According to the Bible, Melchizedek possesses divine attributes, which suggests he is God and greater than Jesus, implying that Christians should worship him or that God is a Quadrinity.

The writer of Hebrews describes Melchizedek as a figure without father, mother, or genealogy, and without beginning or end, but this is meant to illustrate how he resembles Christ rather than to suggest that he is divine. The term 'aphomoiomenos' indicates that Melchizedek is made like the Son of God, emphasizing that he is a model or type pointing to the true priesthood of Christ. This typological interpretation is supported by the context in which Melchizedek is presented as a king of righteousness and peace, further underscoring his role as a precursor to Christ rather than a divine being in his own right. The author is not claiming Melchizedek is greater than Jesus; rather, he is using Melchizedek to reveal the greater reality of Christ's eternal priesthood and kingship, which surpasses all others.
