Mike's position: Melchizedek is a type of Christ, not an actual Christophany/theophany
Mike distinguishes between a type (literary/theological correspondence) and a theophany (actual divine appearance).
Mike compares Melchizedek to David and Moses as types of Christ — figures whose lives and roles correspond to and foreshadow Jesus without being Jesus himself. He mentions a dedicated video in his 'Jesus in the Old Testament' series. He argues the text itself says Melchizedek 'resembles' the Son of God (Hebrews 7:3), which makes no sense if Melchizedek is the Son of God.
