	Vincent's NT Word Studies - Hebrews 7
		Melchisedec is not shown to be an eternal high priest because his death-record is lost; nor to be properly likened unto the Son of God because there is no notice of his birth and parentage.
		Melchisedec, who has no part in the Levitical genealogy, and therefore no legal right to exact tithes, took tithes from the patriarch himself.
		Melchisedec accepted the position accorded to him by Abraham's gift of tithes by bestowing on Abraham his blessing, and Abraham recognized his superiority by accepting his blessing.

		Melchisedec was, in his priesthood, "made like" Christ, as far as the imperfect type could represent the lineaments of the perfect archetype.
		Melchisedec was the highest and last representative of the Noahic covenant, as Christ was the highest and ever enduring representative of the Abrahamic.
		THOLUCK remarks, "Melchisedec remains in so far as the type remains in the antitype, in so far as his priesthood remains in Christ." The father and mother of Melchisedec, as also his children, are not descended from Levi, as the Levitical priests (Hebrews 7:6) were required to be, and are not even mentioned by Moses.

	Who was Melchizedek? - Two Views
		Since they were descendants of Abraham and recipients of the oracles of God in which Melchisedec is mentioned, they had the tradition of their fathers' teaching concerning him passed down from generation to generation, and thus had a better chance of understanding his identity than we, with our western mentality, 2000 years later do.
		Melchisedec was a priest of the Most High God all his earthly life, and Jesus is a priest of the Most High God all His eternal life.
		Melchisedec seems to be an ordinary man who served as a priest and king over Salem for the duration of his life.

	Hebrews - Chapter 7 - Matthew Henry Complete Commentary on StudyLight.org
		From Melchisedec's blessing of Abraham, who had the promises; and, without contradiction, the less is blessed of the greater, Hebrews 7:6,7.
		(2.) Melchisedec's greater honour--in that it was his place and privilege to bless Abraham; and it is an uncontested maxim that the less is blessed of the greater, Hebrews 7:7.
		Observe the necessity there was of raising up another priest, after the order of Melchisedec and not after the order of Aaron, by whom that perfection should come which could not come by the Levitical priesthood, which therefore must be changed, and the whole economy with it, Hebrews 7:11,12, &c.

	Blue Letter Bible - Commentaries
		THOLUCK remarks, "Melchisedec remains in so far as the type remains in the antitype, in so far as his priesthood remains in Christ." The father and mother of Melchisedec, as also his children, are not descended from Levi, as the Levitical priests (Hbr 7:6) were required to be, and are not even mentioned by Moses.
		The principle that the blesser is superior to him whom he blesses, holds good only in a blessing given with divine authority; not merely a prayerful wish, but one that is divinely efficient in working its purport, as that of the patriarchs on their children: so Christ's blessing, Luk 24:51 Act 3:26.
		Melchisedec's death not being recorded, is expressed by the positive term "liveth," for the sake of bringing into prominence the antitype, Christ, of whom alone it is strictly and perfectly true, "that He liveth."

	Life-Study of Hebrews, pp. 306-309, by Witness Lee
		Melchisedec did not come to Abraham to receive tithes from him, but to minister to him the bread and wine.
		Although Melchisedec was a king, he did not come as a king but as the priest of the Most High God, coming to Abraham with bread and wine.
		Melchisedec's coming to minister the bread and wine to Abraham, the father of the called race, signified Christ's coming to minister Himself as the processed God into us.

	Hebrews - chapter 7
		1, 2 Melchisedec was both King and a High Priest to whom Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils gained in warfare.
		Melchisedec was greater than Abraham, because the latter gave 'spoils' (verses 2-10) to the former, who also blessed Abraham (verses 1, 6) thereby confirming the former's superiority.
		Thus the Levitical priesthood was inferior to that of Melchisedec.

	JFB Commentary (xi.xix.viii)
		Tholuck remarks, "Melchisedec remains in so far as the type remains in the antitype, in so far as his priesthood remains in Christ." The father and mother of Melchisedec, as also his children, are not descended from Levi, as the Levitical priests (Heb 7:6) were required to be, and are not even mentioned by Moses.

