Besides, Melchizedek was "made LIKE unto the son of God" (Heb.7:3); he was not Jesus himself, but had certain similarities with him which are being used by the writer for teaching purposes. "After the similitude of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest", Jesus (Heb.7:15), who was ordained a priest "after the order of Melchizedek" (Heb.5:5,6).
Isitoshe, Melkizedeki"alifananishwa na Mwana wa Mungu"(Ebra. 7: 3); hakuwa ni yeye mwenyewe Yesu, bali alikuwa na mfano mmoja halisi naye ambao umetumika na mwandishi kwa kusudi la kufundishia."Ametokea kuhani mwingine mithili ya Melkizedeki", Yesu (Ebra. 7: 15) naye amefanywa kuhani mkuu'kwa mfano wa Melkizedeki"(Ebra. 5: 5,6).
