In order for us to understand the significance of Melchizedek, we first have to understand a little bit about how we are to read the bible, and how God reveals truth and meaning through the bible.
Revelation in the Bible
General Revelation -
Special Revelation -
*Read Belgic Confession Articles 3 and 4
ARTICLE II
By What Means God Is Made Known unto Us
We know Him by two means: First, by the creation, preservation, and government of the universe; which is before our eyes as a most elegant book, wherein all creatures, great and small, are as so many characters leading us to see clearly the invisible things of God, even his everlasting power and divinity, as the apostle Paul says (Rom. 1:20).
All which things are sufficient to convince men and leave them without excuse.
Second, He makes Himself more clearly and fully known to us by His holy and divine Word, that is to say, as far as is necessary for us to know in this life, to His glory and our salvation.
ARTICLE III
The Written Word of God
We confess that this Word of God was not sent nor delivered by the will of man, but that men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit, as the apostle Peter says; and that afterwards God, from a special care which He has for us and our salvation, commanded His servants, the prophets and apostles, to commit His revealed word to writing; and He Himself wrote with His own finger the two tables of the law.
Therefore we call such writings holy and divine Scriptures.
When it comes to special revelation, there are differing views on HOW the bible reveals to us the triune God and his purposes.
Author Intention
Author Intention
those which insist that meaning resides in authorial intention; those which locate meaning in the text itself; and those in which meaning is to be found in the response of the reader
The Bible is a record of revelation
Readers Response
“This is what it means to me”
“if I read and that helps me be a bette
Text itself
The text, is God’s revelation, not merely the events which the text records.
God communicates perfectly, through divinely-ordained events recorded by divinely-inspired writers using divinely-ordained language.
Our focus should not be only on the human authors intended meaning, but the divinely intended meaning also.
