Epithet name for God El Elyon - God most high

Genesis 14:17 After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley). 18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine.

Salem is jerusalem

Reasons why melchizedek is a big deal
1 His name means King of Righteousness (Hebrews 7)
2 Jesus is a Priest after his Line (Hebrews 7)
3 The Prophecy of Christ’s Priesthood Mentions him (Psalm 110)

He offered bread and wine - prefigures the eucharist

Church history
Aquinas in 1200’s said “Melchizedek is like Christ”
St. Clement of Alexandria in 100’s said “furnishing consecrated food for a type of Eucharist.”
Hugh St. Victor in the 1000’s said “Melchizedek’s oblation was a sacrament of a sacrament, a figure preceding the truth.”
Jonathan Edwards in the 1700’s said “Melchizedek was designed of God to be a shadow of Christ.”

19 And he blessed him and said,
“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
Possessor of heaven and earth;
20
and blessed be God Most High,
who has delivered your enemies into your hand!”
And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
