The True Identity Of Melchizedek The King Of Salem As Revealed In The King James Bible
The righteous “king of Salem” who is presented in mystery, Melchizedek, will one day rule openly as the King of all the Earth for a thousand literal, actual years from Jerusalem.
“And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.” Genesis 14:18-20 (KJV)
For some reason, over my years in Baptist churches, whenever you brought up the subject of who Melchizedek might be, it always seem to upset people. Most pastors I knew would shy away from the topic because it might cause “controversy”. (oh no, not that!). And come to think of it, I cannot recall a single sermon devoted to who Melchizedek might be.
So I thought it might be both fun and edifying if today we opened the pages of God’s preserved word, the King James Bible, to see if perhaps the LORD might talk to my Lord, and be pleased to reveal to us the true identity of the mysterious Melchizedek. With that, I have already given you Clue #1 as to who Melchizedek is.
The Mysterious King of Salem and Abraham meet
We first meet Melchizedek in the book of Genesis at something called the Battle of the Kings. This where Lot was captured and his uncle Abram (God had not yet changed his name) goes to get him back. I love this passage because you get to see the fire in Abraham, mounting up on horses and calling his army of servant-soldiers together and they go and bring Lot back by military might. This is where things really get interesting.
As Abraham returns from rescuing the wayward Lot, he is met primarily by two kings. First, the king of Sodom, where we get the words sodomite and sodomy from, greet Abraham, and also someone named Melchizedek, who is the king of Salem.
Abraham wants nothing to do with the king of Sodom, and gives him a fairly harsh rebuke. But shockingly, Abraham, upon meeting Melchizedek, pays him tithes of all he had. For further light on this, the story goes into detail in the book of Hebrews, as we read here:
“For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.” Hebrews 7:1-4 (KJV)
As you read the description of Melchisedec (spelling in Hebrews is different because it’s written in Greek), who does this man sound like to you? He has no mother, no father, no ‘beginning of days’ and he is made like unto the ‘Son of God’, Jesus Christ. Sure sounds like Hebrews is describing Jesus to me, right? Well, hold on now. Not so fast.
Hebrews says that Melchisedec is “like unto” the Son of God, it does not say he is the Son of God. For this reason, a lot of pastors I think shy away from preaching about Melchisedec/Melchizedek because, even though he looks a lot like Jesus, and Abram/Abraham pays him tithes like he would pay unto God, the Bible does not expressly say that Melchizedek actually is Jesus Christ. Right?
Boy oh boy, if only there was a verse or two or three, or seven, that plainly said Melchizedek and Jesus Christ were one and the same. Oh wait! (insert sound of screeching brakes here), what about Psalm 110?
Psalm 110, though only 7 verses long, is a marvelously mind-blowing passage for all the scripture it packs into it.
There is so much Bible action happening here, almost don’t know where to start first. So let’s start with verse 1. My King James Bible says that Psalm 11o is a ‘Psalm of David’, so we know who wrote it. It would behoove you to also recall as we start that when Jesus returns at the Second Coming with us on horseback, the Bible says He sits on the ‘throne of David’.
“[[A Psalm of David.]] The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” Psalm 110:1 (KJV)
In verse 1, we see the fully-capitalized Name of LORD that denotes God the Father, and the capital-L Name of Lord, which denotes God the Son, Jesus Christ. They are talking with each other and having a conversation related to the Battle of Armageddon at the Second Coming.
“The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.” Psalm 110:2,3 (KJV)
For you Bible believers who are ‘rightly dividing’ on a regular basis, this immediately brings to mind the following sister passages connecting this to Jesus Christ.
“The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.” Joel 3:16 (KJV)
“And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.” Amos 1:2 (KJV)
Connecting all these passages proves that it is God the Father and God the Son conversing in Psalm 110, and it also shows you that God the Father and God the Son are one in the same. Both Joel and Amos prophesy regarding the Second Coming, and both refer to Jesus as LORD, a term for God the Father. Blissful harmony.
But what about Melchizedek? Glad you asked. Back to Psalm 110 where we pick up the action here:
“The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.” Psalm 110:4 (KJV)
Here we have God the Father, talking to His Son Jesus, and saying that He Jesus is a high priest “for ever” after the order of Melchizedek. So are we to understand that Jesus is just a high priest in this mysterious priestly line? No, we are not. After all, Jesus came first:
“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they bet hrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” Colossians 1:15-17 (KJV)
Let’s pause for a moment and remember where we started. Psalm 110 show God the Father discussing the Battle of Armageddon with God the Son, and it is recorded by the king of Israel, David. Let us also remind ourselves how David and Jesus, two kings, are connected in the Millennial Kingdom.
