Who was Melchizedek? He shows up once in Genesis, blesses history’s most important patriarch, and then vanishes — no father, no mother, no family tree on record.
Abraham has just won an unlikely battle against a coalition of invading kings. Then this stranger, the king of Salem and priest of God Most High, meets him with bread and wine — and Abraham responds by giving him a tenth of everything he has.
In this episode of Veil & Broc, we look at what actually made that blessing so significant — the meaning behind Melchizedek’s name and his city, why a priesthood with no genealogy might matter more than one with one, and how a two-verse cameo in Genesis echoes for centuries after.
