 There are a number of things to note about the LORD appearing to Abraham:
 ::*Three men appeared before Abraham, and Abraham said “My Lord” (he was only addressing one man among the three),
-::*Abraham recognized the LORD by sight (he had seen him before),
+::*Abraham recognized the LORD by sight (perhaps he had seen him before?),
 ::*Two men left Abraham for Sodom, and only the LORD remained (the LORD was embodied in only one of the men present),
-::*Two angels appeared unto Lot (in the form of men), and Lot said “my lords” (he did not have the same revelation of the Godhead that Abraham had).

 *''For such an high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.'' Hebrews 7:26, 27
-The true revelation of Melchizedek is that he is God, the Word, in the form of a man.  However, as Melchizedek was not born a man, he could not die or become a sacrifice for the sins of man. Melchizedek was therefore not the Son of God, but the God of the Son in the form of a man.  Note that Melchizedek was not bound to the form of a man, but could appear and disappear at will: much like Jesus after the resurrection.

-Melchizedek was immortal (Jesus died), Melchizedek had no father or mother (Jesus had God as his father, and Mary as his mother), Melchizedek was the King of Peace (Jesus was the Prince of Peace), Melchizedek was made “like unto the Son of God” (Jesus was the Son of God).

-Melchizedek was the ''fulness of the Godhead'' (Colossians 2:9), also known as the I AM,  in the form of a man, but without lineage.  Jesus was the I AM in the form of a man, from the lineage of Abraham.  Adam, another created son of God, was never the I AM, but was a part of God as a representation of His image and a physical prophecy of Jesus.

-Anyone who denies that Jesus is the Son of God will see Jesus as Melchizedek - God in the form of a man, but without the attribute of redeemer - at which point the Saviour becomes the Judge.  Jesus, who was the "beginning of the creation of God" (Revelation 3:14) said that ''Before Abraham was, I am'' (John 8:58) ''But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.'' (Matthew 10:33)

(Matthew 10:33)
 Understanding the nature of Melchizedek is one of the great keys in understanding the Godhead, and of understanding the Bible.  If you can identify the man who blessed Abraham, you can also identify the man who blessed Jacob.
