- Melchizedek is one of the most intriguing characters in the Bible, first introduced in the story of Abraham. He’s a mysterious priest king who rules a city that will later be called Jerusalem, and he gives God’s blessing to Abraham. In this video, we’ll explore how Melchizedek fits into the larger biblical theme of the coming royal priest.

The Heavens Declare the Glory of God; The Skies proclaim the Work of His Hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; Night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not Heard.
Awesome reason to continue to tithe in YESHUA OUR MESSIAH NAME

i love how God works in my quiet time i was literally studying hebrews 7 last night and now we have this resource about melchizedek :0
Yes!!! Me too! I was reading Hebrew 7 this morning and God lead me to this video. He is amazing 💓
Same here!! Was a little confused ytd in chapter 7, thank you Bibleproject!
The Holy Spirit leads you in all truth..
Yesterday i was reading the bible and I literally stop to read in Hebrew 7, and saved that to read it today and for the first time..and now youtube recommend me this video and see this comment.. that's weird.
I was reading in genesis when Abraham saves lot and meets Melchizedek.
"The old is in the new revealed, the new is in the old concealed"
-Augustine
All of scripture indeed points to Jesus
Something that still amazes me is how the lineage from Adam to Noah, when you say what their names mean in hebrew in a sentence, spells out a prophecy about God's death bringing rest for the afflicted. Jesus' coming was hidden in plain sight, from the very beginning.
God promised Adam and eve in the garden of Eden to restore what has been lost and to send a saviour for sacrifice and to defeat death.
Yeah but Jesus is a fictional character tho. ...prove me wrong 🤷♂️
@@ImStayGold42
He already proved you wrong when He literally came down here, lol
Not much else to say. You should study history.
@@ImStayGold42 you'd rather believe in a theory of evolution and how man came from monkeys than to put your trust in the King of Kings and Lords of Lords. Your soul is blind and you need to put your faith in Jesus.
Mind blowing. Everything really points to Jesus.
Existence In a Nutshell
no it really doesn’t
@@ChalfantMT
Was there ever another King and Priest? How come in Hebrews it shows you how Jesus is greater then Moses, Angels, and many things but yet suggests He is equal to Melchizedek? Obviously this is speaking of a pre flesh Christ.
@@jbcfamily4802 the Romans injected their propaganda into creating “christianity.”
Pure 1st millennium politics
{Sorry, but it’s entirely likely that “jesus” (aka zeus) never existed. Hey, but many of the “teachings” are still relevant. Love everybody, ama-right}
@@ChalfantMT
Lol bro I thought you were a Jesus worshipping citizen of Heaven who wanted to have a fun non salvation issue. Didn't expect a full blown God hater.. My bad
This could not have come at a better time. I just got hit with bad news after bad news after bad news. Then I got this notification, and it reminded me that God is in control and he already won the victory. This helped me to keep the bad news from overwhelming me. Praises to Jesus.
i hope you continue to find rest and peace in Christ! you might’ve been hit with bad news but i thank God you have believed in the Good News! ❤️
How wonderful is our God’s timing? I notice that when I am feeling at my most distant from Him or just like I’m not on the right path--He reminds me of who He is and who I am IN Him and it’s enough to walk with Him and receive His peace for another day. Love and blessings to you brother. May the Lord comfort you and strengthen you in whatever you are going through. He is there in the midst of the fire WITH you.
His sovereignty is all about timing and it’s due to the Father’s nature of being the being who is love itself!
Another interesting thing to think about is Melchizedek’s name itself- in Hebrew his name is literally “king of righteousness” (מלכיצדק). Great video!
Wow amazing!!! I had no idea!
thus
Christ !

@@krixpop Yes
@Kevin Wakhisi
Amen !
Hebrews 7:2 "...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." The last sentence is very interesting!
I'm SO glad you guys mentioned Melchizedek. He doesn't get nearly the attention he deserves!
I can channel the Melchizedek Collective, they are consortium of beings that this character in the Bible belonged to. Channeling is a spiritual gift of the Bible and biologically built into the mechanism of most human beings who have reached a certain level of awareness. God bless!!
"I shall make you a priest forever in the manner of Melchizedek."

