Commentary on Hebrews 7:3
Melchizedek was 'without father, without mother, without descent' not literally but in the Genesis record—no genealogy is given. 'Having neither beginning of days nor end of life' refers to the silence of Scripture about his birth or death. He appears and disappears from the biblical narrative mysteriously. 'Made like unto the Son of God' means his biblical presentation (not his actual nature) typifies Christ's eternal priesthood. 'Abideth a priest continually' describes both his unrecorded end and Christ's eternal priesthood.
