S1 E6: The Bible's Greatest Man of Mystery: Melchizedek, Abraham's Priest, Part 2

Welcome to Episode 6 of Covenants & Kingdoms! In part two of their exploration of Melchizedek, Nathan and Brad continue unraveling the mystery of this enigmatic figure mentioned only a few times in scripture, yet described as greater than Abraham and a forerunner to Jesus. Building on Episode 5, they dive deeper into Genesis 14, Psalm 110, Hebrews 6-7, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, exploring Melchizedek’s roles as priest and king. Nathan examines ancient texts, including Philo of Alexandria and early church fathers, to uncover what scholars believed about Melchizedek’s identity: mortal man or divine manifestation? They also discuss Jesus’ own interpretation of Psalm 110 in Matthew 22, revealing connections to the Messiah. Join us as we dig into the Hebrew, ancient debates, and the profound link between Melchizedek and Jesus!Who is Melchizedek?
