John 8:56-58


Only the Messiah is both a King and Priest of God Most High.

Genesis 14:18


Jesus said he meet Abraham, and this mysterious figure who comes from nowhere who have no start or end, whos name is "The King of Righteousness", who is the "King of Peace", and "High Priest of the Most High God", meets Abraham and pulls out some bread and wine and has communion.

Hebrews 7:3

Jesus was not Melchisedec
Jesus' priesthood was after the order of Melchisedec; in other words it was the same type of priesthood. That priesthood of Melchisedec didn't have a beginning of days; there is no record of his birth or death, and no family history was needed such as with the Aaronic priesthood requiring they be a Levite. There was no ending of days for Melchisedec's priesthood such as the 20 year duration of the Aaronic priesthood. Melchisedec was a king, and Jesus is a king; the earthly kingdom of Jerusalem was not the heavenly Jerusalem.

Hebrews 7:3 says Melchisedec was "made like unto the Son of God;" abideth a priest continually. Why would Melchisedec have to be made like unto the Son of God if He was the Son of God? We also are changed from glory to glory into the image of Christ, and our lives like unto the Son of God has no end.

But in the greek it says he was a 'model' or 'copy' of the Son of God and a priest forever. Without beginning or end of days. And He meet Abraham and had bread and wine. And his name was The King of Righteousness.

Jesus said he meet with Abraham. If there is anywhere Jesus did appear to Arbraham thats the one.

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. 2 And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” 3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: 4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.
Genesis 17:1-5

This was Jesus before He became flesh.

Again

3 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. 3 Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.”

4 So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!”

And he said, “Here I am.”

5 Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” 6 Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. Exodus 3:1-6

This was Jesus before He became flesh.


Again


17 Then Manoah said to the Angel of the Lord, “What is Your name, that when Your words come to pass we may honor You?”

18 And the Angel of the Lord said to him, “Why do you ask My name, seeing it is wonderful?”

19 So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering, and offered it upon the rock to the Lord. And He did a wondrous thing while Manoah and his wife looked on— 20 it happened as the flame went up toward heaven from the altar—the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar! When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell on their faces to the ground. 21 When the Angel of the Lord appeared no more to Manoah and his wife, then Manoah knew that He was the Angel of the Lord.

22 And Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, because we have seen God!”
Judges 13:17-22

This was Jesus before He became flesh.

So you think its impossible for Jesus to have appeared in the flesh to Abraham. Jesus said he met Abraham, and Abraham seen his day and was glad. The Scripture says Abraham had communion with the King of Righteousness.

Whos the King of Righteousness. Jesus or another figure also has that name and title whos days have no beginning and end who is also a priest of the Most High God forever.

God can step in and out of his creation as he wish. He come in the name Jesus of Nazareth to do his work.


The only other reference who is both a King and Priest is the Messiah.

The King of Righteousness, the king of Peace, who is priest of most High forever, who days have no start or end, pulled out bread and wine with Abraham.

Does it get any more obvious. Even angels were created. This figure was from eternity.

And again in the flesh.

18 Then the Lord appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. 2 So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, 3 and said, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. 4 Please let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. 5 And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh your hearts. After that you may pass by, inasmuch as you have come to your servant.”

They said, “Do as you have said.”
Genesis 18:1-5
