hear in
the current world and very panic to see how the ages of our children!!
God, pls have
mercy on us.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ BELOW FULLY AND ATTENTIVELY
UNLESS YOU READ IN OPEN MIND, NOTHING WILL BE LEARN.
The author of
Hebrews is neither stating that Jesus or Holy Spirit was Melchizedek
but that Jesus had attributes similar to Melchizedek
("in the likeness of").
Melchizedek was the king of a city-state called Salem,
he also was a priest of the one true God (Genesis
14:18). This stands out because it shows that the worship of God was not
limited to Abraham's lineage.
Jesus also is
both our King and our High Priest. The author of Hebrews quotes Psalms 110:4 to
prove this was always a part of God's plan. The Messiah would not only be a
king, but also a priest.
It was long
prophesied that the Messiah would be of the tribe of
Judah and of the lineage of David,
but the priests came from the tribe of Levi and
of the linage of Aaron.
For the Messiah
to be both king and priest, the law that separated these two positions would
have to change.
There are other ways that Jesus and Melchizedek
are similar. "For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most
High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings
and blessed him, to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the
spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of
righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace. Without
father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor
end of life, but made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually"
(Hebrews 7:1-3).
Melchizedek
means "king of righteousness" which is also an appropriate title for
Jesus.
Melchizedek was
also king of Salem, and "Salem" means "peace." Jesus, too,
can be described as the king of peace. In addition, Melchizedek is a bit of a
mystery. He appears in Genesis without any mention of who his father was or
where he came from. Nor are we ever told what became of Melchizedek. That
unfinished story leaves us hanging.
While people
knew who Jesus' earthly parents were, they didn't know the whole story. Jesus
pre-existed his time on earth. He lives eternally, which always puzzles people
in how to describe the eternal Jesus as the Son of the Eternal Father.
Eternity implies
no beginning or end -- sort of like the story of
Melchizedek, though logically we know that Melchizedek did have a
beginning and an end.
However, the
Hebrews writer argues that we can say that Melchizedek's priesthood continues
since we are not told it ended.
Abraham gave
Melchizedek a tenth of the spoils from his battle with the kings from Elam and
the neighboring counties because Melchizedek was a priest of God. This was a
way for Abraham to thank God for his success.
"Now observe how great this man was to whom
Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth of the choicest spoils. And those indeed
of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have commandment in the Law
to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren, although
these are descended from Abraham. But the one whose genealogy is not traced
from them collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed the one who had the
promises. But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater. In this
case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it
is witnessed that he lives on. And, so to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who
received tithes, paid tithes, for he was still in the loins of his father when
Melchizedek met him" (Hebrews 7:4-10).
The author of
Hebrews point is that Abraham gave a tenth to someone and received a blessing
from the same person. Typically it is the greater person who blesses the lesser
person. This then means Abraham saw Melchizedek as a greater person than
himself, despite the promises Abraham had from God.
This logically
means that Abraham's descendants, who are beneath Abraham, though at this time
unborn, are also beneath Melchizedek. The Levites, in particular, collect a
tithe, but that tithe only comes from their own brethren. Melchizedek received
a tithe from an unrelated person, so again he is the greater.
All of this is
mentioned to provide evidence that the priesthood of Melchizedek is greater
than the priesthood of Aaron. Thus, Jesus being a priest after the order of
Melchizedek is a part of a greater order of priests.
Yes, Holy Spirit
was with Melchizedek. But MUST NOT say that Holy Spirit is Melchizedek.
