Answered in 1 source

Melchizedek serves as a type of Christ, highlighting His dual role as king and priest.

Melchizedek, as noted in Genesis 14, symbolizes the qualities of Christ, particularly His roles as both king and priest. Hebrews 7:3 emphasizes that Melchizedek is made like the Son of God, signifying an eternal priesthood that mirrors Christ's own. Furthermore, his titles of king of righteousness and king of peace encapsulate the essence of Christ’s work — offering righteousness through His sacrifice that leads to true peace with God. This typology points to the completeness of Christ's ministry and the hope He offers to believers.
