And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. Gen.14:18
After Abram defeats the kings that took his family, the priest of God who is also the king of Peace brings bread and wine to him. This is many years before Jesus said,
this is my body.....This is my blood
Mt.26:26,28 NIV
Then Abram gives Gods' high priest 1/10 of all his goods and this is long before the law,
Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord's; it is holy to the Lord. Lev.27:30
and even longer than when Malachi said,
Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. Bring the full tithe into the storehouse Mal.3:8 ESV
So Abram was made aware of the law and Gods' way of overcoming condemnation.
Melchizedek is a lot like Jesus in certain ways like those above but Hebrews 5:8 says this about our King and High Priest Jesus,
Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec, of whom we have many things to say and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. Heb.5:10-11 KJV
That's a strange thing to say, because it seems very apparent how Jesus is our High Priest.
