We already learned that Jesus Christ is the reality of Melchizedek because just as Melchizedek blessed Abraham with bread/wine also Jesus blessed His disciples with bread/wine. But why did Apostle Paul still say this was a hard teaching for that era? What's so difficult to understand about Melchizedek 2,000 years ago?
Heb 7:1 explains the following characteristics of Melchizedek which should have been fulfilled by Jesus to prove that He [JESUS] is the true MELCHIZEDEK:
*King of Salem (king of gentile country)
*without father or mother (non-believer's household)
*without genealogy (no Jewish blood)
However, when we take a look at Jesus life, He was first of all titled King of Jews (Mt 27:35). Whoever does the will of God is considered to be our father and mother, which is basically a believer's household (Mt 12:46) and also Jesus was born of Jewish parents which clearly states he had Jewish blood (Matthew 1).
How is it that Jesus Christ didn't fulfill all the prophetical points to be Melchizedek? He only fulfilled bringing bread/wine and also that He is God Almighty, but what about everything else? Will he not fulfill the whole prophecy of Melchizedek to proof He is Christ, who came in the Order of Melchizedek 2,000 years ago?
