Melchizdek brought out bread and wine when he met Abraham ( Gen. 14:18). His action was a prophetic foreshadowing of the memorials of the body and blood of Jesus in the last supper.
God had many 'manifestations' in the O.T. Melchisedec was one, the burning bush another, Jacob's wrestling partner, and many more. God later, in the N.T. manifested Himself as Jesus Christ.
I was amazed at Abrahams deep concern for the souls to be rescued.The material things were of little use other than refresh the men.It was the people who were the most important items to be rescued like unto our Lord Jesus Christs mission to recue the perishing and care for the dying.
To comment on Abrahm not receiving goods. because he was content. In this manner. Contentment with Godleness is great gain. He has been blessed by the MOST HIGH GOD. And blessed by someone that is held in high position. Melchisadec. This is enough to both of these men.

Hello Imrana In addition to my 2 part response to your question, a lot of people do not believe in paying tithes. Some have argued that it was in the Old Testament and not in the New Testament. However, tithes are mentioned in the New Testament as well. Hebrews 7 5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham Once again Melchisedec is not Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh, 1 Timothy 3 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory .

Part 2 of 2 Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh. Melchisedec was a type of shadow of Jesus in that Abraham paid tithes unto him. Melchisedec was not Jesus but represented Jesus as both king and priest. We pay tithes and offering to Jesus Christ, who is God manifested in the flesh. We pay a tenth part of every dollar we earn. This is to say one dime out of every dollar. Please read over up under John Chapter 1 my response to Linton concerning paying tithes and offering. Abraham was a type and shadow of us today. He is an example on how we are to pay tithes today. Then you read over in Malachi 3 6 thru 12. So whoever told you that Melchisedec was Jesus Christ is very much incorrect. I hope this answers your question.

Part 1 of 2 Hello Imrana No, Melchisedec is not Jesus Christ. One of the significance of the Melchisedec story is that Abraham paid tithes to him as king of Salem. Melchisedec was also the priest of the most high God. Remember God did have priest. Just like he has ministers and other to teach and carry his word to all. The Levites carried the Word of God. Hebrews 7 1 2 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace
Never you denied your subordinates their rights and privileges. Abraham allowed his men to have their "portion " despite his determination not to take anything from King of Sodom. Again, materialism must give way for spiritualism. If you wants to serve God, you must deny yourself of many things.
One of the greatest lessons i learnt from the life of Abraham in this Chapter is 'perfect Christian love '. Even though his nephew, Lot was greedy and ungrateful by choosing first before his benefactor, very few people would have done what Abraham did afterwards when Lot fell into trouble and was captured. At the personal expense and risk to his own life, Abraham went to war on behalf of Lot to rescue him. No wonder the Bible says 'faith works by love ' Galatians 5 6 , and no wonder Abraham was called the father of faith. True faith indeed works by love. It was the same kind of love that Jesus disclosed in Matthew 5 48 'Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. ' As Christians, we must never repay evil with evil but repay evil with good. This is possible as we yield totally to God on a daily basis and are consecrated to God continually. I wonder the kind of great revival that would happen in our local bodies of Christ if we start practising this kind of divine love Abraham exhibited towards his nephew Lot.
AS A CHRISTIAN, IS NOT EVERY GIFT THAT WE HAVE TO ACCEPT. WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE FOOT STEP OF OUR PAPA ABRAHAM. GENESIS 14:23

According to Exodus 6:3, the name of Lord "Jehovah" was not known to Abraham.So, Abraham, I believe, might have used the name "Most High God", possessor of heaven and earth, as said by Melchizedek because "Jehovah" the Lord is the "Son of man" who is the creator and care taker of human race and God of Israel, came out of "El,Elohim", the Most High God.
Why are these people born from Adam and Eve not the first people if they were the only inhabitants of earth being the that they are the first descendants why do they have city's and civilization
@Rita, Abraham did not go to Sodom to take away their possessions, He went to free his nephew from a sinful and abominable land. Abraham did not want anyone to say that he did not trust God to provide for him.
Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Lord Jesus Christ of the New Testament. The bible says Jesus thought it not robbery to equal with God. Father, Son and the Holy Spirit is three different offices or dispensation in which God works in or through. God above us the logos or Pillar of fire, God with us Jesus in the body to die for us and God in us the baptism of the Holy Spirit to give us power to live Christ like Life. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. God Bless you.
You know that God sent his only one son to die for us to be justified and he did that so that we would have a choice to decide, if we want to be a Christian or be like the devil. We wouldn't have choice did he not send his son. Thank you, Jesus. Praise God! Bless his holy name!
Melchizedek is God!!! In the book of Hebrews 7:3, Paul says without father, without mother, without descent nor beginning of days nor end of life... Now if this Melchizedek is without beginning of days or end of life, then He still exists today. Only God (ELOHIM) has eternal life. There cannot be two God(s) existing together. Why? The bible says, behold Israel the Lord your God is one. God bless.
If you take the linage of Noah and look at their age and the age they had children and add this together...Shem (Noah's oldest son) lives 500 years after the flood and thus into 9 plus generations. Shem is also the linage of Abram. As a thought Melchizedek could be Shem.
