The Melchizedek Priesthood

By Editor

3042.— Mrs. W. W. W.— This department is too limited to give a full explanation of the first three verses of Hebrews 7. The Melchizedek priesthood was an order to which our Lord belonged, and to which the Melchizedek of Genesis 14 belongs. The meaning of Melchizedek is “King of Righteousness;” melchi, “king;” zedek, “righteousness.” The only true peace is the peace which comes through righteousness; and he was therefore King of Salem, which is King of Peace. Upon this we will have more to say hereafter in articles which may be written.
