Who Was Melchizedek?
Read
JST, Genesis 14:25-40; Alma 13:14-19; Doctrine and Covenants 84:14, 107:1-4;
and the
Institute
Student Manual commentary for Genesis 14:18, “Who Was Melchizedek?” (pg. 67-68).
Write
a paragraph or two describing what you found out about Melchizedek.
Okay, first off...Wow. I chose this option because it was going to be faster, but boy was it jam-packed full of info. Melchizedek was the King of Salem (which, by the way became Jerusalem, aka the city of peace).
Abraham received his priesthood through Melchizedek. Melchizedek was very powerful in the Lord, shutting the mouths of lions and quenching fire. It is his name that was given to the Priesthood to avoid the repetition of the Lord's name.
Wow.
