The writer of the book of Hebrews listed five negatives which relate to the person of Melchisedec. Heb. 7:3 Without father, such a person would not have been born of the seed of any man. Neither Melchsidec nor the one who is stated to be the Word were born of the will or actions of a man. The Word was not the Son until He was born of the virgin Mary. Only as the Son of Man did He possesses a Father and a Mother. Prior to that time, He was the Word, and was with God and was God. He cannot be divided from all that is called God. John 1:1.
When Jesus, as the Son, proclaimed God to be His Father, the Jews readily understood that in so doing He was declaring Himself to be God. John 5:18 The Jews did not need a revelation for that one. The Lord Jesus, who was in the form, the image, the likeness, and having the character of God did not account it a violation of the Word to reckon Himself to be equal, in full agreement and being, with God. Phil. 2:6 Nor was their any objection voiced by the Almighty. Rather He said, this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, hear you Him. Mt. 17:5 Had the Lord Jesus not represented or spoken the truth He would not have been acknowledged in such a manner.
Without descent. Mind you, we do not find a mistake here by those who recorded the genealogy of Israel. Melchisedec was not over looked, nor was there a failure to register Him at His birth. He simply was not in the form of a man, He had not had a birth whereby as Melchsidec He was a man, He was in the form of God, prior to His appearance to Abraham. He did not divest Himself of His eternal nature to show Himself to Abraham but veiled Himself in a human form. After accomplishing His mission He continued in the form of one eternal.
Not having a beginning of days The only possibility to enjoy being eternal is to be God or being able to assimilate the very nature of the Lord. Aside from the Lord, there is nothing possessing such a quality. Everything in our life and those things which surround us have their beginning and their ending. It takes the help of the Word and the Spirit of the Lord to even begin to understand a Being who had no beginning. He is life. Eternal, everlasting, timeless life. It is impossible to find a beginning of that life, for there is none. It has always existed and will always be existent. John 1:4 John called Him, the Word of life and that eternal life. Life eternal is found in the Son. 1 John 1:1-2.
