This question has perplexed generations for thousands of years. Some say Melchisedec was a figurative priesthood, some say he was an actual person, and others say He wasn’t real, just a myth.
Brother Branham closes the meetings at Parkview Middle School with THE ANSWER that leaves us no doubt who this Person is.
Now, if He can by that same Word create something that isn’t there, how much more will This hold fast at the Day of Judgment!
Not a order; but a Person! So He was not just a priesthood order, neither was He a myth. He was a Person.
The whole Bible is the revelation of God. The whole Church is built upon the revelation of God. There is no other way to know God, only by revelation.
And It’s been hid since the foundation of the world, and Its sevenfold mystery. And God promised in this day, at the age of this Laodicean church, He would take the mask off the whole thing and we could see It. What a glorious thing!
This then is the state He was in when He met Abraham, was called Melchisedec. He was in the form of theophany.
That proves the predestination of God. See? You can’t be the Word unless you’re a thought. You had to be in the thinking, first.
When this body receives the Spirit of God, the immortal Life inside of you, it throws this body in subjection to God.
And then when you become subject to that Spirit, it throws your whole being subject to that Spirit. And that Spirit is nothing in the world but this Seed Word made manifest, or quickened, hallelujah, made alive.
And, then, when this robe of flesh is dropped, there is a natural body, theophany, a body not made with hands, neither born of a woman, that we go to.
That’s the way it is with the Gospel, or the Word, or the Power of Jesus Christ. When a man has been predestinated to Eternal Life, he hears that true ring, scream of God, nothing can keep him from It.
“Son, jump! You’re an eagle. Come up here where I am.”
But Melchisedec, after His child Abraham had won the victory, Melchisedec met him and gave him wine and bread; showing that after this earthly battle is over, we will meet Him in the heavens and take the communion again. It’ll be the Wedding Supper.
Who is this Melchisedec but God!
The redeem is something...To redeem anything, is, “bring it back to its original place.” Hallelujah! So it’s only the predestinated will be brought back, because the others didn’t come from There. See, “bring back!”
We know when we walk into the Presence of God, something in us tells us that we come from somewhere, and we’re going back again by that Power that’s pulling us.
Then we find out, the Jews, some of them received Him. Some believed it; some didn’t. Why didn’t they believe it? They was not ordained to Life. They wasn’t part of that attribute.
Now it’s promised that in these last days, that, this same God, this same Christ, would come back here and reveal Hisself as Son of man.
That Melchisedec was flesh, represented Himself in a human body; and then later He was made flesh. And now, tonight, He is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. Do you believe it?