Melchizedek really caught my attention even though he only showed up in the Bible shortly. He is such a mystery, yet a has a meaningful contribution by blessing Abaraham and exalting the Name of God
How I wish many people would read the book of Jasher. You wouldn't need any guess works to fill for missing information. Melchizedek from the book of jasher is as clear as day. The best part is it does not contradict the Bible but supplements it. In fact book of jasher is one of the books that were left out in the making of the Bible
@@MinionG911
Jasher should of been left out. It's not inspired at all. It's like a comic book
@@eew8060 it is important for supplementing the bible nevertheless. It's even referenced in the book of Joshua
Joshua 10:13 CSB - And the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance on its enemies. Isn’t this written in the Book of Jashar? So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed its setting almost a full day.
@@MinionG911
I think its a scholarly consensus that the book of Jasher that we have today is not the same book Joshua mentions. Jasher says Melchizedek is Shem but it simply CANNOT be Shem at all. So not only is this book of Jasher a fake but it's also wrong
@@eew8060 explain how it could not be Shem?
I just love your videos. The way you break down God’s Word and having the audience to get a glimpse of what the whole chapter is about. And the animation is just amazing. Love every bit of it.
Same here very inspiring every single time
Yes this is a very important topic that has rapidly approaching implications for us.
It refers back to prophecy of a coming Kingdom where we will be made perfect. Christ commanded us to forsake sin, it will be difficult to inherit the Kingdom if one has not left sin behind.
Videos like these help me continue being Christian in times I struggle with my faith ...
GOD BLESS YOU TEAM @BIBLEPROJECT
GOD IS READY SOON!!
Reading Hebrews 7 the other day and stumbled upon the character of Melchizedek. 😊
Now I want to read Hebrews ch7. Thanks for your comments
I would like to reveal something, which I was shown by studying the Word of God. Melchezidek in Gen 14, and Gen 15, was God the Father and the Lord God, Jesus, who were One in heaven. It's God speaking through the Lord God, who is Christ, the Son.
@@ralphborroel5684 nop malchizedek isn't father or son he is Holyspirit it's clear from scriptures .
@@jey2275 , Gen 15:2, 8 proves you wrong. Abrahm calls him the Lord God.
The Lord God is the Son of God, NOT the Spirit.
@@jey2275 , John 3:8 also speaks about the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is invisible to the eye like the wind. No one can know where it blows. This is proof positive that you cannot see the Holy Spirit, therefore your reasoning that the Holy Spirit can be seen as Melchizadek cannot make sense. The Holy Spirit in the Bible is a witness, a helper, a comforter, and Sword. He speaks of Jesus Christ and doesn't ever manifest, because He moves invisible.
Melchizadek was the King of peace, which lines up with Heb 13:20 as the God of peace that raised Jesus from the dead.
The Holy Spirit person of God would not be the King of peace.
The King of peace is God.
Waiting for the continued part...of this video !!
Melchizedek doesn't give Abraham a "great feast", precisely. The passage says that he brings out "bread and wine". Who else gives people that particular combination of foods in the Bible?
Bread and wine is a phrase or saying. In those days it was common to call a dinner or a feast “bread and wine.” Also you are correct. 🙂 God bless.
@@Nex41354 it's the last supper
@@johncaleblouis hi,
Bread + wine was common in these times. This does have to refer to the last supper.
J-E-S-U-S
The Eucharistic meal instituted by Jesus at the last supper.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the all-knowing and all-powerful God of all creation. Don't trust in your own goodness to save you, put your trust in Jesus to save you. He paid the fine for all of our sins on the cross out of love. Hopefully this inspired and encouraged you today. God bless.
So I trust God. I accept Jesus as the savior and Lord and God in flesh.
But why does God have a different set of rules for non Israelites. I understand the Bible, but I still DONT KNOW WHY GOD WOULD HAVE DIFFERENT SLAVE RULES FOR NON ISRAELITES AS OPPOSED TO ISRAELITES
It’s the one thing in the Bible where I’m so confused
And I am someone who knows slavery was not what is like the American slavery that everyone knows. I understand it was more economical way back in Bible as well as voluntary, trying to provide for your family or debt.
But why would God still say you can own a non Hebrew for life? But Israelites only 6 years
So so good. Absolutely love the intense study that y’all clearly do of these stories. Even more than that, you’ve chosen to not keep them to yourself. Thanks for allowing the rest of us in on the amazing things you’re thinking through!
Amazing how perfect God’s Word truly is.
1 Peter 3:15
“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect”
Wow, beautiful!
You missed a BIGGGGG part of what makes Malchesidek so mysterious. He almost perfectly aligns with Jesus in status, name, and actions.

