Heb 7:3
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.

HE HAS NO BEGINNING AND ENDING. So who is HE?

matrix789: Heb 7:3
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.

HE HAS NO BEGINNING AND ENDING. So who is HE?

He isn't God almighty.....he is melchizedek....:-)

No, he is NOT God Almighty.....he is a MAN that was used and positioned in the divine act to foreshadow Christ as a type in the OT just like Joseph, Moses, Adam etc.

Without genealogy is the key here. In Israel, when someone doesn't have a genealogy, such is considered without father, without mother, having neither beginning of days (birth) nor end of life (death). But was made LIKE the son of God, Jesus Christ. He is NOT Jesus Christ also but a type of Christ as he foreshadows Christ in the sense of being a Priest and King at the same time. In Israel, no king is priest and no priest is king at the same time but this MAN was. But Jesus in his human form or nature has genealogy, has beginning of days (birth record) and also record of death. The reference to "but made like the son of God" is to the eternity of Christ because in Christ eternal nature, Christ doesn't have beginning nor end of life.

Also, Melchizedek in Hebrews 7 was used by the writer in two ways namely:

1. The Historic Melchizedek and

2. The Prophetic Melchizedek

Goshen360: No, he is NOT God Almighty.....he is a MAN that was used and positioned in the divine act to foreshadow Christ as a type in the OT just like Joseph, Moses, Adam etc.

beautiful.

Goshen, do you see how sweet teaching the truth is?

Good job.

The father mother issue is with regard to his priesthood, be a priest not by heridetery, from father to son just like christ, a direct appointment by God.

Handshake guy!

Did Bible says he is God Almighty? If bible didnt say so then he is not

Brother.....haven't I been teaching the truth? Just because we disagree on "some" issues doesn't mean we both lie. It means we both presented the evidence of a subject based on our knowledge which is progressive; for the scripture says we know in part. We should learn to listen to one another. You are welcome my brother.

Goshen my bro.......well don jare.....

...but bible called him king of salem ie peace and called christ prince of peace, then christ said god is his father...and i ask is a prince not d son of a king? If yes, could it be dt melchizedek is a mystery?

He is NOT a mystery. He was divinely set apart to foreshadow Christ as a type just like First Adam was also a type and Eve was a type of the church. He was the first King and Priest and this was fulfilled in Christ. Believers are also King and Priest taking after Christ. Like I said earlier, Melchizedek was used as a type in two different ways by the writer of Hebrews,

Goshen360: Also, Melchizedek in Hebrews 7 was used by the writer in two ways namely:

1. The Historic Melchizedek and

2. The Prophetic Melchizedek

You are a great brother also. Keep following peace with all men and holliness without which no man shall see God.

as much as i agree with your, i had thought that the knowing in part was as per the part knowledge that was given to different apostle that they have used to pened down in the individual scriptures that made up the bible.

But it becomes "whole" when all their writings are brought together.

For me, all i need to do is allow scripture to interpret and my work is done since the "whole" of the scriptures is here.
Peace.
