Hebrews 7 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

The Jewish tabernacle and its utensils.

Melchizedec met Abraham when returning from the rescue of Lot. His name, to �King of Righteousness, to � doubtless suitable to his character, marked him as a type of the Messiah and his kingdom. The name of his city signified to �Peace; to � and as king of peace he typified Christ, the Prince of Peace, the great Reconciler of God and man. Nothing is recorded as to the beginning or end of his life; thus he typically resembled the Son of God, whose existence is from everlasting to

everlasting, who had no one that was before him, and will have no one come after him, in his priesthood. Every part of Scripture honours the great King of Righteousness and Peace, our glorious High Priest and Saviour; and the more we examine it, the more we shall be convinced, that the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (Heb 7:4-10)
