In Heb 7:3 It reads without father , without mother , without genealogy , having neither beginning of DAYS nor end of life , but made like the the

SON of God remains a priest continually !!

His name is Melchisedek !!

How can that BE // What say you ?

And there is an answer !!

Anyone trying to unwound some of the books of JOB , Proverbs , and others will make you cry !!

And I have 3 books , filled with Figures of SPEECH !!

In Proverbs 25:24 reads , It is better to DWELL in the corner of the roof top , than with a BRAWLING woman in

a WIDE HOUSE .

Melchizedek was without genealogy, thus, considered his own person—no record of a mother nor a father. Nobody knew where he was descended from, no record of birth, nor, as far as we know historically, record of death.

Some are satisfied with that answer alone, and it is good enough for me, but others want to claim that he was not only a "type" of Christ in the above ways, and as described so in Scripture, and a precedent for Aaron's priesthood, but that he was actually God (or variously, Christ the Son of God) in physical form, a Theophany. I think that last is a little more than is warranted, but...

The Mystery of Melchizadek. Sounds like a good name for a book, probably already taken.

And I believe that there can not be four God's and I believe Melchizedek IS Christ >

and is first mentioned in Gen 14:18 , Psa 110:4 , Heb 7:1 and Heb 5:8-10

And Christ rule from King David Throne during Millennial Kingdom

And the 12 apostles rule as kings and priests , Rev 1:6

And Israel will also have Gentiles in the Millennial kingdom

It refers to the Biblical record regarding Melchisedek, where we do not find the above.

I understand the same. The writer of Psalms knew of no recorded record of Melchisedek's history unlike other important figures who did have such records e.g. Matthew has the complete genealogy of Jesus.
Matthew 1:1​
(1) The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. ...​
Matthew 1:16-17​
(16) And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.​
(17) So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.​

"Made like" but not literally the same as...
And Heb 7:3 say :

# 1 MADE LIKE / APHOMOIOO , is in the Greek , PERFECT TENSE , it nvolves the PAST and tne PRESENT , in the

Passive Voice , is a Partciple Tense , is a Nominative Case , in the Singular , and means there was ONLY ONE MADE .

# 2 UNTO THE / HO , is a DEFINITE ARTICILE , in the DATIVE CASE , in the Slignular

# 3 SON / HUIOS , in the ATIVE CASE , in the Signular

# 4 OF GOD / THEOS , in the DATIVE CASE , in the Singular

# 5 ABIDETH / MENO , in the Greek Persent Tense , ACTIVE VOICE , in the Idicative Mood , I like this one .

all better believe IT .

# 6 A PRIEST / HIEREUS , in the NOMINATIVE CASE , in the SINGULAR

# 7 CONTINUALLY / DIENEKES , in the ACCUSATIVE CASE , in the , in the SIGNGULAR , n the NEUTER ..

And you can google all TENSES and CASES !

And you say , MADE like , but NOT literally the same as ....

And made like , is in the Greek Perfect Tense , which nvolves the Past and the Present : that is result is based on

a past act .

LOOKING at G871 it says :

#1 TO cause a model to pass an image

# 2 TO express it self in it

# 3 To produce a Facsimile

# 4 To be made like

# 5 to render similar

And just asking , do you STRONGS GREEK CONCORDNCE ??

That's what she said. That's what a Christophany is ^

We know Christ acted and spoke in the O.T. AS GOD and spoke through the prophets for example, 1 Peter 1:10-11

God also met with people on the mount, they saw Him, and maybe even had chow with God:

Exodus
9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

I think Paul is most likely using the information as a rhetorical device intended to make a point. That Jesus priestly status (High Priest)is not dependant on earthly succession, like the Levites. But that He is greater than.

But isn't a Christophany pre-incarnate appearance of Christ? So where is the need for four Persons in the Trinity (I don't think anybody was suggesting multiple Gods)?
