Who is Melchizedek?
Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of the most high God, who brought out bread and wine and blessed Abram, receiving from him a tithe of everything (Genesis 14:18). He becomes a lasting figure of priesthood when the LORD swears of the coming king, "Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek" (Psalms 110:4).
