Melchizedek: the priest-king who vanished from the Bible

Melchizedek: the biblical enigma nobody can sustancia ilegal

Before Jesus, a son of Noah, or a god of flesh and blood? The figure of Melchizedek is one of those theological black holes that, the deeper you dig, the more questions it raises. Videos about him multiply on YouTube, the internet can't agree on anything, and the only point of consensus is his importance. But what some analyses hide is that the original sources —from Genesis to the Kabbalah— describe him as something very different from what the institutional Church has told us.

The canonical version presents him as the "priest of the Most High" who blessed Abraham in Salem. However, a more heterodox current holds that this priest-king was Abraham's true teacher, the first to preach bread and wine instead of ritual sacrifices, and that his figure was deliberately erased or distorted during the Babylonian exile. In the Kabbalistic tradition, the Zohar identifies him with Shem, the son of Noah, and makes him the custodian of the divine wisdom that predates Israel.

But the theory that stirs up the hornet's nest the most comes from Mauro Biglino and the "Biglinians": Melchizedek would not be a symbol, but a being of flesh and blood, a "god" understood as a real person who lived among men. According to this reading, the original biblical accounts spoke of him as a visible friend of Abraham, and only later did the scribes replace him with the abstract figure of "God." Those who defend this hypothesis point out that the Old Testament itself was altered by the self-serving interests of the Jewish priests.

The truth is that, between the Melchizedek who pre-existed Christ defended by some Christians, the son of Noah of the Kabbalah and Biglino's extraterrestrial, the character has become a wildcard for all kinds of conspiracy theories. Whatever the truth may be, one thing is clear: his mystery will not be solved by looking at the sky, but by reading with a critical eye what official history wanted to bury.
