==Teachings of William Branham== | |||
[[William Branham]] taught that Melchizedec was God in the form of man. However, as Melchezidec was not born a man, he could not die or become a sacrifice for the sins of man. So even though Melchezidec was not the son of God or the son of Man, he was still God in flesh and a pre-figure of Jesus Christ in maturity. For example, Melchszidek was the "king of peace" and was made "like unto the son of God", while Jesus is "the prince of peace" and is the "son of God". | |||
The following quote is taken from the sermon [http://www.thefreeword.com/books/1465-L.pdf "Who is this Melchesidec"], preached on February 21, 1965: | |||

|''Now, the true revelation of Melchisedec comes into view was--that He was God, the Word, before He became flesh, God the Word. 'Cause He had to be; no one else could be immortal like Him. See, I had father and mother; you did too. Jesus had father and mother. But this Man had no father or had no mother. Jesus had a time He started; this Man didn't. Jesus gave His life; this Man couldn't, because He was Life. And it's the self same Man all the time. I hope God reveals it to you, the self same Person all the time.'' | |||
