Genesis 14:11-20
From the scriptures we know it's not everyone who is on this earth and looks like a human being that's a human being.
Not everyone we see is human!
Angels are not human beings, but from time to time some of them manifest in the form of human beings to carry out God's will among us.
This is why the Bible encourages us to show hospitality to strangers.
Some have blessed angels in the act of being kind and hospitable.
In the same way, demons and fallen angels can also take on forms as people temporarily, to carry out Satan's agenda.
The visitors Abraham had in Genesis 18:2 were not human beings, they were divine but appeared in the form of human beings.
From the old testament to the new testament, we see divine visitors coming to the earth in one form or another. Either in human form or their divine form.
The fallen angels who married women in Genesis 6 were not human but took on the form of human beings and married women to carry out Satan's plan. They must have lived on earth for a while in human form to marry human women.
Jesus Christ was not an ordinary human being.
He was divine.
He was God's Word made flesh.
So, God can take on the form of a human being.
Melchizedek was not an ordinary human being.
Melchizedek was a divine being that came to live on earth in Abraham's time for a purpose.
Melchizedek is one of the mysteries of life.
Melchizedek, though he features in the scriptures briefly is one of the mysteries of the Bible.
The Bible is clear about it that Melchizedek is not an ordinary human being.

Hebrew 7:3
In Bible times people were not permitted to serve as priests except their parents, family members and lineage was known.
But Melchizedek whose genealogy or history is not known functioned as a priest!
Until Jesus came, no one functioned as a priest and a King at the same time except David who is a pointer to Jesus Christ who is to come.
God gave David the grace to function in different offices. However, David did not function as a full time priest like Melchizedek did.
Melchizedek was a full time priest and King at the same time. A position reserved purely for Jesus's order.
No human produced Melchizedek. He had no father or mother.
No one ordained him into the priestly office except God. There was no inauguration day to his ministry.
Everything about Melchizedek points to God.
Abraham tithed to Melchizedek because Abraham was a man who has the ability to know people who were from God and people who were not ordinary. Such beings were always drawn to Abraham it seems.
Melchizedek was King of Salem, Salem means peace.
Melchizedek was a priest to God most High.
Jesus is the high priest of God to us on God's right hand. Jesus is the only high priest of God.
The Bible tells us Melchizedek was greater than Abraham.
Jesus Christ is the only man in the Bible bold enough to claim greater greatness than Abraham.
Before Abraham was, Jesus existed.
The name Melchizedek means King of righteousness, only Jesus is the King of righteousness!
Melchizedek received Abraham's tithe.
The tithe is for God and His work on the earth.
Melchizedek served the Holy communion (bread and wine) which is one of the things we see Jesus doing in His ministry and on the earth.
Nobody could have served the communion table and known it's meaning except Jesus Himself.
Melchizedek is Jesus before we knew Him as Jesus the Christ.
Melchizedek is Jesus before He appeared to the world as Christ.
Melchizedek is Jesus in His pre-incarnate form.
Jesus is the one the tithe is for, for Jesus is God.
Never give your tithe to a man or ministry God has not touched you to give it to.
We have been made Kings and priests after the order of Jesus Christ, so among the priests and kings in Christ's Kingdom Jesus determines who can and should be collecting the tithe on His behalf (those in the five fold ministry).
Only Jesus can instruct you on which individual or ministry you should give your tithe to on His behalf.
