Hebrews 7:3
“Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.”
Says he was without beginning and made like the Son of God. The "second begotten"? Bible says Jesus was the only begotten though...
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Satan sinned long before the time of Abraham.
Did Satan and the Angels have a beginning?
If Melchisidec was like Jesus, could he be an incarnation of the Holy Spirit? "Abiding a priest continually" kind of sounds like the role of the Holy Spirit.
Or was Melchisidec a unique construct, does he still walk the Earth today? If it doesn't matter, why was he mentioned? Why does He exist. (Apparently, He still does.) Should we capitalize His pronoun?
I believe Ezek 28 is directed to Satan, and I think it's describing him in a priestly role, for he had access to the mount of God, we can see the nine stones he was adorned with, nine stones that are also used in the Aaronic priesthood. Etc
Ezek 28:11 The word of the Lord came to me: 12 “Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘You were the seal of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in Eden,
the garden of God;
every precious stone adorned you:
carnelian, chrysolite and emerald,
topaz, onyx and jasper,
lapis lazuli, turquoiseand beryl.
Your settings and mountings were made of gold;
on the day you were created they were prepared.
14 You were anointed as a guardian cherub,
for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
15 You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created
till wickedness was found in you.
I believe Satan and the angels are created beings and were created as part of the 6 days of creation and I don't ascribe to any gap theory, of previous creations where things didn't work out and remnants drifted over into our creation etc
So I guess I already start from the premise Satan a guardian cherub was also a priest and was acting or suppose to be acting in that capacity. And I also see that on day 6 of creation everything was very good, so the way I see it at the beginning at least Satan was a good guy in commune with God, yet as we can see by the writing of Ezekiel God is sending a prophet to him.
Also Satan was the king of Tyre in this account, so Satan does fit the role of both priest and king, something the king of Israel was not allowed to do, hence another reason of refering to a greater order than the levitical one.
If Christ was Melchizedek then Hebrews is saying or appealing upon the priest hood of Himself that qualifies Him as both King and Priest, which makes less sense to me. A type or a similtude makes more sense to me.
This can turn into a pretty big subject which I'm scared to go into to much and I don't won't to be dogmatic about anything as I can see why people think otherwise and for their own good reasons that also make some sense, as there are a few differing opinions on this topic, so each to their own...
