Who is Melchizedek?
Who is Melchizedek? Across ancient scripture, scroll fragments, and modern revelation, his identity remains one of the most intriguing spiritual mysteries in religious history.
This episode explores Melchizedek from three major perspectives:
• His first appearance in the Hebrew Bible as the King of Salem and priest of El Elyon in Genesis 14
• His connection to Jesus and the priesthood described in Psalm 110 and the New Testament book of Hebrews
• The Melchizedek scroll found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, which portrays him as a divine judge and eschatological redeemer.
Then we go further, examining The Urantia Book’s extraordinary claims: that Melchizedek is not simply a lone ancient priest-king, but part of an order of divine Sons who intervene in the universes during times of spiritual crisis.
According to these papers, nearly two thousand years before Jesus, Machiventa Melchizedek incarnated on Earth to revive the doctrine of one God, establish a spiritual school at Salem, teach surrounding tribes, introduce a symbol connected to the Trinity, and prepare humanity for the later arrival of Christ.
In this study we ask:
What do the scriptures say?
What do the ancient scrolls suggest?
And does The Urantia Book offer a clearer answer to the question: Who is Melchizedek?
Join us as we trace the story from Genesis to Qumran to Urantia.