I love Bible project!! Sharing with my little children 🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😊🙏🏽
I love Bible Project but can't line this teaching up with my Bible. No big meal for all but bread and wine from Melchizedek to share with Abram along with a blessing. First communion. So important.
this is insanely beautiful in all angles. I wanna support this.
I thank God for your ministry! You explain things of the Bible with your images and voices I wouldn’t otherwise understand. Thank you!
Wow... beautifully explained ❤️
God bless you...
Share this with everyone...spread the Gospel.
Wow, this is amazing! I've read and heard these stories before, but never so elegantly strung together and explained. Thank you!

I love the Bible project, appreciate all the creativity and hard work that goes behind producing each episode. I hope that one day we can watch the whole Bible come to life in these animated series ❤️
Great Video, be blessed and encouraged in Jesus Christ’s Name.
I needed this video to get to my destiny! God bless your ministry team with a prophets reward!
Thank you very much Bible Projects. You have strengthened my faith through your videos..🙏🙏
The Bible project is such a blessing. It breaks down all the difficult subjects so well. Thank you!
The law of first mention of the word prophet(Abraham) and high priest and king (Melchizedek) is a foreshadow of who Jesus Christ is to us. Abrahams ONLY son Isaac sacrifice points towards the place and the death of God's beloved son. I love it that everything about the old testament points towards the salvation of man and His second coming. This is one of my favorite stories and revelations
All points to the Catholic faith as Christ’s one true mystical body. They didn’t mention the wine and bread offering which is a prefiguration of the new and eternal covenant through the Eucharist. God and man uniting as one flesh. The Bible is one big love story that ends in eternity with God
@@jackd8439 I'm sorry, but the Bible is not "one big love story" The Bible shows us the wickedness and sinful nature of mankind and what it took (the sacrifice of Jesus through the shedding of His blood) to redeem us. Yes, it is through Gods love, mercy & kindness that we are drawn to Him, but we MUST understand why Christ had to die & what we must do to inherent eternal life, because not everyone will.
@@jackd8439 The salvation of man is the greatest love story told. But you lost me at "all points to the catholic faith" My friend, if you're seeking a religion debate you're not getting it here. But if you're seeking for truth, you will only find in your personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit John 4:21-26 GB
@Potato Very interesting. Hate to break it to you but Roman Catholicism may be the greatest deception under the form of Christianity ever presented to human kind. Their doctrines defined in the Decrees and Council of Trent, Lumen Gentinum (Canons 1,3,5 and 6) clearly states they worshipping a Jesus DIFFERENT from what the bible says. Canon 6 states the Catholic people to worship and adore the wafer and bow down to it. Contrary to Jesus seated on the right hand side of God having the nature of God. (Exodus 20:4-5 & Jeremiah 1:16 & 1Corinth 10:19-20) Secondly, their central doctrine on people directly praying to, communicating with, and asking, the spirits of dead people to intercede for them with God. We only have ONE mediator between God and men and guess who that is? Definitely not Mary or any so called saint! [1Timothy 2:5-6]. Lastly but not the least, the mass considered an actual sacrifice of Jesus each time is celebrated. Re-sacrificing Him. Pagan ceremonies. [Heb 9:24-28 & 1Peter 3:18] Also labelling Mary as " immaculate" which means "without sin"? UNBIBLICAL and demonic teachings. Pray the Holy Spirit directs you and open your eyes and millions of people around the world to the truth re the unadulterated gospel of Jesus Christ. The bible is God's final authority in our life and all our actions!
Thank you so much Bible project! You are so blessed !!!
Melchizedek is a curious figure in the Bible, first introduced in the story of Abraham (Genesis ch. 14). He’s a priest king who rules in Salem, the pre-Israelite city that will later be named Jerusalem. In contrast to the kings around him, he recognizes Abraham as God’s chosen one, and he gives him the gift of a feast and God’s blessing. Abraham is so enamored with this royal priest that he gives him one-tenth of all his possessions (Gen 14:18-20). What’s this all about?
One helpful perspective is to remember that the story of Abraham is being told from the perspective of an Israelite author living centuries later, someone who knows the story of King David’s rise to a royal priesthood, and of Solomon’s sponsorship of a royal temple in Jerusalem. When David brought the tabernacle of God’s presence into the city, he dressed like the high priest (see the stories in 2 Samuel 6), and God promised to give him a royal lineage of kings that would produce a descendant who would build a temple to Yahweh that would last forever (see 2 Samuel 7). In the Psalms scroll, David reflects on God’s promise (see Psalm 2, 72) and says that this descendant will reign forever because of Melchizedek (Psalm 110). The story in Genesis 14 has been designed to anticipate the much later stories about David and God’s promise of a royal priest who would come from David’s lineage. This theme was important to Jesus, who claimed to be that anticipated royal priest (see Jesus’ discussion of Psalm 110 in Matthew 22:41-46), and this allowed Jesus’ followers to see how Melchizedek pointed forward to a future priest king (as in Hebrews chs. 7-8).