“And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.” Isaiah 16:5 (KJV)
“And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” Luke 1:31-33 (KJV)
The throne that Jesus Christ will rule from during the earthly Millennial Kingdom is called the ‘throne of David’. David is a man after ‘God’s own heart’. Jesus will rule the world in righteousness as David ruled Israel.
Psalm 110 gives of a complete picture of God the Father sending God the Son, Jesus, to rule the Earth from the throne of David. David is a witness to this conversation as he writes Psalm 110, prophesying that one Day Jesus, his Lord, will rule from his own throne.
Melchizedek is none other than Jesus Christ, and the “order of Melchizedek” is a holy lineage that connects David and Jesus, and shows us a direct pathway that starts in judgment and war in Genesis 14, and ends in judgment and war in Revelation 19.
Still not convinced? Let’s let Jesus have the last word:
“And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David? For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.” Mark 12:35-37 (KJV)
Jesus Christ sits on the right hand of God right now, and the Day where His enemies are made “his footstool” is the Battle of Armageddon at the Second Coming. And the throne that Jesus is given is the throne of David. And the righteous “king of Salem” who is presented in mystery, Melchizedek, will then rule openly as the King of all the Earth for a thousand literal, actual years from Jerusalem. The day that the King of Peace actually brings peace to the City of Peace, on David’s throne. Complete harmony.
We hope this study is a blessing to you, keep looking up!

Interesting argument. The Word which became flesh, then incarnated as Melchizedek (assuming Melchizedek was flesh) before incarnating as Jesus. This member of the Godhead would then be composed of more than one earthly person. I’m not sure I believe that, though I’m also not sure there is anything that precludes that possibility. I’ve heard speculation that Mel was one of Noah’s surviving sons. And perhaps Mel was the antithesis of Nimrod. Mel may have been the chief purveyor of the knowledge and ways of God long before Israel, and in defiance to Nimrod and his satanic world order.
Geoffrey, very good article and post. And I had always thought that Melchizedek was Jesus Christ. But, I am a little confused by you saying that Jesus the Son of God and the Father are one in the same. Isn’t it true that there are three persons in the trinity or Godhead but one God in essence? And maybe you meant that. But anyway I enjoyed your article very much and thank you.
As any true Christian knows, there is but one true God. With that in mind we understand that it is Yahweh who has no beginning and no end, He being the alpha and omega. We realize that the one true God, Yahweh Elohim, the Eternal God and Creator of the heavens and earth is the only one that this unique description applies to. We also know that God’s son, Jesus Christ or more accurately Yeshua Christ was a flesh and blood human being before his resurrection to spirit. He clearly inherited Godly revelation and thinking, nevertheless he had both a physical beginning at human inception, and likewise an end when he was maliciously beaten and crucified to death on a torture stake.
In Hebrews 7:2-3 where scripture says “To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually”we are given hard evidence which suggests this author is way off base. Melchizedek cannot possibly be God’s son Jesus Christ, He was instead the physical manifestation of God himself.
Lets analyze a bit closer what is actually being said;
Abraham gave tithes to Melchizedek. Who exactly do we Christians give tithes to? Although we most certainly do so through His Church, we give our tithes to God, do we not?
Scripture refers to Jesus as the “Prince of Peace” Wouldn’t that make God the Father, or Yahweh both the King of righteousness and the “King of Peace?”
The truth according to scripture is that God manifest as Melchizedek setting divine example, an example that accurately depicted the coming of the messiah Jesus Christ and his role in God’s plan to reside with man. This perfected image which God had provided was made like or in the image of the Son of God who was prophesied to come. Jesus would later become our eternal high priest in the order of, or following the example set by the physical manifestation of Melchizedek. Christ, the unblemished Lamb of God would after being sacrificed abideth as priest continually becoming man’s ongoing advocate before God the Father for the sake of repentance. This would effectively end the prior Levitical System and all it’s cumbersome requirements.
So there you have it folks, Melchizedek was a manifestation of God Yahweh. The scriptural evidence couldn’t be any clearer on the subject.

