Rev. Bryant J. Williams III:
1. You wrote: “The name is Melchizedek, King of Salem….”
I disagree. This priest’s name, rather, is “(My Deity Is) King of Righteous Victory, King of Safety”.
Consider the following factors that support my view:
(i) There is no place called Shalem prior to the common era.
(ii) There is no basis for viewing $LM as being an abbreviation of “Jerusalem”.
