Shem or Melchizedek?

Unraveling An Ancient Biblical Mystery

Pastor Bob Thibodeau explores the intriguing identity of Melchizedek, a pivotal figure in the biblical narrative, and his connection to Abram.

The episode delves into the significance of Abram's tithing to Melchizedek, which symbolizes a passing of spiritual authority and God's covenant blessing upon Abram.

Drawing from Jewish traditions, Pastor Bob discusses the compelling possibility that Melchizedek may actually be Shem, the son of Noah, highlighting the continuity of God’s plan through generations.

The timeline of events suggests that Shem, witnessing Abram's divine victory, sought to affirm Abram's faithfulness and role in God's mission.

This exploration emphasizes the deep connections between the pre-flood and post-flood eras and how faithful individuals can carry forward God's promises.