jdp…relating to genealogy can only refer to mankind, God. Christ, and the Holy Spirit, have no genealogy as we know it, if there is a spiritual genealogy we sum it up this way, GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE HOLY SPIRIT KNOWS THE MIND OF GOD THE FATHER, THE SON IS HIS WORD. EVERY WHERE THE FATHER WENT THE SON WENT ALSO, FINALLY MANIFESTED IN THE FLESH AS Jesus THE ‘CHRIST’ COMING TO 1. GIVE THE MESSAGE OF HIS FATHER GOD to all mankind,
2. COMING TO DESTROY SATAN which was done at the cross of Calvary, unto this day salvation is still available until he returns as told in the book of Mathew for starters, coming in the clouds, if you have seen me you have seen the father, a fabulous clue to this is the shroud of Turin the pictures shows the Ancient of days. Everything is God’s doing except Sin, from the book of Daniel the prophecies came true, as every other book showing/telling prophecies and those to come. Asa long as the Sun comes up God gives us time to repent of our Sins and turn to him who can save us from the wrath to come. Every man and women will be tested but those in CHRIST may be spared the test. So where are you in the scheme of mankind are you a loser or a winner, Jesus already won against Satan. SATAN is to powerful and deceiving for mankind to win alone, but we who belong to Christ are victorious because of HIM, having no righteousness of our own but HE IMPARTS to us his righteousness, so we must live daily for him. not mankind. Now you see the picture GET BUSY BECOME A CHILD OF GOD YOU WILL BE BLESSED.
2Thess 2:10..because they received not THE LOVE (Agape)of the truth, that they might be saved. 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
123’s of true Christianity v popular & damnable heresies
#1 “ONE” not triune: ……PART 4 & 5 HOW MANY GODS ARE THERE FOR THE ONE GOD TO TALK TO?? Who was Jesus praying to??!?…. The real question should be … How does having multiple different persons keep this one God/being/entity from praying to himself?! (The trinitarian “schizophrenic” “god-head”) The Trinitarians want to have their cake and eat it too as the saying goes. On the one hand they need to say they only worship one indivisible God being/ entity but on the other hand they feel the need for some reason to keep Jesus or God from praying and talking to himself by dividing him up into different persons!?! It never occurs to them that that since there is only one indivisible God to pray too and Jesus is that indivisible God come in the flesh that he would need to talk to himself as to show us how to live, suffer, pray and die for our/ flesh) benefit not his!?!….. So while Trinitarians are quick to complain that God was not talking to himself at Christ baptism or in Gen “let us” they ignore the logical demands of their own theology! If Jesus is the ONE GOD in flesh and the Father is the SAME ONE GOD in heaven then Trinitarianism demands THE ONE GOD is talking to HIMSELF the same “being”! Claiming that God is multiple different persons as the reason for why God is not talking to himself (because God is three different “selfs”) only demonstrates that what they really worship is in fact not a ONE GOD who talks to himself but three different god “selfs”/ and they all talk to each other! When they speak about who God was talking and praying to, they are quick to say “the other person, NOT HIMSELF!” But if you ask them how many gods do they pray to then they will say “ONLY ONE”!?! They expect you to believe that those three different persons are THE ONE GOD-BEING” which is like calling three different cars “THE ONE VEHICLE” (they are text book examples of prov 26:12)
Mark 12:28…Which is the first commandment of all? 29. …Hear, O Israel; THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD: 30. And ………..this is the first commandment….. 31. And the second is….. IF YOU CAN’T GET THIS “FIRST OF ALL COMMANDMENTS” RIGHT, ALL THE REST OF YOUR “FAITH” AND PREACHING ON LOVE & SIN IS MOOT
PART 6: THE ANTI CHRIST….WHERE? WHERE?….EVERYWHERE!!! …..IT”S YOU O TRINITARIAN!
“WHO” it was (what person) that came “IN THE FLESH”, IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE “ANT-CHRIST”! Even Islam claims Jesus was the Jewish messiah/Christ who was to come in the flesh) they all deny “WHO” it was (what person) that came (to be the Christ) in the flesh!?!…….To deny the father is to deny the son because they are one and the same person that came in the flesh!
JOHN 14: 8-20 ….Note Isaiah 9:6. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: …: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, … the everlasting Father ….The son, father/Holy Spirit are all the same person, NOT like two different persons working together even as “one flesh” ….The “oneness” between Christ and the father is not comparable to a man & his wife, for only a fool would say “When you have seen me you have seen my wife, how sayest thou then, Shew us your wife?” Notice they asked to see THE FATHER and the response was Jn 14:9 ..“HAVE I BEEN SO LONG time with you, and yet hast THOU NOT KNOW ME, Philip…..Now image some fool trying to claim that statement if you asked to see his wife!?!!? You want to see the FATHER but have I been with you but you don’t know me!?!?!
