Melchizedek: The Priest With No Father, No Mother, No End

He appears for exactly three verses. No father. No mother. No beginning of days, no end of life. And Abraham — the father of faith himself — bows down and pays him a tenth of everything he owns. This video traces the strange, unfinished story of Melchizedek — the king-priest of Salem who blesses Abraham in Genesis 14, vanishes for a thousand years, resurfaces in King David's Psalm 110, and becomes the single most important Old Testament figure in the entire Book of Hebrews' argument for who Jesus really is. Along the way we look at Josephus's historical account of Melchizedek as a real Canaanite king, the ancient rabbinic theory that he was actually Shem, son of Noah, and — buried in a cave above the Dead Sea for two thousand years — a scroll that dares to call him by a name almost never given to anyone but God. 📖 KEY VERSE "Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, he remains a priest forever."
