Was Melchizedek Actually Jesus?

[ResLight]

Some claim that Melchizedek was actually Jesus in Jesus' prehuman
existence. This discussion simply points out briefly and scripturally
why this is not true.

Concerning Melchizedek, we read:

he was priest of God Most High. -- Genesis 14:18.

Melchizedek was not "God" whom he served as priest.

You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. -- Psalm 110:4;
Hebrews 5:10; 7:17.

Jesus was not Melchizedek after whose order he became priest after his
ascension, for he was not such a priest while on earth. -- Hebrews
4:14; 8:1,4.

having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
-- Hebrews 6:20.

after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest. --
Hebrews 7:15.

Jesus, being spoken of as "another" priest other than Melchizedek, was
thus not Melchizedek.

Jesus, in becoming a priest in the "likeness" of Melchizedek, was not
Melchizedek of whom Jesus was the antitype.

Jesus is never, ever identified as Melchizedek, whom Jesus is priest
after the likeness of, and of whom Jesus is spoken in relation to as
"another" priest.

Additionally, the scriptures no where speak of the Messiah, the
anointed of Yahweh, as being Yahweh who anointed him. God, by means of
his holy spirit, reveals through the scriptures that Jesus is anointed
[made christ, the anointed one] by Yahweh. He is not Yahweh who thus
anoints him. -- Psalm 2:2; 45:7; Isaiah 61:1; Acts 2:36; 4:27; 10:38.

Neither is Melchizedek ever spoken of as being his God whom he served
as priest.
