3. MELCHIZEDEK
Melchizedek blesses Abraham with gifts of Bread and Wine
CONTINUE FROM THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER
- In Genesis chapter 14 verses 18 to 20; Here, the Bible mentioned Melchizedek as the Priest of the Most High God and the King of Salem, who gave Abraham Bread and Wine and blesses him. In thanksgiving to God, Abraham gave Him one tenth of everything he has achived from the war. Now, lets look at the mystries behind this.
MYSTRIES.
Here, we know that God started His Kingdom with Abraham and He only told Moses to anoint Aron as His Priest (the first on earth) which took place after Abraham have died many years ago. Now the question is; who was this Man called 'Melchizedek', that he, being the Priest of the Most High God?
His offering of Bread and Wine to Abraham symbolises Jesus Christ offering Himself to us in the Blessed Eucharist when he instituted the Sacrament of Holy Communion by the breaking of bread and wine among his disciples at the Last Super, which later offer Himself on the Cross at Calvary for the whole world.
Here, Melchizedek is seen as the pre-existence of Jesus Christ on Earth.
