Why would Melchizedek still be alive and could he be older than Adam and Eve and where can we meet with him today?
The biblical Melchizedek was a priest of El Elyon who was sought out by Abraham (Gen. 14:18-20). That is, Melchizedek was already a believer in El Elyon when Abraham came to him. El Elyon was the God of Abraham.In the Melchizedek scroll found in Cave 11 at Qumran by the Dead Sea (11QMelchizedek), Melchizedek was viewed as a human who has become one of the gods in the council of El Elyon (Psalm 82). In the author's citation of Isaiah 61:2 the name Melchizedek appears to have been substituted for the name of Yahweh (God). In addition, Melchizedek is seen as atoning for the sins of the righteous and executing judgement upon the wicked, actions which are otherwise uniquely associated with God or the mission of Jesus Christ.Based on this fringe Jewish belief, Melchizedek could be still alive today because he is one of the gods although, having once been human, he is not as old as Adam and Eve. He can be met in heaven.
