Christ is God

[ChristRoseFromTheDead]

hey brother let’s talk about melchezidek and Christ sometime ??

This is long; it's kind of a study I did for someone.

David made a prophecy about Christ in psalm 110.

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Psalms 110:1​

With you is the sovereignty in the day of your power, with the brightness of your holy ones. From out of the womb before the morning star I engendered you. The LORD swore by an oath, and shall not repent, saying, You are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchisedek. Psalms 110:3-4​

​

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Hebrews 5:5-6​

And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. Hebrews 5:9-10​

​

John the Baptist, who was a descendant of Aaron, was commissioned by God to fulfill the word of God as prophesied by David by transferring the priesthood from the order of Aaron to the order of Melchizedek. This occurred at Jesus' baptism, which was the fulfillment or anti-type of the commissioning of Aaron the high priest described in Leviticus 8. Aaron was a shadow of the reality of Christ as high priest.

There are four things to notice about Aaron'e commissioning ceremony: 1) it was publicly done at the door of the tabernacle (doorway to God), 2) Aaron was washed with water, 3) he was clothed with garments that symbolized holiness, righteousness, godliness (Isaiah 59:17, Ephesians 6:14-17) and 4) he was anointed with oil

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. Leviticus 8:1-4​

​

And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith. And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim. And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses. Leviticus 8:6-9​

​

And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him to sanctify him. Leviticus 8:12​

​

In a similar manner, Jesus 1) presented himself in public at the door of heaven, 2) was washed in water, 4) was anointed with the holy spirit and 3) was clothed with the spirit that abode on him.

Then went out to [John] Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. Matthew 3:5-6​

​

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. Matthew 3:13​

​

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Matthew 3:16-17​

​

And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. John 1:32​

Jesus implicitly acknowledged to John that he didn't need to be baptized with water, but entreated John to do it for the sake of fulfilling all righteousness, which I suspect means fulfilling the past shadow of Aaron's baptism/commissioning and fulfilling David's prophecy for the sake of honoring and glorifying God's word.

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. Matthew 3:13-15​

Now something interesting about Melchizedek. The bread and wine that Melchizedek the priest shared with Abraham seems to signify communion. Possibly a type or shadow of the new covenant meal fulfilled on Passover when Jesus shared bread and wine with his disciples

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. Genesis 14:18​

​

And he [Christ] took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you. Luke 22:19-20​

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 1 Corinthians 10:16​
