Title: Who Was Melchizedek? At this point, it is impossible (or at least very unwise) to proceed into Hebrews any further without clearly defining who Melchizedek was.  The author of Hebrews operates under the assumption that his audience, being Jews, has an idea of who Melchizedek was, but maybe they don’t understand the significance of...
