ONE of the mysteries of the Bible is the identity of Melchisedec. Who is he? We read, in Hebrews 6:19-20, that Jesus Christ, after His resurrection, was High Priest "after the order of Melchisedec," Or, in the plainer English of the Moffatt translation, "with the rank of" — equal status with, Melchisedec. First, Melchisedec was God's Priest. During a war between a number of ancient city — states, Abraham's nephew, Lot, had been captured and he and his family and goods carried off. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
