The Author of Hebrews and Melchizedek
Melchizedek is a prominent figure for sure in the Dead Sea Scroll community, the Qumran community. He comes up another important Jewish text too: Hebrews. The author of Hebrews reads past the assignment to find out what Melchizedek says about Abraham and his relationship with God. In Psalm 110 he discovers verse 4, the Lord said, you are priest forever according to the order of Melchizeek. So if we could imagine a moment of a light bulb moment for him saying this text, God the Father spoke to Jesus whom I've heard about and experienced.
