Hebrew Language - Abraham & Melchizadek


Expert: Gaddy Yaari - 9/28/2009

Question
Is Melchizadek higher than Abraham spiritually or kingly, or both? Does the Order of Melchizadek refer to his person or to his title of Priest-King?  Is it likely Melchizadek worshipped his pagan gods as well as  Yaweh?  Thank you so much!

Answer
Marion -

There have been many speculations about the Biblical Melchizadek, and there seems to be an agreement that he worshipped Abraham's God, but unlike Abraham, didn't have a covenant with God.

I am not familiar with the Order of Melchizadek, and can't therefore comment about it.
