He is a puzzle. All of a sudden he appears in the Bible in a small part. He was a king of Salem who was also the priest of Most High God even before Israel was formed. When Abraham found that Melchizedek was the priest of the Most High God whom he serves, he gave tithe from everything he had.
Some compare him with the Holy Spirit as (Hebrews 7:2-4)
– He did not have a father and mother,

– He was comparable to the Son of God,
– He was a man who could get tithe from Abraham.
