Psalm 110:4 The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 5:6 And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 6:20 where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 7:1-3 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, / and Abraham apportioned to him a tenth of everything.

Hebrews 7:28 For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever. Hebrews 8:1 The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, Hebrews 10:12-14 But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God. / Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet, / because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified. Matthew 22:43-45 Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says: / ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’ / So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?” Romans 4:11-12 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them. / And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised. Romans 4:16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. Galatians 3:7-9 Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham. / The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” / So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

Christ Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchizedek;11. and so far more excellent than the priests of Aaron's order. But Melchizedek The figure of Melchizedek is both mysterious and significant in biblical theology. His name, meaning "king of righteousness" in Hebrew, sets a precedent for understanding his role as a type of Christ. Melchizedek appears in Genesis 14 as the king of Salem and priest of God Most High, a dual role that prefigures the eternal priesthood of Jesus. His sudden appearance and lack of genealogy emphasize his unique priesthood, which is not based on hereditary lines but on divine appointment. who did not trace his descent from Levi collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises Received tithes.--Rather, hath taken tithes of Abraham, and hath blessed him that hath the promises. In Melchizedek we see a man who, though no law gave him pre-eminence, takes tithes of Abraham, and therefore appears in Scripture as holding a position of inherent and acknowledged superiority. This superiority is not dwelt upon, for the same thought will be presented still more strikingly in connection with the blessing (Hebrews 7:8). "Hath taken tithes," "hath blessed:" here, as in many other passages, the writer refers to facts recorded in Scripture not as belonging to the past, but as they now stand before us in the unchanging and ever present word of God.