		The "order" cannot mean a series of priests, for Melchisedec neither received his priesthood from, nor transmitted it to, any other mere man; it must mean "answering to the office of Melchisedec." Christ's priesthood is similar to Melchisedec's in that it is "for ever" (Heb 7:16, 17).

	After the Order of Melchisedec
		Melchisedec was both a king and a priest, and from God’s standpoint a very highly honored priest.
		Salem means ‘peace,’ so Melchisedec was ‘King of peace.’ What a clearly defined type Melchisedec was, therefore, of the one concerning whom the Prophet Isaiah wrote that “of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end.”—Isa.
		The evident thought of this text is that Melchisedec was without father or mother in the priesthood—he did not inherit the office from his parents.

	Hebrews 7:1-7:28
		So Melchisedec represents the King of Righteousness since that’s the meaning of his name and he represents the King of Peace because that’s the city over which he rules.
		In other words, when Abraham paid tithe to Melchisedec who was the priest of the Most High God, he was saying, “The One you represent, the One most high, has the right of ownership over everything that I have.” Please remember that without God, Abraham could never have won the victory.
		Melchisedec was a priest before the law was given.

	On Melchisedec
		Melchisedec is described in the Bible as the “King of Righteousness, King of Salem, which is King of Peace.” Christ is also “King of Righteousness.” He is the “Prince of Peace”, mentioned in Isaiah 9:6.
		Some say that Melchisedec was Shem, survivor of the flood and the oldest man on earth, a priest during the Patriarchal Age.
		Melchisedec could not have been Shem because his father was Noah, and both his ancestors and offspring are recorded in the Bible (Genesis 5 & 10).

		Melchisedec was not Christ, but the voice of God in the world, the representative of the Father.' John 14:17,26 and 16:13-15 tell us who represents the Father in the earth.
		The type Melchisedec met antitype in the Son of God at His incarnation, and that office ended with the Son of God being the offerer and the offering or both, priest and sacrifice.
		If the Son of God was already a priest after the order of Melchisedec from the time He was begotten, then He would not have had to be raised after the order of Melchisedec..

	Presidency and Priesthood by William H. Kelley
		From the evidences cited it will scarcely be questioned that the Melchisedec and Aaronic priesthoods, one or both, were recognized authorities by which the people of God rendered an acceptable service during the times of the patriarchs, the law, and the prophets, although at times known by other appellations.
		Hence it is direct proof that the Melchisedec priesthood is a necessary authority in preaching and administering the gospel system; for Christ did not administer the "rites and ceremonies" of the law, but came "preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God." (Mark i.
		He was a high priest after the order of Melchisedec, as has been shown, and it is logical to conclude that he ordained the twelve apostles to offices in that priesthood which he held, as they were to preach and administer the same gospel.

	Jesus, The Great High Priest
		The order of Melchisedec is introduced by the apostle to differentiate between the sacrificing types of the Aaronic priesthood, with that of the grander and more glorious nature of the Melchisedec priesthood.
		Melchisedec, whose name means ‘King of Righteousness’, was the powerful king of the ancient city of Salem—which means ‘peace’—as well as a priest of the Most High God.
		Melchisedec was king and priest at the same time, which reflects on the future glory of our Lord in the position of power and authority.

		The mosaics of the apse and the lateral walls are better than those of the epoch of Theodoric, although not equal to those of the period of the empire.
		Other representations are of Abraham extending hospitality to the three angels; the sacrifice of Isaac; the sacrifice of Abel; the Eucharistic Sacrifice (table with bread and wine), and the sacrifice of Melchisedec (these have a dogmatic value); there are also representatives of Moses, of the prophets, of the Apostles, and of other saints.
		Among the ancient sarcophagi, a notable one is that of the Exarch Isaac (641), in the Sancta Sanctorum, which must be a work of the fifth century, with representations of Daniel, of the adoration of the Magi, and of the resurrection of Lazarus.