Jn 14 continued….…………..17. Even THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH; (Jn 14:6 I AM the way, THE TRUTH,) whom the world cannot receive, .. for HE DEWLLETH WITH YOU, (present tense/standing next to them in the flesh) and SHALL BE IN YOU… (future tense “In them”) 18. I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU (future tense “In them”) Note: The spirit of Christ is the sprit of God and the holy spirit that is why Christ said “I will come to you” (to comfort them, because Christ is the comforter). The spirit was standing next to them in flesh… ….latter it would come to them to be inside of them (inside of their flesh as the spirit we are given)…..that is why. he would send the spirit…… However, Jesus himself here makes the point that the same person who was the HOLY SPIRIT that would come was standing next to them but lets them know “I will come to you again to be Inside of you”
The whole point to Gal 3:20.a mediator is NOT A MEDIATOR OF ONE, (HEIS) but GOD IS ONE. (HEIS) again, point blank, identifies the number of persons of God! The “but” points out the contrast between multiple persons in a mediation party v the “one” of God. God is not like a mediation party with multiple different persons. …..”the express image of his person” ( the person of God; singular not plural).Any attempt to lay claim otherwise is willful ignorance and delusional nonsense
TRINITARIANS CONFESS JESUS /THEY ARE NOT POLYTHEIST BUT ARE MONOTHEIST LIKE A LIAR & THIEF WHO “CONFESS” THEY DO NOT LIE OR STEAL The simple fact is that just because you confess or deny that you are in an adulterous relationship and denounce all forms of adultery has nothing to do with whether or not it is in fact adulterous! .. …A rose by any other name is still just a rose AND calling it a water lily does not change the definition of what a water Lilly or a rose is either!…No, Trinitarians confess & preach literally …”ANOTHER JESUS” 2 Cor 11:4
- Like a thief in your house caught stealing your things insisting he was not there stealing “I CONFESS I am NOT stealing”. You just do not “properly understand” what he is doing/saying. Further, since you never had a “proper understanding” of what he is doing/saying you have no business accusing him since you do not even know what you are talking about in the first place. It is with and in your own ignorance that you base your “false accusations” & “ad homonym attacks” against him…… Ridiculous of course it is ……2Thess 2:11; Titus 1:16; 2Tim 3:5;
…… should have given you a hint, harking back to Satan in The garden…God said you will die…Satan comes along and states no you will be more WISE……today .God said He is one; but Satan’s children come along and say no three is more WISE and humble in the face of God’s grandeur only “a mystery” that can be understood “in faith”. God uses head and right arm to explain the distinctions between father and son.. However, the Trinitarian heretics say to the effect: “NO, that is just a figure of speech, or that is not what God really means. What God is really saying is that God is three different persons”. Fools, hypocrites and blind guides, God said he was One and by your traditions and vain imaginations have taken the words of God and made them of no effect, refashioning God into your image!

#2 SECOND COMING Thou Fool! “I come quickly” so “Hold fast
till i come”… NOT …“in another 2000 yrs I might be coming soon any time now, so hold fast”!?! …those that deny the second coming of Christ in the war of AD70 are practicing a damnable heresy in denying the lord that bought them ( 2Peter 2:1-2 ;2Tim 4:8/ you cant love an appearing you deny& the context is the 2nd coming not the first)… Mat 7:23..”I NEVER KNEW YOU” …..Mat 10:33. But whosoever shall deny me before men……..sound familiar?…. If I said I am coming to your house in this generation when these things happen but no one knows the day or hour what fool would think I might be coming in 2000 years latter!?!? ..2 Tim 4: 4. And
they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be TURNED UNTO FABLES.
2Thess 2: 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

#3 There is a sharp contrast between THREE groups :
(1) “PREDESTINED DAMNED” who were NEVER written in the book of life ………..Rev 17: 8 WHOSE NAMES WERE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, …as contrasted …EPH 1: 4. According as he hath CHOSEN US in him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD
(2) “MANY CALLED”= ONLY and ALL SAINTS (those who come to Christ) are written in the book of life … Philippians 4:3… ……Rev 21:27; (Only saints are Called and elect; Rom 1:6-7 et al) This is THE CHRUCH and ONLY these can have their names blotted out of the book of life ….….Heb 12:23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn … WHICH ………are WRITTEN in heaven,
(3) THE FEW CHOSEN: Those saints who were alive in group #2 who are now physically dead. They died “faithful” these are the FEW that were chosen faithful…….Rev 3:5. ……; and I
will not BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE, (Ps 69:28) …. These are the FEW that are CHOSEN and now that they have died and are saved then “once saved THEY CAN NEVER BE LOST”
