Melchizedek

Melchizedek is a demon in the series.

HistoryEdit

Melchizedek, also known as Melchisedech, Melkisetek or Malki Tzedek, is a biblical figure known for his wisdom. He was the king of Salem and priest of El Elyon mentioned in the 14th chapter of the Book of Genesis. He brings out bread and wine and then blesses Abram and El Elyon, in the time of Abraham.

Chazalic literature, specifically Targum Jonathan, Targum Yerushalmi and the Babylonian Talmud, presents the name as a nickname title for Shem, the son of Noah. In Christianity, according to the Epistle to the Hebrews, Jesus Christ is identified as "High priest forever in the order of Melchizedek," and so Jesus assumes the role of high priest once and for all. Josephus refers to Melchizedek as a "Canaanite chief" in War of the Jews, but as a priest in Antiquities of the Jews. Philo identifies Melchizedek with the Logos as priest of God, and honored as an untutored priesthood.

The Qumran Scrolls, also indicate that Melchizedek was used as a name of the archangel Michael, interpreted as a heavenly priest; Michael as Melchi-zedek contrast with Belial, who is given the name of Melchi-resha "king of wickedness." This connection with an archangel may be the reason he is sometimes treated as an angel in some depictions, specifically a power.

Melchizedek is also an angel in Gnosticism, governing peace and righteousness. While Jesus was the savior of the people, Melchizedek was the savior of the angels, and sometimes is said to be greater than Christ himself. According to gnostics, he was the former king of Salem before ascending to heaven without dying.