	Melchisedec & Melchisedec Priesthood
		It was not Melchisedec who was “without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life;” but the Priesthood which he held that “abideth a priest continually.” The Melchisedec Priesthood is not passed by lineage; but, is called of God through the Spirit of prophesy.
		The power of the Melchisedec Priesthood is to administer the ordinances of the gospel with divine authority; and to have those ordinances recorded in heaven.
		The Melchisedec Priesthood was given to Adam in the first dispensation of the gospel.

	CHURCH FATHERS: Homily 13 on Hebrews (Chrysostom)
		He had shown that Melchisedec was greatly superior both to Levi and to Abraham, being to them in the rank of the priests.
		For if Christ had been "after the order of Melchisedec" according to the flesh, and then afterwards the law had been introduced, and all that pertained to Aaron, one might reasonably say that the latter as being more perfect, annulled the former, seeing that it had come in after it.
		He had said that [He was] "after the order of Melchisedec," implying that the [priesthood] "after the order of Melchisedec" is superior: for [he was] far superior.

		The priesthood of the Melchisedec order must be understood before we can see a more excellent ministry.
		But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
		As we look into the ministry of Melchisedec, which we are calling the More Excellent Ministry, we can see the greatest expression of love and a love that never fails.

	Melchisedec
		Now, up comes the patron saint of the Masons and Mormons, good old "Melchisedec," who is as hard to locate as a whisper in a hurricane unless you pretend that half of what you are about to read doesn't actually mean what it says.
		Melchisedec could be left as he stands, just some unknown character that pops up out of nowhere and vanishes, but considering the fact that the author devotes twenty verses to him and less than ten to David and less than five to Abel, we should look for more than an anonymous pagan priest.
		And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similtude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

	The High Priesthood of Jesus
		Melchisedec in his priesthood was similar to Jesus and his High Priesthood in that it was not documented and did not follow an established protocol such as was the case regarding the priestly order of Aaron.
		Notwithstanding, Melchisedec was not evidently subject to the same restraints as the order of Aaron.
		The fact of the "endless" nature of the priesthood of Melchisedec does not mean he remains on earth today, but simply that his priesthood is continued and consummated in the High Priesthood of Jesus.

	After The Order Of Melchisedec
		This fact is strikingly typified in the priesthood of Melchisedec, whose lineage is not recorded, and thus is typified the endless life of Christ.
		In this type the work of sacrifice is not shown, as he represents the Christ glorified and reigning after the work of sacrifice has been completed, and the divine nature fully perfected.
		7, this Melchisedec is declared to be greater than Abraham, thus showing that the divine Christ will be greater, and therefore able to bless the "friends of God" on the human plane.

	Melchesidec
		Without getting tied up in the conjecture of men's thinking about Melchisedec it is best to recognize that as far as the record of Scripture goes, Melchisedec shows up ministering to Abraham and then disappears.
		Also, in verses of the Bible, Melchisedec is without father and mother, having no recorded genealogy.
		The importance that Scripture places on Melchisedec is not upon his person, but upon his type of priesthood.

	The Order of Melchisedec
		Melchisedec was "without father, without mother, and without descent; having neither beginning of days, nor end of life." He was the eternal God and Father of Jesus the Son Who had both Father and (as is supposed) mother; a time He began, and a time He died and rose again.
		When Melchisedec met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and before the destruction of Sodom, He was a created Man. But as God is Adam's only Savior and Redeemer and His own Law stipulated that only a near kinsman could qualify, He had to be born of a woman.
		The allusion to Melchisedec in verse 4 carries our view beyond the Aaronic and Levitical priesthoods, back beyond the history of Israel itself to the days of Abraham, and God's unconditional promise in which the Christian Church of the firstborn are joint-heirs with Christ.

	The authenticity of Christ's ministry
		The Hebrew believers were to understand that the priesthood of Christ was better than the system they were tempted to return to and that, even though a long time had passed, He was still busy working for their salvation in the temple in heaven.
		The connection with Melchisedec was to show that Christ, although different from the earthly priests, and not in the lineage of Aaron, was still their high priest.
		So here, Christ, who was like Melchisedec, had a priesthood greater than that of Aaron he0506.
