What is the significance of Melchizedek being the King of Righteousness and the King of Peace?

Many believe that Melchizedek was an incarnation of Christ.AnswerMelchizedek is mentioned two times in the Old Testament. One is when he came out from Salem to greet Abraham. This passage is in Genesis 14 and recounts that Melchizedek was the king of Salem and also the High Priest of "God Most High". In Hebrew, this phrase means the God that we serve today. Melchizedek is the English translation of the "words" Melek Tzaddik, which in English is "king righteous". In other words, this "name" is also a description. The location "Salem" (which means peace) is identified as Jerusalem. It takes some digging, but there is an unbroken line in the name and location from this king to David who made Jerusalem the capitol.In Psalms 110, the entire chapter is prophetic in nature, speaking of a future king. This psalm is where one finds the footstool quote and also where the other mention of Melchizedek is in the Old Testament. In this one verse (verse 4), it says that Melchizedek is a High Priest of God...and that he is NOT a Levite because his "order" met Abraham, not came from Abraham. Therefore, the future king whom the chapter refers to is a High Priest who is not a Levite.So Melchizedek is a "type and shadow" of the Messiah, as Paul teaches extensively in Hebrews 5, 6, and 7. It is interesting to note that Paul's teaching in Hebrews (as the name of the book implies) was written to Jews who would have had knowledge of this mysterious king in Genesis.Taken with the two passages in Genesis and Psalms, the study in Hebrews seems to make a tight argument that Jesus is the future king and also the High Priest in Psalms. Jesus Himself made reference to this Psalm when He asked about the foot stool quote in Matthew 22:42-45, Mark 12:35-37, and Luke 20:41-44.
