18 And 1Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
1 Melchizedek, type of Christ the King-Priest (Heb. vii.) The type strictly applies to the priestly work of Christ in resurrection, since Melchizedek presents only the memorials of sacrifice, bread and wine. "After the order of Melchizedek" (Heb, vi. 20) refers to the royal authority and unending duration of Christ's high priesthood (Heb. vii. 23,24). The Aaronic priesthood was often interrupted by death. Christ is a priest after the order of Melchizedek, as King of righteousness, King of peace (Isa. xi. 4-9; Heb vii. 2), and in the endlessness of His priesthood; but the Aaronic priesthood typifies His priestly work.