In your comment, I thought the Author of the Pentateuch was Moses, not an Israelite author who lived during David’s time? Thanks for teaching me something new on Abraham and Melchizedek in the video though!
Many scholars today think that, even though some parts of the Pentateuch could be attributed to Moses, it was a later author that put them together and edited them to form the books we now know (remember Moses’ death is described in the end of Deuteronomy). In selecting what mosaic texts would be a part of the Pentateuch and how they’d be organized, the editor could convey a message to his own generation about God’s plans for Israel (and, in this case, his plans for the Davidic line).
So is Melchizedek really Jesus? Because I was studying with my sister and Melchizedek has the same trademarks as Jesus breaking the bread giving wine... Etc...🤔
@@felipeleite8903 is there any more evidence to support this claim besides 10 verses that describe Moses’ death? Anyone could have added those verses of Moses’ death. The same goes for Joshua’s death in the book of Joshua. It’s a really interesting theory that I never thought about, but it seems more like a stretch to say the same guy who wrote Moses’ death also edited and wrote in his own parts, enough to also call himself an author of the Pentateuch
@@brandyn5024 No. But Melchizedek does foreshadow Jesus in many ways. Most notably, he is a priest of God. To Israelites their priesthood was based on inheritance from the line of Levi. Jesus was not a Levite, he was from the tribe of Judah, a descendant of the king of David. So Jesus could not be of the Levite priesthood. But there is another example. Melchizedek, which is why Jesus is called a priest in the Order of Melchizedek.
This is why scripture points Melchizedek having no lineage. His priesthood, like Jesus' is from God.
Also Levite priests were forced into retirement. Again like Melchizedek, Jesus' priesthood has no limits.
This video so incredible! Thank you for creating and sharing the word of God 🙏🏽✨

Another very intriguing video, revealing the meanings of the Biblical stories as God's inspired word.
From what I understand, Melchizedek is the last of a Canaanite priesthood, loyal to Yahweh, as the one and only monotheistic God. Over time, this priesthood had become corrupted to polytheistic worship, thus leading to them being expelled by the 12 tribes, from the Promised Land.
It would seem that Jesus is described as being like Melchizedek, a priest who is not descended from the tribe of Levi, but a High Priest nonetheless. Hebrews 7:17.
I don't think the Bible ever says that Melchizedek was the last of a Canaanite priesthood.
@@lamasabachthani2132 The story of the snake isn't stupid at all. It is symbolic. Presumably the story line assumes that before the snake was cursed it had limbs.
@@maxaplin4204
You're very correct, and as I stated in my comment, there is a 'school of thought', that there was a Canaanite priesthood, the last of whom was Melchizedek. The Canaanites became polytheistic, with Melchizedek being a loyal
remnant of monotheistic worship.
Recently, there has been uncovered in Jerusalem, what is thought to be the remains of a Canaanite 'house of worship', complete with a sacrificial altar.
@@Rockjamify
There is also a "school of thought", an ancient one, that Melchizedek was a spirit person. In the 11QMELCHIZEDEK scroll he is a presiding officer in God's heavenly court. They could have been elaborating on a possible Hebrew reading of Psalm 110 where vs 3 could be saying "You are a priest forever by my order O Melchizedek" (from James Kugel 'Bible Traditions')
I think Melchizedek as a divine person, God's high priest, is more plausible than the canaanite priest theory. Its grounded better in scripture
@@eew8060
Psalm 110, is an Oracle to the Davidic King, where the first 4 verses are prophetic in regards to Jesus the Christ. Jesus Christ is the "...eternal priest after the pattern of Melchizedek," he has become our new High Priest, interceding for us before God the Father. Hebrews 5:5-6.
The references in the Book of Hebrews, makes it clear who is being proclaimed in the Oracle of Psalm 110.
At the same time, Melchizedek was both King of Salem (Jerusalem), and a Priest of Yahweh. In his dual roles, Jesus the Christ is compared to this ancient man, since he is also Christ the King, and the new High Priest, who is not of the order of the Levites, just as Melchizedek.
You have me on the edge of my seat here...
I need more.
God bless you all ❤
Y'all got me crying in the club rn 😒 Beautifully done!
